Get Out of My Way


Or my big ass SUV will get you! Yep, Brian and I bought the JEEP Patriot this weekend and it is so completely awesome!! I love it, love it, love it!! My JEEP is a deep steel blue so it's not as bright as this picture but thanks to Costco I was able to get this puppy for under invoice and got a ton more features then the car I test drove last weekend. I love Costco! If you are in the market to buy a new car check out their car buying program. I also love State Farm. I thought my insurance was going to go way up but thanks to multi-policies my new car is only a hundred bucks more than the old hunk of junk (which is being donated to charity). I was soooo very pleased this morning. I never really cared about cars but I must say I am in love with the new vehicle. I can't believe I own something so pretty.

Besides buying the car, Brian and I worked more on our den. It's very exciting to see all our craft projects come to light! Brian made a molding/shelving thing about 3/4 of the way up to the ceiling. We painted the bottom color a light grey and the top part white. We took pictures of all of our friends and put them on the ledges all around the room. This weekend we added our clocks. We have 1 clock for each of our 5 favorite places in the world. Slowly but surely the house is shaping up. The house looks even better with the new JEEP parked in front of it.

Sunday afternoon we went to Staples Center to watch THE KINGS vs THE WINGS. I had an extra pair of tickets so I invited fellow Michigander, El Jefe and his new lady friend, Robyn. When we arrived I had a gut feeling I'd run into Krueger and sure enough I looked up and there was Krueger standing right in front of me. It was a fun reunion with all my Michigan buds.

Also went and saw ELIZABETH with Rhonda and her movie club on Friday. I loved all the costumes in the film and all the great lines. This time around the movie tended to be a bit Hollywood-y but overall, it was still enjoyable to watch in my opinion
(you know if you like history and all). They are a fun group to hang out with. They have been together for years and watch movies every Friday night. Yep, they haven't missed a week in 20 years! I have gone a few times before and it fun to grab dinner and discuss the film afterward and see how 10 different people saw 10 different things at the same movie.

Hung out with a bunch of editors Saturday afternoon at a Pub near our old house. The hubby had a smoozefest thing to go to. I got to meet the famous Rob. Also, had the best beer of my life. The hubby went to the bar and brought me back liquid gold goodness. Cold glass, smooth taste, refreshing. Maybe it was because I had spent the morning stressing over signing the car paperwork?

Finally saw, Jane Austen's Book Club and totally loved it! wasn't sure if it was going to be good and it was.I love going to movies thinking its a chore and then discovering its one of the best films you've seen in a while. The film totally made me want to start a book club.

Tomorrow, sushi with party girl, Ms. Sam.

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

My Favorite Gourmet Trucks

As of last night, I have now tried 18 food trucks! Only 60 more to go! My friends, Krueger and Kristy joined me at 55 Degree Wine in Atwar Village to try the always busy Grilled Cheese Truck! I have run into the truck a few times now but something has always prevented me from trying their food. Mostly the really, really long lines!! This time the hour wait wasn't so bad with two girls to gossip with. By the time we got to the front we were ready to execute our food plan. Kristy took lead and placed an order for 3 sandwiches (the brie, the mac-n-cheese and the rib meat) plus the dessert sandwich and some tator tots!!! I was a bit bummed that they didn't have the sandwich I went for, the Harvest sandwich but the 3 sandwiches we got more than made up for everything. I was glad to try this truck with 2 girls because we split the sandiches in 3rds which was awesome because I got to try a variety of their sandwiches. Now I must add the Grilled Cheese Truck to my list of fa...
