Today is my friend's birthday. Her husband is in Chile to visit his mom in the aftermath of the massive quake! She has two teenage daughters, one is studying in Spain this semester, and the other one is working tonight. Couldn't get the evening off on her mom's birthday. That sucks!
So, I'm going to surprise her! I already involved two other friends. I'm going to get some balloons, champagne, and some good sushi and we are going to knock on her door at 7 pm. I told her daughter to make sure she doesn't make any plans, and to turn on the jaccuzzi before she goes to work at 5 pm. We're going to have a girls' night out at her house and she doesn't even know it! How cool is that?

Oscar Night
Some friends of ours had an Oscar party last night. The red carpet was rolled out and there were a lot of good food and drinks. So, in honor of the occasion I dressed up in a lot of bling bling...a silvery mini dress, sparkling tights, high heeled black boots and layers of silver chains around my neck. Maybe over the top, I know, but what the heck? Having a toddler we don't get out much...at least not to occasions were the dresscode is dressy. So, I had fun with it.
However, I almost had to fight the toddler for the necklaces. As soon as he saw me all dressed up and wearing the "fun" layers of silver chains, he stated "I want my necklace" "It's my necklace"! This went on and on throughout the evening. Because, yes of course we brought the toddler to the party. It was a fun family oriented event. Luckily there was an 11 year old boy there that caught my angel's attention and finally he forgot about the necklaces.
Our friends hosting the party had an Oscar game in place. We all had ballots with all the categories so that we could cast our vote. At the end there was going to be a price. We had only seen a couple of the nominated movies, so I felt a little lost in judging the them. We had seen Avatar and Hurtlocker, both amazing movies. My husband is great with these kind of games, so even though he had only seen a couple of the movies he won the game. Luckily the price was movie tickets, so I get to go enjoy it too...ha,ha. All in all, we had a lot of fun, and I think especially the toddler who got to hang out with a "big" kid for the evening.

Moms' Night Out
Had a moms' night out last night with some friends. Went to this Mexican little place that had great Ahi Tuna burritos!!! They were even cut up and served like sushi rolls. Absolutely delicious. I also had a couple of beers which I hadn't had in a while. It was a lot of fun. The time just went by way too fast. It's funny how you want to keep a conversation going with everyone, and I think all of us may be conversation starved because everyone was talking at once. We've got to do this more often! Even though I am so fortunate that I have the most wonderful husband who'll always encourage me to take time for myself I tend to hesitate. It's the constant guilt feelings of leaving and just spend time and money on me. And also, my husband does not do it for himself, take time I mean, so I guess I have to encourage him. Maybe then my guilt will lessen!

What Not to Wear
Oh lovely, the toddler has already reached the age where he wants to decide what to wear. I thougth this was a girl's domain! Thought little boys didn't care! I don't remember my now 19 year old son being so particular with what shirt to wear at the tender age of 2 1/2.
There are only two shirts that my son wants to wear out of his collection of probably twenty. There is a dingy washed out white spider man t shirt and a red short sleeve polo shirt!!! Those are the only two he wants to wear. And he has a little fit when I explain to him that they're in the laundry. "We can't wear them everyday. Let's pick another shirt!"
"No, wanna wear red shirt, wanna wear spiderman shirt!" Oh boy, I think I need to take the boy shopping! A few weeks ago he was in the "I wanna wear white shirt" phase, so I bought several white shirts, so that he could wear one everyday if he pleased. Maybe I should go get some red dye and spruce up the white shirts? Just a thought!
