Who wants a drink?

We went wine tasting at Agua Dulce Vineyards last weekend. I have discovered that I don't like real wine, it's so bitter. We were so dissatisfied with the aged grape juice that we went to a restaurant and got sloshed on margaritas and Heinekens afterwards. I didn't know that I had such a cheap tongue with no taste for sophisticated beverages

On another note my Dad is throwing a fit again. He is returning my letters unopened. I go through this with him about every year or so. I call and apologize for whatever I did to upset him. He gets mad if I don't call him every month or two. How immature. I guess it would KILL him to pick up the phone and call me for once.

More Time With Auntie

A day at the park.

It was college service night on campus for my Astronomy class. We took the telescopes out to the quad and invited passing students to take a look at the moon, Venus or Saturn. I asked Art, Baz and Adeleigh to visit me on campus that night. It was so much fun to show off my son to my lab partners and have my family there with me. There was also an Art show on campus that night as well. It was such a neat experience. I love college. Here is a pic of the little guy running around campus.

I had such a fun week with Adeleigh. We went to Universal Studios, China Town, played tennis, had fun at Peter Piper, went to the park, Library and a Fiesta. Thanks for visiting me Sis. Lets do it again soon.

Where did you go?

I'm still here, just been busy.

Busy drumming that is!

A Day At Universal Studios Hollywood

We spent the day at Universal Studios. If you buy admission for one day you get the year free, so it was worth it. Even considering that there isn't a whole lot to do there. There are only three rides, none of which are children's rides. There are a quite a few shows to see. Most of the shows have been running for the past 8 years or more. So we spent a good part of the day hugging Nickelodeon characters as you can see here. Of course we spent some quality time with our fav; Mr. Square pants himself! It was a great place to spend the day, have some lunch and stroll through City Walk. For more pics of us having fun at Universal, check out Art's blog.

I'm Ready!

It was a Sponge Bob Birthday party! We celebrated Baz's second B-day at my Mother's house last weekend. I wanted to post a picture of her and my sister jumping around in the Sponge Bob Bounce House, but I wasn't sure if she would like it. We had Sponge Bob cake, a Sponge Bob pinata and Sponge Bob goody bags. We also had a Sponge Bob DVD playing on the TV. It was a lot of fun. Since I had my son, I had been looking forward to throwing parties, and going to parties. It was great, I can't wait till next year.

The Griffith Observatory

The Griffith Observatory opened , free to the public, in 1935, built on land donated by Griffith J. Griffith. The observatory was closed in January 2002 to undergo a 93 million dollar renovation. A second level was added under the main floor to preserve the outside appearance of the observatory. Reopened in November of 2006, the hype resulted in an overflow of visitors. I don't know why. I was disappointed with the exhibits. Nothing exciting or interactive! A 20 minute wait for the shuttle ride there and back, no quick stroller accesses, hidden elevators and small hallways made my visit unsatisfactory. Not exactly a great place to take toddlers. Leonard Nimoy donated a million dollars to open the Event Horizon Theater on premise that shows a short film about the renovations made over the last 4 years. Whup De Do! That's what I get, what can you expect for free admission? This statue of Einstein was the most exciting thing I saw that day.

I finally did it. After dropping out of college 6 years ago, I finally re-enrolled and registered for classes at the local community college. I was only 8 classes away from graduating when I dropped out back in 2001 to go to Pharmacy Technician school. I have been yearning to go back to school, I even dream about it. I know I have a lot on my plate, studying to get re-certified as a pharm tech, then looking for a job, taking classes, cooking dinner taking care of my son... But it'll be great! I'm so scared and excited. I've been wanting this for years, I just hope I don't drop out again.

It's been awhile

After being home with my son for 2 years, I have decided I want to go back to work soon. I've been busy studying to take my Pharmacist Technician Certification Exam, to get re-certified. It has been while since I have posted anything, so I thought I would put up some random pictures of us having fun.

Day At The Museum

The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles is actually more fun than it sounds. Our son has become fascinated with dinosaurs, so I thought it would be a neat place to take him. There aren't as many dino skeletons as I thought there would be. The museum is currently trying to raise money for a larger dinosaur exhibit. Nevertheless, it was a lot of fun, educational and a great way to spend a rainy Saturday.

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays Everyone!
I just thought it was time to put some pictures of Christmas Trees on my blog.




I hope Baz isn't being naughty!
Santa is watching.

Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!

















Here is another tree.

Let's All Go To The Movies

We took our 22 month old son to the movies for the first time to see Happy Feet. You never know if it is going to be a good or bad experience when taking a toddler to the movies. Overall, he was really good. But considering that it was a two hour movie, he didn't stand a chance of making it through quietly. It was a really cute movie! Maybe I liked it so much cause it has been years since I've actually been to a movie theater. I told myself I wouldn't try to take Baz to a theater again till was three. However, since Baz is under two years of age, and gets free admission, we will be going to the movies again next month.

Giving and Thanks

Happy Turkey Day Everyone!!! I made a bunch of Turkey Cupcakes to take to my Mom's for Thanksgiving. I'm sure my Brother's will Gobble them up!! They are almost too cute to eat.

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble!

Fun Weekend!

Baz's first time in a bounce house at a baby shower on Saturday. I can't beleive he had to wait 21 months to finally experience a jumper. Bad Mommy.
