#58 - Happy Mother's Day!

To all my friends who are mothers and to my mom - Happy Mother's Day! I see pics of your kids (how they're growing so fast and all of the places you take them) and can't fathom all that you get done in a day from getting the kids ready in the morning until they go to bed at night - you are amazing women!!

#57 - Padres Game & Adams' SD Condo

Jim & April Adams (w/ NewHomesDirectory.com) use to have a suite but now have these fabulous seats to 20 home games this season - 3 rows back from home plate!
These seats come with all you can eat and drink, whatever you like at no additional cost!! Here is the candy buffet but you could also order right from your seat...and we did - garlic fries, beer, pizza, beer, peanuts, beer...you get the idea.

Then, they offered us (which we quickly accepted) to stay at their 2 bed/2 bath condo inside Petco Park! They opted for the city view rather than the stadium which was really nice (blow up this pic to see a plane in the distance - San Diego airport is near by and it looks like the airplanes are going to fly right into the buildings; creepy).

Here's a shot of the San Diego skyline from their master bedroom. Phenomenal condo, great weekend! Oh, and the fridge in their condo is stocked "just like on MTV Cribs" per Lui. :)

#56 - Girls Trip!

Marissa and I picked up our rental car and upgraded to a convertible! Having never driven one before, I was pretty excited (note the huge smile, see the gum?); Marissa has one but still humored me and let me drive EVERYWHERE with the top down.
Our major reason for taking the trip was for great shopping deals. Check out the line waiting to get into Last Chance - where clothes go after Nordstrom's Rack. Special of the day was an extra 50% of short sleeve t-shirts, scarves and tanks were all $1!!

Here is Heather and me! Hadn't seen her in 3 years, great time catching up with her!

Lunch was at Il Postino, YUM! Here's the bruschetta plate I shared with Heather. From left to right: tomato/basil/mozzerella, ricotta/dates/pistachios, roasted peppers/goat cheese, roasted artichoke hearts.

Here's "the plate" which we didn't order but the waiter brought us for free. A little bit of everything delicious! Also, I'd like to mention that ALL of their wine from an extensive wine list was $5/glass.

A few drinks and jell-o shots later, here is the whole group in Scottsdale. We grabbed some dinner Saturday night at El Gringo before dancing at The Devil's Martini. Great weekend!

#55 - New Baby!

LOTS of great pics from the weekend to share, but...just found out that my niece is pregnant! Andrea is 23 (will be 24 next week) and is graduating from nursing school in June. She lives with her boyfriend, Vincent (who is also a nurse but in the ER), in Corona. Andrea is about 6 weeks along, due December 20th. It's been a while since we've had a baby around, looking forward to it!!

#54 - Girls' Weekend!

Going to an Angels game tonight - bundling up, it's gonna be COLD (around 50 and possibly raining)! Then off to AZ tomorrow afternoon for a F-U-N weekend with the girls = shopping, massages, laying out, eating, drinking, taking lots of pics...to follow!!

#53 - Jerseylicious

I'm an admitted reality show freak...and I've got a new addiction - Jerseylicious on the Style network. I highly recommend going on the website, uploading a photo of yourself (free of charge) and giving yourself a Jerseylicious makeover. Please enjoy mine, my teeth are pink because it's lipstick - the program didn't count on you showing your teeth. Lots of other fun makeovers to try out, for example, have you ever thought how you would look with Rhianna's hair? Want to try a bold color lipstick but hate how it stains your lips? Fun times, I highly recommend.

#52 - Autumn's Awesome 80s B-day Party!

Lui's really good friends, Kevin & Autumn, hosted Autumn's theme b-day party at their house on Saturday night. Was a fun time! In the pic (I reached out and snapped this one of us) we're taking chocolate cake shots to kick off the night - vodka & frangelico with a lemon wedge dusted in sugar, tases just like chocolate cake! We snuck this round in before the larger part of the group arrived, partied until 1:30AM!!
