September 19

Septmber 19 is not just Talk Like A Pirate Day! It is also the official anniversary for Joe and me! Although we had been friends and hung out for awhile, Sept. 19, 2008 was when we officially decided to date exclusively.

We celebrated last night at Mastro's Ocean Club in Corona Del Mar. Joe had been to this place for a "fancy dinner" a few times with work people. I used to complain of feeling jipped because I didn't get to go to fancy dinners like he does. Well, last night he surprised me with reservations at 7:30.

I was excited to try one of their famous martinis. Then I looked at the menu and cheapest one was $18. Ummm, no! So we shared a bottle of wine. You may be wondering if we had one of the $7,000 bottles of wine. Nope! It was a tad bit less expensive than that.

Then I had my favorite - lobster bisque. It was good! Lots of lobster.

We both had center cut filet and it was probably the best steak I have ever had. It melted in my mouth.

For our sides, we had creamed corn and gorgonzola mac and cheese. They were both wonderful!

We shared a warm, butter cake for dessert. Joe once brought me home a cold butter cake from Mastro's and it was great. But it was to die for warmed! They also brought us a complimentary carrot cake on the dessert place that said "Happy Anniversary" is chocolate sauce. I will post pictures later.

Dinner was amazing! I enjoyed every bite. But my favorite part of the night was the sweet card that Joe gave to me. I love that boy!

Always Remember

September 11th just makes me so sad.

I remember watching the planes crashing into the buildings. It was rare that I was awake that early, but I had to drive to Fullerton that morning.

The next morning, I woke up to learn that Lisa Frost was in one of the airplanes. Lisa was probably one of the most amazing people I have ever met. We went to high school together. She continues to inspire me today.

On September 11, 2002, I read a book about the terrible day to my first class of first graders. They didn't really know why they were dressed in red, white, and blue. It made me thankful for their innocence.

Going to the World Trade Center site three times since 9-11 makes me sad. So sad to see such mass destruction and innocent lives taken for no reason.

If I were not so tired, I think I would be able to do a better job at expressing more detailed emotions. But all I can think of is how sad I feel.

God Bless America

So Boring

Now that school is back in session:
I do not have time to take pictures
I do not have time to blog
I do not have energy to do anything
I do not have anything exciting to blog about, well, at least not anything that is appropriate for a blog.
I do not have time to pack my lunch - today I grabbed poptarts, popcorn, goldfish, and a diet pepsi max. That is a lunch of champions!
I do not have time to hang out with babies.
I do not have time to hang out with my friends.


Crap! I just realized that I forgot to DVR 90210! Ahhh man!

See, I do not have time to remember things.


I think things will be better next week.
