Now I Am Bored

Well, my great weekend started on Thursday. I had a GREAT surprise visitor. One of my "babies" that I had for years, Chris Medina, well his mom Linda came by and surprised me. I bet everybody within the city limit could hear me scream when I opened the door. They moved to Michigan a LONG time ago. It was in one of my earlier blogs, I reconnected!!! We had a great, but too short of a visit. Hopefully, after Chris finishes school (he is in the medical field), he can come visit. Then Thursday night, we went to see Alex and Jamie's new house. It is SO them. Great neighborhood and Aiden was too excited!! Friday night was Felipe's. It looks like this is our new Friday night haunt. Then today was Jamie's shower thrown by her bridesmaids, the "girl" shower. Everything was perfect, I have a lot to live up to for the family shower now. Oh well, if I have enough to drink it will turn out OK. Jamie, and Erik, got a lot of really nice stuff. Now, I am home alone, nothing to do, bored shitless. Rick and Alex are shopping for a frig for Alex and Jamie's new house and Erik went over to Jamie's to see all the loot. So, I am going to go and get myself a beer and go out and sit in the backyard with the dog. Wow, too much excitement.

The Monday After

Don't ask me why I chose purple, I don't really know. The weekend was very short, but that is because I finally had something to do. Saturday was Charlie Blank's 60th birthday party. It was at a friend's house and was a small gathering. He was totally surprised. We got to see a few people that we don't see anymore because our kids don't play soccer together anymore. Tyler was patrolling the Canyon that night, so he stopped by and one of the guests actually thought that the cops had been called. Then yesterday was Colleen's grandson Joseph's birthday party. It was at a place that is all bouncers and slides, very fun for the kids, and even some adults (not me). Aiden was there and he had a blast!!. There were kids EVERYWHERE!! It was a great time for the bouncers and the watchers. After, we went to dinner with Alex, Jamie, Aiden, Erik and Jamie. Deputy Tyler even made an appearance. I LOVE family together time. Now, the planning of the family and friends shower for Erik and Jamie begins in ernest. Jamie is making the invites and I already have what I want to do as far as centerpieces, food, etc. in mind. It will be a packed party, but that is what family is all about. I have a list going and am very excited to get to do this. Well, I better go and call Jose, my bounce house guy, and let him know that I need a bouncer for that day as well as Easter. Also, I have today off with no babysitting kids and here I sit, what a time waster I am!!

Felipe's May Be The New Tony's

Last night, the Friday group went to a new restaurant in Chino Hills called Felipe's. It is a Mexican restaurant and we were all pleasently surprised. Everybody liked what they got. The owner, Bill, came over and introduced himself to us and I kinda took the lead and let him know that we may be back. They even have a back room that we can invade with kids. We are all still hopng that Tony opens up a new place, but it is highly doubtful. We will still have chimis though, Tony has told me that he will make them for me for our parties. On the way to dinner, Alex called me about going to Vegas so he could play soccer with Hollywood United. I told him that I had no problem with it, but he should check the weather for Sunday because I didn't want to be sitting at Cajon because of snow. He wanted to go, he has been looking forward to this tournament, but he kept coming up with reasons to not go. I told him, if it is meant to be it will happen. I felt bad, I could tell he really wanted to play, and I wanted to watch him play. When we got home, I packed an overnight bag just in case. When I got up at 5, I checked my phone and there was a text from Alex that because of the weather, no Vegas. So, I guess it is try to find a truck for Rick day. HOW FUN!!!!!

BOO!!!!! Football is done!!!!

Well, the last game for the season has come and gone. I am so bummed!!!! There is the pro bowl, but that doesn't really count. We had a Super Bowl party here and it was GREAT!!! There were lots of people and some even watched the game. There were more crock-pots here than I have ever seen in my LIFE. Everybody brought something and it was a Super Spread!. (ha ha) I learned a few things for next year, yes this is as annual as our Easter party. I am not going to wait until half-time to serve the chili, I am just going to have it all out. Some people brought great salads and they were eaten before the chili came out. Jon won $140 in the pools, so it is a guarantee he will be back. I forgot to put out obvious stuff, like forks and spoons. What a dork!!. Now, on to planning the family shower for Jamie and Erik. As soon as I find out the way they want it, I can go ahead and ask Jamie to create the invite and I can plan center pieces, etc. I am not crafty at all, so I am going to be buying a lot of pre-made things, unless they want a beachy theme. Heck, Home Depot sells sand!!!!! Then after that is Easter, their wedding, family shower for Tyler and Shelly, their wedding, and then Rick's 60th. I will be so bored next year. I finally finished the quilt for the lady going into the hospital and as I am typing this, she is undergoing surgery on her heart. She cried when I gave her the quilt yesterday, made me feel good, hopefully it was because she liked the job I did. Her name is Delia Gonzales, so when you say your prayers, please ask for her recovery. Her surgery was on the heart itself. Scary stuff.
Now, onto some blankets that I have been waiting to work on. I need to take advantage of the week when Ayden from next store isn't here. He is TOTALLY 2 and there is no rest for the wicked when he is around.
