Quick Pics...

Ok....so, I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off.....only....I'm gimping, because I have a new orthopeadic ankle brace. (Another story for another time....)

I'm gonna flash up some pics from our fabulous weekend, and then do a play-by-play when things (hopefully) calm down this weekend.


These are pics from Malibu at my cousins house....famous lounge/restaurant Moonshadows.....me driving her new Bentley.....and some from Disneyland.

Enjoy!!

OK, OK, OK.....!!!!

It's been WAAAAAAY too long since I blogged....and I have SSOOO much to share with you about my past weekend!!

I am running CRAZY around here, and trying to find time to upload all of my pics and videos of my weekend. Well.....not quite ALL of the pics.... :)

Anyways....I wanna go through step by step the AMAZING amount of fun that the girls and I and my cousins had this past weekend. We partied like rock stars and had the time of our lives at my cousins Malibu beach house. If any of you have access to my YouTube account, I will be posting some videos there (once downloaded). They will post there first, before and IF they make it to my blog.

Anyways....I am running around today. Taking my Denali in for an oil change ('cause I take good care of my baby...), then taking my girlfriend out to lunch (her dad just died), then picking up Lys....then two of my girlfriends kids....then Dayna....finding time to run to the grocery store.....and then start dinner so that it can be ready when Dean gets home. I gotta feed 7 of us tonight, so, I gotta hustle around.

HOPEFULLY, before I start massive problem paperwork for Dean tonight, I can download everything and get SOMETHING up for you all to read! I see that you've been popping in fairly regularly....so, I'm glad to hear that you haven't given up on me COMPLETELY yet!!

I'll catch you a bit later!!

Life's lessons for my little Alyssa...

Well, my darling Alyssa went in to take her very first written test for her driver's permit. We got to DMV, got up to the counter, only to find out that she had to be ENROLLED in Driver's Training before she could even take the test. (She's VERY independent, and has done all of this...including online classes...on her own. VERY organized...) Anyways, we left there with tears welled up in her eyes that she was trying to hold back. I told her, "No problem, we will drive 2 blocks down, where Briana took HER Driver's Training, sign you up, get the papers, and gome right back and take your test". Which we did.

We got back to DMV, got her number called, and when we got up to the window, on her paperwork, she had forgotten to get her SSN. Well, Dean and MY social security numbers are the only ones I have memorized, so, I made a few calls, got lucky, and found someone at Dean's work that had Alyssa's SSN.

Ready for testing. She takes her picture, gives her thumbprint, and off to the testing area she goes with her 48 questions.

I see her turning around and heading for the corrections area, so I quickly go over and join her. As the lady is correcting her test, Alyssa announces how nervous she is, and the lady asks her what she does when she doesn't pass a test at school. (Obviously, she doesn't know my Lys!) Alyssa replies with, "I don't fail tests." So, the lady asks her what would she do if she had? Alyssa draws a blank. (lol) The lady prompts her that she would go back and study some more and retake the test again. As she recounts how many Alyssa missed, she tells us that she missed passing by ONE question. I felt so badly for her. So much had gone on right before we headed down there...

Well, she had a positive attitude. She said that she gets to babysit her favorite kids tonight AND make money, and asked me for an ice cream from Rite-Aid (Thrifty)...which I was more than happy to oblige.

Two weeks, and she can go back again.

I know she will pass with flying colors.
