Amy's Bachelorette Party

This past weekend I helped another girlfriend celebrate her last days of single-dom. Yes, Amy Ko is joining the ranks of married people. It's funny how you meet people in life. Someone comes into your life, say like a Toby, who starts to date the girl who takes his room in a revamped 81st Street after the frat boys left. The girl becomes your roommate's enemy because your roommate used to like that guy but dumped him for another guy. Then Toby and the girl break up and then the girl enemies who both liked the guy become friends because they can relate in their hatrid of that guy who broke their hearts. Then the girl dates a couple of guys and then that girl becomes engaged to her ballroom dancing partner. Yes, life works in mysterious ways.

Amy is due to get married October 3 and so my good friend, Caroline, aka one of the frienemies, who is now good friends with Amy, despited Amy trying to one time feed Caroline poison brownies (don't ask) became the Vegas Bachelorette Party Planner along with Amy's sister Christine. Now Caroline has an excellent resume when it comes to Vegas as she planned my bachelorette party which I like to fondly remember as the best Vegas party known to mankind. With Caroline at the helm the weekend was bound to be fun. So I signed up.

So on Friday, Sept 17th I, along with Toby and our friend, Danielle drove off to Vegas for our weekend of fun. Hum wait a minute, Toby is a guy, why was he going? Well, apparently some people can still be friends, can still be good friends after they date. It's a concept that I am not very familar with but in which Amy and Toby have perfected. And frankly, anyone who knows our friend Toby, knows that he is an everyman, able to adapt to any situation, able to talk to any person, able to find himself into a conjoining suite of 11 girls without anyone questioning his motives. And no, he is not gay.

And so the three of us drove to Vegas to meet up with the other 9 girls Amy has woven into her web of friendship. Some were her friends and some were for lack of a better word our friends aka girls that were my friends that were at my bachelorette party who has since been party of a pack of girls who goes to Vegas annually for a girls trip and thus have become friends with both Amy and I.

Pretty much the only thing I can tell you about this trip is that we stayed in the Venetian which is now my favorite Vegas hotel. We stayed in two conjoining suites that slept 6 people each, the first time I have been to Vegas and had a bed for all people staying in the room. Here are some of the tamer pics of our Vegas Girls Weekend um I mean our 11 girls and 1 guy weekend.

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...
