Oh, how lovely it was this morning to slip on these little flip flops for enjoying the beautiful warm day...
Perhaps these cuties will go on sale before summer ends...

short poofy dress
Rob just told me we had this conversation last night while I slept:
Me: Muffin, I have to take off this short poofy dress.
Rob: Oh really, why?
Me: Because I need to take off this short poofy dress.
Rob: Are you sure it's short and poofy and not long and poofy?
Me: It's a short poofy dress.
Rob: Ok.
Me: Why are the lights on?
Rob: Because I'm still working. Just taking a break right now.
Me: Ok.
Our conversation about the conversation was this:
Me: Hmm...sounds cute! I wonder what this short poofy dress looked like.
Rob: {kind of sarcastic, kind of honest} I thought how sweet it was that you were dreaming about all the stuff that matters to you. Not all of the other drab details about life.
Me: Me too.
Rob: You were half asleep, but it seemed like you were excited to get back to your dream.
Me: I wish I knew what this short poofy dress looked like. I wonder why it was short?
Rob: You may have been hot or knowing you, you didn't want to be sleeping in your poofy dress.
Me: Hmm... Good point.
As I was falling asleep, I was watching a Sex and the City special feature disc about all of the clothes that were featured on the show. SJP seriously wore the most fabulous dresses. Two of my favorites, that could have easily been what I was dreaming about last night:
Maybe I'll have sweet, poofy dress dreams again tonight...
Me: Muffin, I have to take off this short poofy dress.

some highlights
I really can't believe it's mid-March already...Feels like it was just January. The last few weeks has been incredibly hectic! Monday through Friday seem like a whirlwind and come the weekends, we're totally beat, yet busy. Rather than reliving the last few weeks, here are some highlights, with the exception of my recent girls' weekend in Sonoma...I wanted to share some of my favorite photographs.
Melanie, Kristi, and I have been talking about taking a trip to Sonoma for years to meet Kristi's grandmother. Sadly a few months ago, Kristi's grandmother passed away, leaving Kristi as the executor. Before the house sells, we wanted to sneak in a weekend. It was a weekend to celebrate the way grandma would have wanted...
It was so beautiful! The colors were so vibrant!
Our arrival dinner at Maya, a Mexican restaurant on the Square.
After a couple cocktails, we thought it would be fun to take a self-portrait. Took a few tries though...
Getting some snacks for grandma's house...At the time, we thought this was hysterical...
On Saturday we woke up bright and early to hop on a shuttle for some wine tasting. We brought a giant basket filled with water, cheese, and chocolate - the only way to wine taste I learned.
At the first winery. I wish I kept better record of where exactly we went wine tasting. It was pretty though...
The barrel room tour...
We even got to walk through some of the actual vineyards. Melanie thought it was the perfect place for some yoga poses.
The second stop. Again, no clue what the winery was. Just remember it wasn't really our scene. Kinda snooty actually.
But they taught us how to "mix" our wine.
We went to Cafe LaHaye for dinner Saturday evening. Great food, even better service. This is us with the owner at the end of the night.
Brunch on Sunday was at The Girl & The Fig. Yum!
We were trying to take another self portrait when we ran into a couple of Kristi's grandma's friends. It was really sweet hearing them share stories and laugh at some of their memories.
Our last winery on the way to the airport. Kristi, always the responsible one...
The last tasting...
Some other highlights:
- My girlfriend who was diagnosed with Leukemia was recently a guest blogger on Glamour.com, sharing about her "Life with Cancer".
- Spent time with some college friends. Went for a picnic and saw Glory of Easter
- Went to the Comedy and Magic Club in Redondo Beach. Hysterical! We went with our friends Gino and Rebecca, who also happen to be experiencing their 15-minutes of internet fame with their website: www.RateMyCop.com. Seriously, the website got 4,589 Diggs last Thursday (I guess that's huge) and a ton of coverage last week including Bill O'Reilly, CNN, CBS, and NBC.
- I've now seen every episode of Sex and the City. The intro music still makes my heart skip a beat with anticipation. I've even watched most of the episodes with the commentary feature turned on. I cry and laugh during each episode, and always feel thankful for my girlfriends.
That's about it. We have only 4 days until we leave for Maui. It doesn't seem real that we're going to Hawaii next week. Hopefully, the new Target sundress I bought will make it seem more real soon!
Our condo in Maui has wireless internet access, so I hope to share some of our holiday while still on holiday.

conservation at its finest
I know, I know...it's been a long time since my last update. I plan to do a "real" update in a couple of days. It's been a bit hectic at the Tucker household since my girls' weekend a couple weekends ago. While I haven't commented, I'm reading everyday...I guess my status has changed to a "lurker". I'll be back in full commenting mode soon though. In the meantime, this video gave me a good belly laugh. It's totally nasty, but hysterical!

girls' weekend
It's all about us girls this weekend...in Sonoma! We leave this afternoon and return Sunday evening. Nothing beats a weekend with a couple of my best girlfriends (well, except for a weekend with my hubby, my other best friend).
Have a great weekend!

day 4
I'm on day 4 of this crappy flu. Thank goodness for a doting husband, Advil, and Sex and the City. A friend recently let us borrow The Office too, so there's lots to keep busy with when I'm not sleeping.
This is my 100th post...Happy Blogiversary to me :)

sunday favs
2 of my favorite Sunday activities: serving communion and watching back-to-back episodes of Sex and the City (I know, quite opposite treats, and one more of a guilty pleasure).
Wan said it recently also, receiving and serving communion provides a sense of peace and closeness that can only be experienced through prayer. Our church offers communion every Sunday, but the Sundays where I get to serve communion are a very special Sunday for me.
Sex and the City, well, no words can describe how incredible the show is, but I always laugh and cry during each episode. Nothing beats a good friendship message. For the last several years, Rob and I have exchanged DVDs for Valentine's Day, and this year he surprised me with the complete series! Now I can enjoy the ladies of Sex and the City any Sunday I want!
Happy Sunday!
