Wow. Since I posted last I was on my way to see Lizzie, and here I am sitting in LJ's room in her family's house. From LA to Redlands highland, these past 6 six have been crazy/fun/hectic/hilarious and all of the above!
Friday I met up with Liz, stayed in her apartment, went out to dinner to PF Chang's with four of her close girlfriends, and went and saw He's Just Not that Into You (for the second time!) I met her 3 roommates and slept on a surprisingly comfy blowup mattress in her room. Saturday morning we woke up relatively early and the two of us and her friend Gillian went on a hike in Beverly Hills. I took lots of pictures (coming later) and we definitely worked up a sweat! After that we went to Toast, a really delicious breakfast/lunch place and had a kind of 'brunch' before we had to head back so I could shower before picking up the parents at LAX. Parents got in at 245pm, I was there closer to 315 (LA traffic stresses me out like nothing else in the WORLD... I get so grumpy and I hate it!!) I was excited to see them but more excited to hand over the drivers seat to Dad, haha. We arrived to the BH Four Seasons and got settled into our room. We went downstairs to do a little looking around and had some drinks (in my case a diet coke) and some late afternoon appetizers. That night we met Lizzie for dinner at the Ivy. Before we even sat down we ran into reporters trying to interview Warren Gene? apparently he's a rapper but I was unfamiliar.
Dinner was SO good. I had the crab and mussels and they were delicious and Liz's salmon was to die for. We also got a round of margaritas with a Russian waiter who didn't card... yay! After dinner we went to the Beverly Hills hotel where they were hosting the Oscars pre-party (Liz and I attempted, but failed to get in downstairs HA) Security was crazy! There were men in suits everywhere with little walky-talky's and ear pieces. We were disappointed that we didn't get to see Jennifer Aniston BUT we did get to hang out in the bar/lounge at the Vanity Fair party... there were gorgeous exotic women everywhere! We said goodbye to Liz and got a cab back to our hotel.
Sunday we went shopping down Rodeo Drive. Mom got meg and I matching Juicy towels and I found a dress for formal!! Its mainly creme with black beading on the bust and a black ribbon that can either be tied in a bow around my back or around my neck. Its from BCBG and I LOVE it. :) We also hit up Lacoste and got Meg a really cute light pink sweater. --also on Sunday the star-sightings began... I'll provide a list shortly.
Sunday night we went to Krustatians... so good! It is a restaurant famous for its fish so we all went the seafood route, I got the best salmon of my life! Omg. And Mom and I split this really yummy coconut cake that was incredible. That night was the Oscars so we ate later, and got to see everything except the Best Actors/Actress. But our waiter did a good job of keeping us updated :) After dinner mom and dad decided to have a drink in our hotel's lounge while I went up to sleep. I was tired of getting ID'ed and cannot wait 14 more months! ANYWAYS, while I was sleeping my parents had quite the time. Mom got a picture with Queen Latifa (I WILL POST IT LATER BUT IT REALLY IS ON MY CAMERA) and met Heath Ledger's family who accepted his Oscar on his behalf. They had drinks with his parents and sister and mom even got to hold the Oscar (she said it was really heavy!) Anyways, there's a picture of mom with the Ledger's as well. NO, I do not know how on earth she does this..
Monday we hit the Santa Monica pier. Mom had never been and it was really fun! We took scenic pictures and walked the boardwalk... I wasn't too hot but it was peaceful. We went to lunch and this (not great) Mexican place and then drove my car near the water and did a little sight seeing. Later Mom and I went and got massages!!! They were so nice, except for when the lady almost gave me a charlie-horse... but it was so relaxing :) :)
That night we were going to go out to dinner but Dad wasn't feeling great so we opted for room service and The Bachelor: The Women Tell All. We also watched Good Will Hunting and then I passed out ;)
Tuesday we had all day until check out at 330. After working out and breakfast, it was cloudy/sunny so we decided to hang by the pool for a few hours. We ate lunch in the sun and people watched. Well, judging by the clouds none of us thought it was vital to wear sunscreen (ps, we didn't have any) and it wasn't by ANY means hot out. BIG MISTAKE. I am fried. Tomato red, feel like I'm radiating heat, changing temperatures, aloe is my best friend, kinda burnt. But I did talk to mom and heard her and dad are struggling as well so GOOD. As long as I'm not suffering alone.
Ok so the star-sightings--- here it goes...
Literally did abs with Tina Fey, Said good morning with Al Roker, Mom shook hands/talked to Mickey Rourke, we had brunch next to the cast&crew of Slumdog Millionaire, partied with the Ledger's? haha... ate with Meredith from the TODAY show, dad talked to the TV host from SlumDog, SAW MARK WALBERG at brunch, I am probably forgetting someone but the list continues... it was crazy star central!!! Mom says she's definitely repeating this trip next year to add some more names to her list!
Break isn't over yet, I'm staying with LJ again tonight and then visiting the Kantor's tomorrow and will be back in Redlands Saturday. I'm having so much fun I don't want it to end!!!
