I'm going to copy [livejournal.com profile] futureboy's style and do a little "Weekend in review" thing with highlights & lowlights.


Highlights
  • My mom (MotherOfKittens) came to visit!
    + I love my mom!!!!!
    + She cooked us dinner every night
    + She bought tons of groceries for later at Whole Foods
    + We ran around all over and did fun things (see below)
    - She is staying in Encino tonight instead of here and I miss her

  • More things we did with my mom:
    + We saw Waitress
    + We went to the Norton Simon Museum, which was absolutely amazing!
    + After the museum, we wandered around Old Town Pasadena
    - Old Town Pasadena has become very gentrified

  • Corporate Event today at Will Rogers State Park (on the beach)
    - Had to miss my friend's baby shower to go
    + It was a lot of fun and everyone loved my mom (as they always do)
    + I really do like my co-workers
    ++++ I WENT SWIMMING IN THE OCEAN!!! Holy shit, that was so great!!!! Why don't I go to the beach more often?
    + Did I mention I went swimming in the ocean?
    - The ocean slapped me in the face and I drank a bunch of sea water. :)
    - I somehow got sunburned (even though I always wear sunscreen)

  • BBQ in Encino
    + Best grilled vegetable salad ever
    + BBQ was actually much better than I'd expected it would be
    + Swam in their pool
    - Had to leave my mom in Encino


    That is all! :)
  • Yay! First!

    Oh man. My brief experience with Pasadena (walking distance from and including parts of Old Town) included the exchange:

    Me: *double-take* Wait... was that woman dusting the outside of her house?!?!?
    Person-I-was-visiting: Yes. Just keep walking.

    I guess it's been about 3 years since I was last there, and I just hadn't remembered how... yuppie... it is. :)

    I've been to Old Town Pasadena. My friend used to live close. Don't they have a farmer's market?

    I envy you and your ocean. =o)

    It was a lovely swim. My hair then puffed out to 3x its normal size! :):)

    The Norton Simon Museum is one of my favorite places in the world. It is so well put together. It feels intimate, even though I am there with a bunch of strangers. I am glad you had a nice weekend!

    I'd never been there before and was SO impressed. The collection is like 30 times better than the Getty's! And you're right - it does feel cozy!

    I should post a pic of us from the beach party! Where you can see me turning into a lobster before everyone's very eyes! :)

    It all sounds wonderful! (And so does your Mom!)

    Well, if I actually move into That House, it's within walking distance of the Norton Simon. I am not shitting you.

    My mom rocks! :) I am eating the food she cooked for me right now as I type this! :)

    And wow, that's great!!! I hope it works out, because that is really a very lovely area.

    P.S. If you go to the Pasadena animal shelter to get new kitties, can I come with you?
