I love you mom update: We had such a nice time with my mom celebrating her birthday. We had a family dinner at Sam & Gabes, which I haven’t been to in awhile, but thoroughly enjoyed the Dark Chocolate and Roasted Banana gelato for dessert. YUM!

2012 is days away and the one thing I have to have in place for the upcoming year is a new wall calendar for work. In the past I have ordered an art calendar from the MoMA Store, but last year my mom got me one from Paper Source instead and I loved it. On my to-do list for tomorrow: filling in the new year!
