Welcome Netflix! Bonjour Paris!

So today marked the first day of the Reasler's free month of Netflix. This was courtesy of some class action suit that the hub was part of. I have never had Netflix but I like the idea. We got 3 movies in the mail today and have already dropped one back in the mail for another. We watched Bolt tonight and it has made me want a white dog even more. Additionally it has made me want a cat called Mittens. I am not really sure what I am going to do with this information but I thought I d share my latest wants with you.

Also, I am going to Paris, yes that city in France, this Sunday or rather, I have a ticket to Paris and we will see how this week goes and if I actually get on the plane that goes to Paris. Work has some "sensitive" trailer negatives they want me to hand carry to the Paris Office. I am especially excited as I love Paris and the cityscape is still fresh in my mind from our trip back in November. But... in the back of my head I am trying not to get too excited because I have been up for trips a million times only to have them cancelled. In fact early today it was cancelled and then an hour later it was back on. Yes, the movie business is crazy. So if I make it through the week, I get on a plane on Sunday morning, arrive Monday morning Paris time. Wait for a company car to pick me up and take me to the Paris Office. I will hang out all day and hopefully the gang will take me around town so I can look at billboards and get a better idea of their needs and requirements. Not sure what I will do on my second day (but I am hoping it involves a chocolate crepe with bananas and whip cream) and on day three, I hop back on a plane and come back home. I'd say that is a pretty good work week! Hope it happens!

You're going to love NETFLIX, it's so easy! I think you said you had a WII, I know on XBOX you can get movies from NETFLIX streaming right to the XBOX. I think they have a deal with TIVO as well.
That is good to know! We do have an xbox but I have no idea how to work it. I will have to put the hubby on the case! He has the netflix application on his itouch and we have been ordering from that too.

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...
