My new (temporary) office

We will eventually be building walls around my office, but as a temporary solution to over-crowding in my old office space, we have put up a partition between my boss' and my office and constructed my desk. I ♥ change! *lol*

Celebrity Sighting in San Francisco!!

Jason and I were walking down the street by Pier 39 in San Francisco on Saturday when he spotted Jayma Mays! (She plays Charlie, the waitress & Hiro's love, in Heroes!)



Pretty cool... We love love love that show!!!

My new office has a view!

I don't think I've posted photos of my new office yet (I'll do that soon), but here's the view that I have! Isn't that a beautiful sunset??

I need rehab. I'm definitely addicted.

The first step to recovery is recognizing that I have a problem, right? Well I do, and it is www.weffriddles.com!

It's the coolest online riddle trail I've ever done. It can keep you going for weeks and weeks! I think I started on Monday and I'm on level 30 now.

If you have hours and hours of time to kill, I suggest you give it a try. If not, beware!

(If you want some help on any of the levels before 30, feel free to email me.) Good luck!

Thanksgiving Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Hubby and I spent it with his mom, her significant other (Scott), my parents and my brother. We had fried Turkey with all the fixin's and it was delicious!!

Here's the TURKEY MASTER doing his thang:









Can we eat yet?!



Mmmmmmmm....

Snuggle time!!

Seriously, our little kiddlets are so adorable! She's actually resting her head on his paw like a pillow! Just wanted to share the cuteness. :)

Calistoga Weekend

I spent the weekend in Calistoga (in the Napa Valley) with my mother and my mother-in-law. I'm blessed to have a wonderful relationship and friendship with both of them. Hubs was in San Diego with my Dad (aka his father-in-law) and my brother (aka his brother-in-law) scuba diving on shipwrecks off the coast.

In Calistoga, we stayed at this place that included a spa. The first day we had mud baths (weird, but sooooo nice!!), the second day we had hour massages, and the third day we had herbal facials! Talk about being pampered. We also went wine tasting and ate delicious food. It was a great trip, but I really really missed my husband. We hadn't been apart that long since about 3-4 years ago. (And it's not happening again! *lol*)

Here are some photos from my trip:

Funny guy selling stuff from his bike.

Our sparkling wine tasting at Mumm Napa.

Frosted-over champagne in its first fermentation. This 45 minute guided tour was REALLY interesting.

Pet time!!

A very late Halloween Update

Hubs and I spent Halloween night in at home watching the Sharks beat the Panthers 2-1!! We had just a few trick or treaters and ended up with a half bag of left-over candy (of which only a small amount is still left *oops!*)

Earlier in the evening, we finally carved our pumpkins!

Here's Jason's:



Here's Mine:



About a week earlier, we had hubby's mom and her significant other, Scott, over for dinner. For desert I made a low cal Trader Joe's pumpkin brownies. And I used pumpkin to make a monogram of our last name. *lol* I'm a nerd, I know. We ate them with slow churned pumpkin ice cream. Anyway, here's the proof.
