I Voted

So today I voted in the mid-term elections like a million other people but this is the first time I really didn't know who to vote for because it was the first time I didn't like either candidate. Can I just say, those ads on TV are terrible! I don't think they should let people waste money like that on what is essentially name calling. I feel like they should just have debates and be done with it. All I really care about is the issues and to see the candidates verbally attack each other doesn't give me any inclining's to vote for either party. Why don't you make ads that tell me what YOU can do for the State? I don't care what you think your running mate isn't doing right, what can YOU do? This time around I really wish there were more candidates than just a Republican and a Democrat. Yes, I know there is the Green Party and the Libertarians, etc but let's face it, they are not as well established as the Republicans and the Democrats. What if I am sick of what both the Republicans and Democrats are doing with their blame game antics and want to vote for someone else? Well, right now I could vote for someone else but seriously, are they ever going to get elected? Not very likely. Something major really needs to happen with political parties because the current way doesn't ever seem to get anything done. I mean California couldn't even balance a budget. What this tells me is that the people we elect into office are not interested in the people the represent and basically, these people do not know how to compromise. How else do we end up a bazillion dollars in debt? The Republicans blame Obama and the Democrats blame Bush. Hey, here's a novel idea, why don't you guys work together and get us all out of this mess, this bad economy. Hey maybe you guys should put your heads together and figure out how the United States can make something instead of shipping jobs out overseas because its cheaper. Suffice to say, I wasn't really excited to vote in this election at all but I did and I had to go with who I felt would do the "slightly" better job. Sad state of affairs when you don't feel impressed by either side. How do we change this? Everyone needs to pay better attention to politics. The power needs to go back to the 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 ...

My Favorite Gourmet Trucks

As of last night, I have now tried 18 food trucks! Only 60 more to go! My friends, Krueger and Kristy joined me at 55 Degree Wine in Atwar Village to try the always busy Grilled Cheese Truck! I have run into the truck a few times now but something has always prevented me from trying their food. Mostly the really, really long lines!! This time the hour wait wasn't so bad with two girls to gossip with. By the time we got to the front we were ready to execute our food plan. Kristy took lead and placed an order for 3 sandwiches (the brie, the mac-n-cheese and the rib meat) plus the dessert sandwich and some tator tots!!! I was a bit bummed that they didn't have the sandwich I went for, the Harvest sandwich but the 3 sandwiches we got more than made up for everything. I was glad to try this truck with 2 girls because we split the sandiches in 3rds which was awesome because I got to try a variety of their sandwiches. Now I must add the Grilled Cheese Truck to my list of fa...

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...
