I Woke Up To 40 Today

Somehow, someway, I managed to wake up to my 40th birthday. I know, I know, many people say 40 is just a number but it means old. Only 10 more years until 50. 20 years to 60. I think I may be having a mid-life crisis which started when a high number of people at malls started offering me facial cremes for my...wait for it... wrinkles. With each offer, they were clearly insinuating that I had a ton of lines and that I was OLD. It wasn't just one person but several and if several people offer you facial creme for lines...you must be old! I couldn't go to any mall in Southern California without someone mentioning my wrinkles. WTH! Now I am obsessed with my face. I bought face cream but it made my face break out. I bought eye cream and after applying once my eyes blew up like the State Puff Marshmallow Man, apparently I am allergic to eye creme. What am I to do with my wrinkly face? Years of not caring about stupid eye creme have now backfired on me! Now I look at my face and just see old. Sun spots, wrinkles, and dryness. Add in my knee pain, my general tiredness, and other aches and pains, and it all adds up to OLD! I just can't believe I am 40 years of age! I can't. How did I get here so quickly? Someone tell me. I demand to know. I look back and there is 40 years of memories. I can actually say that I moved to CA almost 20 years ago when I was young. My memories are all starting to blend together now because I am OLD. I can't remember what years things happened. Oh aargh when did I become 40...oh, the other day!

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 ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

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...
