little ole update

Friday – a whole lot of laid-back nothingness – not to mention I had to be up early for a massage gig.

Saturday: great massage day. Was feeling so Zen and between the yoga and a few other things, I felt good -- plus the weather when I looked out the window was gray, so I didn’t feel like I was missing a thing…

Saturday night, me and Mr. A went to dinner at this fun Mexican restaurant. Actually, it was just “okay” but the company was great, nonetheless.

Today we did our yearly hike for Kathy’s birthday. We met at the top of Topanga and hiked for a whopping three hours! Our group was pretty much the same as last year which was great and fun -- and fortunately, the weather was cooler so unlike last year, we weren’t stinky and hot the whole time.

It was ridiculously beautiful and clear and at times I wanted to chime out tunes from “the Sound of Music” and this would have been the right group to do that in, too!

Afterwards, we went to the Reel Inn in Malibu. My meal was meh, but again, company was great.

On a sad note, I found out my Aunt Flo died Friday night. My shock comes from the fact I truly thought she would live forever – so full of energy, opinions and surrounded by so many people that loved her – and she definitely wore the pants in her family with my Uncle of 57 years and their six daughters. But right now, I feel for her family that is left to cope – love to you all at this very difficult time -- and much hope that Aunt Flo meets up with my Mom at some point…

I survived!

Day 1 back at work: not so bad. It could be the fact that everyone is still out, including the two people I work closest with and do the most work for, so really, I just stopped in, said hi to my usual peeps, sorted mail and hung out.

K and I did our usual run into Beverly Hills. We are so lucky to be so close to such good walking adventures. Beyond just the great shopping (mostly the best apothecary EVER and Whole Foods) the people watching never fails us. We had seen some of ODDEST sites in our daily walks and they have nothing to do with star sightings or the like.

One day we were walking into one of the very lush neighborhoods and found a very large box of empty condoms lying on a lawn . A few steps further there were condoms littered in a strange and orderly fashion, every five feet for about a block. At the end of the block was a scrap of paper that looked like someone had taken some blocking notes for a script, ripped a chunk of the paper off and dropped it on the ground. It said something like ".. and Fefe broke it off with him like a hamhock in stew..." We were dumbfounded.

Anyway. Day 1 was okay. still have two flat tires and am quite sure there is an angry elf somewhere that is taking some joy in poking my wheels.

Well. As they say in the homeland, Lahko noch (that means good night)
