I heart weekends...

These are our plants after just one week! They are really growing.

Last week at work was slightly crazy. We're getting ready for a huge trial in January, and Ray is traveling all over taking depositions and talking to experts getting ready for it. Also we're having a Thanksgiving potluck the day before Thanksgiving, and I'm going to make a casserole of some sort. I found a glass casserole dish at Ross for $6! So I'm thinking either broccoli/cheese casserole or hashbrown...or if anyone has a tastier one I should try, let me know!

Mark and I are going to eat these fantastic subs later from Mario's. It's this Italian place really close to our house, and everything they make is amazing! Monday nights their pizzas are cheaper, and the garlic/pepperoni is the best! Anyways, I've been thinking about that meatball sub since I woke up. Can't wait! Then we're going to see a movie at 3. Gotta take advantage of the matinee at the moment!

Miami's 25th Annual Book Fair is downtown this weekend. Tomorrow I'm going to meet up with a girl from my book club, have lunch, and browse the books! There are lots of authors going, both English and Spanish, so I'm hoping to find some good stuff. I also heard that a lot of artists set up booths of their work, too, so I'm excited.

That's really all for now! I'll be home on Thanksgiving day very early, so I'll definitely be at all the festivities. Can't wait for the fabulous food and treats! And, of course, to see all of you! Love!

It's been a while since the last post....

This week at work, Patty and I planted flowers. She bought them at Target's Dollar Spot and by Friday they had already sprouted! Green thumbs, what! That's them on Day One in Ray's window.


Sorry that's it been so long! I've been a little busy. Here's what I've been up to.


Two weekends ago (on October 26th) I ran a 5K for domestic violence. Me and my friend Patty got up reeeeeeeeeeeally early (it was still dark out!) and drove to Sunrise, FL (almost to Fort Lauderdale) for the 5K. Two attorneys from our work met us there to run also, and they kicked our butts. Oh well, it was still a lot of fun. They gave us a lot of food at the end and a free t-shirt. I love free t-shirts! Then I came home and took a nap.


Last Friday (Halloween) I dressed up as a cat for work. After work Mark and I went to eat sushi and then waited for trick-or-treaters. But only one group came to our house, and we actually missed them because we were getting in the car to go eat. We didn't do much that night because we were exhausted, and then I was lazy on Saturday. But on Sunday we went to an art festival on Sunset Drive (close to our house and UM). It was really cool! Artists had booths stretched really far down the street, and people were selling treats and drinks. We saw some really cool stuff, and now I'm re-inspired to paint/draw!


Then this weekend: Last night my book club met for a social event at Dolphin Mall. A new place opened up several months ago called CineBistro. Essentially it's a movie theater, and the seats are extra big and comfy and CLEAN - and there are two cupholders for each person and a tray table. You are seated 30 minutes before the movie begins and you order dinner/drinks. Then they bring all the food out during the previews, and you can eat, drink, AND watch a movie! It was a really neat experience. Tomorrow night some of us may be getting together for a Beginners Spanish conversational meet-up....should be fun!


Okay, I'll be home Thanksgiving morning! -- Birthday shoutout to William - it was yesterday. Also Mark and I watched Purple Rain the other night and it made us think of Chelsea and William. I miss you all and can't wait to see you!
