Hasbro Game Night! June 17, 2010

My friend Niki got a party sponsored by Hasbro Games, and invited Irving and I over to join the fun!!

They sent her a whole bunch of board games and some fun snacks!

First up, we played Trivial Pursuit. It was a new version and the questions were ridiculously easy. My team totally came in last place though. One of our categories was “The 80s” and quite frankly, I don’t remember much of the 80s because I was so young. haha That wasn’t fair.

Niki had awesome snacks, including homemade dips, homemade ice cream (in homemade waffle cones!).
She also had these bad boys. Mmmm!

At the end of the night, everyone got prizes!!!

I picked a good one!

I ended up with these!

I hear they are quite fun! Can’t wait to play with them!

Irving got this! WHOO HOO!

Thank you so much, Niki and Hasbro! It was a ton of fun!

Irving’s birthday is on Tuesday, but I surprised him last night for a Birthday Picnic at the beach! Erika, Timmy and I surprised him with balloons when he got out of work.

We headed down to the Santa Monica pier.

Happy Birthday, Irving!

We had quite the picnic!!!

Irving really enjoyed it!

MMmm Cherries!!!

But the star of the picnic was, of course, the COOKIES!

I mean, LOOK at this!

We were totally entertained my the birds that kept trying to eat the trash. Poor things.

They were really funny to watch though. We felt bad for them. haha

Then we played frisbee for over an hour. What a workout!

Fun Fact about Irving: He is a righty and does everything with his right hand except throw a Frisbee!

I also had some fun playing with my camera:

And my favorite:

What a fun spontaneous night!

Sunday Funday Hike! June 13, 2010

This morning, JR, Timmy and Erika and I got up really early to go for a hike. It’s nice to go really early before the sun burns off the fog layer and it gets too hot.

It was gorgeous!

It was Abby and Muggles’ first time meeting each other.

I think they really hit it off. haha

We hiked to the Nike Tower, which was an old military missile control site during the cold war!

It’s so high up, they can see almost all of LA from there.

The old guard shack:

We climbed to the top of the tower and JR watched the pups!

It was a gorgeous hike though.

Where’s Erika?

In 2 Hours and 15 minutes, we did 6.25 miles!

Good job Abby!

PS…. yesterday, Ashley and I played a few great games of Bananagrams. lol

So far, a great weekend!

Nothing too life-changing has been going on. Just a bunch of random, everyday adventures. In no particular order…

Beauty on a walk
Irving and I went on a few great walks this week, but one day, we saw these amazing flowers in someone’s yard. They look like they’re from outer-space! Does anyone know what these are called??

A Sad Day…
We are sad to report that we finished the jar of Nutella.
We had banana, peanut butter & nutella sandwiches for dessert one night.. MMMmm.

We have to get another one ASAP!

Running!
Erika & I went on a great 3.9 mile run on Friday. (I’ll spare you the sweaty picture.)

But post run… I had the most glorious cold shower. YAY!
Then had some fresh strawberries.

I ❤ when strawberries are in season. It’s such a nice treat.

Art on the Wall!
We are very excited to announce that after four years of living in our condo, we have pictures on our wall!
And not just any pictures… real nice ones!

Irving worked really hard to make a photo collage on the wall.

It came out awesome!

A view from down the hall:

We plan to add two vertical frames on the upper right and lower left in the future.
(Seeing the frames on the wall, we realized it’s a lot of white, so we’re contemplating painting this wall green to make the pictures pop more. What do you think?)

We printed some pictures from our photographer, including this one (my fave):

I still have to get a frame for that one though.

Blogger Giveaway!
I won my first “blogger” giveaway this week! I was really, really excited about it.
Peanut Butter Fingers sent me a coupon for free Monterey Pasta! I’m very excited. Thanks!!

House of Pies
Last night, Ash & JR, Erika & Timmy, and us went to the House of Pies again!

It was fun conversation and really good coconut cream pie!

A Taste of Home
This morning, I woke up to a great cup of Iced Coffee from Dunkin Donuts. It really did (almost) taste like the real thing. Mmmm!

Isn’t my life exciting?

Sunday Funday June 6, 2010

Today was just the perfect mix of friends, exercise and fun!

It started out with a 5 mile run with Erika and Timmy and the Los Angeles Racers. It was awesome. Started out cloudy and got bright and sunny by the end. What a great way to start the day!

We completed the 5 miles in 1:07 (burning 465 calories!)

Mile 1: 12:29
Mile 2: 12:18
Mile 3: 13:42
Mile 4: 15:03
Mile 5: 13:26

After the run, I came home and caught up on the three episodes of Kendra on my TIVO. Classy.

Then headed out to TWO HOURS of Pilates at Mind2Body! They were having an open house, so Erica, Janet and I headed over for some free classes.

I ended up doing 4 back-to-back 30-minute classes: Mat, Magic Circle, Tower and Reformer.

I had never done any kind of Pilates classes before, so this was a great intro into each aspect of it. I left feeling like my muscles were exhausted, but not in pain, it was so much fun. Totally relaxing. I focused a lot on breathing and I know I zoned out a couple of times. I totally needed this!

Then I met my friend, Danielle, for some iced coffee at Aroma Cafe.
