first day in NOLA

crazy delicious lunch, then parades all night long.. awesome

Sickie

Bella caught a 24 hour flu bug which meant spending most of yesterday on the couch with a gatorade and waste basket within arm's reach. She's feeling 99% better but still resting at home watching movies.

On my way to New Orleans!

Good riddance to snowy Albuquerque

Valentine's dinner with the Jipster

As usual, we kept one gift card from Christmas to use for Vday dinner. We went to this American steakhouse place in downtown long beach. It was pretty cool- it felt like a upscale but old school New York steakhouse (at least what i think that looks like-since I've never been to NY). This is a pic if my vanilla creme brûlée with berries :)

My Chick Bad My Chick Hood

This is my gangsta' hip hop class at 24hour fitness. It's mostly middle aged White and Asian women and a few Asian men. I love it. For the last few weeks we've been doing a routine to "My Chick Bad" by Ludacris and I'm ready to bust it out at a club. I'm totally serious.

The Usual Suspects

here are my friends hanging out in my office in the middle of the day. this is the reason I love my job, and also why I never get anything done in the middle of the day.

Cheese bow

I made this bow out of string cheese a few years ago; it is still in good form and I keep it at my desk.
