The Driving Range

so, i've started learning how to golf, and i must say, it doesn't scare me as much as it used to. it's a whole different world when you have someone actually teaching you how to play and not yelling at you about how not to play. i now have my own shoes (they're so cute!), my own glove (it has a ball marker) and some clubs that are on loan from a friend. i even bought some stupid girly balls for when i play my first game, months and months from now. last night was my 2nd "official" night at the range, and while i was quite nervous at first (even after 3 shots of sake), i did pretty well. with so much to remember every time you swing the club (bend your knees, stand over the ball, keep your head down, left arm straight, right arm tucked, rotate your shoulders, bring the club back slow, right knee locked, don't twist your wrists, follow through, don't try and watch where the ball goes, breathe...), it's a wonder that i was able to hit almost every single ball from that bucket. it took me a while (about an hour - lol), but with the exception of about 10 or 15 balls, it was all me. not without instruction, of course, but i actually made contact with the ball more than a dozen times. a couple times out to 75-yards and once (with a 7 iron) to about 90-yards. i'm nowhere near ready to go to the driving range on my own, nor am i ready to step foot on an actual course (unless i'm caddying for someone, i guess), but with time and practice, i hope to play my first game by the end of summer.

i'll keep you posted.

COULD THERE BE ANYTHING SWEETER THAN ROCK SUGAR?!?

Today would mark the 1st lunch break I've taken in... I dunno... 3 months or so?
I met up with fellow Peach - Lola for some nose worthy gossip and a quick bite at Century City's new Rock Sugar. A Pan-Asian Fusion restaurant. They have an incredibly comprehensive menu with dishes originating from India, Japan, Thailand and China coupled with a Pacific Island flair. The decor certainly helps you feel as if you've escaped from LA, which is exactly what we were hoping for!
We started off with a lightly baked whole rice wafer/ bread substitute which was served with a tomato chipotle. Interesting, and delicious!
After a bit of "catching up" we were finally able to peruse the menu and pick out a few options. Wanting a taste of everything, we decided on Asparagus and Green beans sauteed in Black Bean Sauce, Chicken Satay & Beef Skewers which were both served with sweet mango and peanut sauce. All phenomenal. The black bean sauce has a unique meaty flavor that I would dip just about anything into. However, if I had to choose a favorite, it would've been the Beef Skewer dipped in sweet mango sauce. De-lish!
Needless to say, we're now stuffed and back at work, trying not to think about the delicious Beef Skewers.
I'm seeing another visit in the very near future, perhaps Happy Hour.

Till then,
Daisy

So...

I'm feeling pretty good today. I didn't drink very much which is probably why I was alseep by midnight. Not to bad! Now, do I continue this craziness and go out again tonight??? There's a great band playing, but I know I'll get buzzed and not be home until at least one.

But again, i'm still young and hip. I can do this! I think.

BOWL OR NOT TO BOWL

That is the question!
I mean, I'm not even 30 yet and the thought of not going to bed until midnight is dreadful. But why? I'm still young and hip! I can have a few beers and function the next day. Right? I mean when did I all of a sudden I start acting so responsible. I remember when I could party for three four nights straight and go to work! Although there was this one time when I was at work, I passed out and the next thing I knew the ambulance was there. We'll save that story for another time.
Well, I guess I've already committed. I'll let you know how I feel tomorrow.

Do you have a mirror?

This is a serious question...
When you stroll into work with your wet hair, sporting your muffin top and an unbelievable amount of cleave, i can't help but wonder, do you have a mirror?

Perhaps we should set some guidelines:

  • Your hair should be dry, not wet. If you don't have time for a style, put it up!
  • Wear clothes that fit you. Muffin tops are only acceptable on top of actual muffins.
  • Despite what you think, the entire building does not want to see your cleave, cover it up from 9-5.
  • Your shoes, should be a bitchin pair of heals.
  • Your make up, should compliment your ensemble not take it over.
I'm just saying, have a little respect for yourself and for everyone else that has to look at you throughout out the day.

GROCERY DELIVERY IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!

I probably have had my groceries delivered at least 4 or 5 times now and it never gets old. I mean seriously, how amazing it that you can have anything you want from a grocery store delivered right to your door! It's pretty f''in dope. I mean the time it saves and just the fact that I can sit on my couch and do it all on the computer! We're so lucky.

Try it!

MY NEW PURSE!!

So I've been searching and searching for a new black purse. Something that I can alternate with my Louis! Of course, I knew that I wasn't going to be able to buy something as nice as my Louis, but something that would still be a nice classic purse. I was a little bored on Sunday and decided I should make a run to Marshall's just to see what they had. Well, I found my perfect black purse. It's a beautiful black leather Charles David with gold accent!!! OMG!!! It's perfect! I also found a few other things. God I just love shopping! It makes me soooooooooooo happy! I will upload pics of my Louis and my new Charles!

Hunter xoxo
