LA trip
so i finally went to see irene's new house after she's already been married for a year and a half! it was a really great hanging out with her and jimmy. and to meet her kids! - her pekingese named skippy and her shiatsu named gizmo. i really want a doggy now...hunny's bro stanley might get a yorkie since his friends dogs had puppies.
i was also able to meet up with sab, steve and rita as well as hunny's cousin amy and friend sonya. i haven't seen some people in over a year. steve hasn't changed a bit and is still his cool self. it was a fun filled three days. when we were not eating (killer shrimp, sushi in Pasadena, Versailles, and awesome brazilian at tropicalia in los feliz). during the day while people were working, we went rollerblading along santa monica beach - ah i miss that beach. we sat looking at the waves for a while but it got too cold and we didn't bring sweaters. thursday we went down to long beach to visit cmu friend rita (weedawee). she is living in condo overlooking the beach. gorgeous! who knew that the price of condos would be almost double, depending on your view. her parents made the investment and purchased a few condo's years ago. i really would like to get more into real estate investing eventually so that i can have additional income coming in when i'm old and gray. anyhow, while in longbeach we ate at a mediterranean restaurant where i had a beef shwarma pita and shared some lamb kabobs. we then made our stop to coffeebean so i could try the blueberry and pomegranate tea and ice blended drink. i already had my black forest fix the day before (ice blended mocha with ground espresso beans and cherries).
i'm chubby! i spent the last few days working off the added weight at the gym. these days i'm pumping up the weights and trying to turn them into combined cardio workouts by going a lot faster and having really short breaks. doing circuit training and alternating machines. i like it since i don't really like sitting and waiting around resting. plus i feel like i get a better work out.
here are some pics of the weekend!

WTF is a "ground espresso bean"? Is that like a scrambled omelette egg?
diana - yes you should totally try renting one. it's really fun! and don't worry, you won't crash because you would naturally lean back to avoid a crash, therefore the segway would stop when you lean back.
swag - not it's not like scrambled egg. the drink is an ice blended drink and when they do the blending, they also add whole espresso beans to the blender. the beans are not ground all the way and so you get small bits of espresso beans in each sip. if you like chocolate covered espresso beans, you would like it.
the segway video is hilarious. Did you try going full speed??
You guys did a lot of stuff in the few whirlwind days you were down here! I'm sorry I didn't get to smush myself in with your plans. :)
hydride- yes we tried going full speed, but a lot of the sidewalks were detoured due to the long beach grand prix so we didn't have a lot of runway.
cindy - yes i'm so sorry we missed you! next time i'll try to give earlier notice. :)
