Little Came to See Me!!

That's right! This past weekend, my good friend Little, drove from her home in Phoenix to visit me for the weekend. She arrived late Thursday evening. Ruth, who I've mentioned before, also arrived back in L.A. that night. The three of us and Jess from next door hung out chatting on my balcony all evening long. We polished off an entire box of Franzia. Oh yeah, we're high class!! I think I ended up getting to bed around 2:30am. I worked on Friday, but just a half day. By the time I arrived home from work, the other girls were ready to rock. We jumped in my car and I showed Little Hollywood Blvd, Beverly Hills, Malibu and we ended in Santa Monica. We walked down to the pier and decided to ride the coaster there. This thing was hilarious! It creeps you up the top of the first hill and then just as you are about to shoot downward, it jerks back and slows down! What kind of rollercoaster does that?? It got a little better towards the end, but stil not great. Since we were all feeling parched from the exciting rollercoaster, we decided to grab some margaritas. After indulging our tastebuds, we headed for home. Of course we left Santa Monica at 5:30...on a Friday. Needless to say it took almost 2 hours to get across town. (although we did stop at the grocery store as well) We made dinner, drank and got ready to hit Jess and my favorite nightclub, The Medusa Lounge.

While dancing our hearts away at Medusa, this guy comes up and tries to flirt with us. Eventually he says something to Little. Anyone want to guess what came out of this little jerk's mouth? Anyone?? He said, "Are you all like the Golden Girls or something?" SERIOUSLY! What was he thinking. As Little said, he probably meant it in the sense, 4 inseperable friends, but he could have said Sex in the City or something! It would have been less offensive than the Golden Girls! Argh, still gets me riled up. I told him, "That was rude. Please walk away." We bored of the scene and texted Jim, Jess's roommate, to see if he'd spin some records for us at home so we could dance. He was game so we went back there and danced until all hours. Jim invited some friends over as well, so it was quite dance party.

Saturday, Little and I spent the day on Melrose Ave shopping. Melrose is a stretch of road in L.A. stacked with great clothing boutiques. It goes on for blocks and blocks. We had a blast and found amazing clothes. I even bought a full length dress, which are all the rage out here and I never thought I would own one. They are more flattering that I would have guessed. We called it around 7 and headed back home to have dinner with Jess and Ruth. While we were gone, they had gone to a car dealership to get Ruth a car. She came home with a Mercedes Kompressor!! This thing is so tight!! We scoped out her new ride and then made a fabulous dinner of Chicken Alfredo, garlic bread and an amazing salad.

Catherine, who I sublet from, sent me an invite to an art gallery event in Culver City. The four of us got dressed up and headed over to check it out. To be honest, it was a bust. The lights were down so low, you couldn't even see the paintings. It was $10, all you could drink so we had our fill and headed back to our neck of the woods. We went to the 4100 Bar, one of my favorite places thus far if not for the cool decor, but for the $3 Pabst, in a can no less! We joked around with some really drunk guys and when the bewitching arrived, headed home.

Little left around 2pm on Sunday and it was warming up nicely in our apartments. Jess spoke with one of her friends whose parents live in Pasadena and she said we could go use their pool. This pool was amazing! It was salt water, which I'd never experienced. We spent the afternoon lounging poolside and then grabbed some mexican takeout and dogged bees. One literally flew up the back of my bathing suit and it almost stung my butt!! Other than the insects, it was the perfect afternoon to close out a perfect weekend.

Until next time...
