Where Has the Month Gone?

August is almost over. Bummer. Seems like this summer has flown. Well the good thing is that I live in Southern California so I am sure we are in store for more nice weather but oddly enough it has been quite cool here. I am not complaining at all cuz I am lovin' it as the McD's people would say. Just not this weekend. I heard its going to poor rain. I am looking forward to doing pretty much nothing. I have a lunch date on Sunday with my girlfriend Kristen who is in town from Hawaii. I used to work with her. And then she decided to move home. Who wouldn't want to move home to Hawaii?? I am either supposed to make her lunch or take her to lunch and I am really hoping she likes sushi cuz I am not in the mood to cook. She must after all she is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean. I got a gift certificate to Katsuya which is only one of the most amazing sushi places in LA. They opened up a new one in Glendale so I am thinking we can go get sushi and hubby can get his chicken terriyaki although I am sure he will find it amazing cause everything is amazing there! I went a few weeks ago and the people convinced me to get a drink for lunch. Typically I don't like to drink at a work lunch but the guy said they has the best martini in Los Angeles and so how could I turn that down? I didn't. And yes, it was one pretty damn good drink. Dare I say it...the best in LA. Other than a lunch with Kristen I plan to go to the movies. I have been on the move of late, what with my trip to London for work. I pretty much worked the last 3 weeks straight including weekends so as I write this I am pooped. Can't wait to plop myself on the couch and watch a bazillion hours of soap operas, sleep, watch Netflix and perhaps if its not raining too hard go to the movies and see some flicks. There are a couple of chick flicks I need to see. I have to rest up this weekend cuz I am hopping on a plane again next Friday but this time I am not going to a big city but rather to a tiny cabin out in the middle of no where. I can't wait to totally decompress. Where am I going? To Michigan to the U.P. My girlfriend is getting married on Lake Superior. So bring on a quiet, slow weekend! I need it!

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 ...
