Last Wednesday, we decided to stop by Monterey for plenty of fun, sun, and fish! Our first stop was on Cannery Row for some lunch, souvenirs, and sightseeing.
What a party I had last week! From June 13th through June 21, I was blessed enough to have my older brother, sister, and two nephews fly out from the Midwest. Each and every day we did something new, from visiting museums, to shopping, to going to the beach, to even sitting at home all day eating and playing video games! Talk about a super birthday gift! I'm going to have to blog about everything backwards as I can't remember everything and I didn't carry a camera with me on every outing (I have two kids - I forgot it sometimes!).
Luigi unleashes his frustrations about always getting the short end of the stick, and starts whining about it to Mario mid-game. He actually has some compelling arguments here! I feel for the guy!
The weather has been so wonderful lately that I've finally decided that it's time to do some serious gardening! Because of various reasons (most of them being either James or pregnancy related), I haven't be able to do any serious gardening since we moved into our house. It drove me nuts to see weed accumulate and our backyard largely unused. Dan was able to plant 4 trees in our backyard since we had none, but outside of that we only have weeds and lawn.
This directly links to my last post...but I don't think I've seen a stranger Hello Kitty commercial. I think the image that got permanently burned into my mind are those slave swaying Hello Kitty headed Men...weird!!!!!
MAC has gone Hello Kitty. Amazingly enough, the older I get, the more appealing this cat gets. Maybe it's because she's gone from a kiddy-like cutie character to a more hip cutie character. Either that, or I'm disparately grasping to the remnants of my youth...yikes!
The Hello Kitty offerings fall into two collections: the Hello Kitty Colour Collection and the more high-end Hello Kitty Kouture.
Hello Kitty Kouture is intended to be the high end of the collection. Two shades of Dazzleglass, each feature a reusable silver chain pendant with Hello Kitty outlined in white Swarovski crystals on black with a pink crystal bow. Sheer Mystery Powder is packaged in a silver powder compact with Hello Kitty outlined in white Swarovski crystals with a pink crystal bow on a black background.
While the 34-year-old Hello Kitty character is usually assumed to be
a cat, she is actually a girl, according to Sanrio. And a girl without
a mouth, so she “speaks from the heart,” the company said.
“To me, MAC Hello Kitty embodies the ultimate beauty icon,” said
Jennifer Balbier, senior vice president of product development for MAC
Worldwide. “She’s sweet and sexy, slightly edgy, and appeals to a wide
range of customers.
Things to do in the morning: Drink a glass of milk. Check. Brush teeth. Check. Steal dad's shoe and go stomping around the house with it while in your pajamas. Check! You can only imagine how proud dad is that James chose his shoe instead of mom's!
