Los Angeles, California: Dave and I flew to Los Angeles this afternoon to celebrate Leo's 5th birthday. I know. How is Leo already five? How is he starting kindergarten in a few weeks? Leo's birthday is Tuesday, but his party is tomorrow - Sunday. A very small guest list this year (his posse and his family) and the party will be at home.
I know y'all have been craving a photo of my short fat feet, so please enjoy. It is a "thing" to take a photo (to share on social media) of your feet on the iconic Portland International Airport carpet... and since I had a "Galactic Blue" Star Wars theme to my pedicure... well, I just had to share with the world.

Be. Very. Jealous. (Of the pedicure. Not the short stubby feet.) So you do not have to email me: the shoe is the Naot Dorith Sandal, made in Israel. (My friend, Tamra, turned me on to this shoe, and I am so thankful to her.) I can wear the Dorith all day and my feet and legs are not tired at all.
So why, you may ask yourself, does a 60-year-old woman - who has never watched even one Star Wars film in her entire life - have a sparkly blue pedicure? Obviously, Leo is having a Star Wars themed birthday party!



Her Brother, however, is such a poser.
