the week's adventures included a healthy appreciation for rain. the southland got a few days of drizzely, rainy goodness and i've never had better hair. (must move back to washington soon!)
my mom, aunt, a friend and i had girl's night out at the grove where we shopped, dined on fab greek food and saw a very late showing of jodi foster in the brave one. okay, did anyone else notice what a *killer* body that lady has? i was distracted from the plot by admiring her biceps and awesome calf muscles. omigod, i so covet her personal trainer!
the next day was a lazy saturday spent exploring los angeles' little osaka neighborhood. i drooled over the stuff at giant robot (finally!) and enjoyed an italian/japanese fusion lunch. we wound up the evening at uwink at which i enjoyed the cutest mini cheeseburgers (called sliders for some reason) and sweet potato fries.
sunday was a flurry of activities with church and the future in-laws. a bithday celebration of mini-golf for the nephew and dinner with the family at the rainforst cafe which was rather entertaining with the moving jungle animals and thunderstorm.
the highlight of the weekend was getting my butt kicked by the boy at a game of dance, dance revolution. apparently, my boy's natural, tigger-like bouncing abilities are far superior to my ballet gracefulness when it comes to this game. huh.9/24/2007 12:03:00 PMwedding countdown: lots of brainstorming happening. i've met with one florist to get ideas. attended one bridal expo to get overwhelmed and placed on mass marketing junk mail lists (fab trip rates to cabo anyone?). spent 4 hours at david's bridal last weekend and felt like a deer in headlights. (though i did find a possible dress)
and then the nice sales associate pointed out the sobering reality that a working girl really has only weekends to plan and organizer her wedding and there's only 52 weekends in a year. i almost keeled over right in the store, and not from the dress price tag. just typing this makes my heart race and feel compelled to climb into bed.9/19/2007 08:24:00 PMi got a lovely, shiny new ring on my left finger which means of course, this blog is going to be all bridal, all the time! just kidding. considering the unnerving experience of wedding dress shopping this last weekend, i doubt it.
life is a whirlwind of work, spinning class (i feel like a hamster), weight training (one year to become my dream buff bride), social dance class (i'm marrying my boy for his powerful donkey kick but i'm trying to learn to follow his lead), and college algebra (standard equation of a line).9/19/2007 11:56:00 AM
