Valentine's Weekend At Disney

This was our second year in a row, spending Valentine's at Disney except this time we booked a hotel and stayed there all weekend. Moses stayed at a cool new boarding place near our house and from the big smile on his face when I picked him up he seemed to have a good time too. Traffic on Friday was horrible but we did managed to eat dinner at Downtown Disney and go into Disneyland for the parade and fireworks. We even ran into Mickey and Minnie but Penny had fallen asleep so she didn't get to see them. We took in an old times movie at the Lincoln theatre courtesy of the AP Days events going on. We even got a swim in in the hotel's smallest square pool. Suffice to say, we all slept good that night. We woke up on Saturday and found that the hotel offered a free breakfast buffet so we all filled dup before going to the park for another day of fun. On Valentine's Day, Sunday, we exchanged gift in our big king sized bed. Received our cookie order from Hannah (a special DL delivery to the hotel) and spent the day at the park where we ran into Disney friends Logan and Cheryl and ran into some of our friends in town from Portland. We spent a ton f time seeking out characters especially the "princes" who rarely come out except on Valentine's day. We also got to talk to the Disneyland train engineers. Despite the train being closed you could still access the train and the engineers and get photos you never could get before when the train is open. Overall, it was an awesome weekend!

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 ...

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...

Everyone is Having Kids

Yesterday, one of my roommates from the Burbank years gave birth to a little girl. This is her third child. While I am so completely happy for her this happy celebration has gotten me thinking about children and nosey people who ask me when I am going to have them. Some might think this subject is it too personal for blog talk but I figure if people want to bud into my business by asking me about kids then I can bud into yours by talking about them. I realize that I am physically old enough to have kids but being physically old enough isn't enough for me. Today, as I looked at my friend's blog describing her birthing experience, I realized the only reason I am thinking about children so much lately is because so many darn people are asking me about them. Every single friggin day I run into "Patty" at work. I have known her for a very long time and while I know she was super happy for me when I got married, I am so not happy about her enthusiasm about me having bab...
