Bedazzled

Had another sparkling weekend!
Friday night we went to dinner at a new Vietnamese restaurant (a first for me). It was actually quite good. I chose a garlic noodle shrimp dish - came out piping hot and it was quite tasty.

After our dinner we scooted over to CoCo County and had a very fun night of laughs with old friends and new friends - never a dull moment in the Wood.

Saturday we met some friends for lunch (one of my favorite places - Chili's). After a great meal, I attacked some stores for holiday shopping. The crowds were out of control. I did manage to get a few deals.

Saturday night we had fun toasting, eating and laughing at a friend's holiday party. As if we weren't full enough, we had dinner at Vic Stewart's - the prime rib sandwich is so delicious - that's my new favorite.

Sunday was a full day filled with Livermore wineries, Hannah Nicole Winery and then a yummy spaghetti dinner with Mona & Peanut. Had another great time with friends and food (and yes, I am gaining weight - I will be on the attack in 2010). We even made chocolate chip cookies when we got home! Tis the season!

Hope you are all enjoying this festive season!

Close to My Heart

I love wearing my heart locket with photos of my girls - they are always close to my heart! Can't wait to see them on Dec 24 - 9 more days!

Yipee!

Calories/Birthdays/Parties

Hi all,

Had another awesome weekend!

Friday we went to our Keller Williams holiday party -- got a chance to dress up, eat great food, socialize and dance. Tons of fun!

Saturday I attacked the day with a spin class followed by cleaning my closet, shopping, meeting friends for lunch, and house cleaning.

Saturday night we celebrated my buddy, Monica's, birthday - had a great dinner at Vic Stewart's. She threw a surprise party for Peanut (his birthday is today) so we continued our celebrating at CoCo County for lots of vino, laughs and cake. Once they kicked us out, we continued the party at her house -- too much fun!

Sunday (with very few hours of sleep) I attacked the kitchen to make 4 dozen cookies to bring to a cookie exchange (may I say it was my first). It was so much fun -- we did tons of sampling, girl time, drinking, and story telling. I was delighted to bring home 4 dozen different cookies (along with their recipes). After the gathering, we had time to see the movie Brothers before I had my family over for our Sunday dinner. Way too many calories this weekend (but all well worth it).

Enjoy your week.

It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air.
