My friends and I have been planning a special booze and games night for a while now… I’d say it went off rather well. 😉 Hula hoop gladiator softball twister jenga. And some bevies. :) Bahahaha. Our cab ride home was ridiculous…the driver had no clue how to drive the 20 blocks from one part of West LA to our apartment and was asking us for directions. Not good. Sunday morning I had this beauty waiting for me And now the weekend is over…sad.
Saturday was packed for me. I woke up early, went for a quick 2 mile jog, showered, caffeinated my face, and hit the road. Off to Glendale! Both my cousin and aunt are preggo. It’s really cool. This is the first child for my aunt and uncle and I’m pretty excited to be getting a new cousin. I only have two cousins, so getting a third is a big deal.

I just read this article and I think it’s fantastic. Tal Ronnen is a chef, dubbed “the best vegan chef in America” by Oprah. And let’s be real, she knows America. He also catered Ellen’s wedding.
