SoCal Summer

SoCal Summer

posted in Friends, Family, Et Al., Lawyering and the Like, Life in LA |

I’m feeling human again.  After a crazy week, SP told me to take off insanely early on Friday (I got orders to leave at 11am, although I stuck around until 3pm) and not to work this weekend because she was worried I was stretching myself too thin and was too much of a trooper to tell her.  She then called my office five minutes later to tell me, in case she hadn’t made it embarrassingly clear during the team meeting, that I had done a fantastic job.  JP ran into my Roomie at the office this weekend and informed her she’s in charge of making sure I didn’t sneak into the office against orders.  I really love these people.  =) 

Slept the sleep of the dead most of the day Friday.  Spent Saturday at a block party in Manhanttan Beach within a few feet of the beach.  The block party was the quintessential SoCal summer experience.  A great reggae band, an abundance of beer, plenty of sunshine and fantastic friends.*  I was not nearly cool enough to be there.  Luckily, I was shielded by super-cool friends, kept my sunglasses on, mumbled that I did “law stuff,” and smiled enough to fool everyone.  =)  For all that I complain about SoCal, it has its good points.  Saturday was definitely one of them.  Thanks all!**

*G, since KQ, KA, ML and I were all there and you were not, we’ve assigned KQ the task of harrassing you to (a) post more and (b) organize our dinner.  There is to be much finger shaking and general nagging until these two tasks are accomplished.

**I realize this post is sadly lacking in sharp, satirical comments and for that I apologize.  I’m feeling much too relaxed and rested to post anything but warm and fuzzies today.  *Hugs all around*

    Glad I got to hang out with you yesterday, even for just a little bit. Must do it again without the loud reggae music!
