Current Reads (or ones I hope to get to soon)

  • Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin. Believe it or not, I really did buy a 750 page book out of the history section that I plan to read for pleasure.
  • Meditation for Beginners by Jack Kornfield
  • Lipstick Jungle by Candace Bushnell

Mom's Coming

My mom's coming to visit me in four days and I couldn't be more excited! She'll be the first visitor I have in Scottsdale so I'm trying to figure out where we should go and what we should do. I've been pretty busy since moving here so I haven't even really done much around here so it will be nice to get out and walk around Old Town Scottsdale, maybe go to the Desert Botanical Gardens and of course, go shopping at Scottsdale Fashion Square and probably Kierland Commons.

She happens to fly in on Valentine's Day so we have reservations at my favorite restaurant here which is Grazie (www.grazie.us). You should check it out if you're ever in the area. It's within walking distance of Old Town and their food is great and the dessert is even better. Be sure to try the Dolce Della Casa. After dinner we're going to do the art walk in Old Town so I'll be sure to post some photos when she leaves!
