Ramblings of a Crazy Woman

So this morning I was having a discussion with my boss when all of the sudden my desk moves to the left and then to the right and it wasn't no baby move, it was like a huge shift!!!! Then the entire floor, as in the entire 4th floor (the top floor) of my building started shaking and swaying back and forth. It took us about 15 secs to realize what was going on and my boss told me to get up and get in the the door frame. Everyone was hugging their door frame and little Emily was under her desk. The whole thing lasted under a minute but I was freaked out!!! I have experienced a few small quakes in the past but never one like this. My building is on rollers and boy, did we have a good shake! It ain't fun rolling back and forth and knowing you are a couple stories up in the air! Luckily, 5.4 wasn't big enough to knock a lot of stuff off the walls (except a picture frame in my boss' office). I was already frightened that the walls were moving. Not sure if I could ...

Thanks to my pal Miguel, who stopped by our house last night and brought his friend, the cute, Maria. He took us to a Peruvian Restaurant in Eagle Rock for dinner, helped us pick out some "on Sale" DVD's at Blockbuster and had fun chatting at our house afterward. Thanks for helping me start to get rid of my "What's Next? disease this week with your two home visits. Miguel also stopped by this past Sunday to give us a tree. He works for a studio too and for Earth Day they gave all the employees trees. Miguel asked me if I wanted his tree for our house and I said yes. He tried to bring it to us once but we weren't home and then the heat attacked it. I was very impressed with his skills in bringing the tree back to life. It's impressive when you see the lush tree. We will have to find a really good home for it when we do our landscaping project. Rosemary and Neil are going to come in early August to help us start landscaping our backyard. ...

The new season of kickball started today so that means the hub is once again putting his foot bones and other bones at risk of injury. In case you are wondering his foot has healed nicely. He has been running around without crutches since mid-June. Upon learning he was back to playing I of course, as his wife, gave him a lecture on being careful. He responded it was time to get back in the saddle again. He's right of course. Can't go around life worrying about breaking bones otherwise, it would be a dull life (but he better be careful! :) ). Speaking of dull, the hub and I as of late, have run out of things to do. Which is a very odd feeling for two people who otherwise, live a crazy, hectic life. Living in LA for the past 10 years has conditioned us to a fast paced life style. We always have to be doing something or going somewhere and if we don't we feel like we are not accomplishing anything. Resting is a hard concept for us city folks to buy into so la...

The hub and I want to wish Big Arms, the brother, the brother-in-law, a.k.a. Neil a very happy birthday weekend!!! Don't get into too much trouble!

This month Movie Night took us to Vegas. The monthly event was basically an excuse for all of us Movie Night group members to go to Vegas and to see our good buddy, Jung. Jung has started the summer out right, by moving from crazy LA to crazy Vegas! No one, not even Jung himself, knows how long he will be there but its obvious he is having a good time renting a house and finding good places to eat. He even made up a "Bucket List" of restaurants to try out. We hadn't plan to make the drive until Friday morning but Brian got out of work way early on Thursday so we were able to leave LA around 10PM. With our blow up air matress in tow, we spent the first night of our trip crashing in Jung's front office. Movie Night took place in the afternoon on Friday and when the Bosgul took off to celebrate Madam Bosgul's birthday at 6PM, we headed over to the fabulous RED ROCK to begin our two night stay in the most glorious bed I have ever slept in, a Sealy Posterpedi...

Me and the hub are rocking out with friends in VEGAS baby. Staying at the RED ROCK and it totally rocks!!!

So did you guys get through my novel? I have a new story to tell and it happened only two hours after I landed at LAX this past Saturday. I was going to stay in Europe until Sunday but right before I left some close friends announced they were to get married. There are a few things you change your plans for and that is family and friends. So alas, I told our travel department to get me back into the States before 5:30PM. The wedding was a spur of a moment thing but only because the State of California only just decided to let same sex couples get married. My friends have been together for over seven years and three years ago, they had a daughter together. In their eyes they were already married but the paper always eluded them. You might think it's a trivial thing for gay people to get married but its not. Being able to get married is a big deal to those who don't have the rights to do it. It allows people all kinds of rights, like filing taxes and being recognized a...
