Oh man that was GOOD!!

I've had a bit of a sweet tooth lately and thought I'd hit the Ghiraredlli Factory that's less than a 5 min drive. Sure enough I left there with a small hot fudge sundae and a bag of chcolate. I won't lie, their saying is correct!

Moments of Timeless Pleasure...and how!

MLKJ weekend

The weather was in the high 60's here that three day weekend. I went and weeded for 4 hours on Saturday not that it needed 4 hours of weeding but it was so nice out I thought por que no??? (why not?)

I found out as well my lemon tree isn't a lemon three after all. It's an orange three that produces yellow oranges. Strangest thing. Maybe with a bit more TLC they'll turn a lovely shade of orange.

Help with granite!!

Alright boys and girls without giving too much away I am having problems selecting a granite color. I love them both. I don't want one too light or too dark. I don't think it's possible to go any lighter than what I currently have. See photos below and please let me know if you think darker or lighter.

Now I've included pictures that have my cabinet, floor and wall color. Alright people let's hear it!

Updates coming soon!

I promise that I will have a new slide show, back ground, marathon date and recent pictures by the end of the week.
Right now I'm going to get my New Year's Resolutions done. I fell asleep on New Years Eve well before midnight. (That was moving day and I was tuckered)
Off I go.
Be excited for updates this week. Woot woot!

I got my KEYS!!

Okay some may have heard through the grapevine that I was looking at buying a house and some this may come as a total shock. That's right, I'm on record, I've got my keys to my very own house. I didn't want to talk too much about it since me backing out of the condo in Sacramento and it crushed me. I knew life could happen this go around and not talking about it may be the best. I bought a foreclosure and got a screaming good deal. The house hasn't been occupied since Jan of 2007 and it's been move in ready. They took really good care of it. I'll post some pictures once I'm good and ready. Not trying to sound like a snob but I have the before and just want to get my things in there before I submit it after. Funny, paint makes all the difference in the world.
Off to celebrate. :P

Dollar Tree Christmas 12-21-08

Every year our group of friends get together over at my parent's house for a night of dollar gifts. One of the rules is you don't spend more than a dollar on each gift but there are some you just have to splurge on, what another $1?

I included a few of the favorites from the evening.

This is Jenna with the white bear that my parents got her. (yeah more than $2) She belongs to Rob and Chelyene.

After opening of the gifts was homemade enchiladas. YUM!! My favorite part!

100th post Woot Woot Christmas Eve

Our work Christmas party was a few weeks ago. Working in the home building industry during this economy crisis I can honestly say we don't have the budget like we use to. I'm cool with that. I'm lucky I still have a job and I'm grateful for that.

We had our work party at our Pleasanton Office. They had a caravan bus that came and picked some of us up in Manteca. There was a handful of us. Good times.

They had these two massage chairs in the office and I spend a BIG part of the time parked there.

They had a ping pong tournament and Ralph and Mike were practicing here. Santa came and he was also wanting in on the action.

They had a really nice lunch for us. Lori showing you what she's got going on.

They also had Texas Hold'em. I just took a picture, I have no idea how to play.

They had raffles throughout the day. I won the grand prize. A $250 gift card for the Stoneridge Mall. Woot Woot! Guess who's going shopping after Christmas and going to hit the killer sales? That's right...me!

I've mentioned Bass Pro Shop that opened in Manteca a few months ago...well with it being Christmas season they had to out do themselves with the festivities. They moved all the show boats to outside and made that section a children's area with different stations. I went there with Valerie and her beau, Kevin after our work party. I work with Valerie. She is a dear friend. We are all each other have at work...only other girl in the field. We got our picture taken with Santa who was a little creepy for me so I asked if we could take a pic next to this cute snowman. Never mind the family in the background.
