Busy Last Week

I have been crazy busy this past week. Everyday there was something going on. I'm not complaining, but I haven't felt this productive in a very long time. I kinda miss the days were Taelyn and I were searching for things to do, kinda. I am exhausted! I have been doing things for Taelyn's party which has become way bigger than I had originally planned. I just don't know how things got so out of control. I just have too many small details that I have to get together to make it the way that I WANT it to be. There is REALLY NO need for me to stress and worry because I know that it will be fine, but I just don't know any other way. PLUS with the recent earthquake in Japan, the weather here somehow got affected. I have been checking the weather for the 20th since January and it was "predicted" to be in the 80's until this past week, NOW its supposed to rain! This throws a wrench in EVERYTHING! So I rented a tent... easy fix? Lets hope so.

Monday: I cut labels for the "Candy Bar." Todd, Kat, Taelyn, Jessica S. and I had lunch at Red Robin. Then we went to Jessica Hekman's house so she could take Taelyn's 1 year pictures. This was HARD for me. Not only is my baby turning 1 year tomorrow, she smashed a cupcake and got all DIRTY!! I had to walk away at one point because it was too much to handle. But the pictures turned out amazing as usual thanks to JessHekmanPhotography. Then we dropped Todd and Taelyn off at home and Kat and I went to get pedicures while Todd started to BBQ. Dinner was delish!

Tuesday: 3 year Anniversary for Todd and me. I took Kat and Taelyn with me to get my hair done. Now everyone who knows me, knows this is one of my most favorite things to do in life, and I like to do it alone! It was so nice that Kat was there though, she took care of Taelyn so I could enjoy my "Maine Time" in peace. Afterward, we had lunch at Rosa Maria's. When we got home, Todd was home fast asleep. So I woke Todd up and left Taelyn with Todd so Kat and I could go to get massages, my next favorite thing to do in life. It felt GREAT! When we were done, we picked Todd and Taelyn up so we could have our Anniversary dinner at Thai House, YUMMY!

Wednesday: I got Taelyn ready to be away from us ALL day! We left at 7:30 am and did not return until 7:30 pm. I have NEVER been away from her for that LONG EVER! It was hard, but she was with Adam and Alisia, so she was in great hands. PLUS they sent me pictures and videos all day so I wouldn't miss my baby so much.

We 1st went to some production studio so Kat could interview for an internship. Then we went to lunch at one of our favorite restaurants LaLa's. Then we went to the La Brea Tar Pits and Los Angeles County Musium of Arts (LACMA). We had a great time playing around with all the things to do there, then we headed over to get in line for The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. That was a crazy long wait, but we got awesome seats in the 1st and 2nd row. The quest was Matthew McConaughey and all of his cuteness! Talk about a great time. After the taping, we headed home and picked up Taelyn who was oh so happy to see mommy and daddy.

Thursday: We Chilled all day, recovering from our long day out. I did some final stuff for Taelyn's party, then we went over to the Felbergs to have dinner and watch the Jersey Shore, then go out for some drinks for St. Patrick's day.

Friday: I dropped Taelyn off at my mom's and I did all the last minute things I had to do for the party. It was just small things like get pictures for the center pieces developed, put them together, buy ribbon for the jars of candy, call the party store for confirmation on tables and chairs, etc. It was a full day of running around.

Saturday: I got up early and went to Amber's house to help her with her baby shower. Her shower was a success! When I left I picked Todd up at home and we met up with Chaz, Jess and Kat for dinner before she had to catch her flight. We had PF Chang's for dinner and Pinkberry for dessert. What a great way to end a fun and exciting week. My only regret is that I didn't take ANY pictures. Bad me, so unlike me too.
