In Case You Didn't Know - I'm Busy.

I was up and going at 8am this morning and didn't sit down until well-past midnight. Meeting, lunch, workout, tutored 3-8, then went over to Sorensons' for Trent's family birthday party. I have been with them every single day since Saturday morning. I totally count as family. McCall got this fabulous Harajuku Lovers bag tonight and she'd already gotten the same one from her friend yesterday so she gave it to meeeeeeeee!! :) 


So I had a really nice run today, and this horse always comes over to say hi when I walk by, even if I don't have a carrot. She's my favorite:

Night!

Busy day! Tutored a lot, then met Trent at the Food Trucks in Irvine for his bday!
Red-Eye Reduction couldn't fix the weird, glowing white eyes tho...

Tuesday, 2/15

It rained for like 20 mins today - on my run, of course.  it was kinda fun though, plus it made me run faster :) But for the rest of the day the sky was SO COOL! While I was taking the Miller kids home we saw a beautiful rainbow. Then when we got there we were all freaking out about how cool the clouds were:

Sunset was really pretty with the weird clouds: 

Then I watched the Thurin kids later on and their dogs followed me everywhere and made me laugh. Ollie is a big, goofy labradoodle, and Carlita is a weirdo little chihuahua:

I Think it Was Valentine's Day?

So I woke up and saw what McCall did to my car last night after we got back from the desert and it made me laugh:

I celebrated Valentine's Day by tutoring a bunch of kids today - whee. Although Jack did give me a heart necklace and this poem for Valentines day which was adorable:

 And then I went back to Sorenson's after tutoring to see McCall on her actual birthday and had a great time over there!

Sunday, Feb 13

Everybody got up early to play tennis over at La Quinta's fabulous courts but I slept in and then went for a walk/run - it felt awesome! I LOVE THE DESERT. I can't say it enough or explain it, but I really do. I took this pic of our condo with my phone as I was leaving for my run and the sky is really that blue:

Then we all met up at the pool and had lunch. Lori brought her sweet Pomeranian, Kingsley. I want him. I also would like all of Lori's fabulous white clothes and her pretty white BMW. 




Then we drove home & were stuck behind an Evil Bus in the carpool lane for a while, which amused me:

FUN WEEKEND!

Saturday, Feb 12

Left for the desert at 8am with Kim, McCall, and 2 of her sweet friends, Louisa and Brooke. McCall wanted to celebrate her birthday this year with a "Desert Spa Girls' Weekend" and I was asked to go. It was a gorgeous drive out there (a little under 2 hrs) and, as you can see in the mirror haha, I was very happy to see my beloved windmills along the way:

When we got to the desert we dropped off our stuff in our gorgeous 3 bed/bath condo rt next to La Quinta Resort then went to lunch and to the La Quinta Spa with Kim's friend, Lori who lives out there (lucky). 
We all 6 got fabulous massages:

then lounged on the lawn for a while and chatted and read magazines:

then we all went to dinner at Mikado in the JW Marriott. That resort is so huge that they have a river running through the lobby bar and you can take a boat to dinner!!:

Dinner at Mikado was SO much fun! We all wore birthday hats and everyone would walk by and scream, and our chef was hilarious, and everything was delicious!:


Then we had fun waiting to take a boat back:




(Brooke was exhausted and she fell asleep in the hull of the boat haha)

Then we went back to the condo for cake & more celebrating in our "Party Bus":



And we all fell asleep by 11. Even me. That massage, after the the busiest few weeks I've had in years, knocked me out.

Friday, Feb. 11

First and foremost - this morning, our friend Brandon was able to get tix for him, Stevie & I to see Brandon Flowers in VEGAS!!!!! 


Then I had a fun, sunny lunch with my friend, Julie, at Sundried Tomato. The waiter did not let us know when he was going to take the pic, as you can see:

Then I tutored the Francks and then went over to watch Sarah Thurin at her fabulous house waaaay up at the top of Laguna tonight - omg that house!!! And she is a SWEET, little thing! We worked on her poster for school (aka "I did it"), then we watched the awful "Ramona & Beezus" movie which not even Josh Duhamel's hotness could help. 

I heart crafts!
