Ich kann es Juni nicht glauben!

Can't believe it is June already! In 26 days we will celebrate one year of being homeowners! I must say I was very worried about purchasing a house. Seemed like a lot of responsibility. But like most things you are initially scared of, they aren't so bad once you do them. It's really great to have a place and a plot of land you can call your home.

Anyhoo, had an awesome night out on the town last night! Believe it or not, we have made friends with another Montez and it was his birthday last night at The Red Lion. The Red Lion is a German bar we have frequented a lot in past years, mostly due to our pal Krueger. She loves that place (cuz, she is second generation German) and usually celebrates her birthday there.

Last night was a surprise party and the story they told the birthday boy as to why he had to go there was quite interesting. Apparently, he was told he needed to move a couch from his girlfriend's, friend's house to his girlfriend's house. But when his buddy who was helping him went to pick him up, the buddy realized he didn't have the keys to the girl's house so he had to call the girl (who was having a girls night out at the bar out) to go pick up the keys at the bar. I guess Birthday Boy totally bought the whole thing because he seemed genuinely shocked when we yelled "Surprise!"

Since a trip to The Red Lion didn't seem right without Krugs we invited her to come along. I had a blast hanging out with Krugs while Brian chummed it up with the guys. We started talking to this girl Ginger and were talking for quite a while when we discovered she just moved here from Michigan and that she was from Okemos (which is the next town over from where I am from). When Brian came back and learned about Ginger's origins said "You people seem to flock together!" It's true, Krugs and I do have a habit of running into a lot of people from Michigan.

Krugs who didn't know anyone, ended up buying the whole table a round of Jager Bombs joking "the best way to make new friends is to buy them liquor!" She immediately became a hit (not that she needed the liquor, she was already a hit) and Montez 2 was so surprised (again) that a stranger would buy him and his friends a round of shots.

Birthday boy had 2, yes 2, "boots (a glass that is shaped like a cowboy boot) full of beer to celebrate the occasion. Each boot contains about 4 to 5 large steins of beer. I heard he had to work today so he isn't going to be happy this morning. I am not even sure why I am up? If my stupid blackberry hadn't beeped I am sure I'd still be in bed. But once I am up I am up. I am sure a nap is in my future this afternoon.

Time sure flew by fast last night. It's been a while since we had that much fun! We were planning to eat some schnizle but the kitchen closed by the time we remembered so we ended up going to one of my favorite late night places in Burbank, Bob's. Yep, the Original Bob's Big Boy. I used to go there all the time with my girlfriends in my PJ's after a late night of partying. They sure do have a good burger!

After settling our growling tummies with some beef and cheese we headed out. I couldn't believe I had stayed up so late! Said goodbye to Krugs as I knew it would be a while before I saw her again. She's starting anew gig so I won't see her for like 6 weeks until she is done shooting. Once she gets immersed in a gig she immersed. So I probably won't see her till Girls Weekend in Vegas which I totally can't wait for!

Thanks for the fun night out Montez 2 and Glücklicher Geburtstag to you!

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 ...

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...

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...
