Palm Springs for a day...

March 2011. It's been, well, interesting.
I fell and smashed up my face and it's been raining non-stop. So when I was invited to spend the day in Palm Springs with friends, I jumped at the chance. When I left Santa Monica it was raining, as it had been all night. Suddenly, when I was @20 miles from Palm Springs the sky was blue and gorgeous!!!!
We had brunch at the fabulous Parker Hotel, with bloody mary's, light and lemony griddle cakes and egg's benedict.




After lunch we stopped at the Viceroy Hotel. It is so small and intimate and gorgeous!



Then back to the house and napping in the sun...perfect day and just what the doctor ordered!!!

rain...

I've never been a fan of rain...it always felt cold, uncomfortable, annoying.
Suddenly it seems beautiful and renewing...I'm going with it!

a bad bad week...

so last Friday started off beautifully. I had my cereal with almond milk and raisins...yum. Then I taught a rockin' spin class with fun music and great energy! I went downtown to pick up a few things for the store. When I started feeling a little woozy, I sat down. I decided I should just sit in the bathroom until I felt better and when I was on my way, bam! I fainted and went down to the floor. Unfortunately, I was out cold and didn't put my hands out to protect myself. I landed on my face, yep, on my face!!!!! I had to get stitches in my chin at the hospital and then on to the amazing Dr. Paul Anstey to repair what was left of my teeth. Dr. Anstey was just finishing a 5 hour surgery and started right in on me, which took over 4 hours. He and his assistant, Adrian worked on me until 11:30 Friday night.

Since then, I've had to have 3 root canals and found out that my jaw is fractured so there is no chewing for the next 2 weeks(that may be the worst part for a foodie like me)
I have temporary teeth now and will have to have veneers once everything has healed.
It's been a baaaaad week, to say the least. But one thing that has kept me going is the love and support from my friends and family.
I wouldn't wish this on anyone but I must say it's been amazing feeing so loved and cared for!!!!!
thank you and I love you too!!!!!!
