and now back to our regularly scheduled programming...

Wow, you have a lot to write about when you haven't had a regular blog post in a while.
Here goes...

We celebrated Joaquin's 40th birthday. If you have been reading along, you may have noticed that this has been very stressful as I have learned that Cuban's can't keep secrets. Well, they did keep the birthday a secret but not everyone showed up and no one but my family and a friend were on time. So basically, we surprised them when they came in. I guess another thing I learned is they don't know the meaning of SURPRISE party. Oh well, the food was good and I have a ton of cake left over.

We ended up just staying at Red Rock for a couple nights. It was a good little getaway and I got fried. Again. Good thing I didn't have Sarah Wright to answer to after that. But, my cute little kid looks like a Coppertone baby.


My mom, Jessica and I ventured out to Boulder City, Nevada this week to go antique shopping. Not really sure what prompted that but I ended up with a couple of books for Ellie and a really cool Walt Disney Song Book circa 1979. I don't even play an instrument. It was just that cool that I had to have it!

Ellie and I will be in Newport Beach in 2 weeks (Joaquin will be coming in later) and I'm about ready to pee my pants with anticipation. Pretty sad that I am getting this worked up over California when I used to go there all the time. I guess that is what happens when the only vacations you take in a year are to Utah.

In addition, I will be at the Toad the Wet Sprocket concert next Sunday and I can't wait. They are in my opinion, the best band EVER. Nevermind that they broke up and didn't take me into consideration. Oh well, reunion shows are always good too.

And, aren't these so cool. Taken from Martha Stewart's website. Something you should have if you live in Vegas.


Did I mention I hit Joaquin's car again. Yep, I backed into the drivers side door that was open. Yep, I need a new bumper. Yep, his car door is out of alignment. Yep, my life sucks.

And, just a reminder that the modbe swimsuits are going fast. Get them before they are g.o.n.e. Of course, if you get anything, it would help if you have me as your consultant. #1928. I'm waiting for the new catalogs to come out and then look out - you are all getting one in the mail! Well, at least some of you. If you want one though, send me an email lbags999@yahoo.com with your address.

I don't know, is that enough said???
