Well it looks like I made it and wrote every day, so did the girls, and Mia you did good too :) I will miss reading the day to day happenings. I will try to write at least once a week, we'll see.

November was a good month in general, had my feet done and also my hair :)
Went out to eat with Marvin a couple of times, tried to train Lulu (she's back in the kennel, she did pretty good, but I will wait till after the holidays to start again. Lizzie came down a couple of times, and the month culminated on a very nice Thanksgiving.

Now I am going to bed, still have a pesky cold. Looking forward to a great December!

The Day After

It was not only the drinking of the bubbly that made me sleepy, I am catching a cold, and after Lizzie left back to San Diego, I've been sleeping on and off all day.

I am happy that for Thanksgivinf Day I was feeling OK and  enjoyed the meal and the company. It was a very nice day. Both Marvin and I enjoyed it a lot.

This morning it was raining, and that made me  want to cuddle up in bed after taking my cold medicine. I  saw on TV some of the fools that went to Black Friday and got mauled, scratched and trampled, just to save a few dollars.  I have never  gone to a Black Friday event or plan in going. Yes you find great bargains (for instance the TV we just bought was now $200 less, but to fight the crowds and put up with all the pushing and shoving etc. is not worth the savings (most likely they only had maybe 2 or 3 of them anyway, it's like a "Come on" so people go and buy stuff. Oh well. Maybe somr of them enjoy it. I think my sisters in law and their friend Gale, used to go to Black Friday, this year Mary and Dewey didn't come down so I'm sure they wouldn't go just by themselves, but who knows :)

I am now going back to taking my alka seltzer plus and go to sleep. I hope I will be feeling better in the morning.

Thanksgiving and Hanukah

It is a rare occurrence that Thanksgiving and Hanukah fall on the same day, but it happened this year. Double holiday for some people :)

Our Thanksgiving was very nice, as Lizzie wrote, Jeff had a long drive to get to La Mirada from San Diego, but he finally made it, it must have been very tiresome but he was happy to be with all of us and cooked some really delicious rib eye steaks and a yummy green bean casserole. We are not traditionalists when it comes to Thanksgiving, I am sure the girls still remember the day we had to make do with Chinese food ;)

Give me a good steak for a turkey any time! we also had some appetizers, the spinach dip and deviled eggs were especially good, also cheese, brie and cheddar. Of course some nice Cava to drink. Even Marvin had a few sips of the bubbly.

Jeff did a great job making the casserole and grilling the steaks, the steaks were enormous, and juicy and tender, yum!

Here's a picture of dessert, chocolate meringue pie, and profiteroles with strawberries. We all had a nice talk after dinner discussing family events and music and movies.  Jeff left shortly after and Lizzie decided to stay until the morning.

It was a lovely Fall day, they were forecasting rain but we had sunshine and mild weather. Got to love California!

I had a little too much Cava, and after Jeff left I took a nap. Matter of fact I just woke up :)

My friends Norbert, Lolin and Jennifer called us to wish us a Happy Thanksgiving. We missed our family from Utah, but after reading Sandy's blog it seems they had a nice time as well.

We really have a lot to be thankful for.  Love you all!







Late!

Lizzie got home, all is good,  I will post it so it goes before midnight!

Love you all

Holidays!

Just 2 more days till Thanksgiving!

Lizzie will be coming tomorrow and Jeff will come on Thursday. They are bringing steaks and a green bean casserole (Marvin and I have never had green bean casserole!) I am happy they are coming. I wish the Thompson's could be here too, but they will be in our thoughts! Too far to travel.

Thanksgiving has never been too meaningful to me because I didn't grow up with it, it being a typical American holiday. But I understand and appreciate the meaning of giving thanks and getting together with family and friends.

Today we took a big giant box of Whitman's chocolates to the Dialysis Center, as a thank you for the care that they give Marvin. They are really a capable, friendly bunch of people. They were happy to get it and thanked Marvin for it, even the doctors did! :)

I guess tomorrow I need to clean a little and start getting things ready.

Hasta luego!

Haircut

As I said yesterday, today I had my appointment to have my hair colored and cut. I told Lauren to cut my hair shorter because   my hair grows fast and it was getting shoulder length. Also I wanted my hair a little darker because it was too blondish. Now is a honey color I like :)

Other than that I didn't do much of anything.  Lulu seems to be doing OK so far being unkenneled, we'll see how it goes :)

Besos.

Fall Cleaning

I worked on and off all last week trying to get my closets clean and "weeded out". Today I had a nice Jacuzzi soak in the morning, and then I've been putting my summer clothes away and getting my winter clothes out. There really is not a lot of difference between the two, only  shorts and summery clothes are going to go on storage (I still keep a few out for those summer like winter days). And I have brought out the sweatshirts ( I almost never wear them because I get too hot), but mainly I have been discarding stuff that I haven't worn for a long while. Even so my closets are still full. Marvin has said, and I must agree, that basically I just change the clothes from one closet to another.

Tomorrow I go to have my hair  done. I find it weird that I get  anxious when I have to go to the salon even though the girl that does my hair is super friendly and very good. I have to sit down and wait while my hair color does its thing, and I get antsy. Oh well, I may take a picture if it comes out to my liking :)

And that's about it!

Training Lulu, part 2

She slept all last night night in  her pillow, when Marvin  went to make his breakfast she kept on sleeping. When I got up at 9 AM she got off her pillow and I gave her breakfast and water, then took her outside where she did her business.

When Marvin and I got ready to go to dialysis, she went back to her pillow, I gave her the usual treat and we left. When I got back, she was still in her pillow sleeping.

As I was ready to go pick him up she went to the pillow, but as soon as I left she jumped on the couch and I could see her looking thru the window. When we got back, she was sitting on top of Marvin's chair, but she had not done any messes of any kind.

Now Marvin went to sleep, so I turned off the living room lights and she went to her pillow. I came to my room, looked out and she was laying quietly. I took a picture. She is now sleep.

So far, so good :)

Have a good Sunday

Training Lulu

Today Marvin and I went to have lunch at El Cholo. We had chips and salsa, guacamole, albondigas soup for him and tortilla soup for me, and we shared some delicious filet mignon tacos. I had the best Margarita ever, it was great! I was going to have it blended and try the brain freeze trick but I chickened out, so it was on the rocks. YUM.

When we got home, Lulu was happily sleep in her kennel, she has been really good about getting there when we go out and sleeping all night etc. But I decided maybe I should start weaning her out. Her kennel is quite large and takes a lot of space.

So I took out her bedding and fluffed it up, got her a new blankie, and set it on the bare carpet. She looked at it and sort of dragged the blanket a little but didn't sit down. Tonight she stayed by Marvin's room and played with her bone. Just now I went to check how she was doing and she's fast sleep in her bed!!! winning!

We'll see if she will sleep until I get up to feed her, but Marvin gets up earlier and has breakfast and I think she may get up then too. I hope she waits till I take her out to do her business. She's good doing it outside in the morning after breakfast.

Then when I take Marvin to the center, I will leave her loose, and hopefully she will stay in her bed, but I am not sure. We'll see.

So far so good, keeping my fingers crossed :)

Brain freeze

Today has been rainy and a little chill in the air. So other than taking Marvin to and fro, I haven't done much of anything.

So I will tell you about a trick I learned.

I love Margaritas. I use to love best when blended, but they gave me brain freeze and it was so painful I have stopped having blended drinks and now  my drinks are always on the rocks.

The other day I was browsing the internet, and here was a simple hint of how to stop brain freeze. Here's the article. I am sure I will be trying it.

"The sensation of brain freeze is insanely painful, a stabbing sensation all over your head that can incapacitate you instantly. Understanding the scientific cause of brain freeze can help you cure it, though. When you eat or drink something cold, blood vessels at the roof of your mouth contract to prevent body heat loss. When the cold is removed, they dilate, sending a rush of blood to the brain and causing that familiar headache. So what you want to do is keep the roof of your mouth warm while you eat, and the best way to do that is to curl your tongue and press the warm bottom against the top of your mouth. Try it, it works!"

 

Does it work for you?

 

 

 

Lunch with the girls

I went to Jersey School to have lunch with my old Kindergarten team, Jennifer, Norma and Gloria. They go every Wednesday, always to the same Mexican Restaurant, and they always order the same things. They also take turns paying. Today it was Gloria's turn and she paid for me too, nice!

The waiters there know us as "The Kindergarten teachers", they always stop and talk to me about futbol, and tease me about Barcelona and Real Madrid. We've gone there for years!

When we got back to school, I said, well now I get to go home, they were not amused ;)  It's funny the new kids  in Kinder and First grade call me Mrs Gummy Bear, the older ones call me Mrs. Wann but still they ask for gummy bears. I have a large supply of them because Norbert's sister always was giving him big bags and in turn he gave them to me.

Today has been sprinkling on and off in the evening, so I guess Fall is here for sure. Today I also picked up the first 2 tomatoes we planted  late September, and a whole bunch of them will be ready within a week or two.

Till tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Lizzie :)

Today my baby turned 42. Like Sandy said, even though they are all grown up , Lizzie will always be my baby and Sandy my big girl! :)

Time sure goes fast. I can very well remember when I turned 42, and now it is my youngest daughter's turn. That makes me feel old!!!

 I will be posting some birthday pictures of you for TBT. I tried to scan some today but my scanner was giving me nothing but problems.


I sure hope this year will bring you nothing but good times, and happy days.

Love you very much!

A walk in the park

This morning I went to get me a raisin roll for breakfast and asked Lulu if she wanted to go for a walk. She immediately acted crazy which I took as a yes. So off we left in the pick up, she loves riding and going anywhere.

After I got my treat, I decided to go to the park and take her for a walk. She was excited! When we got there she couldn't wait to get out of the truck and start her walk. She walks as if she has an appointment to get someplace and is running late. I have to walk fast and still she pulls on her leash, i have to stop every so often and she sits down and after a second is ready to go again.

We passed through a wooden bridge, and below the bridge were some rocks and a bunch of ground squirrels. Now I was wondering how she would react because she goes nuts whenever a squirrel is in our yard, she barks and runs after it. However she didn't even give them a glance, is like she thought hey that's their house so be it, but if they come to my house I'll run after them! I actually was pretty surprised she didn't react at all. She's funny this way!

 

Tomorrow is Lizzie's birthday! I hope you have a very nice day :)

Love you!

 

 

Family videos

I think I wrote that after we got our new TV, we put the "old" one in the spare room and Marvin got the VCR working.

I looked for family videos that I had not seen in a looong time. We looked at a very eclectic one, it had a little bit of everything, it was not a very good video, lots of snow (not the weather one).

Today I decided to clean some of my drawers, and I found a box with old movies I took with my old camcorder. I found one that said "Tristan" so Marvin and I, and Lulu, settled down to watch it.

It was filmed by me, and strangely enough I did a good job, no quick moves or  jumping from one frame to another. I did do a lot of zooming! It was when Marvin, Lizzie and I went to Utah when Tristan was born.

We were taking pictures and filming,  LaDonna and Caz were there too, and the 2 dogs. It was fun to see Tristan when he was a little baby. And how we all looked 15 years ago.

Then there was more video from when I went back to Utah by myself and stayed there for a while. Tristan was a lot bigger then, Sandy was giving him a bath in the kitchen and he looked like a little Buda :)  What a cute baby he was!! There's a part when he's in a swing thing by the kitchen and he's just babbling away, sooo adorable!

 

Another day

I am running out of things to write, it seems most of my days are the same. Today it's been pretty boring, I was not in a very cheerful mood and I couldn't think of anything to do while Marvin was at dialysis, or what to have for lunch. So I just went back home, made me a BLT and just played in the computer and that's about it. I am not mentioning  even more boring things like doing dishes and stuff like that.

I did finish a book that I enjoyed a lot is called "Three Wishes" by an Australian writer Liane Moriarty.

Las night I watched a French movie called "Populaire", it was quite a different movie, check it out http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2070776/ in the plot summary they call her boss handsome, and i laughed because I thought he was pretty homely, oh well.

Till tomorrow :)

Sibbarpsgränd revue

This is a Sibbarpsgränd revue, it was part of a show with  The SNOBS, which are a Swedish/Norwegian Organization of Barbershop Singers (have you heard about them Mia?).

It's pretty funny! ;)

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=4990403852603

There's something about Lulu...

Lulu is 2 years old. She is a funny silly dog, with her own mind set.

She has the really strong teeth for a smaller dog. I have to buy her toys that are meant for large breeds otherwise they don't last at all. I have timed her, and a new toy usually lasts less than 30 minutes before it is in pieces! She doesn't really play with them, she just tears them apart. She loves plastic, even the hardest kind. When Marvin drinks water from a little plastic bottle, she sits in front of him staring fixedly and won't move until he finishes it and lets her play chew on it.

She has calmed down a lot and is more cuddly and sweet. Once in a while she will go crazy and run around like a maniac growling and jumping. It's a funny thing to watch! She's also a big jumper! She can jump really high, it's amazing.

She loves people, I don't think she'd be a good watch dog, no matter who it is, man, woman, child, friend or unknown, she is just totally happy to see them.

She also understands a few words (really) like squirrel, toy, ball, etc. She may be sitting down  by Marvin's chair, but if either one of us say, look at the squirrel...she'll jump and go to the sliding door and  if open she'll just go running outside.

She will go to her kennel by herself when we go out, and at night, when we go to bed she goes  to sleep in her kennel with no fuss. She has always been a good sleeper and she stays sleeping until I get up in the morning and feed her and take her out. Usually around 9 :)

Marvin likes to talk to her, she sits and looks at him and I think she nods. She loves to go to him after her breakfast and have him scratch her especially  while she's sort of upside down looking up. She's really attached to him.

My main problem with her if that she is very stubborn, and still poops  inside once in a while, especially in the evening. After breakfast I take her outside and she does her business, I have tried to take her out as often as I can , sometimes I stay outside with her after her dinner and play with her or take her for a walk, and she'll do nothing. But the moment we are in the house and I go to my room, she will do it in a very stealthy way. I very seldom catch her in the act. It's very frustrating!.

They say there's no such thing as a poorly trained dogs, only poorly trained owners. And I have to agree with it. I haven't been very consistent training her, especially when I first got her. Even when I took her to obedience school (she didn't get a diploma) I didn't really follow through. But I'm still trying.

We love her.

Hot day

Today it was  about 90 degrees all dsay, thankfully it cooled off a little after the sun went down.
Last night I had the heater on because it got chilly , and today is back to the AC!

I didn't do much, just went to Trader Joe's and Target and had lunch at Chipotle.  Marvin was feeling a little under the weather and didn't want to have dinner. I think maybe all that "exotic" food the other day may not have settle down too well.

Tomorrow I think I will write about my strange dog. She really has a different attitude towards things. It's kind of funny and kind of frustrating!

Hasta luego!

Especially for my daughters and to all who read this post...

 

 

 



Love you all :)

The "Before" movies

A few years ago I watched a movie called "Before Sunrise" with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. It was a story about boy meets girl, he's American, she's French, on a train going to Austria.
The whole movie takes place in one day, and is mainly a conversation between the two of them.
I am not a fan of Ethan Hawke but I sort of liked the movie even though nothing much happened, at the end they make a date to meet next year, and that's how the movie ends.

Nine years later, there was a sequel to the movie called "Before Sunset", I watched it and is the same 2 people, nine years after. He's in Paris promoting his novel, the novel is about how he met her on a train. He's having a signing of the book in a library, and  then he sees her standing  in a corner. So this second movie is again the two of them talking walking down the streets of Paris, catching up on what happened to them. It seems he kept the date but she didn't.  It also takes place in one day, in real time. He had been married and divorced and has a son. It ends with him going up to her apartment, he has to catch a flight back to Chicago that night.

And now, in 2013, there's the  last (maybe) movie called "Before Midnight". Again is the same 2 people, now they are married and have twin daughters, his son came to spend the summer with them and they went to Greece. But again, the main part of the movie is the conversation between the two of them.

Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy and the director wrote the last 2 movies. I found the story of how the 3 movies came about as interesting as the movies themselves.

All movies were highly rated by critics. I enjoyed them too. Have any of you seen them?

November Sunday

No birds
No bees
No leaves on trees
November

This is a little poem I taught the kids in Kindergarten and  they made a little 4 page book. In the 1st page they wrote No and drew a bird, and so on.. in the last page they wrote the word November, with a different color for each letter.

I was in the Jacuzzi this afternoon and I was thinking about this poem. I looked around my garden and it being Southern California, there were lots of birds in the bird feeder, and of course the hummingbirds too. There were bees buzzing by the lavender, and all the trees had nice green leaves.

Miss Universe

I am watching Miss Universe in our brand new 55" TV.
It used to be my favorite show to watch, but I haven't been watching it for a few years, but I watched it today just to see what the beauty standard is this year :)

This morning I was reading El Periodico of Barcelona, and right there it said who the winner was. It's a good thing because I always like to know the results of everything before I watch it.

Winner was Miss Venezuela, 2nd was Miss Spain, and 3rd I don't remember. All the women from 83 different countries were, of course, gorgeous. I enjoy watching the national costumes, some countries really go overboard. What was Miss USA costume? She was dressed as a "transformer" !??!!! WHY?

Venezuela takes being a Miss "Anything" seriously. They have  a "Miss" farm where young girls are raised to become misses, they are taught how to dress, how to walk, how to carry themselves, and they are plucked, trimmed, exercised etc. It works, there's been 7 Miss Universe winners and 6 Miss World winners from Venezuela, and here's this year's winner, 25 yr old Gabriela Isler.

smooth soft pretty feet

Of course it is because I went to the podiatrist. I have a standing appointment every 3 months. The doctor does a great job and my feet have never looked or felt better. Even my heels are nice and soft.

I also was going to have some blood test done, but the lab couldn't find the order, I was annoyed because I fasted for nothing lol.

Other than that I did nothing all day. Marv went to Costco to get bacon and other stuff, he also went to get In'n'Out for dinner. I hope I like bacon #1 better than I liked bacon #2.

I hope you all have a nice weekend The weather here is gorgeous! :)

Comments etc.

I'm always amazed at the number of people that read our blogs. Mine should be read by 4-5 people only, since I don't advertise it to anybody. I understand sometimes people happen to it by chance, or by googling something and it takes them to the blog.

I would like people that read my blog be able to comment if they desire, it be fun to know what  unknown people think about the posts. But I cannot see a way to allow anybody to comment. Maybe just as well :)

It was fun that today both the girls and I posted pictures for throwback Thursday, it's fun to reminisce. It's also fun to  do the NaBloPoMo even though I never know what to write about, but is fun to read about what's going on with all of you (Mia you need to do it too, no excuses, it only takes a few minutes).

I also enjoy when some of you write comments to my posts. A while back Sandy said she didn't know exactly if you were to comment on all the posts, or not. I don't think there's any set rules, but is fun to know  you have read it and had something to say about it.

So now I will comment on some of the latest comments:

I bought the Oscar Meyer thick sliced bacon and had a BLT for lunch, it was good but not as good as I thought it would be. And bacon works great with chocolate.
Lizzie found the nest in the orange tree, she took a picture too. It's a good size one but I cannot see any movement so maybe it's an old one.
I'm glad you enjoyed the posies. Sandy you need to keep on clicking.


oops I better send it!

There's a word for it...

Once in a while I eat something  and I enjoy it so much that I tend to eat it over and over, until I get tired of it and then I won't have any for a while. There's a word for it..compulsion maybe?

Lately I have been eating lots of spicy chili mango slices, I look for it at the supermarket and become annoyed if they don't have it. I even wrote the company, and they assured me they will supply Stater Bros with spicy chili mango, matter of fact they told me they sent half a case of it especially for me, and to ask the produce manager about it!

Lizzie had a taste and she didn't care for it. But I love it!!!

The other thing I can't get enough of lately is bacon! We went to Mimi's for lunch with Lizzie and I had a BBLT, the next day we had bacon and waffles, Monday I had bacon and tomatoes, and I think I could eat bacon every day, 3 times a day. Today I had a bacon turkey sandwich from Panera and tonight I had the last of the bacon, and yes, I crumbled it on top of the last of my brownie. YUM!

I searched the internet to find out what are the best brands of bacon:

#1 Kirkland bacon (from Costco) in packages of 3

#2 Oscar Meyer (thick cut)

#3 Walmart great value lower sodium

 

I wonder how long this urge to eat bacon and chili mango will last, but right now I am sure enjoying it.



Ebooks vs "real" books

I love to read, I read a lot, always books from the library. Once in a while I will buy one to keep, but  the rest of the times I just go to the library. I can order books from all over LA county so it's basically an unending supply, that includes ebooks I can read in the PC or the iPad, so far I have not d/l ebooks.

Best thing, it's all free.

I like to hold a book, to turn the pages, to see the different fonts, the book cover, etc. Reading an ebook in a kindle or nook seems a little cold, although I think is great while traveling or going places, so you don't have to tote heavy books around.

A couple of weeks ago, I took a brand new library book to the ER. Sometimes it takes  hours to get things processed and I figured I might have time to read.
 After being there a while and talking to the doctor and knowing things were taken care of, I went to the cafeteria to get me a snack and a Pepsi.

 In my big purse I had my wallet, my iphone,the book, a hankie, a pair of glasses, a brush, and a bag of nuts, and after taking a sip of Pepsi, I added it to my purse. When I got back to the ER, I noticed my purse was dripping! I took everything out and sure enough, I had not closed the bottle and there was pepsi all oer everything. I dried what I could, and laid everything on top of a pad (lots of them in a hospital room)and got another pad and soaked my purse...well you get the idea.

The book was ruined. The pages dripping and sticking together, it was  bad.

When i got home, I used the hair drier on low page by page, then ironed the pages...all to no avail. Today I went to the library and explained what had happened. No worries, I had to pay for a new one, $25.00, plus $10.00 for processing.

Maybe this time, an ebook would have worked better :)

Flora and Fauna

The Fauna

On the 4 day of November I saw in my garden....

           3 humming birds

           2 brown squirrels

           1  lurking hawk

and a nest in my orange tree!

 

and of course, Lulu running after them!

 

 

and the Flora

 

The tomatoes are growing..

The roses are blooming,

The geraniums are cascading

and the herbs

basil, lavender, parsley

sage, rosemary, thyme

smell

wonderfully

 

Little posies

For my daughter Sandy that said it snowed in SLC today, and for my sister Mia that live in a cold weather country, maybe this will give you the illusion of Spring :)
Just click and make your garden grow.

November

November started very nicely. The weather is amazing, nice and warm, getting a little cooler at night. Tomorrow daylight savings time ends, I am not so happy about that, I don't like the short daylight. They has DST in Europe a couple of weeks ago, I have read that Spain doesn't want to do DST anymore, we'll see.

The highlight of yesterday was Tristan texted me his grades!!! He got A's on everything, even the Honors classes. I am super proud of him!! :) It's nice texting with him. I am sure we will both be watching SNL tonight!

Another highlight was Lizzie coming this weekend. We went to Mimi's for lunch. I had "Le Duet" basil tomato soup and it was delicious, then a BBLT (Bacon Lettuce and Tomato on Brioche) and a fruit salad, yummy. Lizzie had "La Femme" Grilled chicken breast on a croiussant with mixed green, tomatoes, and basil pesto mayonnaise, with french fries.

Because this month is Lizzie's birthday, I told her we could go shopping see if she could find something nice to wear. We went to Kohls and JC Penney, but she couldn't find anything that appealed her. Maybe next time :)

Lulu had a haircut, which was soreley needed, it was hard to tell where her eyes were, she looks cute.

Lizzie just finished baking some brownies, so I am going to have some. I hope the rest of November is as nice as the beginning :)
