August 3 // The Best.

August 2 // Yes.

First day off in a long while.
Enjoyed it on the couch accompanied by Kate & a full day of The Next Food Network Star (we quickly got addicted).
6PM church service.
Saw old friends.
Listened to [my high school pastor] Albert speak.
Great sermon, great worship.
Night ended with Cheesecake Factory double date.

Good day.

August 1 // Next Hallmark Card?

These are the triplets I've recently started sitting.

Since they are baby "actresses", their Mom decided they would look really pretty in their swim hats and sunglasses for a "celebrity photo shoot".

The whole thing just really makes me laugh...

July 31 // Sushi dates

are my favorite with the boyfriend.

July 30 // Noteworthy Blog.

I want to introduce everyone to Matt's new blog,
"Things I Come Across"
It's devoted entirely to sharing the weird and unusual things that Matt happens upon.

I do believe you will like it as much as I do...

July 29 // We're Scary..

But don't judge us.
You're probably a little scary too.

July 28 // For Sale?

This is my beloved '88 Honda Accord.
I've decided to try and sell it....
(we'll see what happens with the economy the way it is)

If you know anyone shopping in the Honda market, feel free to pass my email along:

July 27 // 500 Days of Summer on 365 Days in Photographs

cheesy title?
I couldn't help it.

Great movie.
Next on the list: Away We Go.

July 26 // Bbacher Game Night

We're becoming obsessed with this game.
and contrary to popular belief...
I don't cheat

July 25 // Sick Once Again...

July 2008 : Strep
August 2008: Tonsilitis
October 2008: Strep
May 2009: Strep
June 2009: Tonsilitis
July 2009 (today): Tonsilitis

This is my sick list of the past year.
I woke up this morning with a fever & swollen tonsils AGAIN.

My morning was spent at a new doctor's office (which was way cool by the way); getting blood drawn & other tests taken, in order to figure out why I've been sick 3 times in the last 2 1/2 months (and 6 times in the past year). They came to the conclusion that it's time to get my tonsils out.

Agreed.

July 24 // Showing Off.

It's been a few weeks since I've visited the cousins, so they had lots of new "tricks" to show me when I showed up for dinner tonight.

Oh, and we had "ma-statos" for dinner.
(or otherwise known as, "potatoes", to anyone except Landon.)

July 23 // Date Night, Game Night

A few games of Rummy with ridiculously large playing cards,

Matt Q cheating me out of a very important card (even though I "obviously" had it first & was losing by A LOT),

Kate & I killing it at battle of the sexes Cranium (which was an improvement from the tears I shed at last year's game night.....don't ask),

Me understanding Kate's interpretation of a silent "bridge",

Kate understanding my interpretation of "Monica Lewinsky"

Matt & Matt trying to be "creative cats" with their eyes closed,
......

all makes for a great night of date night, game night.

July 22 // Ouch.

When I woke up this morning with a stiff neck like I'd never had before, I knew I was being punished for not going to my chiropractor in over 9 months...

I was right.
I found out that I had thrown out my upper back & right shoulder from sleeping on too stiff a pillow (really?? all that from a pillow??).

After being hooked up to wires & machines, & cracked in all sorts of places, I'm finally feeling a little better & in a few days I should be all back to normal!

July 21 // Heat Wave.

Driving a car with no air conditioning has increasingly become more brutal with these 90-100 degree days.

BUT thank God for these cool summer nights --- they will never ever get old.

July 20 // Mini.

Why are pancakes of the mini form so much more appetizing than regular sized ones??

July 19 // Roomies Day 2.

More filming today.
We cranked out another couple of episodes, as well as the promo for the series.

The series will air weekly at www.LetsBeRoomies.com starting in a few weeks.

July 18 // Roomies.

My day was spent on the set of "Roomies".
I worked as the on-set photographer and quickly learned the ins and outs of the "movie biz".

A couple of my friends from CSUN have their own production company and are beginning to film this web series that will soon be aired online, as well as Dish Network.

Stay tuned for the web address!

July 17 // Play Date.

It's another Friday with Max and today we went on a play date with my favorite zoo, Ben, Abby, & Emma.

July 16 // Bad Day.

One of those days when everything just seems to go wrong.

But, it was a better night when Katie met me for coffee to catch up on life / listen to me vent / move a few things for my new apartment.

Life is seemingly getting more stressful.

July 15 // Cat Sitting.

Never again.

July 14 // Waiting.

I've been house sitting for the Bbachers this past week
(I'm just now writing about it in case I've got creepsters reading this stuff)
They come home today & I think Captain & I are both a little excited to have some familiar faces in the house again !

July 13 // More Apartment Hunting.

Becky, Britt & I spent a day up at school because Britt is joining me in the fall & needs an apartment!

July 12 // Broken.

This is Matt recovering from ACL surgery.

He's in a lot of pain...but may be exaggerating it a tad here.

July 11 // Thrifting with Nana.

Drove to Santa Clarita.
Picked up my cousin, Logan.
Drove to Lancaster to see the grandparents.
Went thrifting with Nana.
AWESOME thrifting experience.
Bought loads of fun stuff (for SUPER cheap).
Nana got new church shoes
and a compliment on her "bee hive" hairdoo.
Logan (finally) got hiking boots.
except she doesn't plan on hiking in them.
I got some fun apartment furnishings.
We're definitely doing this again.

P.S. Today's my dad's birthday!
HAPPY BDAY DADDY!

July 10 // Double Shift.

I pulled a double babysitting shift today.

...............I'm tired.

Max:
8AM-5PM

Kate & George:
6PM-11PM



Matt had ACL surgery today.
Keep him in your prayers as he recovers!
Thanks.
