Thanks Miguel

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. We want to get this done so we can start throwing parties! We are looking to build a fireplace, a grill, a sitting area, a dining area, a concrete water fountain, a wooden purgula, install pavers and stairs.

After Miguel and Maria left last night, I checked my e-mail and then discovered the iMovie icon on our computer. I opened it up and it looked interesting so I loaded all my Euro Trip photos in it. I was rearranging the photos and adding music and was beginning to make a little movie. I got my editor hubby to help me and I think I have found a new project. I can't wait to get out of work today and come home to work on it.

This weekend it looks like we have plans. We are catching up with Caroline and her boyfriend to see, THE DARK KNIGHT and have some lunch on Saturday. Then we are going to check out my friend's art show (she's a photographer) and hopefully get something cool to hang up in our house. Then on Sunday, I am going to Burke Williams and having lunch with a girlfriend from work and then in the afternoon I am going to a BBQ hosted by one of Brian's kickball buddies.

It's a good feeling to have plans again!

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 ...

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Everyone is Having Kids

Yesterday, one of my roommates from the Burbank years gave birth to a little girl. This is her third child. While I am so completely happy for her this happy celebration has gotten me thinking about children and nosey people who ask me when I am going to have them. Some might think this subject is it too personal for blog talk but I figure if people want to bud into my business by asking me about kids then I can bud into yours by talking about them. I realize that I am physically old enough to have kids but being physically old enough isn't enough for me. Today, as I looked at my friend's blog describing her birthing experience, I realized the only reason I am thinking about children so much lately is because so many darn people are asking me about them. Every single friggin day I run into "Patty" at work. I have known her for a very long time and while I know she was super happy for me when I got married, I am so not happy about her enthusiasm about me having bab...
