The Glory Days and Blogging Friends

You know days when everything fun gets scheduled at once?  That happened to me today. 

I am usually a very low key person and prefer to sit at home watching Say Yes To The Dress and baking, but today I totally had the social life of Paris Hilton circa 2003.  I got up at 5:30AM to run with blogger friends, went to a happy hour with coworkers after work, and then hung out at a roof top pool with some school friends.  I felt like today's activities could finally give my living in Southern California some street cred!


The day started with running with the wonderful skinnyrunner and once upon a lime. I originally met these girls back before I even blogged (they and my friend Christina are kind of the reasons I even started blogging...beyond my wanting to retire a billionaire blogger)  We met up in Newport and I ran about an hour.  My legs still felt heavy but definitely felt better just by running with friends!
It was super cloudy, but let's face it...trails on the beach are pretty cool no matter what the weather is!   Beach trails are one of the things that made me fall in love with Southern California.  

G2 - The breakfast of Champions
After I got back to my car, I drank some G2 that's been sitting in my car for the last week and a half.  Hopefully that doesn't mean I'll get BPA poisoning?!?!?!  It was pretty delicious though so it might be worth it.  

I went to a happy hour after work, but the main thing I want to talk about is not the happy hour, but my coworkers ridiculously adorable puppy that I'm pretty sure is really a live stuffed animal:
This is a normal size purse and a 2 lb puppy



The day finished up at a friend of a friend's pool (soon to be much better friend if he continues having access to pool).  We got some pizza and drank some wine.  Oh yeah...and my girlfriend on the right brought straw hats to celebrate Cinco De Mayo because she didn't have any sombreros.   Close enough???  Farmer De Mayo?

I am going to live right...here....





Here's the rest of the pool area.  I forgot a bathing suit, so I just pushed my jeans up as far as they could go and put my feet in the hot tub.  Still not bad.
Sadly, Charlie told me that I could NOT move in to the top floor of his complex with the pool and that I had to go home.  

So here I am, blogsters...at the end of a long but relaxing day.  It was full of beer, wine, food, socializing, and straw hats.  


Here's MY blogging question for the day...
Have you ever had a super crazy Cinco De Mayo?  If so, I wanna hear about it  =)
  


Also...How long will you leave a plastic bottle in a car (or somewhere else) and still drink out of it?
Is there a time when I should definitely throw bottles / drinks out?  

I'm off to Seattle tomorrow  to see the BF for the weekend !   Buenas Noches!
