Study in contrasts

All of a sudden she's big enough to sit in the chair at the hair cut place all by herself. No fear. Complete opposite from the dentist just a few hours ago. She never ceases to amaze me.

Gigi's Baby Shower

Image
Even though I had barely done any planning with the exception of sending out the Evite , I did manage to pull off a very nice baby shower for Gigi. We did it at Essencha Tea House on Madison because we were too many to do it at the Bonbonerie . I got some decorations at Factory Card Outlet and recycled some other ones from Ida's baby shower last September. We had a great showing and the food at Essencha Tea House was really great. I had to bring Gabi with me because Jose had a soccer game but she did OK, even though she was a little tired because she skipped her afternoon nap. In any case, if anyone has a baby or wedding shower to plan, or just wants to go to eat at a nice place, I highly recommend Essencha Tea House . Oh, and the best part is that they serve breakfast all day, which as any friend of mine can bear witness to, is a HUGE plus for me. Speaking of which, after we got home and Gabi finally napped, we went to Boston Market followed by Graeter's . And tha...

Climbing the corporate ladder

Everyone knows I've been having my Office Space moments more and more often lately, mostly due to my job disappearing and my new job not starting until about a month from now. Among other things, I have decided that not only will I catch up on my reading, but I will also use the internet to talk with old friends and exponentially grow my number of blogs and time spent on Facebook. But most importantly I decided I was going to take advantage of my $22 a month gym membership here at work to get in shape over the next month.

So yesterday I did a crazy elliptical workout with my workout buddy and today we did yoga. I usually try to workout at the end of the day so that I can go home afterwards and not have to shower or change here at work. But after yoga today (which was during lunchtime) I decided you know what, I'm not going to change back in...

Happy Easter!

Image
This is the first Easter we ever spend in Peru.  There was so much activity going on this weekend I'm pretty exhausted, especially trying to move at the same time!  But the kids had a blast.  First of all we had the whole family down here on Jose's side - his brother and their whole family as well as Jose's Dad.  We couldn't fit all those people in the beach house so we had to rent a beach house just for the weekend.  We drove down on Wednesday night after work since Thursday and Friday were holidays down here (no work!).  Thursday started with family tennis between all the cousins and Friday started the same way followed by volleyball and football. It was also Jose's brother's birthday on Friday and Jose's sister birthday on Saturday. Saturday was jam packed with activities.  First the running of the bulls (where hubby got poked on his side by a bull with a pretty mean streak, but I hurt him even more after the whole thing was over!), then a...
