Bridal Shower Tea Party

My friend is getting married in a few weeks, she was having a tea party for all the girls today.




We played a bunch of games, like which celebrity is married to who, I think I finished last in every game.
Time to open the presents!


Birthday Girl

On Wednesday, Facebook told me it was my friends birthday today. It seemed like she had no particular plans for the evening so I invited her and her husband over for dinner. First I was thinking it’d just be us but then I thought “What the hell, it’s her birthday!” and invited a few friends we have in common as well. Since it was already late Wednesday night when I started my planning, I didnt think a lot of people would have time to stop by, but it turned out no one else had plans for the Friday night either so the birthday girl was happily surprised when everyone started to arrive.

We moved a couple of months ago (photos of the new place will hopefully be up soon) and finally after 4 years in the US, I found a kitchen that I fell in love with and got inspired to start cooking again, this was another reason I wanted to have friends over!

I also made ice cream, home made ice cream is so freaking good!

Birthday girl is opening presents!

Back at the Bowl

I went back to Hollywood Bowl again last night to hang out with friends and watch Buena Vista Social Club and Goldfrapp.

It was not as crowded as yesterday but still as much fun!


Abba Night at Hollywood Bowl

The Hollywood Bowl is pretty awesome, they have all sorts of different concerts and events throughout the summer. You can get cheap seats far back and you can bring a picnic. It’s kind of like Norrvikens Tradgardar in Bastad (for those of you who know what it is) but it’s in the US so it’s off course a lot bigger.

Last night was Abba fest, we did not quite know what to expect, but were really excited for it.
It turned out it was a big Abba fest with the OC Gay Choir warming up with Abbas big hits. Their singing and synchronized dancing was both pretty bad, but it was a laugh and you cant really go wrong with Abba songs.
The main act was an Abba cover band from Sweden. I thought they did a god job, the drummer toured with the real Abba back in the days and the guy on saxophone was the original guy who played on all their albums.

Hummer in the Summer

Today was the 4th annual Hummer in the Summer volleyball tournament on the beach and 36th St in Manhattan Beach.

Hollywood Tour

I really don’t like Hollywood, but you have to see it so if you come visit me from out of town/country, I will give you a private Hollywood tour.

Manhattan Beach

 Going for an evening walk along the beach.

Yeah, dolphin spotting!

I never get enough of the sunset over the pacific!
