Soccer trophy! "My first person trophy." He is so proud (and so are we).

Rockin' at Cracker Barrel.

Arancini at Olive Garden! We had never heard of arancini until we went to Boston in 2011. We asked the local firemen for a lunch recommendation, and they pointed us to this little hole in the wall place and said we had to try the arancini. It was very different and unique, unlike anything I had ever tasted before. The one we had there was bigger than a baseball and had a meat filling. When these popped up on the specials menu at Olive Garden today, we absolutely had to try them. I think these from Olive Garden (they just called them "Parmesan Rice Balls", I think) are more what the dish started out as: a way to use leftover risotto and turn it into something else. These were tasty, but they can't hold a candle to the arancini we had in Boston.

Met some friends for lunch at THE best Mexican restaurant in Atlanta. It's not close by, and if you don't get there when they open, you will literally wait for hours. But so yummy!

My idea of an early Mother's Day present: going to see Iron Man 3! This is another of the great windows at our movie theater, made completely from scratch (not a studio provided kit or something).

I walked two blocks to lunch today, along this slightly downward sloping street. Doesn't sound like much, but considering how thoroughly I destroyed my ankle about 2 months ago, I consider it rather a miracle!

We tried a new Mexican restaurant today. This is the inlay art that was in the vestibule. It's about 18 inches (46 cm) in diameter. Definitely interesting!

Zoya Nyx. This is one of their Pixie Dust collection that is matte and textured, but still super sparkly. I love it!

It looks tacky, but the foil method is by far the easiest way to remove glitter nail polish!

But I'm so stinkin' cute!

Oops, forgot to take a picture until I'd already eaten half. This is one of the chocolate mousse muffins at Mimi's. It was good, but not fantastic. I actually prefer their Buttermilk Spice muffin!

My first shopping trip to Target in over six weeks! I've come since I've been on crutches, but I either waited in the front of the store or just stayed in the car. Time to shop!

It was apparently kids' night at IHOP, unbeknownst to us before we arrived. Luke requested a blue kitty from the balloon artist, and he was given a companion white mouse as a playmate.

I *love* this nail polish! When I saw it in the bottle, I didn't think there was any way it would look that good on the nail, but it does. This is Sally Hansen Mermaid's Tale (3 coats).
