birthdays and old friends...

This boy had a birthday yesterday!

Since it was a holiday, I took the day off - sooooooo...

HaPpY BiRtHdAy, MARK!!!!

Over the weekend, we celebrated Mark's bday by going to see Ben Bailey (the "Cash Cab" guy,) at the Comedy Works.

Discovery Channel copywright 2006

It was great to meet up with friends and celebrate.
Fun! Fun! Fun!We also took the monkeys to breakfast at a former favorite of ours:


We haven't been there in a LONG time - and we got a gift card for Christmas, so we decided to go.
We had lots o' fun!

I ♥ these little yellow coffee cups.

We used to go to SNOOZE all the time, 
but now they have several locations and they are all waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too crowded and a little overpriced these days.
We still had a good time.  It was fun to revisit an "old friend."


Speaking of "old friends,"
one of my favorite people in the world, my friend Faith came to visit me yesterday.

I haven't seen her beautiful face in YEARS because she moved away to Washington.

What a delightful visit we had yesterday.

And she brought me the most lovely and thoughtful HANDMADE gift... 

It's ME!! (with RED hair because she knows how much I dream of having red hair.)

She's beautiful!!!!!


Thank you so much, Faith! It was so great to catch up with you.
You always INSPIRE me.


Thanks for taking a peek at my weekend.
I hope you all have a brilliant week!
