March Madness..... and Randomness

And I am not talking about basketball. Ever since I got off Jury Duty I have been in a whirl wind. My boss, who I have been with for 5 years, left the company so I have been busy trying to make my way through a "restructuring." I tried to sell the folks on making me a VP but was told they don't want to be "top-heavy." It is also one of our crazy bus times at work as this is the time we are getting ready for our summer blockbusters. And everything is due cuz everything needs to get printed and shipped so it can be up in movie theatres for Easter worldwide. And of course nothing is getting approved causing more overtime but we are not allowed to spend any money because the economy is in the toilet. At one point this week, I was working on 14 movie posters all at once (that is a lot). Then big bosses from London flew in for an emergency filmmaker meeting this past week. And let's just say, that meeting didn't go well and additional work followed. Generally, I have been going to work way early and staying way late. When I am not working I am gathering up a million receipts for the tax man. Even though I pay this man to do my taxes I still have to gather all that crap up and add up receipts. Then the house is a mess and there always seems to be a load of laundry to do. I am not sure how the house gets so dusty all the time? And I am pretty sure I have washed my favorite shirt like 40 times this month. It was my second wedding anniversary this past weekend on the 13th. So I had to research and find some cool gift that would outdo my husband's sure to be cool gift. This is not a complaint but when you have a super awesome husband who is very good at surprises, you want to try and outwit, outlast, outplay him in the coolness department. Trying to outcool your hubby takes time. This weekend we have a friend coming (need to clean the house) and a visit to the tax man (and I still need to finish up those receipts) and another friend in town (need to try and catch up with him). Next weekend we have visitors coming (need to clean the house again). I literally looked on the calendar today and couldn't believe it was the 19th already. March is Mad. What is this basketball thing everyone is commenting about on Facebook?? Should I care if blue is cool or if red is not? Then just when you think life couldn't get any crazier I hear that Natasha Richardson died in a freak skiing accident? I guess my troubles are nothing compared to what her family is going through. Poor lady. This world is mad and so is this month.

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 ...

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...

7th Birthday

Mark ur calendars, Dec 12 is an awesome day to go to Disneyland! There was no one at the park yesterday morning. We had 3 amazing hours 8am to 11am to ride! Some Disneyland records we set yesterday:  ✅A After many years, we finally got a wristband (and bought) a giant Disneyland candy cane.  ✅F First people on pirates of the carribean.  ✅ Line for Indiana Jones was 10 minutes long  😳  This never happens and we sat next to the people (strangers) who sat next to us on pirates b ut we did not walk over to the ride with them. ✅ By a fluke, we were also the first people on Big Thunder Mountain and kiddo rode in the cart by herself! (They opened late and we were in the right spot) ✅Kiddo  rode front seat on Matterhorn because a kind guy, his first visit, said he was too tall to sit in front and she wouldn’t be able to see sitting behind him ✅ Prode space mountain for the first time and huffed that it wasn’t scary and it was no IncrediCoaster. And the line...
