Rancho Las Palmas

Our hotel was amazing, from the ridiculously friendly service (includes being given a tour of the 30-acre property in a golf cart, and being offered frozen grapes while we swam in the pool) to the ducks that crossed our patio every morning. Yes, this is the life.

Practically Drowning in Palm Springs

Yet still looking very relaxed.

Inspires My Inner Chef

We did so much work on our kitchen over the weekend, see? Note that the green wall looks much lighter here than it actually is; in person, it’s deeper, more olivey, more... appetizing.

No Gas

You know times have changed when you pull into a gas station and the cashier comes out of his store waving his arms and shouting, “We’re out of gas!”

Baby, We’re Not Getting a 60-Inch TV

Phrases that came out of Eric’s mouth while browsing the TV aisle:

“Honey, you can’t think of it as a TV. Think of it as a wall! It’ll be the cheapest wall we own.”

“If we’re going to spend a few hundred, we might as well spend a thousand.”

“That screen is tiny! Isn’t that screen tiny? I can’t even see it. I’m squinting.”

“Okay, maybe that 60-inch TV is a bit too big for our place. The 42-inch will have to do, I guess.”
