Last weekend we went to Salinas to help my parents at the Salinas Obon. The boys helped Grandpa at the Information Booth...um, Dad REALLY should have worn his hearing aid...but, hey, it gave him an excuse not to answer those tough religious questions. hee hee...I helped my Mom in the Pastry booth. It was fun seeing everyone from Salinas....next year I told Mom that I will help again....
On Wednesday, we met Michelle, Riley and Makaela at Chuck E Cheese in Dublin...actually, they picked us up....the girls were too scared to take a picture with Mr. Cheese....and Jordan is way too cool to be in a picture with a Mouse...so, that left Neil...
One of the reasons why I haven't updated my blog...is I have been busy washing clothes/ sheets/etc, packing and making snacks for our trip to San Diego/LA/Universal Studios. Jeff has a reunion with his college buddies...that should be a lot of fun....I haven't seen some people in years! Two guys are flying in from Japan, and Suzy is coming from Hong Kong...it should be a great time! They have a Padres game, UCSD campus tour, lunch, (slideshow has been canceled), and bowling social....
We will also be visiting the Santiagos, going to Universal Studios (the boys and my first time), Jeff is meeting with some clients and we get to meet Isaac...when we have dinner with Nick, Jazel, Burt, Joni and Kallyn.
The main reason why I have been "checked-out" is that we finally fixed my floor in the craft room...but, this entailed taking EVERYTHING out of the room...and putting it in the garage...remember my dilemna with the water heater? (we decided to get the water heater replaced before I put all my paper/fabric/magazines in the garage on the floor...Murphy's Law would mostly like occur)...so, I had to move my 350Z out of the garage...Since we were leaving this weekend for San Diego, I had to get everything out of the garage to put my car back in.
Fixing the floor was quick....it took quite a while to get everything back in the room....I am not showing you the floor, because it is still packed with stuff...I may have to part with some purses....AUGH! I also got rid of my desk...so, now I need a new desk...that may need to wait because I also re-did the closet...see below...
Don't you just love the border? My friend June found it online for me...about 5 years ago...for 5 years I only had 1/3 up....my furniture was in the way and I never finished....but, since everything was moved out I was able to do the entire room...yippee...the wall below cause a lot of problems...I had a bookshelf on this wall...but, since I moved it, I had to patch the wall and I couldn't get the paint to match...so, I had to repaint the entire wall...sigh...it didn't take long...but, I made a few trips to Lowe's.
Speaking of Lowe's, I really hate/like them. I went to go buy the supplies for my closet...I asked for help 3 times...I finally left and bought the supplies at Home Depot. (Hey, I just realized that the paint they gave me was wrong....double disappointed in Lowe's). But, isn't it pretty? much better than what I had before...which is currently in the middle of my family room...I'll deal with that when I get back. (I have a whole shelf of yarn...plus two tubs below the shelves....I didn't want to scare you that much!)
Our next post will be from the road!
Here is a picture of Jeff and Jordan's hamburgers...amazingly, the boys didn't get any chili on their clothes...I am still in shock ...
