Bestest Day Before My B-day


My birthday isn’t until tomorrow and it is already turning out to be one of the bestest (an Ana term) birthdays ever! I already got a couple of birthday emails, some phone calls, and a beautiful bouquet of flowers with the sweetest card ever from my Marco. OMG this rocks!

Simon & The San Diego Zoo


A bunch of us decided to visit the San Diego Zoo over the weekend. This was my first time there and I absolutely loved it! Because Pablo is in Egypt at the moment I picked up a new little friend (Simon) to join me on my SD Zoo adventure. Don’t worry, he’s not a Pablo replacement…he’s just a temporary stand in. See more pictures here.

Rubio's Friday


This week’s Friday lunch wasn’t as adventurous as previous Friday lunches but I still made it a point to try something new from Rubio’s Baja Grill menu. I had one of their healthy salad choices which turned out to be super yummy with guacamole and roasted chipotle sauce which gave it an amazing flavor.

At Home


So I ended up getting sick again and had to stay home from work. The girls (Smuckers and Lily) love it when I stay home because it means they get to bug me all day and force me to play with them. They were being so sweet and cute that I decided to bust out the camera and take a few pics.

Terry & Eugenia


Mostly everyone joined Terry after work in celebrating his upcoming marriage to Eugenia. We had a wonderful buffet dinner, hung out with co-workers /friends and congratulated Terry. The lovely couple will be having their ceremony in Italy and then will be going to Egypt for the honeymoon. They were kind enough to invite Pablo along with them, that lucky monkey!
Congratulations Terry & Eugenia!

Omega Paw Litter Box


Today my girls got to try out their new litter box. The one we had was a little yucky and was way too much work to clean up. I found this Omega Paw litter box on Amazon for only $32 for the large size. This thing is so awesome! To clean up the mess you roll the entire box on its side and pull out a little tray that captures all of the kitty waste. See picture above for detailed instructions LoL.

"Watch Now" tab on Netflix


There’s a new tab on Netflix! Now you can watch (download) movies directly on your computer. No more waiting to get your movies via snail mail. Of course they have a small selection available at the moment, but the selection should expand soon. For those of you who don’t have the “Watch Now” tab, no worries, all you have to do is go to your account, cancel (but don’t really cancel it!), then go back to the previous page and your tab should be there. WooHoo!

Lucky Friday 13



Friday the 13th turned out to be pretty awesome! At work a bunch of us went to “El Pollo Inca”, some Peruvian restaurants that serves amazing rotisserie chicken, and had some yummy food. I ordered the ¼ chicken and beans with a side of plantains. Yum-Yum!

Later I joined my DL buddies in surprising Zachy at the Dodgers game he had tickets to. His girlfriend got tickets for everyone but didn’t tell Zachy. When they got to the game all of us were there. Yay! We celebrated Zachy’s birthday by watching a fun baseball game and having yummy Dodger Dogs. (More pictures here)

ARC Volunteer


Today I started my Volunteer process for the American Red Cross. I’m so excited! I have wanted to volunteer for stuff a little more since Heal the Bay and found the Red Cross through Volunteer Match.org. Today I attended my volunteer orientation and once my background check clears and I go through a quick interview I can start my training. I am still not sure what type of volunteering I want to get into but that’s what the interview portion is for. I can’t wait to get started!

405 Graffiti



The 405 freeway is really being polluted with graffiti lately! I have noticed that in the past few months the amount of graffiti that is showing up on the 405 is just crazy. It’s just everywhere and it looks awful. A lot of the graffiti that is going up seems to be pointless too; usually graffiti is used to mark territory but I actually saw a huge display of the word “YEAH” near the Santa Monica stretch of the 405. WTF, who the hell would graffiti that?!

405 Car Fire



Although the drive took a while, the 405 was a little more exciting today with a car fire on the 4th lane of the south bound side. That sucks for the owner of the car …not to mention those poor people on the south bound side. Yikes!

The Fit


Today Caitlyn showed up with her first car, a little Honda Fit. She is so excited! I’m so happy for her; she has waited a while for this.
