Fall is here...

And not for a short visit...its here to stay...the leaves are changing color, the air is crisp, its getting dark sooner and the temps are dropping...its already in the 50's and 60's. I'm so not ready for this BWAHH!! Its going to take a few days to get used to this chill in the air. I also need to dig out all of the extra layers to shield from head to toe. This also means i have to triple my will power to wake up and jump out the bed when i hear the distant noise of my alarm at 4:50am. I want spring now..well, i guess that means winter should be here first. On second thoughts, I'm not reday for winter yet. On that note, I'll step off my soapbox and try to enjoy the fun things in fall.

Laidback Saturday

Today was one of those days when we didnt have too much going on. Gloria came in the morning and the house is now spic and span. Aji and the kids went for Sean's tennis class. I had a hair appt. I had got sandlewood incense for my hairdresser Maggie and she was thrilled when i gave it to her. She in turn gave me two of her hand made earrings. They are beautiful!!

I will probably get her to make a few more when I see something I like. I also got a free keratene treatment and free shampoo and conditioner. She really is a sweetheart. After my hair appt I met Aji and the kids at Pei Wei for dinner. Rhea was looking fwd to ice cream from Maggie Moos before dinner and even though it got a bit chilly when we were done with dinner we still went for desert.

Want to take a guess at the favor choice - you'll never get it...TWIZZLER. Rhea got marshmallows mixed in and Sean had Marshmallows and sprinkles...super sweet..

Cute and Comfy

My new shoes that is. Got them in the mail yesterday.


It was pouring rain the last 2 days and I was hoping we get a break so I can introduce my new finds to the world. And the skies cleared this morning and I'm wearing them today. Rhea will notice this first when i go to pick her, she has the eyes of an eagle when it comes to anything new I wear. I'm looking forward to her reaction.
