E wants to watch it this weekend.

Did you know they are already selling tickets for the Star Trek movie?
Another "gotta see it" for the hubby. But we can wiat to buy a ticket.

They did that for LOTR and Harry Potter too. I just waited until it came out to buy the tickets. My bf and I still find it odd that people wait in line to pay at the box office when there are 6 kiosk machines on the side. We always use the machines since it's a lot faster.

Not right now, bedroom windows face the wrong way.. but Poly is filling in for me.

Is Poly in a crazy mood again today?

My bf and I finally watched Fast and the Furious last weekend. It was okay but my favorite is still Tokyo Drift. We were hesitant to watch this 4th one but it was alright.

I alwys thought that was odd at the theater in Moreno Valley too. No one used the kiosks.

We don't have those here in MN. Only the fandango machines where it prints it out from buying it online. It costs extra.

When we lived in St Cloud, small college town, it was a pain to go to the movies. They would accept checks and cash only.. no credit/bank cards. Hardly anyone accepts checks anymore.. it was weird! I don't even have any checks, never bothered to pay for printing them. Online billing is much easier!

My mom had her checkbook and wallet stolen out of her purse ... distracted by a lady while her partner made the grab. She was so mad and frustrated with the police for not doing anything.

Meanwhile I'm like .. mom why do you have your purse in the shopping basket, open and your entire checkbook, social security card, credit cards, ID.. all of it within reach of others?

She didn't get it, she went on to how she won't trust any young persons trying to scam her.. but mom... why??? why???

I'm currently waiting for my mom.....she asked if I would go with her to Nordstrom. A family friend is getting married in 2 weeks overseas. My mom wants to find a nice dress and she hasn't been to the new Nordstrom here.

Oh, time to go. Hope you all have a great evening.

Is Poly in a crazy mood again today?

She's mellow, but give her time.
She tried to swipe at me when I was hauling her furry self out of my closet. We got her back later, rolled her in a big blanket and bounced her like a baby.

She wasn't amused.

If you're going to become a Hyena you are going to have to get rid of your social life on Friday nights.

Goodly Morning Hyenas! Another partially rainy day here...followed by a week of rainy days. Bleech! But at least this time of the year it's 60-65 and rainy, not 45 and rainy.

Last week on my garage sale/thrift center adventure I got a book of bread machine recipes. Lots of tasty looking recipes so I'm going to give a couple of them a try today. They have regular bread, french, even sourdough (but I need to make a sourdough starter ahead of time), as well as some good dessert breads and even a recipe for bagel dough. Might even bake some cookies also.

Then we are going to finish cleaning up garage, trailer, back porch and get all the garage sale stuff together. Work on making signage, pricing things, etc.

So I guess this weekend is my domestic diva weekend.

Good Morning Everyone

I'm off to pick up the cake soon. We plan to watch Wolverine and possibly eat Korean BBQ. Yummy!


Hope you all have a great day!

eek, the transition has started!

Hiya Albort! I'm assuming the DL job/employment situation. I think I remember you talking about some changes that were coming.

Don't worry about things, I'm sure you're a good employee and just go with the flow. Don't worry about things that you have no control over. All we can do in life is our best and that's that! Fear of the unknown is always usually worse than the reality. Hang in there!

Got everything priced for the garage sale and taken down to my neighbor's shop. We are doing it at her shop across the road from our house, since we have such a steep/non-car friendly driveway.

Spent all morning pricing items and then spent all afternoon getting the trailer cleaned out for beginning of camping season. Woo Hoo! Got our first camping trip planned for weekend after next (weather permitting of course).

Going to work on cleaning off the back porch today. Uggh!

Hello!! Nothing exciting here... Just hanging out with the kiddos. Hubby is working 40 hours for at least the next couple of weeks.. cool beans, yo. We watched Tropic Thunder last night.. Too funny. NOT for kids, thank goodness we didnt let Alex watch it. He wanted to, but we Vetoed that one with a quickness.. And realized just why about 5 seconds into the movie!

Ugh, I don't think I will ever have a garage sale again. People are so frustrating and there is so much work involved with little reward, I feel for you. I will gladly shop garage sales but no more hosting them.

I thought tropic thunder was so funny, I think it's one of those you have to be in the right kind of mood for.

On another note, is it normal for 3 week old babies to be really skinny? My friend's new baby has super skinny arms, I'm used to seeing fat babies. Even dh said to me the baby didn't look healthy it's arms are so skinny. So is it normal? I've seen the mum feed the baby so I know she's not starving.

Good morning all! DBF and I went down to Long Beach yesterday. The weather was so nice. We still have our fingers crossed for the cruise. So far they have changed the ports of call for cruises thru the 11th and ours leaves on the 14th. We really don't want to go to Catalina. If they do change ours we will most likely reschedule for later in the year, but I read online that Mexico is re-opening business on Wednesday because the Swine Flu threat is receding.

My bf and I finally watched Fast and the Furious last weekend. It was okay but my favorite is still Tokyo Drift. We were hesitant to watch this 4th one but it was alright.

I though part 4 was also just ok. And Tokyo Drift is my fav too.

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you all had a good weekend. On Saturday my bf and I picked up his b-day cake. The party was on Sunday but the bakery is closed on Sundays. Oh my goodness....the cake was BEAUTIFUL and looked so pretty. It was also really really heavy. The bakery did an awesome job. I will post pics for you guys to see later. It tasted heavenly, honestly, best cake I've ever tasted! It wasn't overwhelmingly sweet and it was perfect.

On Saturday afternoon my mom called me and asked if I could pick up my little sister from her art class. My bf and I picked her up and then we went out for Korean BBQ. It was really really good. Then we headed back to my house where we played Smarty Pants on the Wii.

My bf got called into work. Normally he is off on weekends but one of their facilities in northern CA closed down. All their orders were transferred to my bf's work. Apparently they receive at least 1,000 orders a day!

His supervisor loused up the schedule and they didn't have enough workers. She took a 2 week vacation to Hawaii. Nice huh? Louse up the schedule and then take off to another state. My bf was super stressed out on Friday (the day of his b-day). Then to have to go back into work on his day off made him stressed out even more. He worked from 5:30pm to almost 10:30pm. They wanted him to go in again yesterday but he said no.

Sunday we watched the new XMen movie. It was really awesome and we both liked it. Hugh Jackman is HOT!

We grabbed a small lunch on the way home and then left later in the evening to his family get-together. There were people there whom we didn't know and we were also told the wrong time to show up. We showed up an hour after everyone else and they all had already eaten. It wasn't too big of a deal but it just wasn't well planned I guess. We also had trouble getting into his cousin's apartment because no one was answering their cell phones. He called his uncle and his mom and none of them answered. After several phone call attempts, his cousin's husband finally called him back. Other than that, the food was good and we had a great time. I'll post some pics later.

Hope you all have a great day!

Good morning everyone!! My sister comes tomorrow!!

I'm a little freaked out though, she's going to be at three airports in one day and with swine flu going around I'm really hoping she doesn't bring anything here. Have any advice for me short of kicking her out?
