Birthday Bug

Yesterday my little Zoe Grace turned two, and I didn’t post anything because I was busy spending the day with her and enjoying every minute of it. We played, ate breakfast and lunch together, read books, and played some more. We did puzzles, played hide & go seek (she’s always the seeker…her choice), and gave lots of hugs and kisses to each other. When Daddy got home, we went to the Zoo. I have shots of her enjoying a couple carousel rides (she loves the tiger, “ROAR!”, but insisted that Daddy take her on the wild boar first…she’s quirky like that), and chasing a peacock in the Lakeside Pavilion. We also rode the train, barked like seals and took turns pushing the stroller (all three of us). We had a great time.

Farewell to Curves

I’m finishing up my year at Curves, and am transferring to The Lodge at Des Peres. There are many reasons behind this decision: it’s less expensive, there is more equipment, the hours are better, it’s closer to my house…in other words, it was a no-brainer.

Mobile Blogging

I’m typing this on my cool BlackBerry, which, while cool is not real conducive to long posts. Kinda just wanted to see if I could update the blog from it. Whaddya know…I can! Now that I’ve proved it, my thumbs are tired. Plus I need to get back to work. Hello from O’Fallon!

No sale

There must be something in the air right now that makes all sales people go crazy. I’ve had two bad experiences with people trying to get me to purchase something from them in the last week.

No, I don’t want fries with that.

It’s rare for me, a bonified lover of dining out, to say, “Holy cow, please, can we just eat in tonight?” I have reached that point. In a very short time frame, I’ve eaten at Krieger’s, Mike Duffy’s, Bristol, the Panda Chinese place in the mall, Crazy Bowls & Wraps, Rich & Charlie’s, Trainwreck, Dewey’s, Nobu’s, Pei Wei, and Farotto’s. The food was all fantastic, but I do feel as though I could pop right now.

I need more cake

The day after a really good birthday is sort of a bummer. Kind of a let down. It’s like right after you finish the last brownie in the pan, or, in M’s case, the second you polish off your last ketchup-ham sandwich at Christmas.
