April 5th - Wii Fit

I have excercised more in the last 24 hours then the last 24 days for sure! Love this thing!

April 4th - Wii

My arms and thighs and calves and stomach muscles and butt and everywhere else wonders if this is really a game? Actually I LOVE it and it really is a great fun workout!!! Wiiiiiiiiiii :)

April 2nd - Jake

Jake had surgery on his belly button :( so Jo and I dropped off donuts on his porch to cheer him up! Donuts will always do the trick right??

April 1st - Look-a-likes

oh this picture makes me crack up - Jenny, Deb and Ronnie may be the only one who thinks it's as funny as I go but I'll give it a try....the guy in the middle is Paul, Paul is very very very funny, emphasis on the very, he LOVES starbucks like I do (he yells at me everyday...."Henry when are you getting Starbucks for us in this bldg"), he's our head of Publcity here at The CW and he "tends" to wear the same type of outfit every single day. It's his signature!

Meet the girls and the other Paul.....this is our entire Publicity dept so for April fools they all dressed up like him and got his signature starbucks and all walked in his office single file this morning. It was hilarious and then I hear Paul yell my name to take a picture. And when I say yell it's not in the boss-y jerk way it's in the very comical hilarious way.....especially when he gets on the bull horn to tell a joke so NBC can hear it!

March 31st - THE Closet

Now you see why I'm doing the RAM home tour?? I'm still in the office and the closet is the biggest part of this month! Pretty huh??!! Please don't hold his against me....stay tuned for the after!

March 29th - 99 cent Store

These 2 rose bushes are from the 99 cent store last year - no really they are! As many of you know my BFF LOVESSSSSSSSSS the 99cent store....sometimes you do find a great buy!

March 25th - Kailey's last day

Sweet Kailey had her last day of school so we had to go out and celebrate.....and after dinner Starbucks of course!!

Even 3-year olds have low cut jeans and have to worry about being covered up.....but couldn't resist this photo opportunity!!! Thanks Kate xoxo

March 19th - Josh

Josh did not want his picture taken until his dessert was taken away from him to tease him...then he HAD to peak to see where it was! Gotcha!!! :)

March 18th - Kinoki

My BFF bought these so we thought we'd try them out. I'm skeptical and think they're a gimmic so I didn't buy any....who knows?! They were gross the next day though - yuck!!! She's still using them so who knows.......

March 17th - Lists

This is my sane meter - you don't want to imagine me without it!!

Picture theme

Yes there seems to be a theme right now to my daily pics and I'm afraid you'll have to endure my single subject picture taking - experimenting with new lenses....stay tuned cuz I don't even have MY new lense yet - these were all borrowed. It's about to get ALOT more fun!! :)

March 16th - Files

March is Office Month in my RAM Home Tour - I did this because I knew I'd be working on my taxes in March....today I re-did all my files. Phew am I glad this is done!!! I LOVE organizing....I NEED a life!!!

March 15th - Cookies

I love baking and wish I did it more but for the obvious caloric reasons I simply can't but when it's time to bless a friend with something baked I love it!!

Kate's 3rd birthday in the park....it was a beautiful day! She didn't feel good at first but finally warmed up!!!

March 10th - Oranges

Steroid-ridden oranges! We've been getting these by the bag fulls from my BFF's aunt in Camarillo but this last batch were HUGE and yummy!

March 9th - Jason's Birthday

This little punk is a year older and about to be a daddy next month - oh my!! Jason had a birthday, his sweet wife invited us for a BBQ (yum) he's Ashley's husband. He's like a brother to me (well like the one I never wanted and can't get rid of....ha!...well that's only true at the poker table!) . Love ya Jas!

March 8th - Me and my BFF

Me and my BFF - converted to 70% black & white cuz that's what all of you do when you don't think it's a fab enough photo of yourself - admit it - you go black and white...I know I'm not the only one :). This is the day after Ashley's big Mommy-to-be party and we were plum tuckered out! I'm thankful for my BFF - she's an amazing gift to my life, amazing friend and has taught me so much (yes even how to budget - but she's got way more amazing things about her than just her stellar budgeting skills....she's a hoot!)

Week of February 22nd

March 7th - Ashley's Baby Shower

The very very last picture of the day - I always forget to get a picture taken with the guest of honor and thankfully for Jodi she made us hop up on our tired feet so I could have one - thanks JoJo! It was such a fun day - I'm glad we got to bless Ashley with a shower! Love you Ash! P.S. many more pictures of the shower to come :)

March 2nd - Bachelor Finale - Oye!!!

February 28th - Cherished China

Ahhhhh aren't these gorgeous! I was putting my dishes in my new buffet today and going through all my china getting ready for Ashley's baby shower tea at my house next weekend and grabbed this box. My sister gave me my Great Grandma's china a couple months ago when she was moving but I never opened the box until today to put it safely away in it's new home. I was in awe when I opened it - this pic doesn't do it justice - it is absolutely stunning with golden brownish tones.....I'm in love with the square lunch plates.

Who wants to come over and join me for a fancy dinner sometime soon??

February 22 - Buffet

I have the best Sis and BIL ever! My sis gave me this new buffet for my dining room (okay I'll admit it's on an indefinite loan - someday she'll want it back but hmmmmm maybe I won't give it back). For a couple years I have really wanted a new piece for my dining room because I had an old little piece there that looked like Alice in Wonderland furniture especially with my tall ceilings and I REALLY needed the storage. I have put off buying something cuz it's not a "need" and I didn't want to buy just anything. Then one day I got a big Jesus Romance.....my sis showed me a pic of this and asked if I wanted it...I was so excited but then it was the task of how to get it from Newport Beach to SCV. Well my very sweet BIL drove it up to me on Sunday and turned right around and went back home (well not that quickly....I took him out for sushi lunch before he left - one of our fav things to do together since sis doesn't dig it). Thanks Rod - you're the best! Love you both!!! xoxo

And hey I didn't have to do a man chore - Yipppppeee! Ain't it a beauty!!

February 24th - Lisa & Joe

One of my absolute favorites-to-date that I have done. I'm thrilled with how this design came out AND I love working with this bride she's a doll.....it's been a breeze even though she's on the east coast!!

February 27th - Lia Sophia

Preggo Ashley (she's due April - yay!) had a Lia Sophia jewelry party at her new house Friday night...love their jewelry!!

February 26th - Little One

Sweet little Melissa - "little one" is what I call her! She is in Jodi's small group and made dinner last night - yummy pork chops, homemade applesauce (who knew) and this cornbread thingy that was amazing!! It wasn't until I had a 2nd piece that I was told a whole stick of butter went into the 9x9 recipe - eeeek!! We took several pictures but this one made us laugh so hard that I had to use it!!

February 25th - Kailey

The old spanish trail had a house guest this past week - sweet Kailey (she's on the left - BFF on the right)! Kailey you're welcome over anytime - especially with that amazing pizza you made and your 2 buck chuck! Love you!!!

February 23 - Utensils

This is the before click here for the after :)

Week of February 15th

February 21st - Napkins

These were found on day 21 of my kitchen tour.....all the "leftovers" that you can't throw away but there are never enough for party #2.

February 20th - Shannon

Shannon came over Friday night to hang out - it was so much fun catching up and chatting for hours. We took a cute photo of the 3 of us but it doesn't really capture the night like this one :). Pretty much this is what you get at my house - YUMMY LATTES! They are happily served them to anyone who comes by and visits....well okay almost anyone!! I can make a mean foam but Shannon's is actually whipped cream - in fact her cup is probably half empty and she went for round 2 on the whipped cream!
