Early Valentine's Day

We celebrated Valentine's Day a little early this year. Hubby's schedule has been a little crazy with the switching of days to nights to days to nights....that I just wanted to make sure we spent some quality time together, so I suggested we have some dinner over the weekend instead of Monday when we would have to rush home from work and try and go out where we would likely run into a huge crowd.

As I just returned from a business trip overseas this past week, it seemed only fitting to spend Saturday night with hubby. Hubb and I usually make a huge deal out of our celebrations but this year we decided not to make a big deal out of Valentine's. Instead we spent the day at Disneyland trading, had a nice lunch, took a good nap, then we traded Vinylmations (he had bought some for me and I had bought some for him) and finally, had a really great meal at our favorite restaurant, Cafe Was.

The evening was simple yet perfect. Everyone has different opinions on Valentine's Day (mainly its too commercial) but if you take it for what it was meant to be, aka celebrating your affection for another person, I think, commercialism aside, it's a fun holiday because you are remembering the person who means the most in our life. This year, there were no cards nor chocolates, just a few favorite things...our vinyls, which we have been having fun collecting together and good food. Instead of chocolate, we had champagne cocktails and beinegets w/ cinnamon and chocolate sauce. Overall a really nice night!

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 ...

What is Twilight?

I have loved movies and worked in movies and I consider myself knowledgable about movies but I have no idea what this whole Twilight craze is all about. Do you? I know it's something to do about vampires and that it's the new Harry Potter but what the heck is it? All of the sudden everywhere I go I hear about Twilight. They are interviewing talent on the radio and I have no idea who these stars are. It's like Hollywood grew a new list of talent over night and didn't tell me. Anyhoo, that movie opened last night to gang buster numbers but yet, I have no idea. I have no idea about the Jonas Brothers either. Am I getting old? I guess so.
