First day back at work from vacation...

Today was my first day back to work from vacation, and I made it a long work day.  Left home at 5:40am, got to work before 6:30am, left work at 6:30pm, and got home at about 7:30pm.  Didn't even have to wear my sunglasses at all since it was dark during those times I was driving.  Fun stuff... 

Beautiful wedding!

We attended such a beautiful wedding in Hawai'i!  It was at the Paul Mitchell Estates.  The cool part?  They had to kick Kobe Bryant out for the wedding.  I will write more about the trip soon (hopefully this weekend)!

Odie and food-filled fun!

Fun times w/ my girl Odessa this wknd.  We've been planning for her visit for the last few months.  Yay for having an office/guest bedroom!  I made two reservations the day before for Friday night and Saturday night.  On Friday evening, she took the train up from SD and arrived at the Union Station at about 9:15pm.  After picking her up, we headed off to mid-Wilshire for dinner at a yummy pasta restaurant.  Then came Saturday.  The three of us headed to Hollywood for crepes for brunch/lunch (where Emmanuell finally met Angel!) followed by going back to Glendale.  Odessa and I hung out at the Americana while Emmanuell was at Mens Wearhouse to get fitted for a tux.  We took advantage of the a/c while exploring.  We encountered Crumbs Cupcakes and decided to try it out.  Once it hit 5, we headed to Gyu-Kaku in Pasadena.  Today was Odessa's last day.  We took a walk to Porto's for breakfast.  After heading back to the apt, Emmanuell stayed in to work on his conference paper while Odessa and I went to meet up w/ Angel and her bf for lunch at Boiling Crab.  As we waited for O's ride back to SD, we ended our last food extravaganza with Cha for Tea.  What a wknd full of food and good company!  Thank you Odessa for coming and staying w/ us!!  =)

Happy 29th to my love!
