Good Morning!!!

Technically it is Tuesday morning.... so... Good morning!!!!

It's been a long day and I just can't get sleepy so I caught up on bills, emails, my evites, Myspace, and here I am blogging at 1220am!!!! Hahahah!!! Work is going to suck in a few hours!! Good thing I have some Rockstars in the fridge!!!

This last weekend was a lot of fun.
Friday I came home from work, dropped Noah off at sparring class while Obi and I took a walk, then headed out to the mall with Kimmy and out to dinner at Portillo's.... MMMMM... I just love their cheese fries!!!!
Saturday was work as usual, but we didn't have any cases, so I skipped out of there a bit early and headed home to get ready for our night out. Mark went to our nephews b-day party out in the OC, and we met at our friends house (Todd and Ann) We hung out and played RockBand for a while... We made a band up called The Inverted Culture... Be on the lookout because we were rockin solid 90 percentile scores on hard!!!! Woohoo!!! Mark was on drums, Todd was on lead guitar, Ann was on basss guitar and I was the singer!!! Ha...I didn't even have a ny drinks, and I actually sang loud enough for everyone to hear!!! That's right, loud and proud!!! I own my screeching!!! hahahaha!!! Can't wait to play with the band some more!! We were awesome!!!!
Then we headed out to a Peruvian restaurant called Inka Mommas (I think thats how you spell it?!?) It was delicious!!!! I hope to go there again!!!
After dinner it was time to head over to the Arts Theater to go see the Phantom of the Opera!!! Wow!!! It was really great!!! I love watching that play. I get goosebumps during certain songs, and even certain notes in a song.. What can I say... I've always said music speaks to me on such a deep level...this is a prime example.
After it was over we headed back over to Todd and Anns and continued our World Tour on RockBand. We played till nearly 2 in the morning!!! And then called it a night.... Mark and I headed home....



Sunday was a day of absolutely laziness!!! Sleeping in, taking naps, it was great!!!!

I tried a few workouts specifically for abs that use an excercize ball... I can officially say they work, because my tummy is sore!!! Gotta do those a couple times a week!! Mark washed the car, and went to the grocery store....

For dinner I made a sausage and bell pepper pizza with parmesan crust... with a green salad on the side... It was awesome!!! It wasn't delivery...It was DeMers!!!! Hahahah!!!

We did some laundry and dishes and headed off to bed.... What a great finish to a fun weekend....

Work was so busy on Monday. I don't think we stopped all day!!!! Just non-stop pain management cases for me all day. But I didn't mind one bit because I got to hang out with my favs, Mike, Dr. Kim, Pat and Sandy.... Good times!!!! Noah and I took Obi for a walk to the park where we let him run loose. He is so obedient... He actually comes back to us when we call him while he's running!!! I love my dog!!!! When we got home Mark, Noah and I went to the gym here at our complex. Mark did his free weights and I was glued to the treadmill. 2 miles running, 2 miles walking and some lunges to burn out at the end. My legs are hurting!!!!

I know I had mentioned before that Noah and I have been
exploring these nature trails around our town..

Here are a couple of pics of the beautiful scenery we encountered on some of the trails!!! Obi and Noah love walking through here. Noah loves to see what animals or lizards we can find...and Obi just loves to run and chase things....

The first pic is of the beginning of the trail. We happened to catch this pic while a hawk was flying by...probably thinking my dog was his snack!!!! Scary!!!

The second pic is of Noah and Obi hangin by some rocks we passed on the trail..... Noah loves to climb these rocks... and Obi just loves to eat the grass!!!!! Too cute!!!

Well, I better be going to at least try and get some sleep... Here are two quotes that I received via email that I thought were pretty great!!!

"Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention."
-- Greg Anderson



"It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere."
-- Agnes Repplier
