New Hair

 I am a little sick of the pink hair, so I'm ready to get something new. I was hoping to get a kind of silvery gray hair, so I went to a fancy salon and showed them my vision. 

Unfortunately for myself, what I wanted was a no go because of the pink that was still struggling to stay in the middle of my hair. It said it was supposed to wash out and it did ... from the top of my head and the bottom of the hair, but the middle was still pink, smh. So I went in and after several hours there, and lots of panicking as I was going, finally, it came to an end. 

Not bad, not bad. Not exactly as lightly silver as I wanted it, but hey, it's pretty close! 

Now I probably just need to go back for one more attempt to get rid of the pink completely and hopefully go for silver. 

Last Brunch

 Since our flight is in the afternoon today, we had a bit of time this morning, so we met up with my cousin and Lady G. We went to a new (to me) place and it was so good. While we waited for our food, Lady G played with the filters on Snapchat. 

I got the flight of pancakes, and they were absolutely huge and very delicious. I'll be sad to see Utah go but I do miss my tiny dog and my house. 

Utah Weekend

 With this weekend being Labor Day, we decided to extend our trip out to Monday, so we had today for fun and games. We went to the worlds biggest Costco, which is located in Salt Lake City. And yeah, it was huge. We had so much fun wandering around. Then of course we had to grab lunch. 

That evening, the grownups played D&D, but since that's not my scene, I worked on my tutu for my upcoming Disney race, and ended up finishing it! I'm glad, the race is this next Sunday, and I was nervous about getting it done. Overall, a real fabulous short weekend with my best peeps. 

Banana Ball!

 Y'all, I have fulfilled a life bucket list. I got to see the Savannah Bananas in person. They came to Utah, and we happened to score some tickets. We got the max - which meant we could have 8 other people with us (Me and Husband being the original 2) So we grabbed our best pals, and hit the stadium. It was a great night! 

A top night and I hope to do it again someday! 

Weekend of Fun

 Since we all have Disney passes, since everyone was here for the weekend and the park had availability, we decided to take advantage and get in a day at the parks. The nice thing about having a pass is we don't have to do the sun up to sun down day, you can just go in for whatever time you want. So we headed in, had some food and snacks and rode some rides, pretty casual. 

Poor Husband dragged on Guardians, he does hate that ride but he's a good sport. 

When we got back from the parks, we decided to have an evening of pampering, with a package my cousin sent along. 

Such a fabulous weekend! 

Happy Birthday to Me!

 Today was my birthday, and I had the day off from work even, how fun! Husband told me he had a meeting in the AM but then he'd be home for us to have some fun. 

That man tricked me. 

He had surprised me by flying in my besties and we all had a fun day. First we had some breakfast at Snooze, I do love that place. 

Then we headed over to Splitsville, in Downtown Disney, I have wanted to go bowling there this whole time and never had the chance. They gave me some ice cream there, how fun! 

We had a lot of fun bowling, I do love to bowl. Husband surprised me by bringing in some Cali friends with my Utah friends, how fab. 

Then, Husband made me my fav cake - yellow with chocolate frosting. 

What an amazing day! Thanks to Husband for all this planning! 

Linkdn For Babies

 Apparently, my brother in law was taking some new pictures for his job/Linkdn, whatever, and Epifanio saw this happening and wanted to get in on this action. 

Come on, how cute is this baby?! 

Radio Lego

 This weekend I worked on a new Lego set - a radio! It was v fun and a short build also. 

And the fun part is, this actually works! There's a little pre-recorded piece in the radio that when you turn the knob, it pushes a button and some old-timey radio talk comes out, its so great. 

Yikes!

 This weekend, I realized that I signed up for a half marathon that's gonna be in 3 weeks. So I went for a longer run today (10 miles) just to make sure I could do it with no issues. And good news, I could! I finished running and pulled off my socks and ...

OUCH

Where the heck did it even come from?! Its in such a weird spot!!

Luckily I have 3 weeks to heal, oof. 

Bumblebee Lego

 I probably am blitzing through Lego sets it seems, but these ones are all the small ones that I'm getting done haha. Today is the newest Transformer set - Bumblebee. It was a BEAST. Probably my least favorite Lego I've done haha. 

A simple car! 

BUT WAIT!

Hehehehe fun.

Back to School 2024

 I can't believe it's back to school time already. Its mid August! It's too early! 

It's Epifanio's first year, this tiny baby is in kindergarten! How?!

I'm not ready for these men to be this old. 

The Olympic Muffin

I don't know who's been keeping up on the Olympics on social media, but there has been a TikTok star of the Olympic games, and its not an athlete. It's a muffin. Apparently there's a chocolate muffin that is delicious. A Norwegian swimmer has already made like ... 15 videos based on it so far. So today, I gave it a try. I got the recipe made and scooped it into some liners.

Then I baked them and after baking, filled them with a chocolate ganache. 

And HOLY COW these are delicious!!!! I understand it! 

And here is the recipe!

Little Mermaid Castle Lego

 Today I finished a tiny tiny Lego. I love these small Lego sets because they finish so quickly. 

Lord of the Rings: Barad-dur Lego

 Today, I finished a piece that I've been working on FOREVER. At least, that's how it seems. 

Its the Lord of the Rings Barad-dur set. It quite large, too! 

Unfortunately, I can't convey size here, but it is BIG. 33 inches tall. A doozy. But finished! Thank goodness. 

Quick Jaunts to Disney

 I am fully aware that most of my pics that happen now are when we're at Disneyland (because honestly, we barely leave the house and when we do its Disney) so it seems like we're always there and that's ... neither true nor false. But today we did a quick afternoon here, which was so so fun. 

Come on, how cute is this sundae?! 

And of course a bonus Epifanio in my same ears, at his house, 

The OC County Fair

 Now that we've lived here for nearly 2 years, I thought it was high time we went to the OC County Fair. 

Okay to be fair, we did want to go last year but we ended up catching Covid on the weekend we had tickets, alas. So this was the year! 

We watched pig racing, so cute! 

Obvs I had to get a "crazy shake" ... which wasn't as good as I had hoped, alas. 

Of course gotta snap a pic of the homies.

What a fun time! Can't wait until next year!
