Take a Bow

I love turning 29! So far this almost to 30 thing has worked out pretty well. I am definitely feeling the love! Thanks for the wishes and gifts everyone. I know it sounds cliche but I really did not expect anything so any and everything was a surprise.

Yesterday Mr. Blog took me to the Candlelight Dinner Pavilion to see the play Guys and Dolls. We went to the matinee. I'd been there once before to see Dream Girls a few years back and I loved it so much. Mr. Blog made the reservations himself and set everything up and he really did a good job. When I was there the first time I sat on the ground floor, had a delicious dinner, and watched a marvelous show (it was better then the movie version with Jennifer Hudson and Eddie Murphey). This time around we were in the Sapphire room, a private room at the top of the theatre. I have never been in a sky box before. It was so cool. We had two waiters, one to pour water and one that checked on us and brought our meal (for me stuffed chicken breast with roasted veggies and for him tri-tip with a baked potato and roasted veggies)/dessert( we shared the Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich-peanut butter ice cream with strawberry sorbet sandwiched between butter cookies and drizzled with strawberry reduction). When I left to go to the bathroom I looked back at the door and noticed there was a peephole on the other side. I guess that is for them to look in on you in case you need something. It was so nice just being up there with just the two of us and to think when he told me got a "booth" I complained about it and said he should have just got us seats on the ground floor again. So picky....


The show was pretty good. We both had never seen it before and Mr. Blog had never been to a dinner theatre. We really enjoyed the performer who played Sarah one of the title characters. She was outstanding and we agreed that she out sang everyone on the stage. Keeping in mind I've never seen it I think the audio could have been a bit louder and some of the #'s seemed like they lacked the full energy the scene called for if you know what I mean.


After the show we came home and rested and then Mr. Blog took me to Cabazon to buy a new Coach. I'm not one to get something just because someone is paying for it so I didn't end up with anything. I love, love, love Coach but to me it seems like the outlet is not getting the quality it used to so I guess I have to stick to $$$ the retail stores. We ended up going on a mini shopping spree for me and I got clothes instead. You can't wear a Coach purse after all and I desperately need clothes. Well, that is my Sunday update. Have a great week!

I H A T E Ants!

Isn't it supposed to be fall or something? What is with all of this ant business? Mr. Blog and I were up till midnight scrubbing down every counter in our kitchen and then when we turned around they were coming out of cracks and stuff. We scrub the floors they switch to the counter, we scrub the counter they switch to the floor. I mean seriously there is no food in any room but the kitchen. It is crazy. We bought traps from Home Depot but I guess they are not enough. They worked last year :/. I guess we have created super ants with a high immunity or something. I should have known it was gonna be bad when this summer I couldn't even step into the backyard without seeing ants trailing up and down my stocks of corn, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Ugh. I finally had enough when I decided to make myself breakfast this morning only to be welcomed by the resurgent army. I called in an order to Farmer Boys and went to my moms to get a referral coupon. Did I mention I hate them? If you don't hear from me again it might be because they carried me away.




Note to ants: You belong outside and not inside. That way I don't have to call the Orkin man at the tune of $105 to come and show you the way out!

Guess Who's Back?

Its been a long time--I shouldn't have left you--without a dope beat to step to :). It has almost been a year......I guess I should update this thing. I'm not really sure what direction this blog is gonna go in the next few weeks. It started off as sort of a food hybrid but now I'm feeling like I just want to put up whatever I want :P. That way I'm more apt to post and I have more to post. Today there will be no pictures, no stories, nothing but me saying I'm back and stay tuned!
