she's pretty in pink + techie + something new

day 22 thru 24...

had to do this in color of course...
she's very very pretty in "pink"...
but then again she is pretty in everything...

what would the kiddos nowadays do without "technology"
????
they would probably say...."i would die without my iphone/smartphone/laptop, etc."
kiddos nowaydays won't ever know that there was a world without these thangz...
sorry my babiez....
but you are spoiled...
so be grateful!

and here's "something new" for selene...
bought her 2 more sippy cups...
she is doing fine during the day with it...
bottle before bedtime...
but now..
gotta start weening her off before bedtime...
wish us luck.

today:

• worked out...
• load of laundry, actually 2...
• straightened up the house as best i could while selene naps...
• post to my blog finally...
• pick up maiya from school...
• drop her off for taekwondo...
• meet up with a friend at the pool around 330ish while maiya is at taekwondo, it'll just be me & selene...

yesterday and the day before

wasn't able to share my photo-a-day yesterday..
just plain forgot.
but here's day 7, shadow, and day 8, in my wallet...

after we dropped off maiya at the airport...

i've got a small wallet w/ only the essentials...

friday night, we had dinner at the yard house....

yes, my infamous bathroom selfie...

one of the best strawberry mojitos i've had (but it still doesn't beat hawaii's)

thinking hard of what to order...hmmmm

peppered crusted gorgonzola burger, one of the best i've had too

an upclose of now one of my favez...

the yard house crowd finally died down.
when it 1st opened in palmdale, the wait was over 45 minutes.
that night we only waited less than 10.

saturday morning we dropped off maiya at the burbank airport.
she is spending spring break in WA as you know.
i wish she was with us, but that's my selfishness talking.
she'll be back home this coming sunday nite.

after we dropped her off, we headed to palmdale for lunch.
chiptole...my hubby has been craving it.
we just never went back b/c maiya isn't a big fan.
but opportunity knocked for us this time, so we took advantage.
i had the burrito bowl (chicken, pico de gallo, brown rice, a lil sour cream).
yumm-o.

gave her some of my chicken, lil itsy bits...

she wasn't too interested in it, as you can see...

i picked up a couple of their menus b/c loved the look and plus it was printed on some good quality kraft cardstock.
memorabila ya know.

last nite, me, hubby and selene went for a nite walk.
it was nice b/c we got to to talk about stuff about ourselves.
like how we both can be bossy and demanding.
and how we need to put each other in check if we go over board.
i felt a sense of relief now that we got that out in the open.
communicate, communicate, communicate.
aaaaahhhhh.

today is...

• laundry day
• scrappy day ( i haven't done a page in so long!!!! i've done bday cards, but not pages)
