Long but good day!

I can't believe how much I did today and felt fine all the way through, until we were about 30 minutes from home!  That's when it hit me that I am tired!

We had a lunch meeting with some associates from Libya in downtown L.A.  The drive there was fine, it took an hour, and we arrived at our destination, Spago, in Beverly Hills.  This was my first time in that area, we don't normally venture too far from home, although it's only 11 miles from where my hubby works downtown.  First I must say that lunch was delicious, and we met the chef and owner of the restaurant, Wolfgang Puck.  He noticed my pregnant belly and asked how long I have till the baby comes, and after my response he chuckled and said, oh you have plenty more time to eat.  We all loved the food, but, we were stuffed and couldn't finish what was on our plates.  Our new Libyan friends were wonderful as well.  They are newlyweds, and traveling all over for a few weeks before going heading back to work in Libya.  They were easy to talk to and spoke English very well, conversation was nice.  We then walked up and down Rodeo Dr. checking out the sites, took a couple pictures and made our way back to get the car.  I knew something was up with my feet because they didn't feel the greatest walking around in heels, and found I grew a few good sized blisters on my toes.  Flip-flops for me for the next coming weeks I think!

The hard part came with the drive home.  We left for home at 3:45 and didn't arrive at home until 6:40.  Yuck, I cannot imagine driving that everyday.  3 hours for 50 miles just doesn't seem right.  I am thankful J can ride the Metrolink to work and doesn't have to fight the traffic, I think he is even more thankful for it than I am.  Not good commuters in this house!  :)

All in all it was a great day, and now I am ready for a nap.
