Ramblings of a Crazy Woman

Do you ever let the blue bug get a hold of you? When it does nothing seems right or fun. I got the blue bug late last week. It's hard to let it go when you get it. I know fretting doesn't do any good but all the same the blue bug is not a reasonable bug. I feel like I have reached a point where I need to make a change but I am not sure what that change is or how to do it. That is what is so depressing..knowing you have the power to change something but being to cautious or lets just say it, afraid to do something about it. This morning I seemed to have a break through and found a spark of excitement but then it was ripped away. Afterward, I knew I wasn't blue anymore but just bored. Oh June Gloom I don't like you. When will the sun come back as I am always a sunnier person when the sun is shining. It's easier for me to be a Pollyanna when I am surrounded by sunshine. Anyhoo, now that I am bored and not depressed I am trying to conquer the boredom bug....

My brother's kid is now 5 months old and he loves swinging at daycare.

ME: The Internet is really a huge place! YOU: Yeah, so. I am not sure about you but being online is kind of daunting to me. I never seem to be able to find anything as compared to my friends who are always posting links and news stories. I Google but I am pretty sure it doesn't take me to the same cool places that my husband or friends get to. I am always like "How did you do that?" The girls at work are always finding the latest deals or the latest news or the latest hot spots. Then there is me over here in my corner and I am like "huh." I had to have my AV guy show me how to download the latest version of Windows Internet Browser this past week so I could get past some cookies. I still have no friggin clue what the heck a "cookie" is and why I wasn't getting past it. I am slow to the technology world. I am definitely not one of those people who have to run out and get the latest iPhone or the latest new gadget by Apple like the rest of...

I am not sure about you but doesn't it seem like a dud of a summer for movies? Are people just sick of sequels that they are not going to the movies anymore? There hasn't really been any break out hits so far. Iron Man 2 and Shrek 4 have done over $200M but they didn't open to expectations. Robinhood, Prince of Persia, A-Team, and Sex In the City 2 performed well under expectations. Are the movies just boring, are people tired of sequels, or is it just too expensive? I'd be interested in hearing what you guys think. Here's hoping Toy Story 3 and Eclipse can revive the summer box office.

Congratulations Los Angeles on winning the NBA Championship title again! What an exciting series. Being neck to neck with the Celtics made it a fun series to keep track of. Only two more championships and Los Angeles will be the team with the most championship titles.

The latest LA cuisine that everyone is raving about is the Food Truck cuisine. Not only is food truck food good but it's cheap. Most items are only a couple of dollars which is very helpful in these hard economic times. Granted it's probably not the healthiest food for the citizens of LA (although there are the healthier trucks out there) but boy is it ever a tasty trend. Most trucks drive around in LA and with the help of TWITTER post where they are going to be on any giving morning, afternoon or evening. People flock to where they are going to be. Sometimes the trucks get together and you can find 2-3 trucks on a street. And more often we are finding Food Fests that feature several of the cities 20-30 trucks in one place for an event like atmosphere. Tonight the hubby I had set out to watch a movie at the AMERICANA AT BRAND (an outdoor mall in Glendale) but instead we ran into a Food Truck Festival. The Americana had invited 10 trucks to come out and sell food t...

Clayton has a peculiar way of eating cotton candy. He takes the whole thing and scrunches it down to a baseball size, drops it on the floor (to get some dirt flavor) and then eats it. P.S. this is Clayton's first Dodger Game.

5 years ago today m little nephew was born! I can't believe how time flies and what a little man he is becoming.

Everyone has been asking how Maui was and I am hear to tell you that our 3rd trip to paradise was awesome! I thought perhaps we would relax more but we ended up being pretty busy. Here is a breakdown of our 6 days in Maui. I think the next trip will be a couple's retreat one. Yes, I will try and plan a friends trip and try to rent a big ole house. Had so many people who said I wish we could go with you that it made me think, well why not? So clear your calenders for sometime soon! Sunday Arrive late in the afternoon Check into the bed and breakfast place called THE PLANTATION INN Note: We had previously stayed at this 19 room inn on our wedding night in the big suite.
