It's August now--can't believe that 4 months have gone by and I've ignored this blog...but...I'm baaaacccckkkk!

Still lovin' LA. Surprise Birthday (Toga theme) party for David. Team Geni took a huge limo to the Magic Castle for another night out of dining and fun. In June we celebrated our first Birthday at a rockin' party. Some of the team headed out for gelato at Charlton's new place one sunny afternoon, Caffe Primo, (mentioned last week on HBO's Entourage)...thanks Charlton--looking forward to dinner or lunch with you once your foot recovers and you are back in LA. On a more serious side, I've been getting established with doctors & dentists--not fun but necessary.

Star sightings (that I can remember): Warren Beaty, Nelly, Michael Jackson's brother, Matthew Perry, Sandra Oh, the cast of General Hospital, the finalists on "So You Think You Can Dance" (saw them last night at Subway Sandwich on Melrose) and Bob Barker.

Those are the highlights.

Now to the present: This week was a busy one for me beginning with a visit from Susan M. who came in to town to do a Marie Callendar's commerical(s). Then another visit to the Magic Castle and a tour of the set of General Hospital with Peter and Kirstin (who also came for an LA visit this week). Thursday had Korean BBQ as a going away party for Juney. Saturday night went to The Groundlings and after theatre had dinner at Cantor's Famous Deli. Mel & Susan surprised me with a visit at The Grove and BBQ dinner today--they were visiting from Monterey--I love unexpected treats like this.

I'm pooped after this busy week and am looking forward to a quiet 3 days in Morro Bay next weekend. Then it's off to Indiana for a genealogy convention.

Puerto Vallarta Update: Construction has begun and I've decided on the marble tile size for the floor. Added some more square footage by adding a third bedroom. Hope to get down there in early December to pick out granite & cabinets. Completion date scheduled for October 2008.

There, my friends, I've brought you semi up-to-date. I'm sure there was more happening but I'll try to keep you posted a little more regularly. Keep me posted with your updates too....ciao for now, J.
