* London and I visited my mom in the hospital.
She had total knee replacement surgery and I was given STRICT instructions to take NO photos of her while I was there.
{Smile}.
She is home now and managing the pain the best that she can.
Besides the fact that her new iphone 5 got stolen from her dresser drawer IN the hospital WHILE she was sleeping {CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?!}….she is doing well.
* We picked up lunch from In & Out, per Carson’s request, and headed up to have lunch with him at school.
He was chosen as the STAR STUDENT of his class last week and was on cloud 9.
* Friday night date night with FUN friends.
This was our view on the drive to dinner.

Dinner at El Zocalo.
Dessert at the My Waffle Crush truck.

* Date night Sat. night with more FUN friends.
We tried a new joint that is a MUST if you are local
{OR live in Chicago because that’s where this restaurant is from}.
It’s called Portillos – there’s one at Tempe Marketplace and one in Scottsdale.
They serve really healthy stuff like: chili cheese dogs, burgers, fries, shakes, onion rings….
JUST our type of place.
IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!
We stayed and chatted and laughed for almost 3 hours with our friends.
* Came home and watched Melissa McCarthy host SNL.
