Back to the Beach

So for my 33rd birthday I wanted to keep it low key, meaning, just me and my honey. So the hub took me to the beach! I haven't been to a California beach, in like, forever! We packed a picnic lunch and rubbed 50 SPF suntan lotion all over ourselves (we learned from Vegas) and headed to the shores. Boy! Was it ever nice to sleep with the sounds of the ocean nearby! Besides sleeping, Brian prepared a birthday surprise for me. See below.


Brian's birthday surprise. For my birthday present this year, Brian gave me 5 choices. I had 5 envelopes to open at the beach. Each envelope came with a mini gift, either a pair of sunglasses (because I really wanted sunglasses as my only pair broke last week) or a lottery scratcher.

After opening all 5 envelopes, I had the choice of picking from 5 really great gifts!! 1.) A year long membership to Burke Williams Spa (nice) 2.) A flat screen TV for our bedroom (been wanting to watch TV in bed)
3.) Maid services for a year (this would be so cool) 4.) A new mattress for my poor tired back (hello posterpedic!) 5.) And new outdoor furniture.

Can't I have all 5 I asked my hubby? While I could have gone for any gift, I really,really thought the new matress would help both me and my hubby sleep better so I went with that.


Birthday girl me! Enjoying the outdoor table at Geoffrey's in Malibu!


My hub, Brian, enjoying his New York Strip! It's was yummy!

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 ...

What is Twilight?

I have loved movies and worked in movies and I consider myself knowledgable about movies but I have no idea what this whole Twilight craze is all about. Do you? I know it's something to do about vampires and that it's the new Harry Potter but what the heck is it? All of the sudden everywhere I go I hear about Twilight. They are interviewing talent on the radio and I have no idea who these stars are. It's like Hollywood grew a new list of talent over night and didn't tell me. Anyhoo, that movie opened last night to gang buster numbers but yet, I have no idea. I have no idea about the Jonas Brothers either. Am I getting old? I guess so.
