So we got a pretty good group together for Dineyland this past weekend. There were 8-9 friends that ended up going and it was a really fun day. We arrived at the park around lunchtime and pigged out before hitting the rides. We got on all the big ones (thank goodness for the FastPass) and…

The Cotton Anniversary
Yesterday, Hubby and I celebrated our 2-Year Wedding Anniversary. I had such good intentions to wake up extra early and make him breakfast, but that didn’t happen. So all day I worked on painting the master bathroom, trying to have that done before he came home. (One less thing on his Honey Do list.) We…
Kitchen Queries
So I realized yesterday that I have no idea how to cut cauliflower. I didn’t come to this conclusion out of nowhere – I was actually trying to make something. (A low-cal snack of baked cauliflower with chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Yum.) But I got over the cutting board and was completely lost.…
How To Fit Your Whole Personality Into One Suitcase
It is so much pressure to pack for an extended weekend. Especially when you haven’t seen the people you are visiting in so many years. You want to look great, but don’t want to overdo it either. You know the look – cute and comfortable, but somehow so very pulled together. Fabulous Casual. So at…
Celebrate We Will - Life is Short But Sweet, For Certain...
“It’s always easier to leave, than to be left.” – Dave Matthews Last night was pretty heavy. It was the start of my Summer O’ DMB Concerts. I’m only going to 3 shows this year but it’s something I have been doing since ’99 and I always look forward to. As we found our seats,…
There's Always Next Year!
I always get excited for the Annual Grunion Run. Every summer, these silver fish come up on the beach to lay their eggs. They ride in on one wave and are gone by the next. I used to hunt the little buggers in my hometown of Oxnard all the time. So I do have some…
Vegas, baby... Vegas
This was the best Vegas trip I have been on since my Bachelorette Party. It was a very different trip, since it was just me and the husband, but we had such a great time. Got there Friday evening and checked into the Excalibur. That’s sort of a weird hotel. Its almost like they can’t…
Bowling Legend
So my brother has been wanting to go bowling ever since he got here, pretty much. He reminds us every week that we should go, and we are always either too busy or too tired to actually do it. But we finally got ourselves there and it was great. I was mostly excited that the…
That Wild Hair Got The Best Of Us!
Fourth of July Weekend. Its a time for friends, food and fun. And fireworks. And whatever else you can cram into 3 days. Hubby and I tried desperately to plan a little trip with all the friends to get ourselves out of town for the weekend. But with the short notice and the cost of…
Great Expectations...
So the last couple days, I have been looking through some old journal entries. It makes me very sentimental for the old days. Not to mention very grateful that I took time to write some of these things down! Again, the memory – not so great over here. Anyway, I was reading an entry from…
