Getting' Out of the House

So hubby and I in our quest to do all things a good parent should do (will, trust, life insurance, 529 account, IRA, Roth, etc.) had home medical exams for our two life insurance policies we are applying for. The one good thing about getting laid off was that my old employer paid for me to attend career transition class at Lee Herrick Harrison.

I went to one of their finical seminars and met a really great financial guy. We were able to meet with him independently and ended up hiring him to take over our finances. I really like this guy. He is super responsive and available for any and all kind of questions. The best part is that he doesn't work on commission so he is attentive, helpful and seems to care and like his job. After helping me with the transfer of my 401k and pension plans, he is now helping us with life insurance.

Today, the companies that we are applying for sent out a nurse to give us medical exams. I wasn't sure what to expect. She ended up taking blood samples, urine samples, our blood pressures, and asked us a ton of questions. Nothing really to be scared about in hindsight. I have diabetes so I am wondering if that will effect my coverage. I guess we will find out shortly. This business about getting older and ensuring that your loved ones are taking care of sure does involve a ton of paperwork!

 Just when I think we are done something else comes about. I sure have visited the notary a lot lately! After the medical exam, we had a leisurely afternoon. I napped while hubby played on the computer and P napped. When P awoke I took Moses for a walk and hubs took P over to Dave and Verona's house to be watched for the evening.

My old friend, Ann, from AMC, was having a 40th birthday party at The Village in Sherman Oaks at 8pm. I hadn't seen her or her husband, Myron in several years so I was excited to be able to go. An added plus, other AMC friends were going as well. hubby and I left the house at 5:30pm and got to the place at 6pm. We enjoyed some much needed time to ourselves before the party started at 8pm. We had a great time talking and eating. Then at 8pm I felt two arms around my shoulders and turned to find Myron! And that was the start to the second part of our evening. I caught up with Ann, Jen, and Fred. I was hoping to see Rodeline but I guess she got her Baconfest dates mixed up and couldn't attend.

A good time was had by all!

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 ...

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...

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...
