It's been a busy August so far and lots more fun to be had before month's end!
Last weekend, Alove (Ashley) was in town from Manhattan Beach so we headed our for sushi and cocktails. :) I faced my food poisoning fear with the sushi at the same place I'm pretty sure got me sick. Thankfully, the weekend was poison-free.... ;)
Last weekend, some of my girl friends and I got together to celebrate Ashley's 30th birthday! She wrote a great recap on her blog, but we went to Melting Pot for dinner, had a little slumber party (and lots of wine), and woke up and hit the pool! Love these girls and so glad to be able to get together and celebrate! Plus, the guys never like Melting Pot b/c it takes entirely too long for their impatient stomachs, so us ladies were happy to enjoy a nice, leisurely dinner together- filling the night with laughs, inappropriate stories, photos, cocktails, and of course...fondue! Today (Sunday) is Ashley's actual 30th, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ASHLEY!!!!
| As for the middle pool photo... Jenny said "Let's throw up a gangsta sign. " I said "At your suburban neighborhood pool...as 30 year old women? We're so thug..haha..." |

Speaking of TU, the 2012-2013 board had the changing of the guard last week. I've served on the board for 2 years and absolutely love being involved. Hands down my favorite volunteer experience. Feels good to be involved at my alma mater I still hold so dear to my heart. :) We welcomed some great new members, including my friend, Jayme (seated beside me)! :)
Hung out with these lovely ladies on our friend's balcony downtown. Baseball game going on behind us in the distance. :)

Annnnnd I have to mention the sweet package I got last week! I went to the mail mid-week and saw that I had a package with Jersey Girl the movie enclosed, along with the sweetest card from Jennifer over at Crazy Shenanigans! SO thoughtful and totally made my day! You see, there's a running joke between Eric and my friends about how very few "classic" movies I've seen. I have no idea if I was just under a rock or what.. but they've actually started a list. It includes things like Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club, Cocktail (I haven't seen any of them. I know. Embarassing). Anyway, Jennifer regularly posts about classic, fun movies and I always comment about my lack of knowledge..haha.. :)
Jennifer, you ROCK for sending this thoughtful gift and I can't wait to watch it sometime this week!
Hope you're doing well out there in blogland, friends!
