Today I Don't Feel Like Doing Anything...

Loving Bruno Mars and the Lazy Song! That's me today...

It's been several months since writing- I always tell myself I will write more, but life happens and I get caught up.

April was wonderful- Kurd and Steve got married! Beautiful wedding and got to see lots of family. May was AWESOME- went to San Diego for the first time...fell in love with California. I can't wait to go back to SD! It's a laid back city with dog lovers everywhere (my ideal place) and Coronado is a place I could definitely retire...just the best vacation! We stayed at Hotel Solamar and all the dogs that check in are listed on a board at the front door- VIP's (very important pooches) just loved this place! Fun boutique hotel in the middle of the Gaslamp Quarter!

Best: The smell of wildflowers on Coronado (like heaven!), watching Travis fly (pic below), listening to The Fooks at The Field and having Strongbow on tap, the seals on the banks in La Jolla, Hotel Solamar rooms and service, the microbreweries and the Gaslamp Quarter!

Best Restaurants:

1. The Field- Irish pub- we basically lived there-boxty, pint and great music!

2. Croce's- Jim Croce's wife opened this amazing restaurant in the Gaslamp Quarter. Best food and service and jazz band!

3. Filipi's Italian- Little Italy neighborhood- in the back of a meat market. You have to know about it and it's excellent!! best antipasto ever!

4. PrepKitchen in La Jolla- amazing brunch- best glass of fresh squeezed OJ I have ever had and the best Chilaquiles!

5. Coronado Brewing Company- great orange avenue beer and lobster mac and cheese

June was great! We went to Louisiana to visit my Mamaw and Papaw and we had a small family reunion! Great to see grents and sister, bil, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins!! good times! My mom arrived and we had a fun two months! Also had my work banquet and I received an award of appreciation from the residents- loved that!

July has been spectacular! Bday month! I turned 26 on 7/8 and had a big celebration at Armadillo Palace and then the Original Ninfa's on Navigation- BEST mexican food if you are ever in Houston. It's a must. -will have to post pics soon, but don't have them uploaded yet. My mom was here for my bday for the first time in 4-5 years and I had my sweet hubs and great friends to help celebrate. Then we went to Dallas to celebrate my sis' bday!

In 4 days we will be in Florida for the Heaton Family Vacation! St. George Island here we come!

Family competition this year is Top Chef Crock Pot Competition- makes it easier than our five courses we did last year and we can relax on the beach longer without being in the kitchen!

Bring it on competitors! Travis and I are 2010 Top Chefs and we are prepared to defend our title! ;)

Things I am excited about in months to come:

1. Prejeans Restaurant in Lafayette on the way to Florida!

2. Florida!

3. Mallory's baby shower in August

4. 9/23- first weigh in (personal weigh loss goals!)

5. SPI in October

6. Fiona and Murat's wedding in November

7. Christmas in Virginia and NYE in NYC!

Lindsey's Current Favorite Things:

1. OPI nail polish Texas Line- specifically Guy Meets Galveston and Austin-tatious Turquoise!

2. Brookstone Pop-up Mini Speaker- a must have if you use your ipod a lot. We got this as a gift and use it ALL the time to bring to the pool or beach- great volume and sound from such a tiny speaker

3. iPod Touch- LOVE it!

4. Channel Chance perfume- ahh- needs!
