Life is a Bowl of Roses

I went to the Rose Bowl flea market today. I've always wanted to go and it was well worth it however that place is just too big. I was there for 2 an a half hours and didn't even get close to seeing everything. I bought a few cheap vintage dresses however my favorite purchase of the day is this vintage metal bird necklace I got for $15. It is so cool, I love it!

Puppy Love

There was the cutest dog in the world I saw last night. I was getting out of my car after going to the art walk downtown. This dog, without a leash, walks past with one of those surgery cones on his head and a stuffed animal in his mouth. He has a larger sized mutt of a dog and just looked so happy to be walking along that way. His owner was a little bit behind him and I didn't even notice him at first. I imagine that the dog doesn't like to go anywhere without his stuffed toy. Oh god it was cute!

Cinco de Watts

I told you Doug's photos from last weeekend would be better then mine. Here are some of them. Aren't they pretty? I likes them. Okay, I will try and do a word post soon but for now this is turning into a photo blog.

Foos Day

Tonight we had a little birthday dinner at Akasha in Culver City for Amanda. Today is her real birthday but Saturday she is having her party.

Dance Party

How to stand out in photos.
1. Wear a loud bright print
2. look like you have just smelled something bad

Stacey found these on-line from Saturday night. I don't know why I look so unhappy, I had a great time.

LA is a Small World After All

Ugh! I just walked into work tired and groggy this morning to find that my desk is entirely cover with work. Whenever my boss comes in on a Saturday this is what happens. Let me just sip my tea and wake-up a little before I start working on it.

Nice little weekend. On Saturday I went to some thrift stores and then the Beverly Center. In the evening I went dancing at The Echo, well, it was under The Echo and was called something like The Echopex or Club Bootie. Anyways it was a fun time and I danced until I was about ready to drop down with sleep. I slept in on Sunday then Doug picked me up we did brunch and went to The Watts Towers. I've always wanted to see the towers. They are amazing! I took the tour. Seeing work like that just makes me feel like such a lazy person. I started downloading photos on Flickr this morning but didn't finish before I had to leave for work. Anyways some of them are up if you want to take a look. I'll probably just wait for Doug to post his and then steal them to post here. His will be a billon times better then mine. On our way back there was an impromptu stop in China Town for green tea ice cream which lead to an impromptu stop at a Cinco de Mayo festival. It was a very multi cultural Sunday.

Okay, back to this giant stack of work, UGH!

Stop Motion

Last night after spinning I did laps in the pool for awhile. I haven't swam in a really long time. I've been trying out new things at the gym. I realized even though I go a lot I always do the same thing. I have been soar for two weeks now trying out new stuff. I feel like I'm training and preparing for something. I think really it is just that I like to physically exhaust myself so I can't even think.

Last night after I swam I sat in the hot tub. This man in his 60's got in across from me. He kept his head up looking forward but he was extremely crossed eyed. I couldn't tell if he was sitting there starring at me or not. I tried to look away and not take notice but it sort of freaked me out. On my way out I ran into Maureen in the locker room. It was her last night in LA and all her stuff was packed in her car. In the morning she is on her way to road trip around the US and then eventually move into a new place in Athens. My heart pricked with jealousy. I seem to be having that emotion a lot lately of peoples evolving lives, as if I can't do the same and change things about mine.
