Showered with baby

One of my girlhood friends had a baby shower today. It was different from most of the ones I have been to, which I appreciated because I normally don't like going. Usually it's a bunch of twittering women, making a lot of noise and having really boring conversations. But this one was nice. It was small and intimate and everyone got to really get to know one another and there wasn't all that noise. yeehaw.

And I got her the cutest stuff!!!

I picked out some cuteness from two clothing companies: Janie and Jack and naartjie.

I knew no one else was going to give the same outfit. This stuff is super original and definitely not your typical baby clothes. She was so excited when she saw the two outfits! Everyone asked me where I shopped. You should check this stuff out the next time you get an invite to shower someone with baby stuff!

Santa Monica dinner party

My friend Julian and his girlfriend had me over for dinner last night. I had an amazing time; very relaxing. Theresa has a real talent for cooking. She had the table set up beautifully, fresh pink tulips in a simple vase filled with water, and matching plates and bowls spread around the table. Stemmed wine goblets filled with white wine was a delicate touch.

We started with a caprese salad with olive and balsalmic vinegar (my favorite), and I told them about the movie I saw last week, and some of the new life changes I've made. I think they found it interesting.

The entree was delicious. Check this out: Mostacioli pasta tossed with salmon, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, capers, sun-dried tomato, asparagus, and artichoke hearts(sounds like a special I would have described to one of my tables at the Italian restaurant I used to work at). It was very tasty, especially with the salmon. Which is odd for me because I usually don't like fish tossed with pasta. But she prepared it in a way that it wasn't fishy(hard to do). She rocks.

For dessert, we had this tasty little berry tart with coffee. We moved into the living room with our plates, and hung out, talked, and we spoke about what the Bible says about premarital sex...More on that later.

So, after it hit about 10:20pm, they walked me out to my car in the ocean air, and I drove home, pleasantly stuffed and cozy.

Church is good for me

I just saw "The exorcism of Emily Rose."

I need to start going to church again. Cuz that scared the hell out of me...literally.
