Hollywood Superstar

I have returned! Refreshed, rejuvenated and a celebrity :)

Well, maybe not the last one, yet...but after Friday, December 19, everyone will have seen me as a contestant on Wheel of Fortune and want my autograph...maybe even to be interviewed on Regis and Kelly Live or something :)

An extra week of sabbatical was added on due to the job change fiasco that awaited my return on Monday. Things have been too busy during this transition to come back to The Pink Potpourri, so thank you for your patience during this time!

This week is going to be a bit different...because the trip was so long and so extensive, I will be putting up some pictures from the trip each day and sharing about it! Cameras were NOT allowed in the Sony Studios where Wheel of Fortune is taped, so I won't be able to show you any pics of that, but you'll be able to see for yourself how it went on Friday, December 19th!

I know what you're thinking..."Enough of the blah, blah, blah. Let's see some pictures!" So here ya go...

We arrived in Los Angeles a day early, so we decided to check out some of the local hot spots. Before the sun set, we went to the pier on Venice Beach...

My parents arrived earlier in the week, and had already scoped out some great places to visit and eat. They took us to this little italian outdoor restaurant right down the street from the pier. i could have eaten EVERYTHING. they serve these unlimited mini rolls covered with oil and spices. it was pure goodness.



doesn't this pictures make your mouth water? it was the best combination of spices ever...


since this was an outside dining area, there was this beautiful fountain. we're enjoying our lovely dinner, and all of a sudden we hear this rapid splashing a squaking. a posse of birds had decided it was bathtime! by the time i got my camera out, only one bird was left, but there were about 5 or 6 of these guys flailing their wings everywhere. i'm glad they didn't seat us next to the fountain :)

we also went and did some sight seeing at a few of these locations. we have tons of pictures so i'll put more "detailed" ones up later this week.

And finally, upon returning to our hotel room, we found this gift arrangement from my parents! since they had been there a few days ahead of us for a business trip, they got us these great gifts when they toured Sony Studios!

Well, its great to be back. I can't wait to catch up with all of you!!
