"I like THomas"

It's quite early in the morning in Sanger and I am still waiting for my hubby to get out of bed before we meet up with MoMo and Faith for lunch today. Those are Clayton's names for his grandparents. Steve is NoNo and Rosemary is YaYa. Then Grandpa Louie's is the Italian word for Beast. I must say little Clayton is amazingly smart. I am not being biased. He's only two and he can talk up a storm and he knows where and what everything is. We were driving in the car and he pointed out a water tower by name. He is really into Thomas the Train. Everytime he walks into a room he says I like Thomas so I only thought it appropriate that I name this Sanger blog by that name.

Thanksgiving was tasty and filling as usual. Had dinners at the Cardoza's and the Rusca's. The only thing about going to people's dinners is that there are no left overs for you. I have been craving a thick turkey sandwich with mustard with a side of green bean casserole. Perhaps I will have to attempt to make my first turkey for Christmas so I can fulfull that craving.

On Black Friday, we slept in and missed the early morning shopping. Instead at 11:50PM at night we did our big shopping online at Neil and holli's house and bought ourselves our Christmas gift early. We got a new Mac Computer. We really needed a new computer and in a few days after free shipping and a Black Friday discount we have one. I so can't wait to play with all my pictures on it! It will be nice to have memory!

We did manage to make it out to a few stores like Target and the Fresno Mall and took care of one person's Christmas gifts. We also took in two movies, some dinner and hung out with Neil till almost 4am. Yesterday, we went to the Fresno scrapbook store (totally love that place) and had dinner at DiChico's (love, love, love their speghetti).

Off to meet Faith and Morris this afternoon to catch up and talk about the big family trip to DisneyWorld in January 09. The entire gang is going and it will be Clay's first trip. Then it's back to LA to face a week of work.

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

So Proud

I have yet to bear children so I am not sure what its like to be proud of your kids but I do have this "kid" at work that I am extremely proud of this week. Three years ago, when I first transferred to my current studio due to "the merge" I was one of two people who made up the international marketing team. I am sure many of you remember me complaining how crazy I was. Anyhoo, during that time when we were setting up our team, this young girl walked into my office to interview for the internship position I was hiring for. I have been working with interns for as long as I can remember and before that, I worked with young kids at movie theatres. In all my years and in all those kids I had never met a person like the girl who walked into my office that day. It took all of two seconds for me to know she was talented and she was a star. After meeting with her I called off all the other interviews and told HR to hire her. She was a rock star intern! Later when w...
