I am DYING over our little terrier, Chuy, in that sweater! It was about 110 the day we had that photo shoot and he HANDLED IT LIKE A CHAMP! And for the record? He was agreeable to sitting on my ironing board for that particular shot. What my kids could learn from him.... :)

It was my birthday, yesterday.

Verrado Grille - 07.02.2011



I turned an undisclosed age, yesterday. It was a perfect day, finished off with dinner out with some of my bestest friends in the entire world. The highlight, indeed, was TWO rousing renditions of Happy Birthday, sang OPERA STYLE. 

Pavarotti, who?
