Scenes From A (Rainy) Weekend

Who says it never rains in Southern California?  Well I’ll tell you what… It’s been comin’ down this weekend.  And I love every single second of it. With just a smattering of these kinds of days here in LA, I’ll take what I can get.  There’s just something so soothing about this weather. Below, a few pix from my relaxing, lazy, rainy weekend:

Rain Boots.  Finally.

My friend’s birthday dinner at Superba Snack Bar in Venice.

Saturday morning LA Flower Market jaunt.  Sigh.  Gorgeousness everywhere.

The best birthday party idea, ever: A grilled cheese and beer party at Andrew’s Cheese Shop.  Five different grilled cheese sandwiches, five different beer pairings. “Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”  Or is it?

Well look who the cat dragged in…  My little brother, in LA for the next couple weeks.

Have a great week everyone!

Ahhhh… Labor Day Weekend…

How was everyone’s?!  What’d you do?
Mine was spent reading, a lot.  An upcoming post is gonna shed some light on all the books, good and bad, I’ve checked out this summer.
And I beached it.  Every day. The water is suuuper warm for the Pacific, I mean not Florida bathwaterwarmwhichItendtoprefer, but warm.  Best believe yours truly was taking advantage of that.
And of course there was the eating, sleeping in, much cuddling, much movie-watching, and of course some shopping.  Some pix from my Instagram this weekend (covetlivingkarrie):
