June Gloom

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. I decided last night that perhaps I should lose myself in a book. So I researched online and according to some "fun beach reads" lists and some "books you should read this summer" lists I have come up with the following books to try and read this summer.

1. Dead Until Dawn aka the Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris (there is 10 of them)
2. The Lost Daughter by Daralyse Lyon
3. Can U Keep a Secret by Sophie Kinsella
4. Talus by Ozan
5. Message in a Bottle by Nicholas Sparks (Wasn't this a Kevin Costner movie? hum not sure on this one)
6. Any Dan Brown book
7. Sorbonne Confidential
8. Water for Elephants
9. Time Traveler's Wife (the lists promise its better than the movie
10. When You Are Engulfed in Flames b David Sedaris

I might also check out the Eagle Rock library. Today I was reminded that libraries exist when the girl who works for me asked if she could leave so she could return some books. I used to remember a time when I had a Burbank library card and I actually used it. So yes, maybe just maybe I will get out of the house and go check this library out because God knows my fried egg of a brain needs some nourishment. Now lets see how many of these books I read. I hereby challenge myself to read these this summer.

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 ...

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...
