What a great weekend! My friend M was visiting from New York, so on Friday, we all went to dinner at Il Fornaio in Santa Monica. M was in town to visit her nieces and to see her friend C, who is also currently living in New York, performing at a Jazz show.\u00a0 Funny story about C – I had met her on\u00a0a flight to NY (I was visiting, she was moving there), we started chatting, realized we had friends in common, and I introduced her to M. She and M have been good friends ever since!<\/p>\n

Saturday, I went for a nice 8 mile rule with the Leggers, introduced M to the wonders of Green Monster Smoothies<\/a>, had crepes at our local farmer’s market, and made pumpkin cookies for a Halloween party later that night.\u00a0 We didn’t leave for the party until 7pm, so T and I waited around for trick-or -treaters.\u00a0 Aside from our adorable neighbor, we didn’t get a single trick-or-treater in our condo complex, so T took matters into his own hands and took Alfie (semi-decked out for Halloween) and the candy out to hunt them down.\u00a0 I think having the dog made it less creepy.\u00a0 =)<\/p>\n

After T got rid of most of the candy, we headed off\u00a0to\u00a0the Halloween party, thrown by T’s\u00a0friends.\u00a0 They love to cook and have an amazing kitchen, so they threw a pizza-making party.\u00a0It was awesome!\u00a0They prepared the dough and tons of toppings and we each got to make personal pizzas.\u00a0 What a brilliant idea!\u00a0 We stayed too late eating, playing Taboo and beer pong, and karaoking with the Magic Mic.<\/p>\n

Sunday, T had a softball game, then we took M to In-N-Out where\u00a0we introduced her to animal style fries<\/a>.\u00a0 We topped the weekend off with Cirque du Soleil’s new show in Santa Monica, Kooza<\/a>.\u00a0 It was an amazing show, but I have to admit, now that I’ve seen several shows, Cirque’s lost a bit of its magic.\u00a0 I think Quidam, the first one I ever saw, will always be my favorite.<\/p>\n

Oh, and in between it all, I devoured the\u00a0recently-released\u00a0and eagerly-awaited twelfth book<\/a> in the Wheel of Time series, which I think\u00a0officially makes me a nerdy 12 year old boy.\u00a0 =)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
