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.IMG_3981

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.

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?

I feel like I didn’t accomplish anything today, but I guess I did get a lot done…

I love lists…

IMG_3914

I did all the dishes from last night’s fiesta… including a whole slew of wine glasses!
IMG_3916

I changed out the table cloth to be more “summery”. Feels fresh!
 IMG_3920

I love the bright colors!
IMG_3922

I finally brought all of my cans, bottles and paper to the recycling center. 
The bin had been overflowing for a while now!
IMG_3923

I got a whole $2.05 for it all. LOL
IMG_3929

The Roomba did all my floors for me. A+ for the Roomba!

I also chatted with my dad and sister for a bit. They’re on a road trip to Chicago today!

I caught up with my mom a bit too! Yesterday was her birthday!
Happy Birthday, MOM!

I concluded the day by painting my nails and watching this…

What a boring, productive and relaxing day!

 

Memorial Day Happenings May 31, 2010

We didn’t do too much this weekend, but we had fun hanging around LA and getting a few things checked off our list.

Yesterday, we went to see “Hubble 3D” at the Science Center IMAX!

It was pretty incredible. Leonardo DiCaprio narrated it. It really does make you think about how small we are in the scheme of the entire universe. I recommend it!

Then we spent the rest of the afternoon rearranging our closet. We aren’t sure if we really saved any room of if it’s better than before, but we got rid of 2 trashbags of old clothes to donate to charity.

BEFORE:

AFTER:
IMG_3871

We aligned all the “cubes” on one side.
IMG_3873

And moved the dresser to the other side:
IMG_3872

We might move it all back the way it was, but for now, it’s a fun change.

++++++

You all know how much we love tupperware, so I wanted to share another item with you!

I bought this set from Tupperware a few years back, it’s intended for deli meats… but it’s not really air tight, and I don’t think it stores meat/cheese very well… But it does make a fabulous Pizza storer!
IMG_3861

Put one slice in each section….

IMG_3862

And stack!
IMG_3864

Amazing.

Also, all my flowers from a few weeks back died, except for the daisies! So I put them in a little champagne chute to get a few more days out of them!
IMG_3870

The look a little lost on our table, but they’re still cute!

Tonight we’re having a BBQ dinner with Ashley and JR!

And tonight, Erika and Timmy should be arriving into LA! They’ve been on a roadtrip across the country to get here! Check out their blog, it’s fun!

 

Where in the Condo is Rosie? May 28, 2010

This is the first of what I’m sure will be multiple posts about where we find Rosie the Roomba.

She’s supposed to go back to her homebase when she’s done cleaning… unless she finds mischief to distract her along the way!

Today I came home from work… and Rosie was NOT where she was supposed to be. So then I began to hunt around looking for her.

At first, I couldn’t find her!

IMG_3829

THERE SHE IS!

IMG_3826

She was hiding under my clothes in the closet!
IMG_3828

A very clean closet though!

IMG_3827

Then I found out why she was hiding! She tried to vacuum up the string on one of my shirts!

IMG_3835

Once I untangled her, she got right back to work again! Nice job Rosie!

Here’s a video of her finishing what she started!
