Hip Hop O'Malley's

After dinner, most of Kristy's friends left and Ellen left and so that left Krueger, Jayne Jay, Charlie, Kristy, her friend and hubby and I to roam the streets of Seal Beach. Let me tell you the streets were pretty bare. Well, the reason the streets were bare was because it was cold and all the people were in the bars warming up! We decided to take up residence inside of O'Malley's an Irish bar that likes hip hop music. Jayz and 50 Cent sounded a bit weird playing in an Irish Pub but hey this is America and anything can happen right? Right. So we entered and the waitress sat us at a big table that overlooked the bar area.

The first thing we learned that night is that Krueger does not like her food warm. What, you say? Since she hadn't eaten at Ruby's she ordered a meal and progressed to let it sit for 40 minutes before eating it. Of course everyone had to know why she was doing this and her response to the millions of questions was "She hates warm food and it's hard to chew." Okay, whatever? I wasn't thrown by this as it's just another one of the "Kruegerisms" I know so well. She does things her way. Why people are surprised anymore is beyond me!

The second thing I learned that night is that you can mix Guinness with peach ale and you get the weirdest but cool, looking Arnold Palmer looking type drink that was surprisingly tasty. Thanks Charlie and Jayne Jay for introducing me to this new beer concoction.

Third thing I learned, well really, I didn't learn it but the table did, was that Krueger knows way too much about lemon drop shots and now so does Kristy. The fourth thing we learned is that some people, after getting married, like to take their entire wedding party to O'Malleys. Not exactly my idea of a an ideal wedding reception but alas we were surrounded by bridesmaids and groomsmen in a union, that from all looks of things, would last 2 maybe 3 years at the most. Finally, the last thing we learned that night is that Seal Beach is a pretty cool, Hip Hop Irish Town. We all agreed we'd go back to do some more birthday, lemon drop celebrating some day.

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

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 ...

Time Is Flying

Man, back in September and October, I thought time was going by so slowly but now that we are in November and half way through it, it seems like time is flying once again. Maybe that has a little bit to do with me being a lady of leisure these days. My doctor put me on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I went into his office all stressed out over the situation at work in early November and he said "this Friday, November 4th, will be your last day." I was like "Excuse me?" Doc put me on disability because stress is bad for the gestational diabetes I already have and for the apparent high blood pressure reading I had that day and some of my tests indicated I was at risk for pre-eclampsia. My new job, is to go to the hospital for neonatal stress tests, twice a week, on Monday's and Thursday's with a weekly OBGYN appointment on Thursday's after my hospital appointment. Throw in some eye doctor appointments with an eye specialist (apparen...
