we interrupt this...

I totally forgot to post pictures of what happened the other day next door to my house. It seems about every six months or so, something out of the ordinary is happening at my front door. This time was no exception...

This is the hot air balloon that landed on my neighbors roof one morning. I saw it as I was leaving my house to go to work.

This is Ellie at our bedroom window looking out once they got it off the roof and in the empty lot directly behind us.

Exciting stuff I tell ya!

Also, I have to fill in for Jen on Friday so I am taking Thursday off this week. Having to figure out what to do with Ellie is really the hardest part. Wouldn't it be so much easier if I just didn't work or worked out of the house? Any ideas? (no really, any ideas)? Anyway, the reason I am putting this out there is because now I can go to the opening of H&M. It is what I call the equivalent of IKEA only it is clothes. Should be a good time.

i'm bringing sexy back...yeah

them other mothers don't know how to act...yeah



Took Joaquin to see Justin Timberlake last night as a surprise anniversary gift. He was so excited. And we were not the oldest ones there! So happy to surprise someone - fun!

it's time.

So, did you all see this?

Truthfully, the only memory I have of this place is going to see Gregg Peterson in the lounge. Is that a good thing or bad thing?

And the next one to go? Any thoughts from anyone?
I'm thinking either
a) Excalibur (and I mean no disrespect to the previous "owner"). I mean I have fond memories of being chaffered around like we owned the place but come on - the place truly is a dump.
or
b) Riviera. Another dump. The only memory I have of this place is going to get tickets refunded for a show since I got drunk earlier with my mom and her friends (or I think it was just me that got drunk). Regardless, they did actually refund the tickets. Why? Probably because they are nice people. But, it still needs to go.

go mom.

So, yesterday my mom was actually scrapbooking. In a scrapbooking store. At a scrapbooking class. I had to stop by for some support but she was already done as she was the only one in the class!

Anyway, who knows, maybe she will really let her creative juices flow and want to do this new craft all the time!

Mom, any interest in this?

In other news, it is a much needed date night tonight with Howard Jones! As in the Howard Jones, as in HoJo from the 1980's. Here's hoping I can get a good photo!

Have a good day.
