You came in with the breeze on Sunday morning

I am seldom awake this early on the weekend but I intend to be productive. So I shall do laundry, wash the dishes and get some swifter action going.  Then I will scurry off to the Eagle Rock farmer's market for fresh fruit that will rot before I eat it and korean beef skewers for Antz.

I have been really feeling nostalgic for NYC so I have been perusing the blogasphere and I found these lovely nuggets http://www.brooklynlimestone.com/ and http://www.designmom.com/.

These are a few of my favorite things for a Sunday afternoon
Our Planet

Vintage Los Angeles Photography

 

Orla Kiely Luggage

Felix Rey Wallet/Clutch

J Crew anklets

Nasa has really poor timing

 Around 5:30ish I hear a loud boom and my house shook. I immediately thought it was the begining of an earthquake but there was no shaking. Antz heard it too in his office in Glendale. My heart was practically in my throat and I was shaking uncontrollably. It also didn't help that I have been watching 9/11 shows on the History channel all day. Alas, it was a space shuttle returning to Edwards air base. Not really the best day to schedule loud happenings, am I right? New York is very dear in my heart. In December 2000 I was proposed to on top of the Empire State Building. We have visited New York 5 times since and we even have this amazing picture from our trek across the Brooklyn Bridge in freezing weather.  Some of the photos are from our scrapbooks, my apologies for the lame scanner job.

It's 9/9/09!!

I am about to cook dinner for Antz. I am making steak and baked potatos. I would love some wine with dinner but none in the house. So I promise to write later tonight. I will debut my baby shower theme that I am totally stealing from Hostess with the Mostess. Toodles **I have returned. So as promised take a peek at my dream baby shower.

Cirque du Bebe

   

I love the palette, the French theme, the modern feel, no pastels!! I found most of the decor online and I am starting my search for black chivari chairs. I love themed parties and I found these masks for props to use in the photo booth. Antz has been enlisted to create our invitations, table numbers and posters. Don't you just adore that yummy circus font?!

 

I'm a glutton for punishment

We went to John's *not-so* Incredible Pizza for a birthday party. It was a fun place, like Dave & Buster's mixed with Chuck E Cheese with an all you can eat *awful* buffet and bumper cars, etc. It was amazing to me how many newborns I saw at the place. It was definitely not the most sanitary place to hang out but maybe I'm just a germaphobe. They had crossover pizza like mac n cheese, peanut butter and hamburger. I suggest they make a bacon pizza. I'm bummed summer is over. No more long days, no more great traffic going to Gilli's and no more half day Fridays for Antz. The only event coming up is Story's birthday and Halloween. Leslie may have a party. Oh, I almost forgot... Antz taught me how to use Photoshop! Here is my amateur attempt.

See how novice I truly am! I hope to get better over time because I want to put together a remodel of this house. I promise to blog tomorrow since it will be 9/9/09. Love & other indoor sports
