Happy Monday! The last few weeks have definitely been busy! But I will start with yesterday and work backwards.

Yesterday we celebrated my grandmother's 90th birthday! There were about 80 people at her house and it was an amazing opportunity to gather all six of her children (and their spouses), all but one of her grandchildren (I think there were 10 of us - and the one who was missing gets a pass - he is on a tour with the British Army in Afghanistan)... AND both of her great-grandchildren were present for the event.

It was wonderful to see my dad's side of the family, and meet some new significant others... :)

Anyway, I think my grandmother had a nice day, though I could tell (and she told me) that she was pretty worn out by the end of it. My mom also went, which was really great.

On Saturday morning we headed down to Monterey for Jeremy's Bocce tournament. I have a few pictures, but not on this computer, so I will have to post them soon and in another post. Incidentally, my camera died half way through Saturday and so I was unable to take photos of the rest of the trip and the party on Sunday, but there were tons of pictures from the 90th birthday, so no worries.

In other news, I have my second to last night of league bocce tonight, which is bittersweet. I look forward to having my Mondays available again, but I miss playing when we are not in season. Oh well, there is always next year. :)

Also, all of my shows are starting back up. Biggest loser, 90210, The Hills, The City (yes, I am a 15 yr old girl inside of this 30 yr old body). On that note, I love that the fall is starting - AND that we have actually had some rain this weekend... imagine that, rain in September, in Northern California. Anyway, we are loving it and it is fun to hear everyone talk about what they were doing when they heard the thunder and saw the lightening on Saturday morning - as if it was a natural disaster or something... we are so funny.

Also coming up I have a fairly empty weekend and I am really looking forward to doing some fall cleaning and some cooking. :) I just had the most amazing pumpkin bread (with no nuts) and I think there may be some zucchini bread in my future...

yummm... :)

Alrighty, back to work... have a great day!
