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!
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 ...
