LA County Fair

This was our second time going to the fair. This time we meet up with Matthew, Jung and Danielle. We had a really great time with them and they were so great with Penny. As usual it was incredibly hot! As in 97 degrees. We had to take a lot of drink breaks. We had a full day with a visit to the farm section where we went in a petting zoo area, took Penny shopping, milked cows, saw gigantic pigs!, talked to owls, saw a turkey race and got Penny an ice cold milk! We started lunch by sharing brisket, a tri-tip mash potato bowl and moved on to cotton candy, fried pickles, frozen lemonade, shaved ice, popcorn, donuts, and fried Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! Oh yeah and bottles and bottles of water and beer!  We got $50 worth of tickets and had fun winning prizes for Penny. She loved the rubber ducky game. We won 3 bananas and one Hello Kitty stuffed animals for all of our efforts!  It got so hot Penny really wanted to play in water. She wanted to play with the Sparklets water tower, she wanted to go on the log ride with her uncles but it was the hot tubs she got to play in. I'm sure I wasn't supposed to let her in for as long as I did but no one said anything and I needed to get her cool (the water was cool). I think they understood because of the heat. Afterward Penny was cool enough to take a nice long nap in her stroller. Overall, it was a fun day with friends!

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 ...

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 ...

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...
