Haven't updated forever! But things have been going fantastic :)

Right now, I just came back from a nice week trip to Rochester to visit my nephew/godson who just turned one!

He'll thank auntie Joni someday for taking these funky pictures

So cute!

I'm the babysitter extraordinaire!

With the family :)

I'm still on the beach. But last week, I got to meet with Char for lunch in downtown LA. Then I worked for a few days in the valley to help Tim out in the Amgen project. I got to stay in the sweet Four Seasons Resort in Westlake Village :)

Then yesterday, I got to hang out with my previous Kaiser team this weekend since Roxy came to visit from SF.

Went to Riley's in Belmont Shores in LB then chilled in Tim's nice apartment. :) It was so great to see Qscar and Rox again :)

Then Roxy slept over and we got to watch 300 again (I've watched it for the nth time)...whew..smoking hot!!

One discovery though...Xerxes is Rodrigo Santoro!!!!!

It was great that Roxy was able to hang out for a few days :). Always fun! I'll miss you when you leave for London!!! :( Aussie Aussie Aussie! :)

Happy Easter everyone! :)

Nice little roll-off dinner at Nola's. :)

Guy who's name I forgot plus this random chick who showed off her ass waaaayyy too much during the night

Cute Morgan :) Notice she's trying to hide behind me hehe :P

Kansas!!!!!! :)

The next day had lunch with the Sales Operations people. Then proceeded the awkward afternoon, reminiscent of high school kids asking their friends to give you their numbers. Overall, I am going to miss the wonderful people, the city..eh not so much :P

********

The next day had QSM at Hyatt Century City where I saw a famous TV star (at least famous in my book). Apparently I'm the only one who recognized him when I proceeded to shout "OMG, it's Jack Bauer's dad!" And he turned to me and chuckled. Oh man, so awesome! :)

The rest of the weekend ...had a few bday surprises for Fabien

...Booked an introductory flight lesson :) (Thanks Rosie and Mary!) ..

One hour simulator before the real thing

Fabien about the shit in his pants

Me laughing at the back :)

Nice views :)

Then to balance it out, booked two nights at the Hyatt Resort and Spa. And scored a nice little suite in the process...thank you consulting skills!

Then got waterfront seats at the Villa Nova restaurant in Newport (have to book a month in advance to get them..jeez)

After that, I just now got home from getting my four wisdom teeth pulled. My cheeks are already normally big so you can only tell slightly. hehe! Here's to being on the beach and enjoying it while it lasts!

More pictures from Steven...

The girls waiting for the car to be jumped :)

Me and Sultry Sabita..so jealous of that sexy tan!

Steven's picture of the darker side of the night...piss drunk

St Patty's week started with some sushi and bar hopping in Palo Alto with 3 awesome people!

Then off to Boston for St Patty's weekend :)

We explored the city, went to the Cheers bar, ate lovely seafood, survived the winter storm, bowled in Lucky Strikes, started off the dance floor in a club, visited Harvard and other cool places, partied up on St Patty's night, waited one hour for a cab, watched the parade, and ended the trip with a delaaaaayed trip out of NYC. I LOVE BOSTON! :)

Lovely 20 degree weather

These two were pretty much working it all night

Fire + Ice...YUMMY

Miranda, Esther, and Lenah...all the boys would probably loooove to be in the middle of this picture

HOT Alice

Poor Shine..was on the couch in the club all night!

Ashleeeee...the most Irish non-Irish girl out there!

St Pattys week 023

The Cali crew wondering why we're all in 20 degree weather.

Picture from the St. Patty's Day parade..took a picture of the marines just for Esther

Then to top the week off, dragged some of the Deloitte peeps to a night in SF.

Went to this yummy Italian place called Fino and then rocked it out at the Starlight. Quite a memorable night since we had a dead car battery at 1am ( I forgot to turn something off!) AND got pulled over by cops for speeding at 2am (thank god Sabita still had her Canadian license...we got off the hook). Other than that, I hung out with Effrem, Fabien's freshman roommie who is now dating one of my favorite girls in Deloitte (wtf huh!). Much FUN hanging out with the crew...it was all worth it!

At Fino with the people in my cool car :)

One of my favorite gals in Deloitte! I heart Morgan!

The sober picture (FYI, Starlight has the yummiest drinks)

Eh not so much..and the guy taking the picture cut out Rosie's crew

Morgan and Effrem...haha..I haven't seen this guy since Freshman year..who knew that 6 years later, he'll be dating one of my awesome Deloitte girls!

More of the crew!

Guess what song Steven is singing ...HA HA

And this is the first casualty of the night taken while we were waiting for AAA to come jump the car

FYI, one of the things I learned from all this...I was trying to save Randy from a creepy guy by saying "Wtf man. What are you doing with my gf!" WORST backlash EVER if you're trying to keep a guy away.

Nephew just headed back to Rochester with my brother and Miia. He'll grow up to be the biggest player ever! Everywhere we go...all the little girls start flocking towards him
