We met John Mayer!

Well, not really. Annette, Tori and I, about a million years ago, went to La Fondue for our girls night out. Our server was very nice and as we started drinking and chatting we started telling him what famous people we thought he looked like. He told us he gets John Mayer a lot and had even signed autographs for people. Funny!

So as I look at this picture, almost a year later (Thanks Annette for finally sending it) I notice a lot of other things that make me laugh. First, this guy looks nothing like John Mayer, although the chest whiskers are nice, hehe. I have some CRAZY eyes/smile look on my face (also see pictures from Mexico for more crazy eyes) it must be some kind of alcohol/chocolate overload response. Some guy is whispering sweet nothings in Annette's ear (creepy), and she too is also wanted to show off her chest whiskers, I mean lovely lady lumps. Tori is the only one that looks normal. Key word...looks. You see, after a few chocolate martini's (see table) she tends to start loosing things off her body, especially shoes. (I hope she reads this!)

Green Thumb?

I have never been very good at growing plants, or keeping them alive even after they have grown. I have discovered the "drip system" is the secret to keeping my plants alive. I was wandering outside the other day, and was proud of all my live plants and how good they looked.



These geraniums do not have a drip system, so I have had to remember to water them. They have made it almost 2 weeks! Yay geraniums!


I read that certain herbs keep the bugs away, so I planted a crap load of them. We seem to have a fly problem in the courtyard. They drive me crazy. Unfortunately, the flies are not bothered by the herbs. On the bright side, they smell great and look pretty.


A lot my plants have come from my mom. She is an AWESOME gardener and definitely has a green thumb! She loves to be in the garden, something that was not passed down. She grows the plants until they are strong and healthy. Then she transplants them to Carlyn Ave in hopes the drip system will keep them alive. She always checks on them, trims them, and adds some extra water when she is here. Thanks Mom...you RULE!



My green thumb post would not be complete without a photo of our botanical garden in the backyard. This is more my style! These plants are indigenous to California and are drought resistant. I am just trying to do my part! ;>

My Boys

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of playing with the Dylan and Luke while Melissa and Doug went to dinner. We (I) had a great time.





Baby Luke started out the evening with projectile (chunky) vomit all over the stroller, himself and the floor. Poor guy! But we wrapped up the evening with crackers, blueberries and lots of smiles!





Dylan had a relaxing evening of watching Wall-e, eating crackers, and stopping for a quick smile for the camera.

Hope they will come back soon!

Turkey Basting Time!

We are still working on the baby thing! Send fertile/ovulatory vibes our way!

Mammogram Madness

Yes, Today I had my first mammogram! Boy was it fun! No, Keith did not participate (see photo above).

After all the stress of everyone telling me how bad it was, and how much it would hurt, it was a piece of cake. Yes, they squeeze your boob between a metal plate and a plastic plate but it does not hurt. So, this post is solely to ease your mind when it comes to the feared mammogram, have no fear!
