Happy Birthday!! to me and any other March babies. :) I really had a great day today. It has been raining all day. Not the typical So Cal showers, that start in the morning and stop in the afternoon. It's raining consistently in buckets sometimes. I went to a great little popular Italian restaurant. We usually have to wait to eat and end up sitting in the tiny hall way by the bathrooms. Not today! The rain kept most people inside. I had an excellent birthday meal and birthday desert was Tiramisu. Yummm! Have a beautiful day! :) Kristine 03/20/2011

Wishing you a beautiful Sunday!  I'm getting ready for my open house and will be silently singing, John Lennon.  It's important to sing especially when the weather isn't typical.  Also, there is a pretty big awards show on later today.  Her's to the cold and sunny weather in Santa Monica.   We are all looking foward to watching the Academy Awards tonite.  Off to Whole Foods for wine and cheese after the open house.  Let's sing!  (and learn some Spanish) Kristine :)   02/27/2011
