USA! USA!

Whew, the Olympics are finally over! Good thing because it was really messing with my sleep schedule. Obviously I watched a lot of Olympics these past two weeks. I really enjoyed it, especialy that gold medal game for basketball. Fun! I didn't stay up til 2 a.m. though. DirecTV had some olympic basketball channel and they had the replay on at 8 a.m.

Charlotte came to visit this weekend. Unfortunately, their flight was delayed 5 hours, so our play time was cut short by quite a bit. Anyhow, she is so cute. She is quite the walker now and getting around very well. She's also very sweet, giving the dolly lots of hugs and kisses. She'll even throw in a hug or two for the relatives. =P She also knows how to brush her teeth. Unfortunately she was using a baby hair brush to do it. hehehe. yuck.

Two food events this past weekend: I tried a turkey burger and we went to Mozza Osteria. Whoever said turkey burgers were good, apparently have never had beef or are doing their best to convince themselves. I was just trying to be a little healthier, but I don't think I'll be going the turkey burger route again. As for Mozza Osteria - the food was good - but for the price and flavor, I would stick with Mozza Pizzaria. There was a $40 difference between what we paid at Pizzaria and Osteria, but that's probably because we had more alcohol at Osteria. =P

SLACKER

OK, so it's been quite a while since I updated. I know - I'm a total slacker. So what's been going on? Well, I was essentially out of the office for three weeks straight. First, I got jury duty. JURY DUTY! You'd think I'd get excused, especially on a criminal matter since I was an intern at the public defender's office, but I guess since I was just an alternate, it didn't really matter. So, I sat there day after day listening to testimony, but did not get to deliberate... and it was a hung jury! What a waste of our time! Send that sucker to the slammer.

The week after that, I went to Vegas, and of course it was burnin hot. I actually considered running, but just wasn't able to get up and go at 5 am when the temperature was still reasonable. After Vegas I took off for New York. Vuong actually came along since Gina was going to be there with Weyland. I have to say, it sucks to be working in NY while your friends are out goofing around. I did manage to get some good dinners with them though - Cafe Havana and Otto. Then we came back and Vuong, Lin and I went to Mozza Pizzeria. Yum! Mario Batali rocks. I've now had B&B (Vegas), Mozza Pizzeria (LA), and Otto (NY) and they have all been fantastic.

Anyhow, this is my first real week back to work and let me tell you, I walked into a PILE of stuff on my desk. Documents, shoes, you name it... It was horrid. I've managed to get through most of it, so hopefully tomorrow won't be as tiring. TGIF!
