This little girl has been staying with me for a few days. Her name is Misty and she is very playful! She plays with my boys and discovered chew toys and wet food! She even wanted to play with Kelly, but of course, Kelly didn't like her and they got into a little fight, well, sort of!


Uggie chilling under the coffee table... sometimes you just don't know where the cuteness pops up in my house!

I do a little bit of fairy gardening to slow down my head at the end of a stacking crazy day. Well, sometimes you just have to believe in a little bit of magic!

After running around like mad all day for work, I settled down and cooked a delicious dinner with friends tonight! We made Chinese hot pot and I showed off my special sauce recipe! I particularly love sharing food with friends, it's just such a great way to spend time on the weekend!


At the end of meal we used the broth from the hot pot to cook udon. The flavor was amazing!


In keeping with asian style, we had green tea ice cream for dessert. Guess who was game for that? :)




Tried out a hip new restaurant with my girl friend after work last night! I got there 40 minutes early than our meet up time so I could chill with a glass of wine at the bar. There was no better way to unwind after a long day of work!

My weekend work outfit, I work all weekend but it's a lot of fun for me!


A new plush bed for my doggies! I'm slowly changing out their dirty run down old beds. This one felt so good in my hands I had to get it. All my doggies took turn to check it out, sufficient to say, it was a hit!


What else should I treat myself to on my birthday? I'm really loving lobster these days, wish they weren't so expensive!

In rare moments I do feel a connection to the past, I think it's important to reflect the past in order to project into the future.

I've started beginner tango lessons for a couple of weeks, I enjoy it so much I decided to invest in a real pair of tango shoes today... to do that you have to drive to LA, as in World Tone Dance Shoes to get them! I started only able to take about half hour of class, then I would just sit and watch others dance, but last class I can dance through the whole 45 minutes. It's small progress, but it's progress, right?

New Year Preparation

I always like to do a bit of preparation at the end of each year to welcome the new year, although this year things were very challenging, I...
