so, first i promised that i would post this weekend. it is 8:30 am on the 4th of july and i am too excited to sleep. so i am awake, blogging. because there is no parade to attend. :( saddness. anyway, totally excited for our party this eve. should be a blast. edith confirmed that there will in fact be a live mariachi band and yeah, that makes it better. plus...it is a theme party. who loves a theme? i do i do!!! so, it is a retirement/happy birthday edith's dad/happy fourth of july party with a luau theme. rad. on the agenda today is finding a fourth of july themed hawaiian dress. wish me luck.
last night robert and laura (roomie from freshman year at asu) came to dine with us. pace had this oh so fabulous idea to dine at the el adobe restaurant in san juan capistrano. i am always down for mexican food, could eat it pretty much everyday with no complaints. as we had never been, and robert and laura had obviously never been we decided to give it a go. best food ever. absolutely fantastic!!! live mariachi band (two nights in a row! super excited about that!), awesome chips and salsa, fantastic food, wedding ceremony on the patio...and evidently, this is what richard nixon and i have in common. yup. this happened to be a favorite restaurant of president and mrs. nixon, as stated on their menu. they often dined at el adobe or had el adobe cater meals at the western white house. so yeah, good friends, good food and a mini history lesson all in one night. i love fabulous fridays!
off to get bagels for fourth of july breakfast. as pace nay sayed my awesome idea to make festive red, white and blue parfaits for breakfast.
happy fourth of july!
katie out.
