My 1st Yelp Dinner

Besides Vinylmation my other addiction of late is Yelping. I love trying new places to eat and writing reviews. It would seem that I have gotten myself entangled into a small clique that likes to get together and go out and try new restaurants. This week I got my first invitation to join their small group for dinner next Friday. So what does this mean? That I am finally going to meet some of the people that I am friends with on Yelp.

See friends on YELP are different then friends on FACEBOOK. On Facebook, I know all the people I am friends with. On Yelp, people can ask to be your friend because they like to read your reviews. I have about 50 friends on YELP. Some are my real life friends but to tell you the truth, I have been having a lot of fun talking to people I don't know.

The girl that invited me to diner next Friday, Lucy, was the very first Yelper I met in real life. I met her at the Yelp Elite Christmas Party after becoming an Elite Member in December. The person I am most excited to meet at dinner is Bill, otherwise known as the guy I was in the Food Truck Race with. He won the race and has amassed 70 food truck visits to date! That is amazing I think.

It was Bill that nominated me to be an Elite Member on Yelp. I was accepted by the Elite Squad so now I get invited to special food events around LA. I have to admit that YELP is pretty darn fun! I have been trying some really good food lately. Anyhow, I am looking forward to meeting a few more foodies next Friday. Don't worry Dad, hubby is going with me. hehehe

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
