a divine affair

We originally were heading to Barn Diva for dinner but settled for A Divine Affair since we were able to be seated. This hidden gem is located in the heart of Healdsburg, home to many appetizing restaurants. Not only does this spot have great food and excellent service but the decor and live music make your dining experience that much more warm, intimate, and inviting. I'm all about details and this place has it down to the T- from the local artwork of bicycles on the the exposed brick walls, ice cream parlor chairs, velvet seats, plush pillows, tinted teal and pink fleur-de-lys glassware, and candle lights gives out an elegant and cozy feel to the ambiance. As the pianist and jazz singer serenades you to your favorite requested tunes, it's impossible not to enjoy the evening over a bottle of chilled white wine. We were pleasantly surprised to have stumbled upon this cute place and look forward to coming back again. Even though it's not one of the most reviewed restaurants on yelp, it goes to show regardless of so many choices to choose from, being open and trying new things can lead you to what exactly you were looking for :)

i've got a date with the rain!

i'm not mad about the weather since it feels pretty refreshing outside and luckily we took these pictures before it started to pour. i don't think i remember the last time i've seen it rain so hard and driving on the freeway definitely required much more concentration. anyway, i'm recovering from a cold and words with friends has taken over my life. i had another squash pupusa for lunch from pupusa salvadorena. add the cabbage from the ziplock and 2 packs of hotsauce with a horchata and that's what i call a meal! ahhh 90210 is on in 5 minutes! gtg! xo. lol :)

oh wait, one more thing.. i've been crazy about banana nut bread from trader joes.. my room mate and i have baked this non stop- it makes our home smell so good! add chocolate chips and you've got yourself a perfect dessert!

i really intended to see the blue angels at pier 39 but instead i spent the entire days of my weekend at home, part bc the weather made me lazy, maverick has a cold, and my nightings out have left me exhausted.

so i've been feeling a little under the weather too and stayed in playing this highly addictive game on my iphone- which by the way has got to be one of the greatest inventions to date. there isn't anything i can't do on my iphone- and although im exagerrating- i really love it.

i watched couples retreat and they said that technology is just a big distraction.. and if so well i've definitely accomplished that with all the cool apps on my phone. heck, ask any parent with this phone. mav is so fascinated by it, it's way too easy to blog while he's reading the baby flash cards, singing along to wheels on the bus or staring at videos of himself.

and the reason why i'm hyping it so much is because it was a lifesaver for me saturday night when i went to go see chromeo at the mezzanine. we were so close as he performed and got to hang out with him backstage! :) i had no camera- but luckily i was able to take pictures through my phone and it may not be the best quality- but it definitely did the job.

and i know i said it before, but i LOVE these boots. they were hot- literally- (in the tone how rachel zoe pronounces it) so there is no question about it keeping warm for winter wear.

if there is anything i'm happy about besides my super smiley kid that loves to snuggle- i have a queen bed and i have no idea why we always end up towards the very end- talk about bed hog, i had a very non-productive weekend that still felt relaxing and my highlight was definitely saturday night.. oh fun fun fun times!

current obsessions

-> my jeffrey campbell thigh high boots

yes with a heel! and thank god they're NOT patent leather! :)

-> words with friends iphone application (scrabble/literati)

*WARNING- this game is highly addictive- i spent hours occupied playing multiple people all saturday so i forced myself to take a chill pill this evening.

-> abbreviations, acronyms, and other fun words

get your point across short and sweet

hugs and kisses simply becomes xoxo

"vamoose" sounds much cooler than "let's go"

-> chromeo!!!

met them at the mezzanine on saturday and hung out with dave 1 backstage :) pissed that i didn't have a camera- AGAIN!

which reminds me things i'm in need of asap...

-> a new point and shoot camera

i hear this casio is great bc it captures your images in slow motion.

-> a manicure/pedicure

my nails are DISGUSTING right now- one of my pet peeves.

-> the new ipod nano

bc i'm so bored with my workout routine, i could use some good music for the motivation

-> a tropical destination

to get away from the cold since i function best when its 75 degrees or warmer :) plus i could use a tan to last me through the winter.

anyhow, i am currently working on listing a bunch of stuff on my store- so thank you for your patience and i've also got a lot of questions about where i got my popeye and flinstone halloween costumes-- i made/styled them myself :)
