It's Friday. I'm wiped.

I have been MIA but things have been moving so quickly that I have not had much time or energy to write!

Since my last post, I have:
- Flown to Arizona for one of my best friend’s engagement parties. I’m a bridesmaid!
- Been asked to be a bridesmaid in a different best friend’s wedding—I’m honored!
- Been cooking and entertaining quite a bit: red snapper, creamy tomato sauce, halibut, garlic green beans, more picnic plates…
- Planned trips back to Arizona for Easter weekend, Chi-town in April
- Gone skiing just about an hour and a half outside of Los Angeles to Big Bear. To be honest, the mountain kinda sucked but my snow cravings are satisfied and hopefully I’ll make up to Mammoth before this season is over.
- Gone jogging several times alongside the ocean
- Gotten into a weekly habit of stopping by Peet’s Coffee in Brentwood a few times a week in the morning to pick up a non-fat hazelnut latte before work—such a treat!
- Gotten a new roommate. My old roomie told me she was moving out, I found a new roommate and she moved in—all within one week’s time period. And the new girl is amazing! I have no idea where my roomie luck comes from but somewhere there is a Roommate Fairy who likes me. This is roommate #3 at the Brentwood Chateau.
- Unfortunately had to cancel my wine trip (was supposed to be tomorrow) but now it’s late April; that’s just fine. Instead we’re going to the Getty in Malibu and we’ll be picnicking and sipping wine among art, gardens and ocean views. Not a bad substitute (and it still involves wine).
- Made significant progress with a good friend on a business we are starting.
- Worked insanely long hours at work.

That’s it, for now. It’s Friday. It’s a good day. It’s clear and sunny and bright outside, mid 60s here in Los Angeles but the blue sky makes you want to lie down besides the ocean. It’s a busy day and the office is a symphony of busy fingers tip-tapping across keyboards and phones. We had our usual catered in Friday breakfasts: omelettes and breakfast burritos and yogurt and granola. It’s a busy day at work. Things are unpredictable around here but the morale is high. Tonight I get to come home to a clean apartment, eat delicious leftovers and I may get a drink with a Maryland friend.

It’s a good day.
