Two Whole Days

Wow. I did not mean to go that long between posts. I had posts that I wanted to write. They were even scheduled in my calendar. But when it came to sitting down and writing the posts, I couldn't find the time! Here's what I did instead:


We went to Barnes and Noble on Friday night and sat and read stacks of books. Here's my pile. 


Saturday morning, I donned my best 1920's dress, jellyrolled my hair (to look shorter), and headed to an exclusive event at the Del Mar Racetrack with some girlfriends. 


I placed two bets and lost them both. Down four dollars. 


And they're off. 


We got our hair done at a mobile barber - like a food truck, only hair. They made us look like authentic '20's girls. 


When I got home, Conrad and I tried a new sushi place that turned out to be amazing. This is the Red Dragon Roll and the Mango Mango Roll. We also got a Geisha roll, complete with a flaming cucumber. Blew our minds. 


After dinner we ran to the store for some milk, eggs, ice cream, and red sunflowers. I love the way they look in the white pitcher. 


We munched our favorite ice cream treat and watched Super 8. A perfect ending to a great day!
