We had such a lovely Labor Day weekend.\u00a0 Although we’d originally planned to visit my family in San Jose over the three day weekend – seriously, every phone call home starts with “When are you coming to visit?” nowadays\u00a0–\u00a0T had to work on Monday so we decided to stay in LA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The weekend started off with a good (albeit hot) 8 mile run with the Leggers\u00a0on Saturday.\u00a0 I’m really enjoying the challenge of running with a faster pace group.\u00a0 Then T and I\u00a0headed downtown to grab lunch at Kendall’s<\/a> (we made the mistake of getting their french onion soup – ick) before seeing\u00a0a matinee showing of the musical Spamalot<\/a>.\u00a0 I had been wanting to see it\u00a0for ages and really enjoyed it, especially since we got $20 tickets the day of the showing instead of purchasing $90 tickets beforehand.\u00a0 T, however,\u00a0was a little disappointed because he remembered the source material much better than I did and felt the musical was too repetitive.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, we went to a beach party in Long Beach.\u00a0 The weather was perfect, sunny but not too hot.\u00a0 The party\u00a0was on the peninsula,\u00a0in a protected enclave facing the bay.\u00a0 The water was warm(ish) and peaceful.\u00a0 We brought our canopy and beach chairs and enoyed the day with good food and friends.\u00a0 It was relaxing.<\/p>\n

Sunday night we met up\u00a0with some other\u00a0friends at a houseparty, where we continued to stuff ourselves silly.\u00a0 Fortunately, on Monday, T and I headed to the gym after work and ran off some of the food we’d eaten!<\/p>\n

And on a totally random note, I started using body butter daily years ago, after my littlest sis L pointed out that my skin resembled that of an alligator’s, and have recently\u00a0discovered a new body butter which I love.\u00a0 It’s cheaper than the body butter I usually get from\u00a0The Body Shop, it’s thick and\u00a0creamy, doesn’t feel greasy\u00a0and smells great.\u00a0<\/p>\n
