Busy, busy girl

I have been quite busy over the last few days. Yeah, I know, you are all thinking, “it’s the holidays, we are all busy!” but Simeon and I have been particularly popular lately. On Thursday we were invited to dinner at Phil and Chelle’s. I don’t was to jinx it (if you are reading this, hello guys!) but we are all getting along fabulously. Sim actually met Phil when he was at the conference in New Orleans. Silly boy traveled across the country to meet someone who lives across town. We all have a lot in common, in fact it’s been said that they “are us, just two miles down the road.”

Then last night Simeon and I went to dinner with Lisa P. and Jeff at Marrakesh. It was authentic Moroccan food complete with sitting on the floor, eating with our hands (utensils are available upon request), rose water hand washes, and belly-dancers for entertainment. I had a lot of fun. The B’stellela Royale appetizer was my favorite. It is chicken, egg, and almonds in puff pastry, dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon. I know it sounds gross, (I was afraid at first too) but I was trying to be open to new things, so I tried it. And I loved it! Very highly recommended. Even though our legs killed us by time we were leaving from sitting on the floor for so long, and the dinner was a tad pricey, it was a great experience and I’d be open to do it again!

Finally, today I met Lisa P. and Lisa M. for some Christmas shopping at Pioneer Place. I got most of my shopping done today and discovered a new favorite store: D’Lish. It is the most fun bath and skin care store I have ever seen. Everything looks and smells like it’s from a bakery-they even wrap the products up in little pink bakery boxes! I cannot wait to go back and buy some things for me….well, more than I already did today. Who could resist a pink “cupcake” bath melt with “cocoa butter “frosting?” Certainly not me!
