It's nice to be able to park your car anywhere in Long Beach and lay out.
Sand by the street....love it!

Leaving L.A.Good stuff...
Today was a success! The meeting for work was informative and overall enlightening for the best job in the world (that I have). And, most importantly, the San Antonio Spurs are the NBA Champs once again...YEEHAW!! I am so happy to be a Texan right now and I sure plan to boast about that tomorrow at work! : )
That's all I have to say about that.

Under the weather
Around 10 this morning, during the midst of my daily work routines, I started feeling really weak, lightheaded and achy. The rest of the day was a struggle, but I made it through and came home to a long nap. I just woke up to find my honey cleaning the dishes and snacking for dinner. He brought me some water while I was napping, so I can stay hydrated, but a long nap definitely helped tremendously! Tomorrow, I'm going to Beverly Hills for a meeting, so I hope I'm feeling back to myself by then! I just can't wait for my insurance to kick in...I'm in desperate need of new contacts and glasses, not to mention how helpful it'll be to have a primary doctor for days like this!
An unexpectedly wonderful surprise
Today I came home to a couple of packages on my front porch. I had already received the printer my mom had mailed me, so I was really unsure what could be inside these big ol' boxes. As soon as I got inside, I ripped open the mystery packages and found this inside:
(along with a very large memory stick)
I was so shocked, but knew immediately who was behind this, so I phoned Melynda right away and she, of course admitted that she, Brian, Bay, Lindsay, Josh, Carolina, Bertrand and Gladys had conspired to send me this ultimate surprise birthday gift. It's doubly exciting since Guillaume's camera (which had been on the verge of death for months now) had completely died on us a couple of days ago. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect camera (it makes sounds when I push buttons and even plays music while showing slideshows!!!)!!! I'll be sure to share the products of my new treasure after I've taken pictures of everything in sight! That's one thing I can officially cross off my wish list! Thank you!!
And now some pics of the gift-givers...
Love y'all! Thanks again!

Update!! (finally)
So, after Irisa came and went, the Frenchies arrived in LA! We've been hosting them for a couple of weeks now, and it's been a blast, but a little exhausting. Guillaume's dad came first, and he had a really good time, visiting (as tourists might) a couple of museums, Hollywood, Beverly Hills and had a nice little taste of Orange County and Long Beach. He left us with smiles and thank yous and told us more than once he had a really good visit. It was really nice to hear since we're so new at this whole "hosting people in a new city" thing.
Anto, Sev & Baptiste are visiting now and I like to think they're having equally as much fun as Gui's dad had. Since my days off or usually during the week, I've been able to hang out with them and come along on some of their excursions, too. Most notable on our list of places-visited is Venice Beach, which was beautiful and incredibly odd at the same time. It's home to "Muscle Beach," which allowed our eyes the pleasure of witnessing this insanity. Unfortunately, I was only able to snap this bright picture before my eyes couldn't take it any longer.
The city itself is really very nice, with the canals running through neighborhoods much like they do in Venice, Italy. The houses, of course are gorgeous, which brought about repeated oohs and aahs from us as we walked around. It was a little too chilly for us to make it a tanning day, but we enjoyed some grub at a nice sidewalk cafe, took tons of pictures and browsed the racks of clothes on the sidewalk sales along the path. It was a fun day!
The rest of the past week or so has been full of sun - I visited Laguna Beach, which is DEFINITELY all (and more) it's cracked up to be! Guillaume and I have also converted from Astros to Angels fans (sorry mom & Joe) and we had a chance to go to a game while Gui's dad was visiting. It was good time, and the hotdogs and peanuts were the perfect touch!! We've also been keeping busy at our neighborhood bar and played a game of miniature golf just before the french three-musketeers headed out to San Fran for the weekend. They'll be back next week, though, so more pictures and adventures are sure to come! For now, here are a few pics from Venice Beach, hanging out at our place, and the Angels game. Enjoy!
I finally found a fatburger, but didn't stop since we'd already eaten :( We're planning a trip soon, though, so fear not, Can! :)
