LaborDay Weekend

A pretty laid back weekend here - Saturday was spend in Cerritos with family for David's mom's birthday; we all went to see Tropic Thunder and have lunch. Sunday I spent most of the day in Manhattan Beach with Agata and Bill, laying and soaking up the sun until it hid in the clouds and we retreated to The Kettle for beers and food. I spend the other parts of the day working on my Roatan sketchbook, adding some watercolor to my drawings and pasting in things like plane tickets and such.I made it out of an old Beach Boys record album cover, and I love how it turned out. I got so much writing in there, I can't wait to revisit it as soon as I've forgotten a little of the trip and get to enjoy it all over gain.

Monday made me restless in the house and I did a lot of reading. I finished Eat Pray Love and then headed over to Bill Botts park to lay in the grass and finish When You Are Engulfed In Flames. These were both really good books, and share the common themes of internatinal travel, which I suppose made me feel even more restless, even though I just got back from some international travel. David took my blues away by sweeping me to the Arclight to see Hamlet 2 and buying me a box of Milk Duds, most favorite movie going candy ever. I feel pretty relaxed today, and looking at the calander, which has every weekend in September already filled in with plans, I guess it was right that we took it easy this weekend.
