• Korea isn't so bad in the fall.  For some reason, the chilly weather makes me happy, so I'm not suffering unduly yet.

  I truly HATED booties (not the plural of booty, as in bootylicious, but
  booties as in ankle boots).  I think I still hate them, but as I was
  walking home from church on Sunday, God blessed me for my piousness and
  I glimpsed the cutest pair of booties in the store window of my
  favorite shoe shop. 

  

  Not only are they adorable, but they're comfortable too.  I'm thinking
  of buying the camel colored pair before I leave for America.  Only $36!

  

  Congratulations to a dear childhood/lifelong friend.  What a fun two weeks eh?!

  

  Strolling through Venice

  

  Four beautiful ladies waiting for the oh-so-yummy food at an Italian restaurant (name forgotten) at the Venetian. 

  

  Jummy bread that is not pictured above, but below in Joyce's mouth!

  

  Prior to this delicious meal and what is now known as "THE BEST WEEKEND
  EVER!", I got to spend some wonderful time with two of the three ladies
  pictured above.  At least, I think it was the Thursday before Vegas.

   

  At Sushi Gen in J-town, where we saw the BEST EXHIBITS EVER at MOCA at the Geffen.

  

  So you think this is good?  Well, compared to most of what we saw at
  MOCA, this child's drawing is the Mona frickin Lisa.  Still, it was fun
  to browse what's up and coming in contemporary art, I suppose... 
  Actually, just being able to spend time with Una and Skinny Bones was
  the treat : )

  Afterwards, we headed over to Benjie and Becca's and Gavin's where they graciously provided us with great snacks and BUZZ!

  

  Awww.... Aunt Una with Gavin.

  

  Joyce put together a fabulous accessory ensemble for Mia's big night
  out at the BEST SHOW EVER, including a fabulous orange and white tulle
  veil with "I do" embroidered all over it.

  

  These two beautiful sisters, in a totally unposed photo) graciously
  agreed to buy me a hot dog from Costco, which I had been craving. 
  Thanks guys!  I don't think I remembered to pay you for it, so I owe
  you a buck-fifty in December.

  

  Getting our mani/pedis at Sara's World of Beauty.  I was sitting next
  to Gina while we were getting manicures, and her manicurist kept
  talking about how all these people in her family died.  It was kind of
  a downer. 

  

  But that didn't stop everyone from having a good time.

  

  Especially after Gina let Susan have a sip of her full-glass of wine and got it back 3/4 empty.

  
  Congrats to the Happy couple!  No, Mia did not wear frosted, white lipstick.  Yummy.... McDonald's soft serve....
  
  Mia looks like a startled rabbit, and Tammy looks like she's hugging a canine.

  Speaking of canines...
  
  This is Happy, my cousins' dog.  Isn't he cute?!  He's not the brightest one of the bunch, but for a little yappy dog, he's pretty good-tempered.

  Remember this picture?
  
  Sunset on the Zambezi.

  
  I do believe it took us about 1000 tries.  It didn't help that some of our photographers, while eager and willing to be of service, may have had a wee bit too much to drink.  It's a good thing I shaved my armpits that morning.
