Halloween

Kim and Adam's annual Halloween party was another hit this year!  Marianne and Xavier came up from Culver City and we all got to catch up!  Missing this year was the live rat, and tequila shots (which I missed last year too) both I am sure were not missed too much by Kim.  I was Strawberry Shortcake, Kim was an October Fest girl and Marianne was a Giant. Good times had by all!

Wine Tasting Cycle Tour

Holy hotness.  Jes, Les, the Melos and the Beiers signed up for a wine tasting cycle tour through Livermoore.  Scheduling it in October sounded like a great idea as we we hoping that the weather would not be too hot or too cold.  We were wrong. I think it was about 85 degrees outside.
Had the Beiers been more seasoned riders or on better shape, this may have not presented such an issue.  BUT, the description DID say this was good for beginners and that there was only one small hill (LIES all LIES).
The first non-hill I had to walk my bike up, the second non-hill I made it up with a little extra effort and the third and only one THEY considered a hill and made up half way and walked my bike they rest of the way up. 
When we got to the first winery I was so hot, tired and sweaty that I was in NO mood to taste anything but water and the cool air of the barrel room.
From the first winery it was all downhill and big hills at that.  No peddling necessary!  The rest of the trip was a lot more fun;  Especially when I figured out how to use my bike correctly and I was not peddling like a mad woman.
It was a fun, hot day.  Will I do it again? No. But I can say that I did it once!

Circus time

*Preface- I going through laser hair removal for my 'beard' and 'mustache'. Because of the EXCELLENT hair genes I have inherited, this process it taking a little longer than average (OK A LOT longer). So, in order for the follicles to be 'killed' you have to shave in between treatments. I use Keith's old Norelco electric shaver and it works perfectly...until tonight.

Words my husband does NOT want to hear come out of my mouth:
"Babe, I was shaving my mustache and I cut my lip!"

P.S. it is bleeding and hurts...poor me

What the WHAT?

This morning on my way to work I saw TWO amazing sites:

1. Guy driving in the fast lane at 70mph, on his cell phone, while also holding a stack a papers against his steering wheel reading them.

2.Girl in middle lane going about 65mph, one hand on the wheel the other hand applying EYE LINER (via eye liner pencil) while looking in her vanity mirror.

Really people? Really?

Horsey Time

These are the awesome pictures from mine and Leslie's horse back riding adventure!  It was Leslie's first time on a horse!  Our leader & coach was Heather she was Great!  Les rode Odi and I rode Cisco, I can't remember Heather's horses name.  We even rode through 2 rivers and got nice and wet ( I wish I had a picture of Leslie through the the rivers she was hilariously scared).  We encountered a hunter, but did not get shot, and Odi almost crapped on my foot.  In the end it was a super fun adventure!

Timptations

After weeks and weeks of hearing Melissa brag about her fresh fruits and vegetables, how she eats so many more vegetables and how much she loves it, I finally broke down.  

I have joined TIMPTATIONS!

Yesterday I picked up my first box of fresh, organic, yummy treats.  We had the broccoli for dinner and pomegranates for dessert!  It is kind of an adventure.  You get a box full of stuff and then you get to come up with things to make.  Check out their web site www.timptations.com
