We went to my Talent Agency Party in a great little bar in Hollywood….we felt so fancy getting all dolled up and going out on the town. I love visiting with the owner of Alvarado Rey, Nikkolas, he is such a great guy. It was also fun to meet some of the other talent that I have to compete against…no scratch that…I mean, it was fun to meet the other talented actresses in my agency circle.
We had fun taking Hollywood by storm…
But, being fabulous is very hard work (note sarcasm), it tired us out…
We actually ended the evening early to go get burgers and fries from the closest “In and Out”. YUM
The couple that owns the company that Lonney works for, held his Christmas party at their new home. I was a bit stressed, as we all had to bring a dish to share and there was a competition for the best homemade contribution. Most of the employees who work for California Green Designs are Persian or Egyptian, and they cook really, really, really, yummy food, so I knew I was out that competition before I even decided what I was going to make. I took a pretty easy out and made a simple creamed corn dish and two pumpkin pies. The evening started out smoothly, well…because the party was only a few blocks away, so it was a quick little drive over to the event. But, once we got there, I grabbed my carefully, oh so carefully, prepared pies out of the car and headed into the house. On the way, one of Lonney’s co-workers accidentally bumped my arm and down, I mean face down, on the gravel driveway, went one of the pies. I was devastated. Then, a few seconds later, another one of his co-workers pulled up and ran over my pie, giving it a proper burial. So, we laughed, because that’s about all we could do. As predicted, I didn’t win a prize for my cooking, but I did win the prize for the best dressed! $50.00! I don’t know if everyone felt sorry for me and my pie, or if it was because I looked pretty festive (ridiculously festive), regardless of the reason, I accepted the award and bragged about it all the way home. I guess the voting was pretty close between Lonney and I for the prize….but it doesn’t matter if you win by 1 or 20, it just matters that you win, right?
