Birthday Joys

I don't know where she found it but my sister Lori sent me the best Birthday card. Freaky little church children with the title "Birthday Joys"...I don't think the picture does it justice but I had to try to share this with the world.

The romance continues

It's a good thing it wasn't raining in Seattle when we got back into town last night. I think I would have been driven to a deep dark depression.

Ryan and I went to Cannon Beach this weekend for a little Valentines getaway with our good friends the Hagemans. They live in LA but come up to their family's beach house a couple times a year and for some reason we keep getting invited to join...I like to think it's because we're incredibly witty and easy to get along with.

One thing is for sure, it's great to have rich friends...c'mon people- am I right or am I right?

The weather was great. I got to run on the beach, eat great food, hang out with Ryan, read stupid Hollywood magazines and listen to the LA crew talk about things I would never have the opportunity to discuss with my friends in Seattle. Like Marc Jacob's bags for a "reasonable $1,330". I can't even imagine what it would be like to have a bag that expensive. I could buy a car for that price.

One thing is for sure, I'd leave the price tag on the bag. For all to see.

I got crabs for my birthday

This is a little late but I had the most fabulous birthday and thought I should post some pictures on the old bloggerooo. This year the celebration started a week early when I found out that my dear friend Lynette bought a ticket (after much convincing) to come out for the weekend. When she got here we did it all: had an all girls dance party, played with, dressed up, and ate some live crabs, we had a wine tasting, and did a hard core yoga class led my friend Jodi Wellman in our living room. We also took a few naps.

It should be noted that Ryan went to Uwijamaya to get the live crabs - people looked at him funny, laughed at him behind his back, and maybe even snickered, but he did it- and I love him for that. Such a sweet husband.

So to recap: On my birthday I killed and ate my own food, drank wine, did yoga and spent time with some of my favorite people. I also finally got to hang out with the much adored and talked about Libby. She, Kirsti, and Christy - all new the Elaine and friends group- really represented and got a great many points in my book.
