Soda Pop

Today I have to go to the tax man. Yuk, receipts are everywhere in my living room! I hope the government is kind to us this year. This weekend has gone by so fast! Friday night we managed to meet up with Charlie, Krueger, Jane, Toby, Danielle and a slew of others at Islands in Burbank. Toby, Danielle and I treated ourselves to mani-pedi's after work. It was sooo incredibly nice to have someone rub my feet and arms after a very long week at work. Charlie and gang went to see "I Love You Man." All of us met up at Islands in Burbank. We tend to meet up there whenever Charlie is in town. My hubby was able to get out of work early and joined us. We literally closed down the place and were asked to leave at 1AM. Everyone seems to be doing well. Just busy at work. Saturday, we chilled with Toby who is staying with us for a few days while he has a gig in LA. We went to the Burbank Animal Shelter again to look at dogs but they were all big dogs this week. Then we had some great Mexican at our favorite place near our house and then we made a pit stop at Galco's, a really cool soda shop that sells all kinds of sodas and beers from around the world. We ran into this older man who worked at the store and he new everything there is to know about all the sodas in the store. I am really excited about this soda from the United Kingdom that he says is one of the best sodas in the world. Toby and I each bought a bottle but are afraid to drink it because what if it's the best and we need to get more? I guess its easier for me to go to the store then him. That's all they sell, soda bottles. Today it's off to the tax man and meeting up with some people for dinner if we get out of the tax man's office in time. The weekends fly by so fast. I feel like I don't get anything done.

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 ...
