Yum, Chorizo & cheese crustless quiche from Trader Joe's... 30 minutes to bake?!?! Ok, I hear the blog calling my name anyway... 

So, what a fun weekend! Saturday went to Ikea, got a killer deal on a bookshelf that I'm using as a TV stand as you can see:


I just finished decorating it tonight. It's not great, but it'll do for now. I need to get the DVD player out of there (and my old PC too).

Seriously, will you stop??? I think my neighbors are gettin' it on next door again and it sounds like the beginning of an earthquake. And you know how paranoid I've been the past few days.

Back to the weekend... Sunday was Beach V-ball all day, 10am to almost 4pm... at 10 am the water was so serene, and a couple of dolphins were really close to the shore... it was pretty cool. It never gets old even after the 20th time you've seen it. When I got home I baked a scrumptious frozen apple pie and claimed it as my own recipe, and then brought it to a really fun BBQ. Here are some pictures for your enjoyment:


Clockwise, from top: Lillian, me, Mayou, Tak's evil spirit, Christine, and a guy taking up 1/4 of the picture. May I clarify that I am not standing next to a naked chick and Lillian is indeed wearing a strapless dress, $teve...

Leo and the girls...


We were way too happy that we won all those games today...


So, that's about it! I worked today from 8 to about 2, got home, did some cleaning, brother's coming Wednesday night, I get Friday off, Saturday we drive up to Salt Lake... and that is where the real adventure will begin :)

Today I'm grateful that I was able to re-arrange furniture all by myself. What are you grateful for this beautiful Memorial day? Have a great night!!

Food, gloree-ous food!

Well, it's been a while.

It's been a busy and productive weekend.

Friday I went to the DMV and got my Cali license plates :)

Saturday I went to Ikea, bought furniture and set up delivery for Sunday. I got my bed delivered around 2pm. It is, oh so very comfy. And high. That mattress is just massive. I have to jump to get on.

Sunday, did absolutely nothing related to football. I got my Ikea furniture delivered at 9AM, built two dressers and a coffee table. That's right, all by myself. I also made crepes to bring to work on Monday. On the way to Von's to buy Nutella, I get hit on by a 40 yr old Iranian. Great. Nice guy. I'm taken though, and you're... well, kinda old. But thanks. I'm flattered :)

Today, went to work - and welcomed the newest member on our team, Boss Man J, who started today. We did a breakfast potluck to celebrate him and me (although I've been there two months now) coming to the team.

Holy crap it's been two months!!!

On the menu for breakfast today:
Crepes, Nutella & Raspberry jam by me
Bagels, whipped cream cheese and lox by Boss Lady M
Yogurt & Granola by Boss Lady P
Juice & milk

It was a great way to start the day. And we all started watching Super Bowl commercials. Umm, aren't we supposed to be working? Oh well, not much to do this week. Let's enjoy!

That was the fun-filled weekend.. and first day of the work week.

Running update: ran 4 minutes Saturday, 4.5 on Sunday and 5 minutes today. I also saw 5 Dolphins close to the shore travelling in my direction along the shore today. With the sunset in the background, it was absolutely magnifique. That's what I'm grateful for today.

I'm also grateful for having a man in our office. I love my lady co-workers, but there is way too much estrogen in there. Need a good balance. :) He also seems like a fun guy. Yay! We have a really fun office.

Something funny today? I came home to an apartment that's a total mess. There's still boxes laying around, I moved everything that was on my bedroom floor to the living room floor this weekend, until I get the last dresser assembled... YEAH. You may wonder why this is funny to me - but I hate messy apartments, yet I live in one. Oh well... will clean it tomorrow. Tonight I'm relaxing on the couch with my awesome coffee table and watching Family Guy.

How was your weekend? Hope it was a great one. Feel free to leave me a note and tell me about it!
