it just keeps on coming...the fun, that is.

i can't seem to keep up the blog posting with the amount of fun i've been having over here. last week was non-stop, so this week i'm trying to be a good girl and stick to work only. and well, i haven't had much choice with the 12 hours days i've been putting in. anyway, here's what i did this past weekend:

friday: beth and i had a great girls night out. we met in soho, and ate at this french restaurant called randall and aubin. it used to be an old butcher shop, and has since been converted into a surprisingly fun little restaurant. the place was so popular that there was a 45 minute wait just to get in. beth and i didn't mind...it was a nice evening and we had wine outside with all the others until they sat us. once we got in, we were even more ecstatic. i mean, how can you go wrong when they're playing top 40 hits and you're eating fine seafood amongst cheerfully gay company?

this shop was across the street. i have a feeling they were selling more than cakes...

this place had a running loop video of this chick getting massaged.  i almost lost my appetite.

somehow the disco ball in the middle of this old building worked. we danced in our chairs as we ate...

crab!

desert at a frozen yogurt shop called snog (which means kiss) they also pronounce yogurt as yogg-ert here.

beth fashionably camouflaged into the wall

white chocolate star sprinkles! fantastic!

saturday: decided to take a much needed breather, and went for a solo walk down to the river. ahhhh. then bought a bunch of crappy, yet amazing souvenirs for y'all. i won't ruin any surprises, but let's just say that some of you will be receiving condoms that say, "would you like to see big ben?" on the wrapper.

a beautiful day and waterloo bridge

the locals soaking up as much of the sun as they could in the embankment gardens

docks on the river thames

after all the walking about, i was pooped. found my way back home and took a nice nap. geared up for a wildly fun night with dan and his friends in north london. it requires a separate post it was such a blast. more soon! xx
