Whisper Lounging

Saturday night, Ingrid headed out to meet up with her friends at Maggiano's to celebrate the engagement of Annie and Jason... friends from law school. I had to recover from what good friends know was a very very stressful and sleepless Friday and Saturday, and camped on the couch for a few hours while she attended dinner. I managed to catch the tail end of the event and saw a good friend of mine and Annie's co-worker, Lisa Blee who was quick to "congratulate" (?!?) me on my pronouncement of love for Ingrid and the general calming of my wild lifestyle.



After dinner, Ingrid, Ingrid's good friend from law school, Christine, the soon-to-be Lams, and I grabbed some drinks at the nearby Whisper Lounge. Darren joined us for the after-dinner festivities and gave us all free tickets to the gun show, or better yet, the derringer show. Lucky us.



We all exchanged stories with subjects ranging from suits, swimming, and salaries to cars, Costco and Christine's thong... don't ask. Of course, with Ingrid around her girlfriends, there was no stopping the gossip about hollywood icons, which Darren, Jason and I thoroughly enjoyed. Good times.



At one point, Ingrid and I tried to blend into the wallpaper, but that didn't work so well. The following day was Easter and after a visit to church, Ingrid and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Venice Beach, my hometown. It was a perfect weekend and made us nostalgic for Brazil. Happy Easter!
