odds and ends...

• thanks everyone for a great time tonight...the caspian has renewed my good graces for persian/middle eastern food. yogurtland was also yummy too...sort of funny how obsessed we are with having actual fruit topping when we could just go to the supermarket and buy fruit to eat. =)

• thanks to LISA for the great art from hawaii!! *big hug* you know i heart turtles! =)

• spa day is set for sunday 8.05.07...here's the link to pacific waters. if you let me know by early next week, i'll make the appointments for us in the afternoon. for me, i'm leaning towards the white algae body wrap + vitamin c facial (50 min) BUT i'm also intrigued by the raw earth ritual package (which includes mediterranean mud therapy + raw earth pedicure)...i cannot decide right now

• disneyland is set for 8.19 sunday...hope you guys can come!! disneyland is a lot more fun with people i actually hang out with...my annual passport gets us discounts on food too!! =) nothing like the prospect of saving a whopping 10% on a $10 cheeseburger there...hehe. and gosh darn it, i will ride finding nemo!!!

• later on i'm going to re-post my "restaurants to try" list...places i've never gone to (but maybe you have), that i still need to try...

• for jack & cynthia's engagement party in the park...it says to bring water balloons - but if none of us actually throw water balloons then maybe we don't need to contribute that many. i will bring my camping chair, my picnic blanket...we can bring stuff for us to be occupied - much like the stuff we bought for the bonfire. can you play bocce ball in the park? lol...and i think it's best to come early and leave early, don't you? OR we can grab lunch, arrive fashionably late and then leave relatively early... =) we can go together if you want...i can drive to el dorado park, but i won't lie and say i know exactly where they are talking about nor will i say that there will be plenty of space to park on a saturday. =)

• it's nice to have everyone all together again...minus patrick who was too busy with two-dimensional worlds to hang out with the three dimensional people!! and to albert, have a safe trip driving up north...we always miss you when you're not around =)
