I almost missed it.

Yeah. It's September already. This post has been a long time coming. Our summer was filled with cool breezes, pool visits, and a couple of getaways, a special guest, and a whole bunch of other stuff that I can't quite remember off the top of my head but you know what this means right? Yes ya'll. A photo update. An almost 3 month photo update. Fasten your seatbelts.

I've done it again.

I've fallen behind and haven't posted in a long long time. I'm not even gonna go there. Ya'll see the dates. Sorry guys, but I'm back. Updates are on the way.

Happy Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother's out there! I've had the most magnificent day with my significant other. We got an early start and stuffed ourselves at Home restaurant in Los Feliz. Beeautiful. The food was amazing. Then we headed down Melrose to Christian Audiger and to The Grove for some shopping ;) It turned out to be a really beautiful day. I tried to get as many pics as I could with my piddly lil iphone camera because I left the biggun at home.

I'll have the eel please...

Andrea has mentioned in the past that she has never eaten at a real sushi place and that she would like to try it sometime. So one Saturday we headed over to the Beverly Center for some shopping & sushi. When I lived in the Valley we used to send 2 people during work to Sushi Mac to get us all cheap sushi. Aah, memories. Some people sleep on Sushi Mac because they serve small portions but at the end of the meal, the price is juuussst right. So instead of driving all the way over the hill, we went to the one on 3rd.

Hi Ya'll!

I've been a little lazy with my posting lately but after all those updates I figured ya'll needed a break. The usual 'busy' has been on and poppin, plus a little extra that I'm hoping that I'll be able to let out of the bag soon. The kids had their spring break. The lil one had 2 whole projects (which I neglected to take pics of, Bad sMom.)one of which was about sea life. Perfect opportunity to skip outta work early and go to the Aquarium of the Pacific! Peep the pics!

My absolute favorites were the exhibits that were 'hands on' The stingrays were the best because you could touch them as they swam by. I could have stayed there all day. They were huge and slimy to touch. I was so busy touching the anemonies that I forgot to take pictures!

I'm an official twitterrer.

Laaaaard a mercy.

Testing

For some reason, my photos aren't posting...

My name is andrea. I'm a control freak.

For a while now I've been trying to reel in any kind of extra dough I can using the lil talents I was blessed with. I've been writing papers for college students that have better things to do than write stinkin papers. So my most recent "assignment" was an essay examining the advantages and disadvantages of having someone in your life who's a control freak. Now I'll be the first to admit, I like to have control. Makes me feel warm and fuZzy. But I wouldn't put myself into the 'freak' category. Who, me? Puh-leeze. Well, while reading the literature provided for me to pull of my lil paper scheme, all of the scenerios fit me to a t. It was almost as if the author hid out in my closet to do her research. It was quite the eye opener. Too bad I didn't save it for the mr. He could probably use some enlightening on this subject as well. LOL.
