Hey there! How ya doin? I'm having a nice relaxing weekend. That's right, no running around, no plans... It's a good thing it's almost Monday because I'm starting to get bored. =P So let's see... Monday night I dragged my butt to the gym. I want to see if I can keep this up without resorting to more training sessions. Tuesday after work, I went up to Hollywood to watch a guitar concert with Shivaji, Cindy and Brian.
Prior to, we had Italian food at Angeli Cafe. Good stuff, reasonable prices. The wine was also very good, but I don't remember what kind we got. They didn't have huge portions, which may matter to some, but I'm actually ok with. I think the demand for huge portions in America is why we're a fat country. You get a huge portion, you feel compelled to eat more, or you don't feel like you're eating that much when you are. Then you walk the few feet to your car and sit down while your butt expands, until you reach your next location, where your butt continues to expand.
Anyhow, we saw this duo, Rodrigo and Gabriela. www.rodgab.com. They play guitar and they are awesome. I think Gabriela rocks a little more though. She did the hard core stuff. It's as if she's the Justin Timberlake and he's the rest of N'Sync. She's talented and she's cute, so if they broke up, she'd do well.
Wednesday was another GuGu night, and on Thursday, my body just gave up on me and decided to make me stay in. I told myself I was going to go to the gym, but I could barely stay awake at 8, so I just stayed in. So of course, on Friday, I felt guilty and got up at 6 and actually dragged my butt to the gym. Amazing, I know. I, too, am in shock. That night, I took my parents out to the (relatively) new Gladstone's at the Pike to check it out. The food was good, but I found it more pricey than it was worth. Probably won't be going back there much. It was partly just a bout of laziness that we ended up there. We were going to go to a seafood place up in Torrance, but I was hoping to do other stuff that night and I figured if we ate closer to home, I'd have a better chance of making it out. In the end, we still didn't get home til about 9 and I was too tired to go out anyway, since I woke up at 6.
Saturday, I wrapped up all my damaged parts (left knee and right ankle) and went to the tennis courts. It's like Robocop is coming out to play. OMG it was HOT. I know I did this all the time last summer, playing in 90-100 heat, but maybe I'm just getting too old for it.
Later that afternoon, my goddaughter Nikki was playing in a tournament at El Dorado Park, so we went to watch. She was #1 in the 12 and unders last year, but now she is 13 and playing 14's, so she has dropped in ranking. Let me tell you, there are some BIG 14 year old girls out there! What the hell were they fed? Anyhow, I believe she is currently #47, but I'm sure when she hits her growth spurt and her body catches up with her size 10 feet, she'll be able to hang with the big girls. Tthat's right, size 10. I had to ask, since I noticed her feet when she was sitting next to me. I wear size 7 tennis shoes since I wear thicker socks (and now an ankle brace) and they were totally dwarfed by her feet. Afterwards, we hit In n Out so the poor kid could refuel before heading home to Palm Springs.
Later Saturday night, I headed over to Sam & Patty's. I haven't seen them in over two years! You know how I know? They have this two year old son I've never met. =P His name is Josh and he cracks me up. He's got the big Korean head (99th percentile) and this skinny little body. He's like a living lollipop. Karis is a big girl now and about to start kindergarten. She is totally daddy's girl. Sam, Patty, Dennis and I sat around chatting til one a.m. It was just like the old days. Hopefully it won't be another two years before I see them again. =P
That's pretty much it! Hit good old Target today. Love that place. Looking forward to the short week ahead. Hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th!
