Summer is Over

There is only one week left until Labor Day and I can't help but be sad about it because it means summer is over. Yes, even in sunny California I still feel the seasons change, granted it is not as drastic from changing from sun to snow but the season changes from fires to mudslides none-the-less. As far as summers go, the weather this summer has been nothing but pleasant. I can't remember complaining about needing air conditioning, as much as I did last year. Luckily our ceiling fans were able to do the job of keeping us cool and if the fans can keep us cool it must have been a good summer in California! Maybe after we finishing our landscaping project we can investigate central air/heat.

Anyhoo, if I was bored in July I certainly wasn't in August! August started out with my Malibu birthday party (the party was so exclusive that only Brian was on the guest list!). And then, I spent the week after my birthday trimming bushes, picking out stones and pavers and generally watching the two strong Buller boys build me a patio area. Then this last weekend all my girlfriend's and I went to Vegas for our Second Annual Girl's Trip (I could write a whole bunch more about our wild times but I have been told what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! My buddy Jung had the unique experience of watching us girls in the wild. Poor Jung, he must think all girls are crazy!).

I am looking forward to spending some quality time with my hubby this weekend now that August Movie Night has been cancelled. So life, has once again returned to a crazy, busy schedule which, I guess, is good because it's better then being bored.

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...

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 ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
