baby shower...

i was very excited to throw my sister and j their baby shower...until i found out that i had to host 40 of their closest friends!! ummm ... standing room only? we put tables and chairs outside and s grilled some great chicken and tri tip. we also made 4 salads - fruit, pasta, mixed greens and a summer spinach salad. everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves! we had 2 poker tables set up inside so after lunch they played cards while the gals played the usual shower games. i don't believe in tormenting guys to play baby shower games. =) i got some amazing cupcakes from this caterer in the peninsula - they came out so adorable and yummy! i'll have to get a closer picture so you guys can see how nicely decorated they were!

did i mention that s and i will be hosting a second shower this weekend? another 25 people will be over this sunday for the family shower...

goodbye jade ... hello tammy

after 17 years...
230,000 miles...
it was time to say goodbye to jade.
jade broke down on the 680 when s was heading home to antioch. that was her message to s that it was time to donate her and move on to a new car. s has always wanted a truck and he really deserved it since he's had jade for so long. it's a HUGE truck and i have no idea how i'm ever going to be able to parallel park this vehicle!
