Bloggin It Up!

My weekend is over and it is now Monday, which comes right after Sunday...so you must know how I feel about that ;). The weekend was good though. Friday night after work Quinn and I went down to Sonny McLeans's pub. It's in the neighborhood, has a good vibe, and was not too crowded, so we liked that! We each had 2 beers, went home and then pretty much straight to bed. Saturday morning we went to check out the gym. We are Bally's members, and have been going to the studio city location or the one downtown in the macy's center. I've been excited to check out this Bally's on the westside ever since I knew I was going to move. I don't think I was ever before so excited to work out! The gym is big, very industrial-looking, with many levels, black and silver everywhere. It also has a big pool, if I ever decide to do the swim-workouts (don't count on it). I wish I owned a Pre-Cor. I would be in super-shape. I actually really like working out on the pre-cor, it's geting to the gym that is the hardest part for me. Then again, if I had one in my room, I'd probably say "it's getting on the machine that's the hardest part." Anyway, the workout was tough, I felt so slow and out of it. But I went again on Sunday and I actually felt better. I can't believe this blog is all about my work-out so far. So to finish up telling you about my weekend....Saturday late afternoon, quinn and I went over to Shannon's place. We caught up on all the tivo'd programs....seconds from disaster, laguna beach, so you think you can dance . I can't believe I'm watching these awesome shows. I drove us home afterwards, at 11:30 on a Saturday night on Sunset blvd. What a treat that was, getting to see all of the people out on a Saturday night on the strip! I'm actually not serious, if you thought for a second that I really thought that was a treat! :) I did see Theo from one of the road rules cast in the car next to me though. I think I've seen more people from the real world/road rules than any other celebrities since I've been in LA. They are everywhere and always together, too. It's like they had so much fun in high school that they try to live in it everyday. So weird....I don't understand their "fame." They didn't do anything special...america just watched a breif part of their lives on tv. And not a very REAL part of their lives either. Yesterday, I went to the gym and layed by the pool with Season and Quinn. We walked down to the coffee bean and I got a chocolate summer blended drink. We also went to Mrs. Fields where I had a chocolate chip cookie cup! It was amazing...and I'm not sure it's good that this shop is within walking distance of my apartment either. We tried to watch The Aviator last night before bed, but didn't make it all the way through. Maybe tonight, we will watch the 2nd half. This is the 3rd time I've tried to watch this movie. Is or has anyone else had trouble watchig this film?

The photo posted here is of my sisters, Candace and Ginger, with their other halfs, Mike and Eric. Front seat: Mike and Ginger, back seat: Candace and Eric. Ginger emailed me some pictures from her trip this past weekend. If you didn't already know, Candace and Eric, and Ginger live in Houston. Mike is in the military and he is currently stationed in VA, but is about to leave for duty somewhere that I'm not exactly sure about. Mike is visiting Ginger in Houston right now, so they took a weekend trip to San Antonio, and I believe that picture is a before picture. Because if you could see the other ones, it appears as though they might have gone out on the town ....the "after" pictures don't include too many smiles. ;) One in particular of Candace says it all! Speaking of family, I also chatted briefly with Daph yesterday. She was in Delaware, still on her way to NYC. I'm sure she is there now and probably all moved in, too. I'll update within week. No word from pops about his job opportunity in LA yet. He says he is most probably going to know something this week though.

I start house/dog sitting tomorrow for my co-worker, Roxanne. She sent me an email with all of the details that I'll need to know and be responsible for while she's away. It was a bit overwhelming to be honest, but I'm sure I'll be fine. I just hope the dogs are OK! Henry and Lulu are Briards. They are big dogs, 8 and 10 years old. the older one, Henry is blind and diabetic. He's got so many medications and has to be given insulin shots twice a day...poor guy! Their life expectancy rate is 10-12 years, so I'm a bit worried for Henry. I just hope nothing awful happens while his mom is away, for all our sakes. Her house is in the hills, off Laurel Canyon and Lookout mountain. The house is older and really unique, so it will be fun to stay..and I'll get a chance to do my laundry, too! But I will miss my bed and my own things, as I always do when I'm away. I've just been asked again this morning to house/dog sit again for her at the end of the month. I've posted a picture of what they look like for those that are curious.

Well that is going to be the end of my blog for now...I may be back later with more exciting info or I may not ;) I know everyone is waiting because my life is so interesting... Hope everyone is good!
