On Dreaming A Little Dream

I can't get this out of my head!
This Charming House
I saw these at the Kate Spade store last week - the Banyan Stripe Highball glasses. Unfortunately (and perplexingly) they are not on sale at the Kate Spade website (?). I found them at Amazon.
Whatever -
They are cool and I want them and I can't have them because I don't need them and now I have a car payment.......
*heavy sigh*
But some cool person out there who needs bar wear should really go buy them.

Happy Monday
Happy Monday!
I had a perfectly lovely and very lay around weekend.
I took my incredibly stinky Beans to the spa on Saturday morning and then went off without guilt to enjoy Mama's day off, which included cleaning my house in peace, finishing the laundry and getting my facial with the lovely and incredibly marvelous L.A.
I love L.A. There just isn't much more to say about it!
On Saturday night I went to dinner with my darling friend, Sarah, and we tried out Blue, uptown in the Hearst building. I have to say that I had high expectations for Blue and I was underwhelmed. The food and the service were wonderful, but the overall vibe wasn't there. The whole thing was just sort of flat to me. I really think it was the lighting. It was too dark and too light at the same time and the result is that my eyes were strained. I think maybe a candle on the table may have made things a little better. It was fun to valet park the new wheels, though.
Sunday was a lazy and makeup free day (the best kind of Sunday) and I cooked pinto beans and took a long nap.
And I loved on two clean, fluffy and sweet smelling Beans all day. I think they're a little sick of it.
Oh, well.
Such are the travails of their lives - to be catered to and doted on and smooched within an inch of their pampered and spoiled lives. And it is my lot to do it to them.
This is going to be a week from hell (I'm afraid). My boss is gone for vacation and this usually cues the universe to rain down piles of crazy on my head. Pray for me, won't you?
Oh, and stay tuned. We are working on updating the blog so it looks a little nicer around here. I'm hoping by next week we'll have it all up and running.
And have a Happy Monday!

Happy Friday!
It's Friday the 13th.
Big Spooky Friday the Thirteenth!
I have several things to do this weekend. I have to get a facial. I am taking the Beans to the dog spa because they are stinky dinky stinky Beans. And I am trying out a new (to me) restaurant on Saturday night. It's uptown and I believe it to be hip, slick and cool. I'm not sure if it will be all that, but I have lately discovered that I like being uptown at night so I'm looking forward to it.
And then on Sunday, I am getting the (old) car cleaned up and I have another massage.
My body has been sore and achy all week. It really sucks. It takes a lot out of you to get up and go in this heat when your whole body hurts. I am hoping that the massage will rub the rest of the soreness out.
Pout pout pout.....
Anyway.... have a great weekend. Try to stay cool.
And I'll see you on Monday.
