Shakespeare in the Park...

I know you might be thinking, "Shakespeare in the Park, in Miami?"
Yes folks, we have some culture too....

Last weekend I dragged Mariza, Bea, Michael, and Frank with me to Barnacle Park to watch the production of Taming of the Shrew.

We had a fabulous time! The park is lovely, we brought snacks, and beach chairs; many people had blankets and towels to sit on. The acting was great and the singing too. Even the weather cooperated it was a cool 70 degrees. I didn't bring the Snuggie, but my sweater was fine.
It was a nice, free, family style event.
Glad I went., I'll definitely go again!

The cold reaches Miami...

The new year and new decade starts chilly!

So many of you in the north think that us South Floridians are whinny but MAN its cold! It was 37 degrees last night! Tonight it is going to be around 29! For those of us who usually wear scarves and flip flops, we are scrambling to layer up and using our heaters.






So in honor of the weather, I used the recipe that Apartment Therapy's The Kitchn has of Split Pea Soup!

I was lucky enough to have a ham bone left over from our Christmas dinner!

I found these designers when I went onto my new favorite blog, Apartment Therapy.

Wheeler Kearns Architects, OMG they have such beautiful designs!

Can you imagine a library like this in your house!




Or a Home Theater!

Fashion...

While I'm not a huge fashion follower I caught a new story this morning on the "Today Show" (I love Matt Lauer) and they were doing a story on Michelle Obama's fashion..

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

Jason Wu's spring line came up and I caught a glimpse of the cutest purple polka dot dress:




I love it!!!! I wish i could afford it.. hmmm.. too bad...

THE FRAY!

I love The Fray's new self titled CD. It has beautiful songs like Syndicated, You Found Me, and Say When.
Check it out at their website.

AOL is also featuring it on their full listening party.

Mushroom

I walk past this mushroom everyday in the parking lot and I loved the colors so much I decided to take pictures!

The 3rd Annual Holiday Ornament Swap

This year I decided to join Freshlyblended's Ornament Swap.

Just a friendly reminder for everyone to get out and vote! It is super important to do your civic duty, so exercise your right to vote, no matter who you vote for!


I stood in line for two hours at the early voting site but it is so worth it!
