the new skinny, a new read, & a birthday girl!

i must say that on monday i finally had a chance to try out bethenny's new skinny girl - the skinny girl sangria!

it is delish! 

very refreshing & a great summer drink...

how cute is bethenny in her hot pink dress?

*****

on the book front, i recently picked up a chris cleave read titled incendiary.  after reading little bee, i was desperate to get my hands on something else by cleave.  so far incendiary is pretty interesting.  it is written by a wife/mother whose husband & son are somehow killed by osama bin laden.  the whole book is a letter to osama from this woman.

happy birthday to one of my favorite girls....

happy birthday giuliana! had to include that little hottie bill! love them!
