Busy, but fun times! We started last week by hitting the Art District with Linda & Amanda. We all love thrifting and the Art District is perfect for it! But first, coffee, always! Tried Iwana Specialty Coffee Roasters who get their beans from Colombia. It’s owned by Colombian sisters too I believe. Give them 5 Puma’s out of 5 for the coffee!
Then shopping and hit a hydration station in between shopping too 🙂
There’s a lot of street art too… Hence the name I guess 🙂
Took them to Stray Pirate too, which is a pirate themed bar. Important to stay hydrated when it’s hot outside!
Checked out a smoke shop and did an impromptu photoshoot in there! Never waste a cool spot to show off some poses!
Amanda said she had a restaurant she wanted to try out. It’s called Palate and it was superb! Linda and I tried the beef tartar and Amanda ate short ribs and it was all really good! They even threw in some cotton candy. I went for it faster than an unwanted fart slipping out, until I realized I’m not consuming sugar and put it down!
On the sugar note, I’ve been sugar free for a week now! I tried to negotiate with myself at the store yesterday, telling myself I could have some chocolate for doing so good. Had to use all of my willpower to leave the chocolate on the shelf and walk away! Puma vs chocolate 1-0. Like first time ever!
It was a 9h day in the Art District and we left stuffed, tired and with some great new outfits!
Made Linda work some too and she is great at shooting pics and videos! Have more fun stuff to edit so stay patient 🙂
Also some photos from Greg in a borrowed pajama 🙂
Some things never change. Like me and Hunter napping 🙂 Got to keep some routines even when you have friends over! Heating up in Vegas now and Hunters new fav spot is at the next door neighbors bushes. From there he can keep an eye out on our street!
Also tried to organize this place up a little. Got waaaaay too much stuff and things are all over the place. One neighbor moved and dropped off 4 bags of clothes for me to check out in case I need something. Of course I do. And for clarification, I don’t need anything, but I want hahhaaaa… My organization is ongoing and probably will be for a while. I’m an expert at starting things, then leaving it midway through to just start at something else 🙁
Showed Linda and Amanda Golden Tiki Bar too. Very kitch-y interior, fun drinks and great finger food. Oh, and I would definitely want the wall paper they have in their restroom at my place 🙂
After we went to a speakeasy place called Mas Por Favor. Cool bar and they have the best tacos. Not the regular kind, but with a twist. Great night!
There also been cooking at home. I have to find the pics of us making Swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes, served with lingonberry jam from IKEA. Sooo good and we invited Angel, Ashley and Jennifer over and ours definitely beat IKEA’s balls! Linda enjoying the Vegas sun with Hunter, and me trying to convince Linda that people would pay to have my feet in their face LOL….
We watched ‘The Surfer’ with Nicolas Cage. Weird, but we liked it. Had to ask Gemini about the movie after because we didn’t totally get it, but it’s supposed to be left for interpretation…
Also watched ‘Ballad of a Small Player’ with Colin Farrell. Some people said they think it’s a bit slow, but we liked it a lot!
Watched ‘The Rip’ too with Matt Damon & Ben Affleck. We liked this one too. Not the greatest, but would still recommend it 🙂
I also finished the book ‘The Widows’ by the Swedish author Pascal Engman. Lots of characters and twists, and very exciting. Think I will have to check some other books out by him.
Unfortunately Linda flew back to Sweden today 🙁 Like always when someone visits and stays over it feels so empty after! One of the most easy going and kind people I know. Miss you already Linda!
I played a couple of hours of pickleball today. Playing in a small tournament at the gym on Friday. Luckily I have a super good guy playing as my partner, so I count on him making up for my f*ck ups 😉
There might be a little overnight getaway coming up too, but need to plan a little. What’s happening in your life?
Hugs, Puma
