Where the Wild Things Are Trailer!

Girl's Night Out

Amy W., Kristin and I headed out for a night on the town at an event held at a cute store on Pico called Intuition. Many of you may have seen it in US magazine as they carry celeb friendly items. I really like their jewelry. At this event though we were really enjoying the people watching. Supposedly Jennie Garth (90210) was supposed to be there but she wasn't there when we were. Bummer.

This is why I love LA - Can you see what is on that woman's head?

Crazy!

Chuck Wrap Party

For the wrap up of Chuck, a show that Chris and Rick work on, we headed to Le Deux to celebrate with the cast and crew. It is actually a very cool place with lots of secret balconies. Like always the party was fun and we headed home tired. :)

Santa Barbara Day

I attended a conference called Eco:nomics for work that just so happened to be in the most beautiful place on earth, Santa Barbara. It was an amazing experience and I was able to listen to the President of the Czech Republic speak. Not only was the conference great, but I was able to take the hubby along with me. After the stress was over I asked Chris to find a restaurant to grab lunch at. He really outdid himself with this beautiful french place called Stella Mare's that was across from a bird estuary. It was a perfect SB day and the food was amazing. I would love to have a girl's only party there!

The cute restaurant

My hot date

The bird estuary

It was a perfect date! Good job hubby!

Happy Birthday Jen!

For one of my good friends and also co-worker Jen everyone at work took the party to Nic's, a martini bar in Bev Hills. It is a really fun place with half priced happy hour so we were ready to party!

Jen's husband Nick with Frankie (work colleague)

Then we were able to get into the vodka locker! They give you these crazy jackets and hats to keep you warm. They kind of worked for me :)

The locker was very cold and full of vodka!

Everyone was very excited to take a shot of their choice

Ready

Who knew Cavalli made vodka?

Jen's birthday gift from Chris and I. I used shopping bags as gift wrap. I loved it.

We gave her Chris' trees print.

It was a great night!

A Night at The Room

Chris, my new friend Caroline and I went out to meet some friends at The Room a bar in Hollywood that was in the movie Swingers. It has recently been redone and was a cool place with good music and a great outdoor patio. I definitely recommend it. Link to The Room

I've been ROBBED!

Today someone in Somerset, Kentucky took a fake ATM card with my information on it and spent $423.99 at KMART. I am not only annoyed that I have to deal with replacing the card and getting my money back but that someone violated me. I tried to think back to shady places where I used my card. When I ordered take out? That shady ATM at the gas station when Aaron Brothers would only take cash. Hmmmm. Then I started thinking about what that person bought. A new flat screen? Jumbo packs of paper towels? So I decided to go on the KMART website and spend that money all over again. Here is what I "bought":

Body Image Romantic Sweet Pea Slipper Gift Set - $12.99

Snuggie Blanket With Sleeves, Blue "With Free Book Light - $14.99

Very nice

Deni Professional Meat Grinder - $137.99

1/4ct tw Diamond 7-Stone Cluster Journey Pendant with Chain. 10K Yellow Gold- $101.99
on sale...very nice

Red Coke Can Cooler - $140.00
Can't survive without this

I feel a little better.

Meet Brian & Diane's New Baby Girl!

On February 24th Avriella Yvonne Anna DeCato was born at 5:52 weighing at 6lbs 13 ounces and 19 inches long. When I went to visit them in the hospital Diane looked amazing and I was able to have Ella all to myself! I immediately fell in love and cannot wait to see her grow!

Joshua Tree!

After being with Chris for five years I finally made it for a trip to Joshua Tree. Chad and Tracey met up with us so that the boys could celebrate Chris' 30th together in the desert. This is a special place for them as they have been going together since they were in high school. We had fun tagging along and I must say we both are very good climbers! The boys were off in photog land so we even had a chance to sit up on the rocks with blankets and have some girl time. It was a great trip and I love love love Joshua Tree. I can't wait to go back!
