Down The Rabbit Hole

Our weekend was very nice, pretty mellow, which is good because we have a very busy week ahead of us.

Friday we went down to Manhattan Beach to have dinner with our friends Cooper and Alicia and see their new place. It’s great, about two blocks from the beach, and another two blocks from a street with lots of great little restaurants. We ate at a place called Bora Bora, and Alicia and I indulged the carnivores within and split a rack of Baby Back Ribs. Num.

Saturday I got my hair cut and, for the first time in years, professionally colored. I always do a pretty good job of coloring my own hair, but it just looks so much better when I have my stylist do it. Saturday night we went to Hawk’s office Christmas party, which was full of people to whom I have nothing to say. We stayed for a drink and a half and then went to a tiny gallery in West LA where Hawk’s brother Jeremy was exhibiting some of his new pieces, which are awesome. We actually bought one (scroll down on this page and it’s the one called Papillon). I feel so cultured that I’m actually buying art, even if it is from my brother in law.

Sunday we got our Christmas tree and put up the lights on the outside of our house. It looks really nice, very festive! Our tree is beautiful, even though we didn’t put any of our pretty, shiny, very breakable ornaments on it, in deference to the two small projectiles named Jethro and Millie that currently inhabit our house. Last night we lit a fire in the fireplace and watched An Inconvenient Truth, which scared the crap out of me and made me run and turn off all the lights in rooms that we weren’t in.
