sunday evening random rambles...

can this weekend not end? seriously. I can't believe it's Sunday night already... this weekend was just what I needed, nice and low-key relaxation with my love. DJ and I had a great dinner date at West Egg on Friday night [their PBJ burger = AMAZING. pimento cheese and tomato jam on a burger was even better than it sounds]. then we came home and relaxed with Ollie. Saturday was our errands day, we made our list and checked everything off - got the car washed, Ollie got a bath and manicure [and smells so good], did some grocery shopping and just relaxed. Today was even more relaxing - I cleaned for a bit and did loads of laundry and we watched some Big Bang and then [quazi] watched the Oscars... 

anyways, the lovely, sweet and adorable Sarah from A Lovely Little Life gave me a sweet blog award last week and I thought I'd play along tonight [and give her a shout-out of course - go check out her blog, she's awesome and is also pregnant with a little girl! :)]... 

so here are the questions that go along with the blog award.... 

What is your go to make up brand?

that's a tough one... my make-up case is full of all sorts of goodies [that I rarely wear, hah]. It used to be MAC through and through but I've branched out a bit. I've started loving Benefit, Smashbox and Too-Faced.

What was your favorite fashion trend of 2011?

real talk: I don't know that I can even name one fashion trend of 2011. 

seriously.

this is sad.

I guess need to start reading some more fashion blogs.

hah.

What is your favorite dessert?

just one? 

you can't be serious!?

I love all things dessert, I can't pick just one so here's a few...

creme brulee, french macaroons, key lime pie...

and...

CUPCAKES.

oh cupcakes. I love you.

What is your favorite color?

just one?

clearly, I'm very indecisive.

I guess red.

[though I love some pink, yellow and turquoise!]

What is your middle name?

well, it used to be Maria but now it's my maiden name... let's leave it at S. for the public blog purposes

The last song you listened to?

does the background music to the Oscars count?

last song played on my iPhone: Dani California by Red Hot Chili Peppers... 

random, but good song.

Dogs or cats?

[bull]dogs. duh!

Something you haven't told anyone (on your blog) yet?

let's see....

we're naming our daughter --

haha.... juuuuust kidding!

you'll find out in 11 weeks give or take... :)

but anyways, something not a lot of people know --

DJ is starting a new job this week!

it's bittersweet because he's been doing amazing work at his current [almost past] job for the past six months and he has become such a valued member of their team in such a short time... 

but the man is just too good.

I'm super proud of him as he's gotten recruited once again...

it was an offer and opportunity that he couldn't refuse and he starts his new gig on Thursday.

love you jiggs, thanks for all the hard work and sacrifices you make for sweet pea and me. 

88 lovie. you're the best.

in other news, I'm crying over Meryl Streep's Oscar acceptance speech.

damn pregnancy hormones.

on that note, time for bed...
