Fall is in the air....

So with Halloween around the corner I am getting nastolgic for elementry school. you know when you think for months about your perfect Halloween costum for the parade. So this one year my little brother Hank and decided to go as siamese twins. We got a huge t-shirt and tuck our scrawney heads through the top with our pencil stick arms and legs. I am thinking that I will need to search down this photo and post if for humor, but in the meanwile I only get satisfaction of putting my dogs in costumes..

BRUINS FOOTBALL BRINGING IT MONDAY!

Hank Becomes a Canadian

Hank and Emily were in town to visit with me and Ingrid before they move to Canada. We had a nice little picnic at LACMA and listed to some Jazz music. The eclectic group of people at the Friday night Jazz only underlines why I love living in Los Angeles. The next time I will see them they will Canadians!

Elm Retires!

Elm has finaly retired! I can actually recall sitting in my dad's classroom B7 at Granite Park Jr. High as one of his students. He was very charsimatic, disaplined and easy with the students. I know he has made a major impact on many young minds in Salt Lake City. We had a retirement party for him and I have attached a few photos for all to enjoy.

Ingrid, a bike, and a sidewalk ramp

Hello

this week has been very stressful for me. Monday night at 9:00 pm Ingrid called me and asked me to pick her and I quote "I straight rocket launched off my bike from a ramp on the sidewalk". I got there in 5 minutes to find her face bleeding and tears in her big eyes, that so reminded me of Lex. I rush her to the UCLA medical center emergency room where we wait three hours to see a Dr. and get drugs. She had a gash on her chin, a fractured jaw and a fractured right arm. She was admitted to the hospital at 9:00 am the following day. She was released from the hospital yesterday after having her jaw wired shut to heal. Overall Ingrid has been in good spirits over this ordeal. She will be resting at home for the next two weeks and will be on a liquid diet due to her lock jaw! See the photo! Yawza:)

HAPPY 30th TO ME!

Wow I can hardly wrap my head around that I am now out of my twenties. It honestly seems like I just walked in to my first day at Select Personnel in Santa Monica with only server experience to get me the job. Living in Los Angeles the past ten years through my twenties has made a mark on me and I will always look at this time fondly and with inspiration, because wow I sure accomplished many things. I ran a marathon, graduated from college, finally got a cell phone, actually paid and do pay for valet parking, don't sleep in a bunk bed, still have my booty, sunbathing has become a hobby, many free movie screenings, riding public transportation, know my way around a kitchen, yogasize, seen friends become parents, lawyers, Doctors and Professors. Time marches on and as always one thing is consistent, each day we get older and wiser. Here I am at thirty - eat your heart out!

America Idol Fans WAKE UP!

For the third week in a row I am shocked that Sayesha Mercado has NOT been voted off American Idol. I have been waiting patiently for other voting Americans (we all know that a small number of us phone it to 1-866-idols01) to wake up and get the personalityless Sayesha off the stage. I mean Michael Johns was the last person I expected in the bottom three a few weeks ago let alone to be cast off the show so soon. I know he might not have been the one to take the title, but he should have lasted past Sayesha and Cristy Lee Cook.

I plead to those who are not voting to VOTE and VOTE HARD!
