Cake:

We tasted some delicious options, but I think we're going to go with Tres Leches w/ Strawberries... YUM

PastelerĂ­a
The corner of Constituyentes Avenue and 25th Avenue
Playa del Carmen

Wer'e Back

Dave and I had a great time in Playa! It is definitely our type of kinda place... a laid back town with BEAUTIFUL beaches,tons of great restaurants and bumping nightlife. Actually we really didn't experience any of the nightlife ourselves, but it looked like fun from afar ;) We did however catch up on the last season's finale of Lost.

I'll post pics once we get them back from being developed. We forgot our camera battery so we kicked it old school with a disposable camera.

Outfit

I think I've found my outfit for our engagement pictures (thanks, Tara).I was lucky enough to go to Banana Republic on the one day that everything was 30 % off. I'm still not 100% sure about the jacket, but I love the skirt.

Last Saturday at Shea

Dave and I have had Mets Saturday season tickets for the past two years. This past Saturday was our last game at Shea Stadium. They are tearing it down after this season and building a new stadium, Citi Field.

Here are some pictures of our last game...

Engagement Pics 10-12-08

Dave and I have booked Agaton Strom! We're taking our pictures on October 12, 2009 (the weekend we get back from Mexico). This weekend we are going shopping for our outfits.

I love this look for Dave...



I have no idea what I'm going to wear...I'll know it when I see it. I'm meeting up with my friend Tara on Sunday to find the perfect outfit.

Martha Stewart: How to Fold a Fitted Sheet


I receive daily tips from Martha Stewart.com and I thought this one was worth sharing...

This technique yields a fitted sheet that will lie flat in the linen closet. (Instructions are for a right-handed person; reverse them if you're left-handed.)

With the sheet inside out, place one hand in each of two adjacent corners.

Bring your right hand to your left, and fold the corner on your right hand over the one in your left, so the corner on top is right side out. Next, reach down and pick up the corner that is adjacent to the one that was in your right hand (it will be hanging in front), and fold it over the other two corners; this third corner will be inside out.

Bring the last corner up, and fold it over the others so it is right-side out.

Lay the sheet on a flat surface, and shape as shown. Fold two edges in, so all the elastic is hidden.

Fold the strip of fabric into a rectangle. Continue folding until the rectangle is the size you want.

Thanks Martha!
