Happy Halloween!!!

Sitting at home handing out candy to the kiddos while drinking wine... Reminiscing about Halloweens of the past.  Some of my favorite memories:

Dressing up as a Playboy bunny before the age of 13
Using a pillow case for  Trick or Treating to hold the oodles of candy
Dressing up as a pair of dice made with a box, some string and black felts dots
The excitement of being allowed to wear a Halloween costume to school
Those ridiculous plastic masks with the "body part" that looked like a colored plastic bag
..... I think I remember Wonder Woman???
Disliking when I got "adult candy" such as Snickers, Milky Way or 3 Musketeers
Really disliking popcorn balls (still do!)
Actually liking a toothbrush and floss (yes, I was a kid who loved  fresh teeth and breath)

Trick or treating was so much fun as a kid... Safer too.
Now, I love  handing out the treats and seeing my friends cute kids on Facebook.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Cabo

Just got back from Cabo with my Mom, my best friend Andi and her Mom. Super pre-retail holiday vacation.  If you have never been to Cabo San Lucas, I would suggest you go. It's breathtaking and fun.

This trip we got into the habit of working out every morning, hanging by one of the 5 pools and engaging in some fun event at night. Dinners out, shopping, walking the marina or sunset boat cruise.

The weather was perfect and the resort gorgeous. Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach- right outside of the town of Cabo and the Medano Beach area. I have now been there about 7 times and never gets old.

Some highlights.... massages, fruity cocktails at the swim-up bars, dinner at Pocho's at the marina...  But...

Best of all, traveling with mom and good friends is always wonderful. How lucky am I!?

August & September

Mom just reminded me I have not posted for over 2 months. Shame on me. So, this post will have a few updates on what has taken place the last 60 days or so.

Napa wedding at the end of July, ok twist my arm. (End of July)
August...
Meeting in Colorado Springs for work. Love the mountains.
Visit from Little Amy in Park City. More mountain fun. Plus great food. Plus hiking. Plus Art fair fun.
50's House Wife themed wedding shower for Cousin Kelsey (I played bartender!)

September...
Amazing trip to NYC with Vanessa. Sightseeing, shopping, walking, eating... Great trip over Labor Day Weekend.
Another weekend trip to Park City. Yeah.
Last but not least, visit to San Fran from Emily.  Wine country, wharf... Fun. With ducks.

Overall, thanks Amy, Vanessa and Emily for some memorable weekends.  August and September were great. Lots of warm weather... Starting to cool down now. Welcome Fall.

Now, to begin October, I am in Minnesota over the weekend. More to come on that later...
Thanks for the excitement, August and September.
