How has it that i haven't blogged since July? Well, there was vacation and then lots of shit hitting the fan so time started to fly. I'll do an extended kudos and boos (yes, even though I am a day late) and fill you in on the hip hop haps.
Kudos to Lisa in LA. That's right, Lisa who was doing a six week stint in Los Angeles when she got a job at Immaculate Heart as a substitute teacher, has officially relocated and is the Registrar of IHHS. And she's loving life down there. I was down this weekend to visit and she's living with my St. Charles compadre, Julia in Pasadena and their apartment is ridiculously cute. She sounds just as busy as ever, running all over between school, friends, and just driving in Los Angeles. When I called Lisa on Thursday afternoon on my way down to check in on plans for the weekend, she was telling me that Friday night she had to chaperone a dance, then Saturday she had to have CPR training and then Sunday she had a football game to watch. Well ex-cauuuuuuse me! But, I'll be back down in a couple of weeks so I've asked her to pencil me in. How quickly they forget!
Boos to solo drives to LA. Well, let me set the stage, I left on Thursday afternoon right after work, and while it was a super good idea a couple weeks prior, I was exhausted before I even left the office. And once I got on the freeway, I was greeted with tons of traffic, but I found my groove eventually then I didn't mind it - especially when I was rocking out to my playlist and able to sing at the top of my lungs without judgement.
Kudos to Michael in DC! He is also living the life out there and today he posted on the book that he got an internship with Senator Olympia Snowe. I am not up to date on this lady but that's pretty awesome! I'm hoping to get out there in October to go for a visit but he may be running the place at that point. And here's his blog (now you have two Bonino blogs to follow): http://bbtodc.tumblr.com/ check it out!
Boos to Lady Di's celeb sighting whilest we were in San Clemente. The day that I was leaving to come home, she and Marko were driving me to the airport and this was the very last thing that I said to her: "Mom, you best not see any Real Housewives of Orange County now that I am leaving." So I walked into the airport and went through security and as I was sitting down at the gate, I got a call from my Mom saying, "You will never believe who is at Big Five with me." And low and behold it's Alexis. Buying shoes for her kids. And I was at their airport waiting to fly home. Just my luck!
Kudos to Pool Parties in Downtown LA. This past weekend we also celebrated Sarah and Tom's birthdays in Downtown LA. Sarah turned 30 last week and Tom's birthday was just a few days after so they rented a room at the Marriot and had some friends over for a pool party. It's really the way I am supposed to spend my Saturdays. AND I got to see all of Team Wedding, some who I haven't seen since the actual wedding so that was just an added bonus.
Boos to bidding summer adieu. While the weather will try and fool you (especially in LA since it was friggin hot down there this weekend), we're beyond Labor Day so we're in "fall" but I think we can still sneak in a couple of weekends to layout in there.
Kudos to construction. It seems like it has been going on for forever, but we have the furniture back in the downstairs and things are slowly but surely starting to come together. They're supposed to be done in just a few weeks, which makes Marko extremely happy. And me too so that they'll be out of my bathroom!
Boos to construction. It seems like it has been going on for forever. I'm over it.
And one for the celebrity world...
Kudos to Matthew Perry returning to TV. America really screwed up by not keeping Studio 60 on the air - I think Carly, Kate and I were pretty much the only people who watched that show. So all you other fools really stepped in that.
Boos to some of my fave couples calling it quits, like Adrienne Maloof and Paul Nassif and Amy Poehler and Will Arnett. What's going on Hollywood?! It's almost as if they don't last!
