Vacation Count Down

Posted on August 29th, 2010 in All This Useless Beauty,Party Girl by Mrs. Hall

I flew in from L.A. Friday night and was pretty useless Saturday. Saturday night we went to Horne and Dekker with Howard and Lisa, and also ran into our super-cute neighbors, Val and Jenni. Horne and Dekker’s blue cheese potato chips are pictured above.

Sunday was a full-on day of cleaning and gardening, followed by champagne in the pool. Now Les is making tandoori chicken and home-made grilled naan. Three days until London!

A Room of My Own

Loving my fancy suite at the Palomar. Just had a yummy Jacuzzi bath. Almost makes up for missing Elvis Night at El Ranchito back home in Dallas.

La La Land

Vegetable pasta and a cucumber cocktail at Blvd 16 in Westwood. They were so nice to me when I checked in to the Palomar that I seriously thought they had confused me with someone else! Great hotel, great weather and one week to London!

Life Is Good

Staying at the W in San Diego. Had small plates and cocktails with Don on the beachy rooftop deck. This afternoon I head to Costa Mesa. Weather in the high 70s and low 80s.

No emergency visits this week. :-)

Mondays

Dang, Mondays can be rough! Thank heavens for half-price sushi at Zen Monday nights. Today was a hellacious day, presenting at a conference tomorrow and then off to Seattle for an emergency visit for the rest of the week.

Is it vacation yet? At least the British airport strike is off.

Picture taken with Gorillacam – which has zoom capability! Then processed with Camerabag’s fisheye filter. That damn heron is still too far away though.

My Marvelous Husband

Posted on August 8th, 2010 in All This Useless Beauty,Girls Talk,Love Field by Mrs. Hall

Can I say enough about my sweet husband? First of all, he picks me up at the airport at 9:00 Friday night and brings Izzy.

Then he arranges dinner with our friends Saturday night so I can have some fun – and even takes me for dessert after.

Then he hangs his antlers to surprise me, and moves them when I think they should be lower.

And Sunday morning he drives me to Cafe Brazil on his motorcycle for brunch. And tonight he is making veg fajitas for me.

Hooray for Les!

Happy Apple

My morning fruit plate was somehow extra cheerful this morning.
