The Golden Birthday.

To celebrate Amber's golden birthday...26 on the 26th...we headed west to The Penthouse at the Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica. The birthday girl wore yellow, her signature color, and we had drinks and appetizers at the little hotel overlooking the coast.

Happy Happy, Miss Amber!

Lia's Day of Birth.

For the first time since I met Lia, and perhaps for the second time ever in her life, on February 15th friends gathered together to celebrate her birthday at Dominick's in West Hollywood.

The food was good, the conversation was great, but the party didn't really begin until the gifts were opened:

All together it was a wonderful night, celebrating a wonderful person!

Happy Birthday, Lia!

February, a month in review.

Academy season has kept me pretty busy at work, and has led to me neglecting my blog these past few recaps. So I thought I give you a little recap of the last month.

- The month began with a lovely visit from my mum; we spent a weekend shopping, chatting, and taking in the LA scenery.

- The next week, plagued with some sort of throat infection, was nothing but work, work, work.

- Went to the Image awards on Valentine's day and heard Stevie Wonder play.

- Lia's birthday was the very next day.

- The next week was really hard with the Oscars right around the corner, but I did manage to make it to my very first opera...Othello at the Music Center downtown, and to my own disbelief...I actually like opera, who knew?

- To say that this week at work has been a challenge would be a severe understatement; so much to do so little time, but thankfully not only is tomorrow Friday, but also the end of this slightly tumultuous month. However, aside from work this week was nice...on the 26th I celebrated the 26th birthday of two of my favorite people, Maya & Amber. I spent good times with new friends, and am looking forward to tomorrow's leap day.

The time's going by so quickly lately, I can't believe that a month has past. Hopefully, another won't before I update again.

In case you didn't learn it in kindergarten...
