Fiesta de Paella

The wonderful Bevedly, did it again.
She transformed our home for a magical paella dinner party. In true Spanish fashion we ate late and laughed lots. Thank you Mic and Pic for the masterful culinary skills.




Part Duex...Christmas in Oregon

I was able to spend two weeks in Oregon over the Christmas holidays, here are a few highlights of the trip.

Yes, that's me, starting a fire in the wood stove. Since Daddy-O likes to keep the furnace at a balmy 65゜there is much need for the wood stove. That's what a country girl does.


Mt. Hood Ski Excursion






Fun night on the slopes with the fam. We took lessons and rocked Buttercup.

Pittock Mansion in Portland

My mom and I made a trip into Portland to see the Pittock Mansion. It has an amazing view of the city of Portland and was decorated for Christmas. We only got lost trying to find it once, because of a certain GPS navigator, navigated incorrectly, but alas we found it.

Catch Up Part Uno...

Clear back in November, I was one of the many wildly crazy, women trying to relive their teenage fantasies while watching the premiere of New Moon. Luckily for me and 4 of my other friends we had VIP tickets to see it at 9pm instead of midnight. {Notice special lanyards} Special thanks to my peeps at Nordstrom's.




While standing in line to enter our designated theater we asked a new friend we met in line to take a picture of us (2nd picture)... As you can tell, she was new to the digital camera. After I quickly reviewed the photo, she asked if she cut anything off and I replied "Nothing that's important." Who needs a forehead or a part of their eye...totally over rated appendages.
