Catching Up With Friends

Finally got to see my old roomie, Maid of Honor, good pal, ole friend of mine, Ms Caroline this past week. She joined me at a Laker Game in downtown. For all who know her, she is doing well. She finally got herself cable TV (she hadn't had it since she moved) so she's been catching up on a lot of shows (I wonder if she watches America's Funniest Home Videos - it's always a treat to watch her watching that show - she's has this uncontrollable laugh that is hilarious to watch and hear - I should tape her watching the show and send it in). Anyhoo, she's been doing a bit of snowboarding and hanging out with her pals. She looked good and seems in good spirits, which is what one always wants for their friends. We gabbed and gabbed for the first quarter of the game and didn't noticed that the 2nd place Lakers were actually behind. The Charlotte BobCats were supposed to be a bad team but apparently they got one over on the Lakers that night. The Lakers never recovered and lost the game. They did almost catch up in the end but Kobe got thrown out the of the game. When he got thrown out all the other players seemed to give up. It was a little embarrassing to watch. I never seen the Lakers give up like that. Just cuz Kobe is out doesn't mean the rest can't play! Anyhoo, it was only my second Laker Game I've been too. I went previously this year on X-Mas Day. It was neat to go on a weekday because I got to see some celebrities. As I was waiting for Caroline at the VIP entrance none other than Pamela Anderson arrived with one of her sons. I saw the head of my company there and he had better seats than me, right on the court! I was hoping to see Jack Nicholson but he wasn't at either game I went to. What is up with that? He is supposed to be at every game!

This week I also heard from Miguel and El Jefe whom I haven't heard from in a long, long time. Both seem to be doing well. It would seem that Jeff's big break has finally come through. He has several people interested in one of his stories and they have asked him to write the full screenplay with the idea of either taking it to the indie realm or shopping it around studios to sell the script. This is very exciting news and what I have been waiting to happen to Jeff. Break a leg Jeff!!! He has until July to finish the script.

Saw Vantage Point last night thinking it was going to be really good and it was kind of a let down and not to mention annoying that it kept starting over every 20 minutes. I think the rest of the audience felt the same way because every time it started over people moaned. Plus the ending was kinda unbelievable. I am willing to let a lot of stuff go but I must say it was a cheeseball ending. I joined the AMC MovieWatcher Club which is funny to me since I worked there 10 years of my life but hey I am finally back to paying for movies so I might as well get something for all those tickets!!

In other news, the hub and I have taking up walking after work. In absence of any exercise for the last year after our marriage we are starting to see the effects of eating whatever you want when you want. So thus we need some exercise. So we started walking around the neighborhood. Its a good way to see your neighbors and to examine how other people decorate/landscape their houses. There are a lot of great hills behind our house so we have been getting to see some pretty views.

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...

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
