Malibu, baby yeah!!

So this is really late, but I figured I might as well try and keep my little events in order. Sort of. This little girls' weekend happened at the end of August. My girlfriend Shar invited me, Abby and Shauna to stay with her at her "Grammy's" house who lives in Malibu. We felt really cool, because this was in the same neighborhood as stars like Minnie Driver and Pamela Anderson (I got a glimpse of Pammy at the very end of the trip-I was so thrilled!) And just across the cliff we could see Barbara Streisand's mansion. We walked down to a private beach every day and we saw....you'll never guess......Matthew McConaughey very up close! We walked (slowly) past him and got a good look at him playing with his two dogs. Shauna was especially thrilled because she touched one of his dogs. Also, I was not at the beach yet when my friends saw Luke Wilson so I was really bummed.

The highlight of our weekend was when we went to dinner at this really awesome/expensive Steakhouse in Beverly Hills called "Mastro's." Abby's brother-in-law is the general manager, so she made the reservations, and they were extra nice to us....they even comped our meal! Also, while we were there, the manager came and talked to us and pointed out what celebrities were there, and also told us who had been there recently. He quietly showed us that Kareem Abdul Jabbar was just a few tables away, and told us that "Puddy" from Seinfeld was there too. Chevy Chase had been in recently, and the night before, David and Victoria Beckham had been there with their kids!! I was so sad we didn't get to see them- Johnny can't believe that I actually get excited at the thought of seeing celebs; he thinks I'm really silly!

There were definite drama-filled moments; our car broke down and we had to stay longer than planned which didn't really disturb mine and Gretel's schedule (she was there with me) but it messed up everyone else's.

But we had so much fun at night when the babies were asleep-we would just talk and laugh while eating Snickers ice cream bars...and howl with laughter some more. My favorite line of the trip that we kept repeating more loudly and obnoxiously each time was, "It's a beautiful night..." "WE SMELL LIKE PIZZA!!!"

I just wanted to quickly journal all the good/funny parts of the trip before I forgot them. I don't have pictures because I didn't bring my camera, but maybe I'll add some later if I get a few from my friends!
