Game Night at Lollipop's!





So for over a year now the hub and I have been going to my friend's game night. The evenings are always on a Friday Night and usually occur once every other month. All of the invitees are m friend's peeps from work whom I have gotten to know over the years at various events. Since we have joined the group all of the game nights have been at the same house. They decided to shake it up a bit so I offered up our house as the July Game Night location. Typically whoever hosts the game night provides the meat and then everyone else brings a dish to pass. It's all coordinated so that we have appetizers, drinks, meal and dessert. I have to say that everyone did a good job this time around as we were all completely stuffed! So this past Friday we got the house in shape for our night. I was stressing over what game we should play but it seems I need not worry because we always end up playing the same game which is Catch Phrase. Although this time we did convince everyone to sneek in a few games of Scattagories. Both games are pretty fun but the new guy (Apparently a new co-worker has made a good impression so he and his date were introduced into the group) just didn't seem to get how the game worked. Poor guy! Not only were new people cool but they brought the best baklava!! And when I say best I mean it was the best baklava I have ever tasted! The night was fun as usually but longer than normal. You know you have thrown a good party when you have empty bottles of liquor and half the party had to sleep over at your house!

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

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...
