April where did you go??

Wow, whirlwind few weeks with visitors, more visitors and a film festival. Whew. Where to begin? So many details. Too many to actually recount here in any punctual manner so this may be a photo heavy post. Let's begin with a surprise show. Memphis. My friends JZ and Chanell were in town and Memphis was a surprise for Chanell. Our friend Michelle met us and we spent the afternoon in utter awe of the talent in the show. Excellent choice. I was so blown away I bought the cd.

We ambled through Times Square on our way back to my place before dinner at Almond in the FlatIron district. Service was amazing and we had a blast catching up with some girl time.

Sunday was more fun in the city after Chanell and I went WAY uptown to a darling little church in Harlem. Let me tell you it was only by the grace of God that they let us into the earlier service. But everyone was lovely and we are so glad we went.

We met back up with Jen and wandered Soho for some shopping as well as a little street fair off Union Square Park before dinner at Mercer Kitchen. The food was outstanding although I can't say as much for the service that night.

It was so fun having these two to pal around the city with. I do hope they come back soon.

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...
