Today the team got me a lovely birthday cake with lots and lots of frosting!! Yay!!

I just heard over the weekend, this funny statement: "When you get past 30, you start aging in "dog years!!" uh oh!! So, I guess that makes me.. um.... a lot, a lot older.... hee hee

Joseph and I spent a lovely weekend in Ashland with Dad and Jeanne. We took in some shows (our favorite was Romeo & Juliet), had lots of fabulous meals and got to spend some time with them and enjoy the nice long weekend!! I got birthday messages on my phone - (which felt wonderful) and all in all had a really nice long Labor Day / Birthday weekend!!

Yay for birthdays!

What's Up With The Projects? Get Rid of Them!

2007-08-30T10:25:00.001-07:00

So I found this forum on people talking (or ranting rather) about the Projects.. The title is pretty much self explanitory: "What's up with the Projects? Get rid of them!"

I ran across one posting that I found to be quite amusing and definitely a different outlook on the area - this person, we'll call him "potrero phil" isn't upset about the projects - but rather all the yuppies moving to the hill!!

(and I quote....)

"now im not saying some of you havent lived on the hill for as long as i, 35 years, but seriously i believe we have bigger problems than car theft on the hill. this has been going on forever, i believe the invasion of yuppies is a much more pertinant issue. they are taking over the hill, slowly and surely. i used to get smiles and greetings everytime i passed my neighbors. now these cell phone toting, latte sipping human paraquates look at you crazy if you even nod in their direction. i say we take back the hill from these miata driving, live work loft, fancy chez blah blah types who think they can just push us out of the way. the projects are part of our history, people in the projects do great for our community. heres to the daily scoop and just for you, support your hill, dont complain becaUse you moved here on daddys trust fund 3 years ago from santa barbara and your e class benz window got cracked. im spent."

Here's a link to the forum:

This will be the death of me.... Today our team made a run to Costco.

As we filled our gynormous shoppping cart in the seemingly endless rows of food, household paraphernalia and palettes of boxed items, I wondered to myself.. hmmmm. 2lbs of Frosted Mini Wheats® , 5.5lbs of Red Vines® , 4 more lbs of Jelly Bellys® , a 5lbs bag of peanuts, another bag of 250 pieces of various candy (marked as "Funhouse Treats").. and other various snacking delights - I realized that I am: a.) going to have to remind myself that snacking on peanuts does not bode well for my keyboard b.)My sugar highs are going to be tons of fun, but the crashes are going to suck and c.) my dentist is going to kill me!!

Note to self: Must remember to excerise a lot lot more! (okay - even "at all" would be a good start)

If you need me, I'll be in our team lounge snacking on.. something!

lazy day at park chalet...

2007-08-06T15:28:00.000-07:00

I love it when Joseph and I take the girls to Park Chalet by Ocean Beach. We take a blanket and just spread out while sipping on riptide red ale or mimosas!! On Sundays @ 2pm they have live music and it's just a great way to hang out and enjoy ourselves.

It's like a hidden little gem of a spot! (shhh...)

greetings & salutations
