Nothing in particular, just

Here are a few random thoughts...

I was shown just what a spoiled area I am in today at lunch. I was at a light that had four lane going each way. On my side of the intersection, I was in the third lane. In the first lane was a Porsche convertible, second lane was a mercedes convertible, in front of me was a BMW convertible and the fourth lane had a Brand new Jaguar. I wish I could have gotten my camera out fast enough. Madi would have loved to see that. If this were to happen in my small town back home, it would make the front page of the paper!

I saw a Pepsi delivery truck that had spinners on it. If you don't know what spinners are, they are the rims that people spend rediculous amounts of money on that make the car look like the wheels are still spinning once the car has stopped. See below. Normally the people who purchase these items are trying to be cool. Personally I think they are silly. Anywho, they were actually on a real Pepsi truck here in LA.

My absolute favorite song in the whole wide world is Escape by Rupert Holmes. I used to think that I knew the song when I was younger...which meant I could sing the chorus. But have you ever listened to all of the words? If you haven't, you need to. If you have, just listen again for old times sake.

Pardon your french...

Okay, I try to not have too dirty of a mind as I walk through life. But some things are just in your face. Like today, I'm commenting on my friend Mark's blog and the word verification pops up as always. And for some OCD reason, I always have to try to pronounce them or see if they are an acronym for something. So...It comes up and here it is...

What phrase does this sound like at first glance to you?

We had spaghetti for dinner

I just had to show you how my almost two year-old eats his isth-getti.

Don't you wish you could be this messy sometimes?

I just thought he was so cute. But only in the process of eating it. When he gets full and starts playing...that's a whole different ball game! I always have mixed feelings about making it because I know what a mess I will have to clean up. But he loves it so...I guess the little shit is worth it! Only cuz I love him so much!!!

This is home for now

Well, as it turns out, this suite will be our home for as long as we are here. I'll have to tske some picks to show you our luxurious home. (haha) As I was trying to fall asleep last night I thought of a really neat way to photograph our room to give you the Full Monty. I think I might try it today, to see if it works out.

It also seems that this is going to be a bit longer than expected and I'm at a loss for what to do. Vinnie came home yesterday and tells me that this job (that was supposed to be 6 to 8 weeks) might be 10 weeks. Okay, if it is 8 weeks then he was going to get a two week break and we were going to go on vacation with the kids. (like we're not already!) We would go home and he would come back for another 85 days. Then...whatever, on to the next job, blah, blah, blah...

Well, it seems that my sweetheart has done such a jam up job here, and impressed just the right people, that they love him. He came here to be an operator. Sit in the crane and move things. Now he's a foreman that escorts cranes around the plant, does lift plans and tells them how to set up. They want him to stay at least through the shutdowns they have planned through next spring. Uh, okay. This means if this job takes 10 weeks (like it looks), then no break. He will go straight to the next job here in the same plant and then the next one after that...that's supposed to be until next Springish. What do I do?

I've considered us staying here and letting the girls spend a year in California. I know Madi would love that...Little Miss "I don't want to move" says she would jump at the chance to stay here. I have no idea how custody would work though.

So we shall see. I have to go for now. I have a dog howling to go to the dog park!!
