Congratulations to the LSU Tigers! They are the 2009 College World Series National Champions!

I have a second photo published!

Silver Kris is the in-flight travel magazine of Singapore Airlines. They were doing a story on Paris and wanted to use my banana and nutella crepe photo I took in 2006.

I know it is not a huge spread, but I am still excited that they chose to use my photo!

We celebrated my Husband’s 42nd birthday with a 5 course dinner at Posh, a new restaurant located on the ground floor of the Optima Camelview Condos. It was a neat experience. There is no set menu. You choose from the Chef’s Menu, Seafood Menu or Vegetarian Menu then list your likes/dislikes/allergies (veal, kangaroo, oysters, steak, raw meat, raw fish, medium rare, well done, etc). The Chef prepares your dinner based on this checklist. Pretty cool concept, eh?

The Husband chose from the Chef’s Menu and I chose from the Seafood Menu. I posted our courses on flickr.

Happy Birthday, Boo! You’re the best!

We are back from our long weekend in Philadelphia! Hubby’s aunt and uncle from Scotland were in town, so it was perfect timing to see them and the rest of the family.

Despite the rain, we had a fabulous time. Dinner in West Chester. Party at my sister-in-law’s house with family and friends (old and new). Fun time with my niece and nephew. Cute time with UD and AJ and of course, delighted my ears with the Scottish accent. Made a quick run through the city, lunching at Parc and then bar hopping to Dirty Frank’s and The Black Sheep. Fun, fun, fun!

Why is it that I always need another vacation to recover from my vacation?

The Husband and I saw The Flaming Lips last night! The Lips were headlining the McDowell Mountain Music Fest at WestWorld.

I love the fact they set up their own stage. I heart Wayne Coyne. He just seems like he would be a cool guy to hang around with. It was such an amazing show. They ended with an encore of "Do You Realize?".

Beautiful. Dreamed of confetti last night.

(Apologies for the bad quality — these were taken with a Motorola PEBL).

Momma’s got a brand new toy.

I’m still speechless.

See those lamps? The one on the left is from Chiasso and sells for $88. The one on the right is from Lamps Plus and sells for just under $75. Despite the different names, I am pretty sure they are the same lamp.

With free shipping, can you guess which one I bought?

I think it is going to look great in the guest room!

On Friday night, the Hubby and I met up with our friend, Dave, at The Mission for dinner. We were having a grand ol’ time, per the usual, when we found a camera lens a foot from our faces. Before we could even say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, the shutter and flash went off and we were giving the girl behind the lens our stats.

I wish I had stood up straight. I can hear my Mom tsk-tsk’ing away.

My lap is thanking me for this:

Friday was my friend Kim’s birthday and this was the birthday card I gave her.

Hee!
