California dreamin, On such a winter's day

TOMS staff was out of town Thur-Sun in Monmouth. Blake (founder of TOMS shoes) treated them all to a long weekend of skiing for xmas. This meant the interns were given a 4 day weekend because no one was in the office to give us work.
Here are pictures to document the weekend...enjoy =)

Devika's (bottom left) dad wanted to treat all the interns to a carry out dinner on Wed night. Devika picked out a great Indian restaurant not too far from our house and we were able to choose a dish. The Nann was incredible and we all want to go back for the afternoon buffet. (This is our kitchen/dinning room area by the way)














Thursday a couple of the girls and I spent the afternoon in Culver City. We got our eyebrows threaded (will never do it again), had lunch in this area of the picture and walked around Sony Pictures















That night I found a bar close by (thank you Yelp.com) that had Thursday night Trivia. None of my roommates had ever been to a trivia night...never!! It was a good change from the typical LA places we have been going out to. It wasn't dark, there wasn't club music, people were not dressed up and they had draft beer. Hopefully we'll start being regulars.














Friday the majority of the TOMS interns and Vagabonds went to a taping of the Chelsea Lately show (http://www.eonline.com/on/shows/chelsea/index.jsp)
Before I came to LA i had never heard of her. Thanks to many of the TOMS staff and some of the interns I know pretty much everything about her now.






















all of us who went






On saturday i took a break from the Real World house and our family friend Susan came and picked me up for the day/night. Spent the afternoon walking around Beverly Hills while she got her hair done. We went to Korea Town for dinner = amazing. (I'm craving one of the dishes that we had while i type this right now) and after dinner we took a long drive down Melrose and Sunset Blvd...now i really feel like i'm in LA after this day.














sunday was the super bowl and a few of the roommates went to Costco to buy pizzas, wings and dip. For once i loved being on west coast time, with the game starting at 3 it ended by 7:30! It was a little odd for it to be light during most of the game and for it to be 76 degrees outside.

Back to work now. We have another roommates birthday tomorrow and one of the TOMS staff guys is playing guitar at some club tonight. As always there is never a dull moment with 15 people always around.

Have a good week
