So my recent celebrity sightings….my friend and I had dinner at an italian restaurant.  Really good italian food but space is small and tables are close together.  As we were finishing our meal heading into dessert…walks in a really tall man so I look up too see who it is and it’s conan o’brien!!!!  I was speechless….all I did was kick my friend under the table.  To make things worse….he came and sat next to our table (remember the tables are close together)  I couldn’t help but stare.  The sad part is I have no pictures to prove.  I was too chicken to ask and he was having dinner so I didn’t want to be rude….sigh.  Maybe another time.  My next celebrity sighting….I had lunch for my friends birthday at the tavern. I turn around and I see Giada!!!  I love watching the food channel and I especially love her show!  We waited until she was done eating to snag a picture with her.  She was so nice and friendly….just like how she is on t.v.!  I again was too chicken to ask so my friend did it for us! 

A few weeks ago was my friend G’s birthday.  Being a mother to be, she wanted to do something low key and cool.  The I.E. is just torcherously and ridiculously hot.  We had lunch at benjarong with friends followed by a lazy afternoon at the pool.  Her hubby cooked up a storm of veggie burgers, peach and avocado salsa, garlic fries and lemonade.  Birthday cake was chocolate cake with raspberry filling from cakerybakery.   It was SO good!  Happy Birthday Grace!  I’m beyond elated that I’m going to be an auntie.
