Wedding

On Saturday, our very close friends tied the knot! So glad they finally made it legal. Just kidding of course. It was a beautiful wedding. The bride was gorgeous. The groom, so happy. We wish them the best!

Pacific Park, Santa Monica Pier

On Sunday, we hit Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier, and then we walked, and walked and walked. My legs feel as if they are broken. Seriously. I wish I could say I walked my butt off, but I checked this morning and it’s still there. How is this happy? Well, it was a beautiful day, I got to spend it with my family AND there was the promise of shopping at Nordstrom afterward, but I was too tired in the end. I know, too tired for Nordys! Unreal.

It was a busy weekend though. I have no food in the house, rehearsals to shuttle kids to, one sick kid (he ate a deep fried Twinkie, a bad one at that!) and numerous stuff going on at work. Monday is Monday but tomorrow will be better, right?

The Sunday Salon: A Birthday for The Boy

Evan at Thirteen

The Boy is thirteen today. THIRTEEN. I cannot believe it. We’ve spent our entire staycation doing little things here and there, so last night we had his birthday dinner at The Smokehouse, a really yummy steak house which is right across from Warner Bros. Today, we plan to hit The Grove. It’s what he wants to do! This photo is from the beach trip we took earlier in the week.

Happy Birthday!! You are such a talented kid. Keep drawing and creating so you can continue to do what you love.

Since we’ve been vacationing, I haven’t been by the computer too much so I haven’t checked my reader. However, so many of you have emailed me or checked in with me on Facebook. So glad for that because I really do miss you guys when I am not near my computer. Having a Smartphone helps.

Overall, our week has been good. Something happened mid-week though which completely freaked me out and threatened to make me crazy. I’m not sure if I will post about it or not. I probably will.

The Sunday Salon

As for today, we will have tacos for dinner, chocolate cake for The Boy and The Hub and a gluten-free version for The Girl and I. I’ve been watching her lately and she doesn’t seem to be doing well with gluten. Her reaction is different from mine, but I’ll be mentioning it at her next doctor’s appointment.

As for reading… I finished The Upright Piano Player and Miss Hildreth Wore Brown. I hope to write the reviews up later today. I am about 25% into Cutting for Stone (Kindle). It’s quite different from I imagined it. In a good way.

Hope you have a great day!
