Friday the 13th!

Tom and I made a risotto for dinner tonight! It was actually a healthy version with asparagus, peas, and spinach so I could feel good eating a lot!

Red Sox beat the Yankees! Wahooooooooo! Happy day!

Google knows everything!

Blogger was down yesterday (Thursday 05.12.11) so I couldn't post my picture!

So yesterday, I was forced to go to an author book reading/signing that I had never heard of...Isabel Allende. However, after googling her and also checking some of her books out, I was glad I went. There were a ton of people at the event but Isabel walked around to greet everyone. I even got to meet her! She was very nice and I learned that one of her books was selected for Oprah's Book Club.

Beer is allowed on a diet right?

Today was such a long day (and the Sox lost...BOOOOO!) that I figured I deserved a beer!

However, I think that goes against my diet detox!

It's just one beer! One beer never hurt anyone! Haha!





I did make a bet with a friend to see who could be the most fit by the end of the month. This isn't helping my chances but I'm determined to win! 

Diet Detox!

This is my lunch for the rest of the week! I feel like I've been eating very unhealthy lately so I'm going on a diet!

However, if I'm cranky this week, then you'll know why!

P.S. The Red Sox can't seem to get to .500! Very frustrating!

I love wine!

On Monday 05.09.11 went to the Winemakers event at Santana Row! Got to try a lot of different wines and sample really tasty food! Each restaurant had a different winery which featured 2 wines and paired with a couple of appetizers! I can't wait to go back next year! haha!

Mother's Day Extravaganza Part 2!

For mother's day, my brother and I made frutti di mare! It was a big hit and I think I ate way more pasta than anyone should! haha! Also had lots of wine which makes any dinner great!

(For full disclosure, we actually had dinner Saturday night instead of Sunday!)

Mother's Day Extravangza Part 1!

On Saturday 05.07.11 my brother and I made my mom french toast for a pre Mother's Day treat! We used the delicious Greenlees Cinnamon bread and topped it with fresh strawberries, sliced almonds, and some powdered sugar! It was yummy! What a great way to start the Mother's Day celebration!

Where have you been all my life?

I can't believe it took me this long to try Greenlees Cinnamon Bread! It is soooo good! It's also from a local bakery! I can't wait to use it to make french toast tomorrow morning!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

 

Cinco de Mayo! Yay! An excuse to eat really good Mexican food and drink margaritas! Well I didn't have a margarita but had something almost as good! Super chevelas! 

2 of my favorite guys!

Jacoby and Tom spent some quality time together today! Adorable!

Also, it's 10:40pm and the Red Sox game is still on! haha! Feels like they're playing on the west coast!

Flowers!

Tuesday 05.03.11, I got to work to see flowers on my desk! What a wonderful surprise!

I can't believe Tom and I have been dating for 11 months already! Time flies! Here's to many more months!

Doggies! (and kitties too!)

Look at what I bought today! The cutest stamps ever!

As you can see some are already used! I couldn't wait to use them!

P.S. Can the Red Sox play the Angels all the time?? Haha!

Date Night!

Tom and I went to try out a new restaurant tonight for dinner called Tigelleria Organic Restaurant in downtown Campbell. My favorite part about the dinner was the charcuterie plate! A plate of meat and cheese along with some great jams with a bottle of a nice wine...what's not to like! Honorable mention goes to the affagato dessert! Yummy!

 

P.S. I was happy with the Red Sox walk off win (Yay Lowrie and Crawford! And yay for the sun helping out!) but Bin Laden dead?! WOW! What a monumental night! I can't believe it!

March of Dimes Walk!

Saturday 04.30.11 was finally the March of Dimes walk! Had a great day with my mom and Jacoby. I love that the walk is family and dog friendly! The weather was wonderful and Vasona Park is very lovely. They had lots of booths set up with free swag along with free breakfast and lunch. Jacoby loved being outdoors all day and we actually got tired before he did!

Again, thank you to everyone who donated and supported me! You guys are awesome!
