palm springs: the everything in between.

by Janetha on May 18, 2011

in fun with friends,travel

hey guys. i am still sick. i am surviving off saltines, coconut water, organic lemon lime soda and A LOT of frozen yogurt. my fever is gone (for now) and i am hoping to eat real food soon.. although surviving off fro yo for the rest of my life doesn’t sound half bad. thanks for all the get well wishes!  i had this post typed up but was too sick to even open my laptop.  i found some strength, so without further ado.. more palm springs fun.

************************************

when we weren’t eating in palm springs.. we were either shopping for food or talking about food.  here are some photos from in between the meals.

we hung out in the sun by the pool.

special thanks to deb for letting me come and also to eden for hanging out. it was SO fun and i can’t wait to do it again. i just hope i don’t get stuck with the flu next time ;)

Palm Springs sounds like SO much fun! I love that you hit up all the classic foodie hot spots: Farmer’s Market, Trader Joes, Clarks. Those pictures are hilarious!

Weee hee! you used the pic with out well-defined insanity legs!

I miss you too much. I stayed in bed until noon and ate some yogurt and a defrosted roll that was hanging out in my freezer. Super blog worthy.

Ok, I’m awaiting comments to see if there is any commenter I need to “straighten out” ;)

sorry to hear you’re still sick but hopefully you’ll be on the mend soon! nothing worse than post vacation sickness. or during vacation sickness. i was the queen of that in college. i’d take my finals and then be set to go on break and..get sick.

Hang in there girlie!

Missy May 20, 2011 at 4:52 am

Ha! Well my cat would always sniff me out when I went to visit my sister- she has terriers. He would sniff, give me a “you traitor” look and then dis me the rest of the day! He was too funny.
Oh wow, I feel so honored that I even got brought up on y’alls girls getaway. Here I am, a nonblogging nobody (except for my guest post for Eden)! That just lifted my spirits!

How on earth did I not comment on this? What can I say- such a totally fabulous weekend=so much fun! One thing that I didn’t actually say on my post was how our senses of humors totally matched up- not everyone can appreciate my humor. I knew that Eden did as we’d spent so much time together already, but I was so glad that you got it too and that we were so comfortable to talk about ahem everything right from the start! Seriously, you are welcome back any time- whether with Marshall, or Mama B- you have an open invitation. We have a LOT of restaurants to hit up and a lot of cooking to do!
