sightings | nicole ritchie

i went to the paper store to pick up my wedding invitation samples. nicole was there shopping just before i was getting ready to leave. she was really cute with her big gogs on. silly me, i meant to check out her fabulous handbag.

all the paps started swarming outside.

now that there is a fresh and easy in the neighborhood, there will not be too many gelson's sightings.

walking the red carpet with john travolta

we had a great night at the oscars and we were thrilled to bump into john travolta. i must say, mr. travolta is incredibly sweet and very kind. we also met with amy adams and she apologized profusely to mike because i always sing "a trule loves kiss" to him.

ringo starr at the house of blues with dave stewart

this had to be one of the coolest concerts ever. he played songs from liverpool 8 and included with a little help from my friends. mike and i had a great time...

oh, i got to pick up a ringo for president button too... it looks like the ticket... it was killer to see dave stewart - - - i loved him when he played for the eurythmics.

our family tree

mom got a little sentimental and showed me these that my great granmother (monner) wrote...

lombardia wine tasting and dinner

this was the start of a great weekend at the san diego fancy food show 2008 reporting for chocolate-snob

we are seated at the san diego wine and culinary institute for the lombardia wine tasting and dinner.

the lombardia cheese, the lombardia wine, the lombardia people were just incredible!

enchanted at the el capitan

mike took me on a date to see enchanted at the el capitan. fabulous! there was the enchanted experience after and it was an incredible fairy tale.

mike proposes

new years day.... wearing white, we said our thanks and wishes to yemanja at santa monica. we sat on the beach after we tossed our offerings in the ocean. mike asked if i would marry him. i said yes. we celebrated at hot dog stick.

belinda carlisle and rufus wainright at disney concert hall new year's eve

i totally love belinda and i am a total francophile. it was really too bad that she did not have her songs memorized and that she did not blend in some english tunes so that audience would not fall asleep on new year's eve.

nevertheless, i had a great time even though snoring was provided by audience dolby surround sound.

the los angeles department of water and power christmas light festival

i was a tad bit tipsy this night (a little downtown metro pub crawl at the biltmore, checkers, traxx, and the library bar).... i am surprised the pictures turned out so well. michael took the wheel and daniella rode shotgun.
