Happy Easter

There are no kiddos around to hunt for eggs (the black lab and tuxedo cat don't count here!), but that doesn't mean I can't still dye eggs!! Tie dye egg coloring kit, Martha Stewart glitter, 10 eggs, an hour later and...VOILÀ :




Happy Easter and enjoy the week ahead!

Hello Again, San Diego!

So, I'm in the lovely (and cloudy, for now) San Diego for the weekend. Since San Diego is home and where the fam is, I try to visit every few months. This weekend is also special for two reasons. First, my best friend of 25 years, Danielle, just turned 27 (yes, we're getting old!!) and we're celebrating this weekend. Since I left town for college and graduate school, Danielle and I don't get to hang out very often, and it's been even longer since we've spent either of our birthdays together. So this weekend is a special treat for us! Second, one of my other great friends, Cheyenne, is expecting her first baby girl and her baby shower is this weekend!! I took my mom with me to buy her baby shower gift and it was a lot of fun (overwhelming too, and I'm not even pregnant!). I can't wait to gather around and shower her with great gifts for her and her precious baby!

I packed a bikini so hopefully the sun and its warmth make an appearance so I can tan this pale body of mine! I also plan on walking everywhere since gas is over $4 a gallon ( I'm on a diet too, so the exercise can't hurt!). Oh, how I've missed San Diego...

Happy Birthmonth!!

In this family, we don't just celebrate birthdays, we celebrate birthmonths!! March marks Andrew's birthmonth and this year we celebrated with a lot food and libations. I surprised him by taking him out for drinks at Seasons and dinner at The Melting Pot, one of our favorite dining experiences in town. Later in the month, we dined at Tropical Grill and Sushi Bar, a local spot serving South Pacific deliciousness that is literally a hop, skip and a jump away from the house. The husband closed out his birthmonth with a week of spring snowboarding in Telluride, CO. I'd say he was happy with this year's birthmonth festivities, and I bet he's looking forward to next year's! Happy Birthday, Husband!!
