Randomness and an Announcement

Well it has been a while since I have done an actual post. I am soooo glad that whole Top Blog competition is behind us.

Will you still love me if I don't offer a list of fabulous prizes every Monday?

I hope so cuz that was all Cuh-RAY-Zeeee. PLEASE check the WINNER posts to see if you won something. You have until Monday Jan 10, 2011 to contact me and claim your prize or a new winner will be selected. I am still weeding through email so thanks if you already contacted me and you will hear from me soon.

If you have contacted me, heard back from me and have not received your prize PLEASE contact me again, especially if it has been a while, I will get back in touch with the shop owner to see what the hold up is.

OK, enough of that...

Dude, it is 2011.

How did THAT happen?

Christmas came and went and I have ZERO pictures to prove that it actually happened. I think Big Daddy caught one or two on his cell phone, but that is it.

Yep, I...Mamarazzi, forgot to take pictures.

Lame.

I started to and realized I didn't have a memory card in my camera then never stopped to look for it.

Double Lame.

Thanks to our families Big Daddy and I were able to spend some FABULOUS time in Monterey celebrating our wedding anniversary.

the weather was PERFECT, I never even put on a jacket
My in laws & J spent one day with us before they took off, big thanks to them for taking J for us!
We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium this day and it was awesome!!
of course Coco stayed with us, here I am walking her, I know you can't see her and this is just my back but look at that sunset, GORGEOUS! Our Hotel The Best Western Beach Resort was on the beach and we were on the bottom floor, just a hop and a skip (no jump needed) to the shoreline.
ANYWAY it was a fabulous few days, away from reality in a beautiful hotel on the beach, eating as much seafood and artichokes we could...yes, artichokes...we could not get enough of that goodness in us!!

AND it was time with my BEST friend, I love Big Daddy and we needed this little getaway!

OK Big Announcement time.

I am so excited to tell you that I will now be co-hosting one of YOUR favorite features here on Dandelion Wishes, Friday Confessional.

YEP, Glamazon Mom and I are gonna do this weekly link party together and I could not be more excited. Look at our cute new button...

confession: I totally go blurk on linkie parties but never link up since my blog is private. I'm lame. I know.
Did you guys make an H+P inside a heart out of the ice plants on the the sand dunes? One of my favorite things about that hotel is the love messages in the sand that can be seen from hwy 1

I am such a foodie so I have to ask how were the artichokes prepared? I love them myself almost anyway.

LOVED that beautiful sunset! That was just gorgeous! I just stalked your blog for a while. I went to check out the PINK room. How creative are you? I don't have a single creative bone in my body so you could say I'm jealous.
