Busy, Busy, Busy

Do you ever have those months where every single weekend is jam packed with stuff? Well, that has been my family's life this past month. I'm not complaining, we are just BUSY. Hubs has been off of work for the past few weeks but he hasn't been sitting around. He has been busy with projects around the house during his in-between HOUSE WIVES gigs. He just went back to work today on ORANGE COUNTY which is starting it's 10th season. I headed into work this morning not knowing where the week is going to take me. It might very well be the end for my start up company. The good news is that my little family is happy. We've been lucky to make some new friends with people whose kids are in Penny's swim class and who, coincidentally live down the street from us. We have been having playdates here and there and this past weekend we all went out to a kid friendly brew pub for some food and libations. Did I mention they have a killer pretzel mac and chess bowl that the kids (um, the adults) loved?! We have been doing double the amount of swim classes the past few weeks, trying to make up for some classes we missed throughout our swim package. So we have not only been going on Sunday's but also, on Saturday's. We've had date night. We had a date with our tax man. We have had birthday parties, afternoon teas, doctor appointments, dentist appointments, Disneyland, more Disneyland, Disneyland egg hunts, movies with our neighbors, remodeling to our house, we have had deliveries of patio furniture, and bonus room sofa beds, you name it, I think we did it this month! Moses, my poor boy, wonders what the heck we are doing. It has allowed for some good nap time for him but alas, we have been missing our Moses boy. Our sweet boy is always waiting for us with his big kisses and his tail wagging when we open up our new front door. Gotta love that dog! He is absolutely our best friend! Next month will be the month of Moses!

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

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 ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
