Lately..

I've still been going full steam ahead at work but a few days ago during my day trip to LA I was able to have lunch my sister and niece and relax a bit.  My niece got her first hair cut and to me she looks and feels like Beezus (from Ramona & Beezus~) This girls such a character and I don't get to see her nearly as much as I'd like.  I'm soo looking forward to next week. My parents, sister and niece will be visiting me while my hubs will be on a business trip for a week.

Feeling the Love..

I took a day off of work this past Monday on my b-day...not to celebrate but to move into a new apartment. I can now wholeheartedly say that I hate.. actually despise..moving.  Our landlord was the toughest judge ever during our final walk through and dinged us for every little nick and scratch he could find.  Arnold and I spent 3 late nights painting the apartment.. and it was pretty much all for nothing since our landlord ended up hiring a professional painter and taking it all out of our security deposit of course. Lovely..

Note to self: Going forward, if we ever feel like saving money by taking it upon ourselves to do the handiwork...don't do it.

To top it all off our movers were 3 hours late which threw us off schedule and we had to scramble to make our dinner reservations.  It would be our first date night in over 4 months without Zachary.  I had been wanting to check out Quince's tasting menu for a while now and boy did it not disappoint.  The dinner was supposed to be 3 hours long but towards the end of it, we were exhausted beyond words and asked them to bring out the last 3 dishes simultaneously.. (way to keep it classy, right?)

When we got home from dinner, there was a package on our front door from Tory Burch.  At that moment, my fatigue completely vanished as I tore open the box.  My friend from Tory B. gotten me some B-day goodies to add to my collection!

So, Arnold's been working late everyday except Sunday's for the past few months and I'm not gona lie..it's been pretty hard taking care of Zach on my own.  (Bath time, feed time, play time, nap time.. Wow, Stay at home mom's have it tough..and all you single mom's out there, hats off to you).  He's been feeling a bit guilty about not spending anytime with the family and let me splurge on these David Yurman hoops.  I wanted something for everyday wear yet still something I can wear out at night. I'm liking how I get a perfect combo of both silver and gold. Thank you hubby and to all my friends for giving me so much LOVE!
