Summer Bummer

Summer decided this year to show up unfashionably late. We had about, oh I dunno, 2 weeks of super hot days.I was really disappointed because I was looking forward to the usual summer nights and sleeping with my door open. Not this year. This year if I wanted the door open while sleeping I had to wear sweats or layer on the winter blankies. I was still able to wear shorts most of this season but some days I was freezing my hiney off.  Hopefully next year Summer will learn from her mistake and show up on time.

The Beauty that is IKEA

Yesterday I decided it was time for some new furniture(bed, dresser, wardrobe). I took a field trip to IKEA. Oh that endless maze that it is. After about 30 minutes I decided on this 

 Looks fairly easy right. Especially since the furniture is supposed to be super easy to build. ERRR....Wrong! My Friend Kc & I sat looking at the various pieces scratching our heads. We tried and failed miserably. There are screws that need to be put in and just a regular screwdriver and some elbow grease will not do. I'm going to arm myself with a power tool thingie(don't know what they are called) and go to town. I shall prevail!

Busy, busy, busy

 I've been super busy these past few weeks. Trying to spend as much time with Michael as possible. As I've mentioned before he leaves for 2 months this Saturday:( Not looking forward to it at all. We're gonna go check out Despicable me Saturday morning and then take a little trip to little Tokyo and grab lunch. Hopefully I'll have lots of time on my hands to update my blog.

Memorylane Monday

I think this picture is super hilarious. This was taken about 3 years ago as we were driving home from the mall and for some weird reason he decided to fall asleep like this.

Back to reality....

So after a wonderful weekend in San Francisco I'm back home. I LOVED it. Everything about it. The weather, the people, the food, the landmarks. It was awesome and amazing. But like all good things it had to come to an end. We visited Fishermans wharf, Ghiradelli square(Love their chocolate) and took a tour around San Francisco. Unfortunatly we didn't do much else because of time restrictions, but I will be going back.

Weekend road trip....

To San Francisco. I'm uber excited. Except for the fact that I get to drive thru the night for about 8 hrs while everyone else sleeps. Either way I'm stoked. I haven't been to SF for close to 20 yrs. I'm looking forward to visiting Chinatown, the Golden Gate bridge and all the other cool things there are to see. Hope everyone has an awesome weekend and I'll post up pictures on Tuesday:)

Dating and the single mom....

So I've had terrible luck with men for the past oh I don't know....8 years. I've had one live-in boyfriend and 3 other disasterous relationships. I did the online thing and that didn't work out too well. This Friday I have a date with a guy I met thru a mutual friend. He's super sweet and we've been facebook buddies for 2 yrs and have met on 2 occasions. I'm really excited and nervous. His only issue is that he's younger than me. I'm 27 going on 28 and he's 25. We'll see how it goes. Wish me luck!
