There’s a lot of candles. My parents stopped by San Diego for a few days, and since Mom’s birthday was recent, we (by we I mean Rebekah, you don’t want to eat my cake) baked her a cake.

It was supposed to be a surprise, but the glow that starts coming from the kitchen gives it away a bit early.

It takes a lot of wind to blow out that many candles. I won’t tell you how old she is, but I’m not going to stop you from counting how many candles there are.

Happy belated birthday Mom, and thanks to both of them for stopping by, it was great to have you guys (even if you choose Hawaii over us for your true vacation ).

Since apparently there is not enough frustration in our young ones, we now have the “Playmobil Security Check Point“. Reviews are quite good also.

Takes the work out of your workday. Right, it looks so much easier to work on this chair.

The Hawaii Chair:

Oh the irony.

As some of you probably remember I have a minor obsession with shoes.

Today I added another pair to the stable. A pair of New Balance Track Flats (technically they are spikes, but the spikes are removable). They were cheap, and my current obsession is with low to no support shoes (Nike Free’s, Vibram Five Fingers, track flats, etc). Not sure when they’ll get put into the rotation, but I’m hoping I get to get a track night into my rotation to actually use the spikes. The color is also so 80’s it’s cool again.
