Holiday Weekend

Like many of you, I'm sure, I love three day weekends! This weekend is off to a good start. After work on Friday, I joined some friends for happy hour at the Parlor, followed by dessert at Yogurtland (yum!), and a movie at my place. Nice and relaxing.

Yesterday was my friend Paul's birthday. His girlfriend organized a big dinner at Casablanca, complete with fake mustaches for everyone, followed by drinks in downtown Santa Monica. The restaurant had really good food - though the tortilla appetizers with salsa filled everyone up so by the time the main course came, no one was hungry anymore. There were quite a few of us who were suffering from food comas after the meal! All in all though, it was a fun night with good people.

Tonight, I'm headed to my first MLS game (LA Galaxy vs Seattle Sounders) followed by my first 'official' 4th of July fireworks show in three years, so it should be a good time. Even after all of the World Cup games, I do not understand the game of soccer, but I find it fun to watch. Except when it ends in a tie. Then it's just annoying ;)

Happy 4th of July! Hope everyone is spending the holiday with family and friends, eating plenty of good food, and watching fireworks!
