friday's fun was my weekend
Wowie, what a weekend it's been. Actually Friday night is all I needed and the rest of the weekend I've been mastering the art of chilling out.Friday I went down & hung out w/ my awesome brother, Max in Santa Cruz (here's photos!) It was about frickin time, cuz the last time I was down there was last July (!) and the last time we'd hung out up here for any reasonable time was like last August - so it had been too long!!
My bro & I definitely share the same blood in the partyin department. We have the BEST time raging together. Shortly after I got down there on Friday, we checked out his shop (he's gotten a lot more home furnishings since I saw it last - and they look great) and we walked around downtown and next thing we knew we were catching up over some seriously tasty margaritas & chips and salsa. NICE! I insist on drinking top shelf these days, as I've just had too many mediocre margaritas in life - and life is too short for that!! Drink the good stuff!! And so we did. Two grande's later we thought we'd better change scenery as the sun hadn't even gone down yet and we were already headed into happybuzzedland. So we took off & took Scout (his adorable and sweet as can be doggie) to this beach where they allow dogs... !
It was so fun and just incredible to be on the Santa Cruz beaches, those waves are perfect down there!! There were so many surfers, it made me wanna jump in!! Rick (whose a big surfer already) & I will have to go down there in the next couple months. I need to learn how to surf California style (I've only gone one time, the day I learned in Maui, where the water is dreamy warm). Seeing those waves totally got me psyched on it. (see video (CRAP! some bad sound thing happened on export) of me having this discovery)
The rest of the night is somewhat of a blur ;) which goes without saying, we had a helluva good time. His roomate/biz partner Kyle is awesome too and hung out with us for awhile. First we hung out at some guy's house - and then went to The Red Room for awhile - and then headed over to some chic's party - which we have a feeling really wasn't a party till we got there. :) hahaa It was Michelle's place, who is a cutie - and her friend Claire - Claire and I hit it off bigtime and giggled the night away. She is leaving on a trip to Bali for 2 months and I think I promised her a zillion times I'd go & visit her there. Sounds good to me - Rick, you in? :)
So Friday night was an absolute blast, but I didn't get as much done on Saturday as I'd planned - go figure. I didn't get back to SF again till later in the afternoon, and after cleaning up a little and doing some things around here, I zonked out and slept right through my friend Jem's bday party! Darnit!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEM!!!!
Today's been a sleepy day, too. Even though I got a good 11 hours of sleep, I swear I coulda slept 4 more - I was wiped out!!
This week's going to be crazy busy with work, and we even have a few great shows to hit - woohoo!! I'm way psyched for Rick to get back. My concert/party/snuggle buddy will have returned full force!! woohoo! :) And I can't wait to hear about all his stories from hitting Belfast, Ireland! From the email I got today it sounds like they had an amazing time.
