I drink your Strawberry Milkshake Whoppers! I drink them up!*

*That may only be slightly amusing to you if you've seen There Will Be Blood. Friday night we hung out with Josh, Jami and the kids, which we haven't done in a long time. Those kids are sooo cute and cheerful and edible. I could just gobble them both up! I helped Jami whip up a batch of cupcakes based on justJENN's recent recipe. Saturday Brent and I had breakfast at Jinky's, a breakfast place in Santa Monica. Everyone there was dressed very sporty, like runners, but they weren't all sweaty and I can't imagine they were going to eat big breakfasts and then go for a run. Strange. Oh, if you ever try that place, I highly recommend the crunchy french toast - dipped in Special K before it's fried up. Mmm... We strolled along the Promenade, where I discovered that the sweatshirt I was wearing was way too hot for the 75+ degree whether. Well, hello, Spring. Nice to see ya! Winter, there's the door. Don't let it hit you on the way out. I had to buy a gift for the baby shower I was attending Sunday, so Brent and I went to one of the stores where the mom-to-be is registered. Oh, wow. They make some crazy stuff for babies/kids these days. And strollers? Holy cow. Those bad boys can get pricey, although I could probably lift an empty one with two fingers given how light they are. Brent and I also marveled at a mom-to-be in the store, whose belly was so big that I swore she was carrying a basketball in her belly -- attached to a Harlem Globetrotter! She was HUGE! She didn't seem phased by it, though, even if she was about to give birth to an 8-year-old. That evening we had dinner at Baby Blues BBQ, then swung by the 99 Cent store to people-watch and see what bizarre goodies we could find. Brent got some matzo and I picked up some of these: I love Whoppers. I love strawberry. I love milkshakes. And for 99 cents, what did I have to lose? Well, I've only tried a few, but they weren't nearly as freakish as one might expect. I won't necessarily stock up on them because that could be dangerous, but I'll certainly enjoy this box. Today, as previously mentioned, I attended two showers. The first was a bridal shower for my friend Angie, held at the Scarlett Tea Room in Pasadena. The bride-to-be looked STUNNING in a gorgeous yellow party dress. Her friends and family are all so sweet. And the tea and food were delicious! (Sadly I have no pics of people, just the food.) I left the shower a little early to head back to West LA for a baby shower for my friend, C. Although my time there was a little short, I had a nice time and met some lovely ladies. (Hi Becky and Aubrey!) And of course, the mom-to-be looked fabulous! I came home to find Brent's car, but no Brent. And instead of an "I'm at the beach" note, I found this lovely treasure: You can click the picture to enlarge and enjoy my hottie hubby's notations. Seven hours later and I'm still giggling.
