Fun and Food Porn

Went to Palm Springs this weekend to get away with some friends. There was sun and fun and lots of great food. B and I did a run Saturday morning. We ended up going about 4.5 miles which was about 4.5 miles more than I had intended for the weekend. But it was good for me. No real plan, which made for a nice run past cool Palm Springs architecture and taking in the fresh air was a good way to start the day. But the real business of the weekend was pool and eating. Goodness we had some good meals. I won't even bother with the details, but i will let the photos tell the story. Enjoy.


It started with tacos at Las Casuelas as we pulled into town.



We had reservations at Spencer that evening and it was a free for all. Excellent all the way around.





There was sharing and caring. Short Ribs, Steak and Halibut. A sample of the desserts.....Coffee, Carrot Cake and Creme Brulee.






Day 2 started with breakfast by the pool after said run. Frittata and my first ever full cup of coffee. French Press with lots of sugar and milk. Not so bad. Maybe I am turning over a new leaf. Hmmmm Sadly no photo proof of this new leaf. We didn't really have lunch that day as most of the day was spent lounging by the pool. And we had the Taco bar coming to the patio of Room 235 so we didn't want to spoil our dinner. Let me say friends that if you ever find yourself at the Ace, this is the way to go for one of the nights. It was amazing and there was so much food. Take a look see for yourself.








And last but not least, breakfast this morning before heading back to the bubble. King's highway was calling our name with the siren song of Linda Fabulous. Well, that and the coffee.

Panama Day 5-Howard

This was the most surreal hour and a half of the whole trip. We made our way out to Howard Air Force Base (which is no longer an AFB) and found our old house. Just looking at the photos I get emotional all over again. Not that I broke down crying or anything but it was really weird standing in a place that holds so many memories.  Here is me freaking out that we found it!!! Our old Street! Coffey Avenue! Exploring the old digs!  This stairwell led up to the door in the kitchen. It was a little creepy so I just filmed from where I was.  :-/ I don't do creepy. Here we are in front of 60A Coffey Ave!    That "hill" behind my mom seemed so much bigger when we lived there. I remember my dog running down it and tripping, which led to a head over heels tumble that still makes me laugh when I think of it. And that fence used to be a favorite spot for three toed sloths to hang out.  ...

Coat Week-Day 7

Well I missed a few days even though I had these in the can. Ooops. Here is Day 7 of Coat Week and I saved the best for last. I think this is by far my most favorite coat. I love the color, I love the shape and details. I got it here in New York a few years ago from Banana. It was on sale and I have never regretted spending that money. I wear it all the time. It hasn't aged at all and neither has my love for it. What do you think? Coat-Banana Republic, Top-F21, Sweater-UO,Jeans-Uniglo, Boots-Wild Diva

Last long run

Well today was the last long run until the big marathon next week in San Francisco. Half the team is running the Long Beach Race tomorrow and my running partner is in Seattle so I decided to sleep in this morning and skip the final team run. I am kinda tired of running in Irvine and I really wanted to sleep in a little today so I made plans to run Back Bay in Newport instead. It was nice to get a good night's sleep and wake up without the alarm when it wasn't pitch dark outside. I called my friends Holly and John and they offered to ride bikes with me while I ran, and I am not one to turn down company, so I headed to their place and we took off. John was even pulling Chloe in the bike buggy. I don't know how he got up some of those hills pulling that thing. Give me running shoes any day. It was nice and overcast and the run was pretty uneventful. We all just chatted and kept it going forward. We turned around at 4 miles which just "happened" to be at the bottom of...
