Bibiddi Bobbidi Boutique

As I was planning "The Girl's" birthday weekend at Disneyland, it occurred to me that I have never taken her to the Bibiddi Bobbiddi Boutique a.k.a. a little girl beauty salon within Disneyland. My daughter doesn't like anyone touching her hair, hence the messed up mop she has most of the time full of snarls but she does like princesses.

So I took a chance and booked an appointment. I made an appointment for after breakfast so at least I knew her belly would be full for a while. She was eager to try the experience of course. She even picked out her own hair style however, when they started combing her hair her little smile left. There were tugs and pulls and I have to give her credit, she didn't cry until a few tears at the end. She was a real trouper I have to say.

Luckily, she loved the end result and she even wanted to take pictures which is something I had to add onto our package. Once I saw the cute Cinderella carriage and photo place I readily agreed to hand over $35 more dollars to get the cute photos taken. So glad I did, as they turned out awesome!

It's probably the only time I'll get to go in the place, so I am glad to have the photos. The Girl immediately told me she never wanted any one to comb her hair again. So doubt I'll be returning since she has a memory like steel.

Despite the tugging I think she had a great time.  Her big ole smile when she was done up as a princess by her very own fairy godmother in training was priceless. She carried around her little pink bag of beauty products which they give you after you are all done was carried with pride. She absolutely, loved the make up palette which she proceed to put on her face, legs anytime she could get access to it.

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 ...
