man this past weekend wa sa good one. i don't know how it happened but i actually got the weekend off.

friday night there was a party at my friend merediths boyfriends loft in LA. really cool place. it was a new apartment as well as brithday. they are about an hour and ten minutes north of me so i headed out right after work. not gonna lie, i was convinced that my doors would be missing by the time i got back to my car that i had parked in an alley.... it was a little unnerving. i kept going out on the fire escape to make sure my car was still there. it was so great to see meredith. i expect she'll be engaged in no time. and i love her boyfriend mike, he's so wonderful for her. and they are hysterical together. it was so great to see her. we actually stood in the alley for a bit just catching up on life. it's amazing. i live so close and i never see her. i need to be better about that. i blame the martini shaker that i drive.

saturday was a great day off. i went to the gym in the morning and then pretty much slept the remainder of the day. it was fabulous!

sunday, i finally had a sunday off! i got to go to church with sharon and steve and ruth, kevin, kaela, becca, dennis and gloria. really great church service at coast hills community church and then it was such a nice day that we all went sailing. it was incredible. at one point, sharon and ruth and i all sat on the edge dangling our feet in the water and sharon was joking about if we saw a shark and all of a sudden she spots a fin in the water and within seconds we were all in the most uncomfortable position ever trying to get our fee out of the water. imagine sitting on the edge of a chair and then swinging your legs to the right or left to make them equal with your butt. it's not easy. turns out it was a sun fish. pretty funny though. i don't know that i've moved that fast before!

the other bonus pictures are from sharon and steves fish tank. it was a great opportunity to use the underwater camera. pretty cool. those pictures are actually taken from underwater. not bad huh?
