Dictionary.com produces a "word of the day." You can see every word of the day for the last 10 years, it's amazing. Out of curiosity I looked up the word of the day from my last birthday, 8-27. My word is naif, meaning naive. Weird, they sound alike and they have the same meaning.
Sometimes I think things have a deeper meaning then they seem to. Like naif being the word of the day on my birthday...does that mean that I will be naif for the whole year? Blindly making naif choices. Lately, I've felt like things are too good to be true, my life is wonderful. But is it? Or am I just being naif?
naif \nah-EEF; ny-\, adjective:
1. Naive.

Hot Hot Hot
Palm Springs (112 degrees)
Desert Riviera
September 5-7
Saturday, we were at the pool by 9am. It was already 100+ degrees outside. Mom made breakfast. (champagne and berries :D ) It was a perfect day. I stayed under the umbrella, floated in the pool to cool off and finished my book, Save Karyn. We had a delicious dinner at The Falls. I highly recommend The Falls. They have a great prix fix menu, excellent service and it's on the main street.
We stayed at Desert Riviera. Desert Riviera is the number 1 rated hotel for Palm Springs on TripAdvisor.com. It is small and perfect. There are only 10 rooms, (we stayed in #10). It is super peaceful and quiet. No kids or pets allowed (sorry Stella). I will definitely stay there again!
I love sharing my birthday with my mom. Or should I say, I love that she shares her birthday with me? It makes for a very special day and this year Renee got us a very special gift. She named binary stars after us. Binary stars orbit each other. So, from now to forever, in the Virgo constellation, the Donna Kay and Emily Michelle stars will orbit each other! Too cool!

Best Birthday EVER!
Las Vegas
August 26-31, 2008
Palazzo Hotel
August 26-31, 2008
Palazzo Hotel
Here is the video as promised. It is 100% "stop motion." Which means it was made from photos, about 600 photos to be exact! So this "video" isn't actually a video at all!
Music: DANCE by Justice
ENJOY!
(and don't expand the screen, it gets too pixelated)
Abe and I spent the week in one of our favorite vacation destinations, LAS VEGAS!
We stayed at our new favorite hotel, The Palazzo. (This was the 3rd time this year that we stayed here.) We dined at our favorite restaurants, laid by the pool, celebrated my birthday every night, bet big bucks on 22 and 27 (our favorite numbers) and we both came home with more money than we left with! It was an amazing trip.
Tuesday, 8-26-08 Checked in, relaxed.
The last photo of me as a 27 year old! 11:58pm
Wednesday, 8-27-08 Birthday, Pool, Cut.
The first photo of me as a 28 year old!
Pool tradeshow, BetaUnit booth
After returning from a long day, I was surprised to find a dozen gorgeous roses in our room! Along with the loveliest card of all time.
That night Abe surprised me with dinner at CUT in a big private booth. And for dessert....DIAMONDS! He surprised me again, with beautiful diamond earrings! And guess what? I didn't have my camera!! Of all nights, I didn't bring my camera!
Thursday, 8-28-08 Gamble, Tao, Le Reve.
For the rest of the week, we celebrated my birthday every night!
Le Reve, beautiful show!
Le Reve
Friday, 8-29-08 Pool, Gamble, SushiSamba, Gamble, Aqua Knox, Gamble.
SushiSamba. We have enjoyed SushiSamba in Miami and Chicago. So we were excited to see that one opened in the Palazzo!
This is the delicious Kobe Slider.
Aqua Knox, another amazing birthday dinner!
Saturday 8-30-08 Gamble, Pool, Rosemary's.
My parents recommended Rosemary's for a nice dinner. And they were right, it was wonderful! It is off the strip, but worth the trip (ha ha, I rhymed)
Making a wish!
Sunday 8-31-08 Dance, Pack, Gamble, Fly.
Time to go :(
Bye-Bye Vegas
Reading Save Karyn, great book!
Hello San Diego!
I love flying into San Diego. It's the best place in the world to come home to.
These photos kinda make it look like all we did was eat for a week. Which is not true. We actually spent a lot of time in the casino, but as you know, they don't allow photography in casinos...and I don't like to break rules :D So that is why all of out pics are at restaurants. Oh, and Abe made a great video of our trip too. I'll post it as soom as it's done.
Like I said before, Best Birthday EVER!
Thanks Love, I love You!!!

Virgo- August Horoscope
Courtesy of Astrologyzone.com
August is my birthday month, so I was excited to read my wonderful birthday horoscope...that is, until I read it. It's AWFUL! I refuse to believe my birthday month will be this bad. Here are a few terrible excerpts:
You may find out that a relative will be hospitalized in early August.
A trusted member of your staff may leave at the office, or someone you depend upon at home may suddenly say she's leaving. This will put more on your shoulders, so keep that in mind.
In your personal relationships, one very tough incident may be coming up, due to Mars (energy, inflammation, heat, anger, war) in direct opposition to Uranus (explosive and unpredictable events) (ha ha). Here you have a recipe for a very difficult confrontation.
There are other difficult aspects of the month, I am sorry to say. On August 15, Mercury, your ruler, will conjoin Saturn, suggesting news will be weighty and heavy. You seem to be overly sensitive on this day, but you can use this day for good by signing a contract or making a plan that you want to be in place a very long time. If anyone is critical of you on this day, try to take the parts of the feedback that can help you and discard the rest.
Uuurrrggghhhhhhh.
Here's one good thing:
If you were born on August 30 or within five days of this date, this new moon indicates your whole life is about to take off, and it will be filled with many fresh starts.

Virgo- July Horoscope
Several years ago, my good friend Lindsay Brockington, turned me on to AstrologyZone.com. I love checking my horoscope the first week of the month to see what the next four weeks have in store for me.
Here are some things we should look out for:
"If you are attached, you will love the surprises your partner presents over the weekend of July 5-6 when Venus will reach out to Uranus. You've been working hard, and you do need a weekend to help you unwind and to leave behind everyday life, if only for a few hours. "
Yay, we will be at Disneyland!
"This month, you have so many reasons to be excited! Mars in Virgo will allow you to become more physically attractive, so spiff up your appearance! You'll have to deal with the extra fuss, but that's a lovely problem. Virgo is a shy sign, so while others may say, "Gee, that's easy, having lots of attention," it's not always easy for you. Get used to it, dear Virgo, because through attention will come romance."
I did just get my hair cut and colored!
"Your most important day of the month will come at the FANTASTIC, tender full moon, July 18. This full moon will be operative from July 16 to 22 and will light your fifth house of true love for the first time in a year."
hmmm, July 18 huh, that is a Friday. We'll have to wait and see...
"If you want to take a vacation, this month would be a good time to go, particularly anytime after the new moon July 2."
Disneyland!
