My favorite place to hear music: Post Gazette Pavilion

Well since this is where I've seen most if not all of my concerts, I don't have much to compare it with. The best part is being able to tailgate in the parking lot before and after the shows. A few years in a row, my friends and I went to the Dave Matthew's Band and Steve Miller Band concerts every summer. Those had to be my favorites because it didn't matter how sober I stayed because I knew what I was going to hear when we went in. Oh to be young with no worries again!! I have many GREAT memories from this venue!!!

The Sham Wow does not sell itself

I can say that I haven't but my husband did. He actually bought the Sham Wow. We actually call it the Scam Wow now. Those do not work AT ALL! I'm still shocked to watch those commercials and see what those people pick up with the towels. I want to know how they do it because ours are not able to do what they can.

I do enjoy watching infomercials though. They are sooooo funny to watch as long as you don't get suckered into buying the product.

Twilight Obsessed

Let me just start by saying that I know I'm a dork. I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan and now a HUGE Twilight fan. I have read the books and went to see the movie in the theater. I never thought I could get this obsessed with a kid/teen series again. But I did. The best thing is that Twilight is coming out on DVD Saturday, March 21. I am truly anticipating to see the movie again. My sister had the great idea of having a party to watch the movie. So I'm even more excited now.

Yesterday my day was spent checking the author's website. I was probably online for over 5 hours just reading the site. Her website is great because her brother updates it with all the latest info he hears from Stephenie. I have been checking it none stop since yesterday hoping they update it with more.

My sister found out that the actor who plays Jacob in the movie was going to be interviewed online tonight. So of course I was right at my computer listening to every word he had to say. He talked a lot about making the second movie New Moon. Makes me want to see that now but unfortunately they haven't even started filming yet. Luckily they are trying to get this movie out as soon as possible.

So until I get that DVD and get to watch all the extras I'm going to be looking online none stop. My sister and I are actually going to go out at midnight that Friday to get the movie. I just had to let everyone know that the Twilight series is great and if you love reading they are REALLY good books.

Let me tell you what I do

I am a nanny. I watch a toddler boy for 9 hours of the day. I give him a bottle at 7:30 when I get there. Then a little later I feed him whole food. He's in the process of learning to feed himself so it varies what I give him. After eating, we play in the living room with his toys and books. I put him down for a nap between 9:30 and 10. He will sleep between 1 to 2 hours. When he wakes from his nap, he gets another bottle. I feed him some more people food after his bottle for lunch. If the weather is nice, which it usually is living in San Diego, we go for a walk outside. I let him crawl from room to room, listening to music and playing with toys. I try to put him down for an afternoon nap between 1:30 and 2. He usually doesn't nap during this time but I let him listen to music and relax in his bed for an hour. During this time I finish doing his laundry and washing his dishes. After the hour I feed him another bottle and food. This usually takes us to when his mom comes home from work.

I think I have the best job in the world. Working with the little boy just brightens my day. The parents are wondeful too and we get along great. All of this makes me look forward to going to work everyday.

My favorite line from 'Hot Rod'

I've been drinking green tea all day, I'm freakin pumped!!

I love this line because the guy is getting ready to fight another guy. He gets out of his car and says this line. I think it's soooo funny because I couldn't imagine drinking green tea all day would pump you up for anything!!

Something New

I'm going to try something new with my blogging. I found this site that gives you daily prompts to blog about. I'm going to try to post the answers to these questions as much as I can. At least with the ones I like and have a response to. I hope I'll be able to post a lot more with these prompts but we'll see.

What a Great Weekend

I have had such a great weekend. First off the weather has been beautiful so that always makes for a good weekend!! Saturday I was invited for lunch with some of my girl friends from the preschool. I haven't seen some of them forever. It was great to catch up with all of them and hear the drama that I don't have to deal with anymore with the preschool.

After lunch Dave and I did a little shopping. I needed a few products to do my new hairstyle and we needed groceries BAD. I had an interesting experience getting my eyebrows waxed. The lady asked if she wanted me to trim before waxing. I said if they look like they needed it. I guess they did cause she trimmed them. After she waxed them she started plucking the left over hair. All of a sudden she started laughing and saying that I was missing a hair on the top of my eyebrow. She showed me and I really didn't understand what was sooo funny. Every time she started talking about it she just kept laughing. She was trying to make jokes about it but I really didn't find it funny. It's not that I minded too much cause it's not noticeable at all, but it's just the fact how funny she thought it was. She tried making a joke that I was going bald on my eyebrows. I was so ready for her to be done after that. At least she did a good job.

Dave and I went out for dinner Saturday night which we haven't done forever cause of being on weight watchers. It was just so nice to be out, dressed up, just the two of us. We thought about going to see a movie but there was nothing we really wanted to see. Plus we weren't that excited to pay $20 to see something we didn't want to. It's crazy how expensive going to the movies has become. We came home and watched Righteous Kill we had from Netflix. It was a decent movie with a twist at the end. I like those kinds of movies that end unlike how you thought.

Today we got up and washed our cars in the morning. I couldn't believe how dirty my car was. I love having a clean car to drive around in too. Especially living out here because most cars are kept clean with the nice weather. After we went to the swap meet out here to get some color ink we needed for our printer. It's nice to buy it from there cause she buys your empty cartridge and it's much cheaper to buy the ink from there. I was in such a good mood today because I was outside getting some sun on this beautiful day. I needed to do something outside because I feel like I'm so white. I need to get some more sun.

Now I'm going to do some scrapbooking because Dave is out golfing. All in all it has been a great weekend. I look forward to next weekend too cause we already have plans to do something with on of our couple friends from out here Friday. Saturday night I'm going to babysit. I just hope this weather stays so I can continue to be outside and getting sun! Maybe I'll start looking like I actually live in San Diego.
