My friend Dawn.



How can I describe my friend Dawn to all of you? She's a beautiful, extremely intelligent super traveler who has been one of my best friends for 12 years now. Dawn has the ability to be surprising at all turns...Just when I think she might kick my ass, she hugs me. If you ever want to know any secrets about me - Dawn knows them but she'll never ever tell you. She's fiercely loyal, wonderfully funny and has this beautiful singing voice -but you have to be in the inner circle to hear it. I am so lucky to have her in my life...and I know I can always be myself around her. I also know NOT to mess with her...'cause she really will kick my ass.

She is also such a wonderful friend that she flew all the way out to LA to see me on my birthday! By far the most "social" trip we've ever had. She has been out to visit me 3 other times, but the first time was spent sightseeing, the second we went from San Diego, stopped in LA and then onto San Francisco (you can view that visit on this blog in fact) and this time we were surrounded by my lovely peeps the whole time. It was fantastic and by far the least amount of sleep I've had in quite some time.

Happy Birthday Natalie...

My friend Natalie plays in a salsa band called "La Picante" and the night of her birthday I joined them at "Monsoon" in Santa Monica. Hmm that's kind of a boring start to this post...but the night was faaaar from boring. The band is really tight and Natalie sounded and looked amazing - talented girl that one. I must admit I wasn't in much of a dancing mood - but it was quite flattering that shortly after Melina and I sat down men were coming over...Ah yes, we all know I like the attention.
Hal and I decided that a birthday dance for natalie was in order - and if you have seen Hal dance - you know it's very distracting and seeing as it's lead by his belly - pretty funny.



It was so nice to see all you lovely people!!!
