Pedi's + friends + fun food = girl's night :)

Carlie was coming out from Arizona on her way to Vegas, for a couple of days, and it had been WAAAAYYY too long since we'd seen her last, so we decided that a girls night was in order.... I sent out a quick txt message to the girls, and we had a good turn out despite it being REALLY short notice! :0) we started with Pedi's, which were heavenly, and moved on to dinner which was delicious.... :D I have a thing for "fun" food, and it's presentation is everything!! :) we went to the Yard House and I ordered the chicken lettuce wraps... you can't even imagine my excitement when they showed up.... it was perfectly "fun".... and absolutelly delicious, I ate the WHOLE thing!! :) Yummy Chicken Lettuce wraps!! ..... And our dessert spread.... I ate the creme brulee in front, that was delightfull too!! :)

Me and Carlie.....

Jessica and Sarah

Our side of the table..... :) me, Carlie and Erica

a Group Shot!!

What a GREAT girls night we had... It's always nice when the guys volunteer to watch the kids so we can go out for some pampering! ;) I can't wait for the next one!!

Another week has come to an end! :)

So here I am on a sunday once again, ready to close out the week.... it was an interesting week to say the least!! hahaha!! nothing major, just a lot of little things that have made me appreciate that much more, the person that I have become.... So I guess today it's fitting to say that I am grateful that my parents brought us up with rules, when I was younger I sometimes thought that they may have been too strict, but now that I look back on it, I am glad that they had rules that we were expected to follow, I am so grateful that we were taught about politeness and respect..... "Always say hello when you arrive in someone's house, or when you see a person, and good bye, when you're leaving." It's polite and it shows people that you have respect! that was my mom's number 1 rule..... and to this day, we all still do it..... It's funny to me when you say hello to a person and they ignore you, even though you know and they know that they heard you.... no worries, I'll try again tomorrow! ;) Why should I be the rude one?? ;)

This week was pretty quiet to say the least, there were a few more "relaxing/Lazy" days than what I'm used too.... which meant there was a lot of thoughts going thru my head.... One in particular is the fact that May is going to be such a busy month.... I think I have something going on every weekend this month.... and I'm still trying to sort out in my head how I'm going to try and attend 8 different events on May 22nd.... hahaha!!! I know it's going to be ABSOLUTELLY impossible, but I'm going to give it my best shot! ;)

There was one fun trip this week, Jessica and I drove out to Palm Springs for the afternoon/evening to celebrate with Emily for her birthday! It was definitly fun hanging out with the Fontaine girls..... :)

And there was A LOT of baseball too..... I LOVED it.... now if only my one fantasy baseball team would step up to the plate the world would be better!! ;) j/k

And I think that brings us to Sunday.... sunday was an interesting day..... I woke up early, and watched some more tv. guess I hadn't watched enough during the week.... ;) then my sister and I decided to go shopping at the Super Target.... We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE target.... hahaha!! on my way there I saw it, the accident that was about to happen, and then it did... I was stuck at a red light a couple of blocks down, but I saw it.... shortly after i saw the cop cars, and ambulances driving by, and then my phone rang.... it was my sister.... what were the chances?? yep, she was part of the 6 car accident that had just happened... lucky for her, she was the last car to get hit, so she wasn't hurt.... although I'm sure she'll be sore tomorrow.... weird, this was exactly like my car accident a few years ago... except the car that caused the accident this time was "bigger" I hate car accidents and everything that they bring with them! although I am VERY grateful that she wasn't hurt... I did just get a phone call telling me that her truck is hurt more than what I thought... guess I wouldn't make a good mechanic! ;) After we shook off the shakes at Target she went home to "relax" and I went to a birthday party with friends.... what a good way to end the day.... DeBran and Kenny did a wonderful job with the party.... The food was terrific as usual and boy do I wish I would of had just one more donut hole!! ;)

And that brings me to the end of another week..... next week is full of changes for me, beginning with a change in work schedule, and a change in "budget".... seeing how I get to start work later, I think I'm going to start making my coffee at home and drinking it on the way.... sounds good to me so far.... there are so many things I can do with that $5 coffee a day habit.... ;) the challenge is going to be actually doing it.... I just hope I don't spend my extra morning time on the computer instead!!! hahaha!!! Here's to a great week for everyone!

Lazy thursday......

Thursdays are usually my days off.... Usually I have something planned, something to look forward too.... this week it was different, I had absolutely no plans.... I did wake up early, but didn't really do much, there was a lot of computer time.... hahaha!! I shopped, sort of, ;) I updated and caught up with my blog..... there were many unfinished ones, there was some laundry to be done too, and i can't forget about those 90210 re-runs..... ;) so far it sounds as if all I did was relax and be on the computer all morning..... eventually I decided to get ready and go out and finish some errands, of course I ended up at Target..... It seems that I have to make a trip there at least once a week! :D I had seen these shoes last time I was there, and I fell in LOVE with them.... but they were out of my size..... I LOVE anything bright, so these were right up my alley! I went ahead an picked them up this time, since they actually had my size..... I can't wait to wear them!!! :) ...... Mmmmmmmm...... these were waiting for me when I got home, homemade eclairs..... :-D My momma is the best! I was so excited that I went ahead and ate 2 right away!! hahaha!!! it's a good thing I had such a big lunch..... it meant that I got to skip dinner and jump right into dessert!! :)
So that was the end to a very lazy, yet full thursday!! looking at the eclair pictures just made me hungry again..... maybe I'll go have another!! ;)

Happy Birthday Emily

After work on tuesday Jessica and I drove out to Palm Springs to surprise Emily for her birthday, she was out there for a few days with Melissa and their mom.... on our way out there Jessica spotted this really cool looking cloud.... i'm glad she thought to take a couple of pictures! i'm pretty sure these kind of clouds only happen in the dessert and where the sky's are clear..... :)
Me and Jessica at dinner.... we ate at Las Casuelas, a mexican restaurant on the main strip, the food was tasty!! I'm sure I ate enough chips and salsa for 2 or maybe 3! ;)

The birthday girl with her birthday flan!

..... and a the infamous group shot! :)

After dinner we went back to their hotel, to check it out and look around.... I must say that it definitly had character!! ;) hahaha!!! Happy Birthday Emily....

a not so good monday, let to......

..... a little taste of retail therapy!! ;)

I don't know what it was about today..... let's just say that it started off GREAT, but it definitly took a turn for the worst REALLY fast...... This bright sunny day shirt sure made my day though..... hahaha!!! I saw it a while ago, and didn't get it.... today I went back to the store and it was waiting for me... just sitting there waiting to brighten my day!! :) here's to hoping that the rest of the week is better!

Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day.

Talk about the perfect quote! ;) This week started out kinda rough, monday was not the best day, but it was nothing a little golden spoon couldn't fix.... :) so that was the "something" good in monday! well let's see...... golden spoon and good conversation..... Thank you Jessica for sharing with me..... ;) hahaha! that always helps..... :) and I even got some Ella and Luke time that day too... oh how I enjoy those moments!!!

Then there was tuesday, ummmmm...... let's just say that tuesday was the day I lost 4 hours of my life that I so wish I could get back!! hahaha!!! gotta LOVE the fact that the HP computer person I was talking to was in India.... I guess i do have to give him credit for trying sooooo hard to make small talk!! hahaha!!! ;)

The rest of the week kinda came and went..... thursday was fun, while my parents left to go visit a friend at the hospital I got to lay around and watch movies..... i called it relaxing.... :) lol, and I also had 2 lunches..... have I mentioned how much I LOVE food??? thanks Gaby and Rosie for sharing lunch with me, I got some puppy nephew time..... then it was off to play with the kids, The Princess and the Frog was actually better than I expected..... :)

The weekend was amazingly busy...... Gaby and I worked on invitations for her "special" surprise, then it was off to spend some quality time with Matt, Charles, Heather and Angie..... we shopped a little, ate a lot, played at the Bass Pro Shops and even attended the Art show Angie's students put together..... talk about a busy day!! but we had a good time.... ..... and I even got some new shoes!! ;)

There was a moose at the Bass Pro Shops..... might as well take his pic!! :)

Then Sunday came along...... time to celebrate Marcela's b-day and have some much needed quality "girl" time..... we met at the Tustin town center and had lunch and played "catch up" it was definitly a great time!!!

Happy Birthday Marcela!! :D

...... And there you have it.... my week in a nutshell..... always lots to be thankful for, even though there were some bumps in the road at the beginning..... but like I said earlier.... it was really nothing a little "'friend" time and some golden spoon couldn't fix!!! :) 'till next week!!!

I LOVE my sister!!!! :)

Fun times are always had with my sister...... :) we went to a famiy friends baby shower, and of course had a photo shoot! I cherish "sister" time so much these days, It seems that the older we both get, the closer we get..... and I so totally Love that! :) I can truly say that she is one of my best friends..... :) Love ya sissy!!
