I'm a Yelp-er

One of my favorite sites online over the years has been Yelp. Yelps helps people find restaurants, businesses in their area and not only that it helps you find places to try if you are out of town. I have used it for years but it never occurred to me to sign up for an account. So finally I signed up last Friday. I have been having fun rating and reviewing businesses and restaurants I have been to. I find the site to be very helpful in recommending new places to try or businesses to check out. Hubby found Moses' daycare on Yelp because a person we knew wrote a high review. So we took Moses in and he has been loving that place ever since. Yelp is sort of the same idea as Facebook you collect friends and you can read their reviews and lists. You can give feedback on their reviews and nominate them for awards. Who better to trust then your friends' opinions when it comes to spending your money? Anyhow, I really love this site. I went through and 'bookmarked" several places I have eaten in LA and on my travels around the world. You can make comments for each place which I find to be beneficial because I am always trying new places and I am always thinking I need to remember the place for brunch or I need to remember this for the next time I have a large group. You can bookmark places you want to try too. The only bad thing is the list function. It only lets you make lists from your reviews. I wish they let you make lists from your bookmarks. Cuz, I would have fun putting together my favorite sushi places or my favorite lunch spots without reviewing all of them. The site is really helpful when you have company in town too. I am always eating out and I am always saying I should take people here when they come. But of course whenever we get visitors I can't remember the names of anything. So Yelp now helps me keep track of restaurants, businesses and products that I like. I have already written six reviews in the last few days. It's so much fun!

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....

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

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...
