last thursday afternoon, i left work early. missy (one of my oldest friends - we used to get babysat together) and her sorority sister audrey, who i had never met, arrived around 4 from kansas. they came for a long weekend and we had SO much fun! thursday night, lots of our friends came over for a small dinner party - the slovaceks, stellers, stiles, kris, and sarah. i made cuban chicken and black beans and yellow rice. it was, as always, delicious. i dont really feel like i am bragging because it is mostly out of my control how good it is (the mojo criollo pretty much takes care of that).
friday i <> called in sick to work and we girls dropped jeremy off at work and dr
ove out to pasadena. we went to the rose bowl and shopped at xi. after lunch at in-n-out jeremy dropped us off at nbc studios and we saw a taping of jay leno. i asked for the tickets months ago before the writers' strike and was very happy that jay decided to go back on the air and write his own stuff so that missy and audrey could have the experience. audrey was taking pictures in the lobby where they graciously allowed us to wait (since it was raining) against the rules and almost had her camera confiscated - bad girl!he had an animal guy and a comedienne guy and an idol guy as the guests. my favorite part was blake lewis as the musical guest. he was runner up on american idol last season and his new band is pretty good. jay was funny, the studio was cold, and we were finished in an hour. all the things one would expect. we ate dinner at the italian place muceli's or something. it was delish! after dinner we came home and changed clothes then headed to universal citywalk to howl at the moon (a dueling piano bar). it was SO much fun! everyone who had a birthdya had to go on stage and they would make up a song about the birthday (usually) girl, rhyming their name in the song. often risque, but very funny. they did a medley of fight songs, starting with lsu and changing to whichever school put money in the tip jar. we didnt waste our money to hear the k-state fight song although we (we meaning the three girls, not so much jeremy) did sing it over the ucla song. it was raining when we left (actually it was raining when we got there too) and we tromped through puddles to take the requisite pictures in front of the globe. back at the car, we wrung out our jackets etc and headed home.
