Happy Birthday, SIL L!
Today is my SIL's birthday. Happy Birthday, L!
Back from hibernation - and busy as hell. Everyone's back in the office this week from India, Shanghai, Paris, Florence, Turkey...where else? As my brother said, this must be one kick @ass job - we get to go places and he gets to go to Redding :). Haha!
The Big Guy and I played hokey on Friday and called in sick and spent the day playing with Jake. It was so fun!!! How we wish we were rich so we can do that everyday!!! Jake had his 18month appointment that day and got 3 shots - my poor boy. At 18mos, he is now 27.4lbs and 33.7" tall. We invited M&D over for dinner and the Big Guy treated Dad for some tri-tip and for Mom, grilled chicken. Now that Jake is using a booster seat, he actually has meals with us at the dining table instead of being in the high chair. It's so fun and I think he likes it more since he gets to be with everyone at the table. M&D stayed long enough for coffee and went home around 11pm. The Big Guy and I stayed up to play Scrabble (I know..we're geeks!).
Saturday was my brother's berfday! Happy Belated Birthday, R! The Big Guy, Jake and I spent the day with M&D in San Leandro to attend their province's fiesta celebration. It was a cold day, but I think Jake had fun running around. It was at the San Leandro Marina and Jake was so elated that he can see the planes landing in OAK that close. He had a blast running around the park with the big boys. We just stayed for the food - there were TONS of food around. We didn't know anyone and M&D would occassionaly run into someone they know but we basically just hung out with each other. We stayed for a couple of hours before heading back home. I don't know what it was that we ate, but it must've had major MSG because all 5 of us were out cold that afternoon. Jake and I took a 3hr nap and the Big Guy fell asleep watching tv in the living room. M&D took a nap as well. We finally woke up at 5, when Mom called to get ready to meet R&Y for dinner to celebrate his birthday. We didn't have any gift for him so we got him sansrival from Goldilocks (which disappeared right away after dinner). We had dinner at this Korean restaurant in Union City (his choice) and went back to his place for cake. It was a good night. Happy Berfday, Dude!
Weird thing - it rained almost the whole day on Sunday. The Big Guy went out on his own to look for cars (yes, we haven't finalized our car selection just yet). We are still debating on what to get but atleast we have narrowed down our selection. Hopefully soon?!?! We went to Cost Plus to get some stuff (and the coolest water bottles we just had to have ;>). I just love their furniture!!! We also went to Target for some more stuff. We said we were just going in to Target for laundry detergent, and we walked out with more than that! Nuts!! I hate how that store just sucks you in!
Those of you who know me know my fascination with Hello Kitty :). The Big Guy was going to throw me a Hello Kitty birthday when I turned 27 but since I was heavily with child (and very moody), the party didn't push through. He even ordered Hello Kitty favors from Manila with the help of my bestfriend C. Anyways, Hello Kitty is celebrating 30 years and Judith Leiber was commissioned to do a crystal purse in commemoration. More Hello Kitty stuff:
- BCBG/Max Azria - silk/cashmere shawl
- Michael Graves – “Purrvilion” cat gazebo
- Kimora Lee of Baby Phat - chic, 18k white gold and diamond charm bracelet
- Mossimo Giannulli - guitar
- Sonia Kashuk - special cosmetic brush set
- Aaron Bethlenfalvy for Nirve - 24K gold plated "Bling-Bling Kitty Kruiser" bicycle.
- Liz Lange - couture maternity outfit
How cute is this?!?!??!
Have a good day people...
