Laguna recap

(the top pic is our view from hotel #2 and the bottom pic is our view from hotel #1)

We are back from Laguna, and I want to go back. The wedding was beautiful and so was the scenery! We ended up having to stay at 2 different hotels since we made these plans such last minute. Both were great and had beautiful views. We had a great time and now it is time to unpack and get back to the real world.

We both had issues with our left eyes on the trip.... Mr. developed a case of pink eye and when I was riding the waves and one smashed me directly into the sand. There are a couple scratches and a black eye is developing. Mr.'s eye was all cleared up in time for the wedding and mine happened right before the ceremony, so there was not enough time for the swelling and such to occur. (Above: This might be our Christmas card pic.... Below: My in laws and us...)

Off to Cali.

Why might I be posting a picture of these 7 high schoolers? Because tomorrow at this time Mr. and I will be on our way to Laguna Beach! (Plus, Season 1 was by far the best. Yes, I have seen every episode of Laguna Beach... before the entire cast changed.) His cousin is getting married on the beach on Sat., so we are only making a fast trip. Wish we could stay for longer, but we do have these things called jobs.

Real Housewives - NYC

My time in NYC was like a 6 degrees of separation for the Real Housewives of NYC...

First, I saw Simon outside his hotel smoking....

Then, I drove by Zarin Fabrics.

And finally, I had a meeting with a gentleman that at one point lived with and dated Ramona!

Letterman!

I might be a guest on Letterman!

I was up in NYC for some meetings last week, but was able to squeeze in some fun at the same time. One of which was attending a taping of the David Letterman show. So, as I am in line for the show, the interns are passing out sheets for people to give them a "Great Story" for a new segment they are starting. I give them a story of something that happened to me freshman year of college, hoping that they think it is as funny as I do. The next day, I get a call from one of the producers wanting me to stop by for a taped screen test.... they loved my story and want to tape me telling my story. I arrive at the Ed Sullivan studios and they take me down to the green room for my taped screen test. All went well and they seemed to love my story!

Tomorrow, I am sending them a picture of the actual event and then I wait and cross my fingers!

(I am not sure if by telling my story and it somehow gets out, they might decide not to have me on the show.... so, once I find out if they want me or not, I will then tell the story)

Also, if I am picked to be a guest on the show... WHAT WILL I WEAR?

Summer Swap!

So, I am incredibly late posting this, but I loved my Summer Swap package! Mom x 2 sent me the best summer goodies.

S - Soaps to keep you smelling good all summer long

U - Use this headband with your cute new haircut!

M - A mirror for reapplying lop gloss (or sunscreen) while out and about!
