first of all i'm sorry i've been neglecting my blog and all of my neighbors. i will be back i promise. i've been in a funk and i can't seem to get out of it. anyway...
on a lighter note, i turned 35 last friday. my friends and family celebrated with me all weekend and i've got to say that
i thought for sure i was going to get a ticket for the dodger game so i rushed through all the gifts. LOL! sadly i didn't get to go but i got something even better. i got some gift cards, some pink converse, hoop earings, money from moms, and some really touching cards. my sister dug up one of my old albums from the 80's and she gathered some pics from the old days. very touching gesture. i made myself not cry. my brother rc also wrote me a very nice card and so did moms. my bff got us tickets to see the smashing pumpkins in december. am i loved or what?
after dinner we met for drinks at the big foot lodge and had a ball...
on saturday night we wen to see our drummer friend bob play with his new band at the knitting factory in hollywood. they are called cascade array and they were pretty good. more good times...plus the dodgers won! =)
oh and one one last note, i am officially a "cougar in training" accorning to some of me peeps. LOL!

L-O-V-E:
- i am getting a brand new computer at work because of the viruses. my boss said to me, see that's what happens when you look at porn. LOLs! he was totally kidding. i told him i did it on purpose so that i could get a new one! he said he was going to blackmail me and i said "OK, i will pay you off".

- that my bff is recovering well from his surgery and i will get to see him soon. plus he's getting an iPhone too! we call each other "wonder twins" and when we see each other we say "wonder twin powers...activate!" then we hit knuckes. we're retarded i know.
- that i am going to hang out with my cousin/little sis at her baby shower on sunday.
- hubby is going to the races over the weekend so i will have some "me" time on sunday. ;-)
- we went to my 12 year old cousin's birthday party on saturday night and we had a blast. here are some pics...
we celebrated my sister espy's 28th birthday last thursday. we had dinner at a local japanese restaurant which we got burned out on but i'm glad they liked it. i'm not a big fan of raw fish but i love california rolls and the shrimp rolls were pretty tasty too. we had a saki bomb which i had not had before and dessert while she opened her gifts. good times!
LOLs!
we were planning on going to a local hang out with some friends and my brothers but it didn't work out that way so we watched cloverfield which btw, i loved. around 10ish we headed to big foot lodge in los feliz. i love that place, it's so relaxing along with an awesome vibe. we met some drunkers that wanted us to go have a late nite bite at king taco. umm, thanks but no thanks. who are you again? ZOMG! after hanging out there and talking about god knows what and laughing til' our sides hurt we headed to the dresden. the place was packed like sardines but we made it in and hung out for a while. we were both pretty tired so we called it a night.
today i am nursing a pretty wicked hang over. but i had some things to pick up at costco so i made myself get up and get on it. after a nice hour nap i got back up and cleaned the house. hubby made dinner and now i'm relaxing online wondering what we're doing later...
on a couple sour notes, my work computer has a virus. i thought i cleaned it out but no luck. i had to shut it down on friday and wait until i can get it fixed on monday. i'm not sure how i got it but i am a little on the worried side. wish me luck! but that's not all. roxy has, according to paulie who was going to school to be a vet long time ago but changed career fields, has kennel cough. poor sunny boy. it doesn't seem to be bad but we are keeping a close eye on him and if it persists we will take him to the vet on monday.
i have a date with my younger brother tomorrow morning...have i mentioned that i'm getting my iphone tomorrow? fingers crossed and once again, wish me luck.
and now....
i have been so tired this week and i'm sure it's due to lack of sleep. i usually have to be in bed by 10pm no matter what but a couple days last week i went to sleep around 11pm because i was out gallivanting (as hubby calls it) playing "dr. phil". so i must have at least 8 hours of sleep otherwise i'm a zombie the next day. during the week i get up at 6am-ish and leave work at 4pm. so thank gawd for naps because i needed them plus this humid heat has not been helping me...zzzz.
last week, as i mentioned before, we celebrated my brother frank's 33rd birthday. we had a nice little crowd going and had a great time. our friend cindy, bob, my bff paulie, sis, brudder raymond, hubby, mom and i joined in on the fun. we had dinner at our local thai place (poor peeps that had to hear us LOL and talk soo LOUDLY). we had some extra time before the flick so we headed to my house for some cake and drinks before heading back out to watch pineapple express. ZOMG the movie is sooo darn funny, you must watch it! check out the visuals...
i am soo ready for this weekend...last night while we celebrated yet another bday (sis bday..more later) we got some great news. our cousin who's just like our sister finally found out she's going to have a girl. i am so excited for them. she's been having one ultrasound after another and the baby kept covering her privates...lol. i can't wait to meet my little niece...this will be our first. LOL!

good morning neighbors!
i am still trying to recover from a great weekend. i think i need to do a "cleansing" too because i went a little overboard celebrating t's bday, makes me feel better that i wasn't the only one. LOL!
i overslept today...could not sleep last night, i was tossing and turning and several times i woke up sweating like a pig. grrr! then i couldn't remember where i put some concert tickets i had recently purchased, so finally i got up and thankfully found the tickets.
hanging out at my bro's apartments on friday night was pretty cool. at times i felt a little out of place, i guess hanging out with several 21 year olds is not my thing anymore. *sigh* don't get me wrong there were peeps my age but when the real young ones got there we fled.
the laker game was pretty exciting and after the game pretty much everyone played rock band. sam and john did such a great john singing, total pros!
happy birthday hubby!!! do you remember this picture from last year? LOL!
no crows this year, i'm sure he was happy about that...
tonight we are starting the celebration at my bro's apartment. this is actually the first time he has us over and he's been there a year already...times flies. he's such a typical bachelor. ;o) i'm excited to get together with his friends and co-workers to watch the lakers game plus play some good ol' rock band. i don't know if i will work up the courage to sign but maybe after a couple vodka tonics with extra limes i will be good to go!
i got hubby a couple outfits and i had a fruit/nut basket mailed to his office this morning. i couldn't pass up embarrassing him since i know how much he hates to let peeps know it's his birthday...lol!
tomorrow we are having friends and family over for a bbq. hope we will all survive the hot weather...ugh!
happy birthday hon, love ya!
it was my little brothers raymond's birthday on wednesday. he turned 29.
we had dinner at a japanese restaurant we hadn't been to in a very long time (now i know why) LOL. he got a free bottle of saki. i said, "saki to me" but he wouldn't open it! boo.
we continued the celebration at my house for cake and gifts. roxy even joined in on the fun!
i love birthdays and i'm glad everyone had a good time!
omg talk about nostalgia...i don't even know where to begin?! paulie (my boy version of a girl bff, no he's not gay) and i had a great time at the 80's flashback concert at house of blues-hollywood. we got there just in time to see gene loves jezebel. i could not remember them that much except for "desire". the lead singer wore a huge headpiece and he sounded awful. he might consider giving up smoking! he could not hit any of the high notes and he kept making fun of himself which was cool, i guess. he kept trying to do tricks with the microphone stand that he ended up breaking it! what a crack up. one of the roadies came out and fixed it....their show was pretty lame but the good thing is that it was only a 40 minute show. of course the last song they played was "desire". i bet this was their only hit.
after i got some fresh air we went outside while waiting for the next band to set up. once we were back we made our way to the stage even though we felt like sardines but it was worth it. when in rome was the next band and i think they might have been one of my faves the whole night. they got the crowd into it and put on a great show.
now it was about midnight. we went back outside and on our way back made our way towards the front of the stage and that might not have been a great idea because dramarama was next. they seemed to have played about an hour. everyone else played 30-45 minutes. they had a new album to promote and they were lots of fun to watch. they ended their set with this song...and guess what happened next?
by now it must have been 1am and we were both so tired from standing since 9pm and pretty much dancing the whole time. (we paid for it dearly the next day) umm, are we out of shape or what? up next ...
but seriously we had such a great time plus we were celebrating paulie's bday early. and even though we were tired and our feet hurt from so much dancing we didn't care. it was awesome reminiscing about the past.
sunday i watched pretty in pink. perfect ending to an 80's weekend.
as i mentioned before i went with my girlfriend maricela to club libby lu on sunday to celebrate clarissa's 9th birthday with her little pals. the girls had such a good time and i had a blast watching them and took a zillion pics and a couple videos.
who ever came up with this idea is a genius! i think if i had a little girl i would take her and her palsies too!
the girls got to choose either a pink or black blouse and black tights. then they chose 5 gifts to put in their club sack, they made lip gloss, got their make up done, got their hair done, nails done, and at the end they do a dance in front of the store. too cute!
and finally, here are two videos of their dance finale.
