Diva's '09 just finished. PICTURES TO COME!! Mom is really into Facebook and kind of did an overview of each day on her status. I thought it would be fun to have them on our blog. Enjoy!
1. "Heading to Palm Desert for our annual Diva Weekend. (Where the awesome women in my family reconnect.) Goddess Bootcamp. Oh, yeah!!!"
2. "Diva Weekend Report: All girls arrived safey. Pre-shopping trip to Marshalls and TJ Max. (It doesn't count until we officially start on Thurs.) Lunch at Chipotle, check. Pedicures, check. Downtown Street Fair, check. Mandy's toenail flowers applied, check. Karaoke until 1:30 am (mercifully, the downstairs neighbors are gone!) check. Today - off to the Outlets to patriotically stimulate this meager ecomony!! :)"
3. "Loading carbs at Diva's, just in case i get asked to run a 10K for charity. I'm ready."
4. "Diva Report Day 2: We spent the day trudging across the plains of Cabazon like pioneer women. Then home to get pretty for our annual Diva Dress-up Dinner (Over-ate at PF Changs.) Autumn gave a fab Spiritual Living lesson. Then we swapped Diva gifts. A totally indulgent, wonderful day! G'night."
5."Diva Report Day 3 (part 1): Anna and I headed to the gym to try and undo 3 days of calories ( - Not happenin') - while the other Divas slept in. Lily made whole wheat pancakes with fresh berries. After breakfast I'm teaching a "stoning" class. (That I learned how to do for my Ballroom dress.) We are decorating t-shirts, jeans and pretty undies. Dru will be teaching a Diva Water Aerobics class later. Stay tuned..."
6. "Diva Report Day 4: Sadly winding down. Cleaning the condo, destroying evidence of shopping. Church, then brunch at Sherman's Deli. A little more pool time. Then home to our awesome men. Thank you, guys. We hope we come home better women!!!"

Bunny and Joy having a "moment".
On Thursday's in Palm Desert, they do a street fair. How they do it in the heat is beyond me!! We went about 7pm and it was easily 100 degrees outside. We ate dinner at CPK.
We bought bread that weighed liked bricks and cookies that where the size of our heads...
Dru found a raincoat perfect for her! Too bad it cost an arm and a leg...
Dru taught us water aerobics...
Mandy and Autumn, lovin'...
Sh-sh-shoppin'!!!
We had a crazy waitress at a Ruby's we ate at for lunch. She was a riot!
Every year we do a "Diva Gift Exchange. " It's one of our highlights! Dru got a Dashboard Diva...
Joy got "mood" candles and cookie cutters...
Mandy got a travel jewelry holder and a bag with her picture on it...
Dru reading from the Diva manual...
Ren got a Diva bag that Autumn made...hello!!
Anna got some perfumes and lotions...
Monica got some handmade cards that Michele made... too cute!!
Michele received a necklace from Monica...
Autumn, a beach bag and towel from Mandy...
We do a few lessons every year. Bunny did a lesson on "What I Wish I'd Known When I was Your Age." It then went into "Loving Your Husband" by Dr. Dru. Interesting stuff...
Anna brought fruit baskets to make...
Every year, Monica does everyone's hair and make up...
Autumn figured since we were getting made over, she'd take pictures of us! She is brilliant!!! Everyone's shots were to die for!!
While waiting to take our pictures, Ren brought bags for us to decorate! So much fun!
Some of Autumn's brilliance...(Ladies, send me your best or post them yourselves!)
Our final dinner. Always a sad event because we know the weekend's almost over!
Lad-uhs...you are beautiful! VIVA LA DIVA!!!
