hollywood updates

This hotel room in LA has been my home away from home for almost week now. One more to go and I'm back to my little brick house and a shower that doesn't leak all over the bathroom floor. The weather here has been quite chilly. My dresses and sandals have not left my suitcase.
Went out with the girls to a little bar in hollywood (The Den).  Was hoping to spot Jason Segel as it's one of his haunts. Guess it just wasn't our night.  But the food & drinks were quite good, and the place was quaint and relaxed quite a different atmosphere from the other joints on the strip.

My Mom came to visit us before I left for LA. It was so great to be able to spend some time with her.  We weren't able to see/do as much as we had hoped.  But she was able to help me out with some projects around the house as well as give me some gardening advice.  We took a little trip down to Terrain and I treated her to brunch at their cafe.  It's all farm fresh and so incredibly yummy. I can't wait for an excuse to go back.
