I was one of a few thousand people chosen to host a ‘Febreze’ party this week! I was SO excited.

So being the clever girl that I am… I made it into a manicure party!

When the girls came over and were greeted by their swag bags.IMG_4182

I was being eco-friendly and reused some of my (many) Victoria’s Secret bags I’ve been stashing over the years. Oohhhh Pretty!

Each person was greeted with a towel, nail file, coupons and Febreze branded pamphlets.

This morning, I went out to meet the LA Racers for a run in Porter Ranch. I just didn’t want to go. I have been tired all week, and I’m not really training for any immediate races, so it’s hard to get motivated! But it was a beautiful morning.

Luckily had had Rhoda to be my rabbit today. She’s fast!

My mind was wandering and my body was trying to keep up!

Running up there is so peaceful and suburban!

Thanks for pacing me, Rhoda!

I ended up doing 4.75 miles in 1 hour and 4 minutes.

I was SO excited to get this after. It as HOT!

Not a bad way to spend a Sunday Morning!

Some of our friends invited us over for a backyard BBQ this weekend. They have the cutest house with a big yard, it was really fun! They grilled burgers up, and I made my signature Pasta Salad!

Step 1: Make a fun summery pasta…

Step 2: Dice up celery, carrots and black olives:
(Hint: I boil the carrots half way through so they’re not so crunchy)…

Step 3: Combine everything…

Step 4: Add 3/4 bottle of Italian Dressing…

And Viola!

But after dinner, we had a fire and roasted S’Mores!

Friday!!! June 18, 2010

It’s Friday! Here’s a few things I did today:

  1. Went to the gas station and put $6 into my tank. HAHA I felt like I was in High School putting 2 gallons in. I actually laughed out loud. Seriously?! [I have to make an airport run tonight and I was too tired to sit there to fill the whole thing up. lol
  2. Found my Roomba having a party under my bed with all her friends. No joke! I couldn’t find her at first when I got home. But there she was… hiding under the bed with a few books, a stuffed animal and one my tshirts that she must have dragged over there. When I tried to set her free, she started yelling at me in French! Does anyone know how to program her to speak English?! Since I didn’t know what she was saying, I tried to take her apart…

    I was somewhat unsuccessful, so I am leaving her like this til Irving gets home!

  3. Um…. that’s good enough for a Friday… I’m going to take a nap….
