Monday who?

Going back to work on Monday after a lovely weekend is hard 

{especially with a sore throat.}

So instead of acknowledging Monday's presence, 

I'm going to share some highlights of the weekend.

1. Packages from Scotland! One of my best friends is going to grad school at St. Andrews in Scotland (where Prince William and Kate Middleton went!) You can follow Brittney's adventures here.

Lucy loved snuggling with me and my new Scottish scarf

2. Dinner with friends at Gregorio's (one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Carlsbad). It's not that clear in the picture, but Gregorio's is giving 100% of their profits to the Boys and Girls Club for the entire 2010 and 2011 year!

Have you ever seen larger raviolis?

3. Hand picked flower from B...



Almost looks fake!


4. Potato Cheese Soup, mmmm. I used this delicious recipe that I stole from Ruthie Hart! We had my best friend Kandi over for dinner and I'm so sad that I forgot to take a picture before we inhaled our food! Just envision a hearty bowl of amazing goodness.


5. Kandi wanted to help me work on #1 of my 30 before 30 list (learning to French Braid). Bless her heart for her patience because I had the hardest time. We were both standing in front of a mirror and I was watching her french braid her hair, while attempting to french braid mine by mimicking what she was doing. I actually found that it was easier to practice on her than on myself. If you promise not to laugh, I'll share my first attempt:



I just attempted the french braid at the top, and then braided the rest regularly


I hope you all had an amazing weekend as well.


XO,
