2009 updates

so i realize it's been a while since i updated ALL you blog readers (ha, funny i know) on what's been keeping me busy, so here's a brief recap of what i've been up to in these first 2 months of 2009:
*went to whistler for NYE (see earlier post)
*spent as much time on the mountain as possible (snoqualmie and stevens so far)
*enjoyed yummy dinners out
*had my company's national sales meeting 3 day retreat AND holiday party
*went to the opening of 'he's just not that into you,' which i thought was adorable
*went to the children's museum for hailey's birthday
*went to palm desert for valentine's day/president's day weekend ~ it was amazing! we golfed, sat in the sun, ate, watched movies, worked out, got massages and relaxed. i want to go back NOW!!
*had lunch with mom and aunt lynn honey at purple. it was yummy!
*got together with some former co-workers. it was great to catch up!
*enjoyed family breakfast for papa's birthday
*have continued my 6am step aerobics class, even though that extra hour of sleep is SO nice

gosh, i'm sure there was so much more but that's all i can think of for now. this weekend, i'm looking forward to a ski weekend with some friends at white pass. i'm sure there will be pictures of that trip, too. but for now, please enjoy the sights of lovely palm desert. on such a rainy, gloomy day like this it's nice to see that the sun shines SOMEWHERE!

pearl

went to pearl last night. it's a new restaurant in bellevue and it was AWESOME! it made me think of my sweet friend, melissa. i had the steak, which was amazing and the house salad. so yummy! a little on the salty side but i don't mind that. it's also a little spendy, but i'll definitely be going back.

and the oscar goes to...


last night, jenna and i watched the oscars and i was actually pleasantly surprised. i'm not a huge fan of award shows but i thought this year's production was great. i loved how they had previous winners say a few words about the nominees in that category. very impactful. i'm looking forward to seeing the reader (i love kate winslet) and benjamin button. and of course, i have to give the shout-out for slumdog. i highly recommend seeing this film. here's a great article on the movie that made me like it even more!
