attention

okay seriously what the heck??

my blog has become that neglected child at the playground who never gets any attention. matted hair, messy faced, stained clothes and no supervision...
poor thing.

so now i will do what any decent guilt ridden mother would do.

over-induldge the kid

okay little blog, we're goin to disneyland and you can eat as much junk from the candy palace as you want.

San Diego trip September 2010

this trip re-energized every cell in my body

my town was having a heat wave which was heavenly since we really didn't get much of a summer this year.

burning the candle at both ends, staying up til 3 in the morning just to talk
seeing family and friends
and drinking in the city that is my Home

pure bliss

and wanna know the icing on the cake??

after a long drive home and feeling a new kind of exhaustion my body didn't know possible, i arrived to a spotless home, a beautifully rearranged bedroom and presents from my sweetheart.
it made me so ectstatically happy.

so here we go








a great little dessert place called Babycakes. On 5th ave in Hillcrest.












influx cafe, yummy homemade granola and great coffee












chara and tyler are having a baby!!! the baby shower was great fun.


i made these cupcakes from a recipe on the blog "joy the baker"
i couldn't get them to look cute, but they were delicious!!








fall in san diego, it really does exist


lil punkin is growing at an amazing speed, i swear she looks 5 in these photos.

as i ask her what she will be for halloween, she has 3 different answers

a pirate
a ghost
or
a pumpkin+-

so we shall see

i am loving fall even though we don't have pretty colored trees and piles of leaves to jump in. last night we had a lightening storm and it rained huge fierce drops as we cuddled inside putting out halloween decorations and watching "Eloises Halloween" for the hundreth time.

toodoo

sitting here writing my to do list which probably is the sum of five borderline normal persons to do lists...
scanning the floor cause i think i see a bug, but there are too many pieces of dried food and dust bunnies to distinguish anyways
somehow vaccuming still isn't at the top of my list, but making a cool magnetic chalkboard is!! Loews here I come!!!
i'm so obsessed with deorating and making our home feel homier right now, but it's ironic because we have a 2 year old. and two year olds have thier own decorating ideas. most of which include dried up playdough EVERYWHERE and lots of small plastic parts sprinkled on the floor of every room. hmmmmm i was envisioning more of a pottery barn/anthropology-esque feel...
but i'm sure the playdough will win

to do list:
make bean soup
make cupcakes
make football snacks: rosemary cashews, salami/cheese plate
go to loews
finish laundry
redo/clean downstairs bathroom
go to michaels for more creative junk
have a relaxing restful day, maybe do some yoga??

i think monday is a better day for vaccuming...don't you??
okay here i go!!
