New Playlist....YEAH!!!!

They're finally gone. Yep, all the Christmas carols are gone, replaced by LOTS (all) of ABBA. I loved Mama Mia so that's what the new play list has (except one). I liked the movie alot but the music didn't even come close to the original version. Pierce Brosnan's singing was truly awful. And speaking of other major disappointments, Colin Firth as the potential "gay" dad really wrecked my day. I have loved him forever as Mr. Darcy. This was so NOT good. Anyway, this music makes me really happy. So happy that tomorrow I think I'll go buy the CD. I can put it on the house intercom system and dance my way through vacuuming. Hope you all enjoy it as much as me!!!

On a side note, the Jazz are creeping their way back up. They slipped past Dallas tonight to the seventh position and are they are only two games behind Houston for the 4th position. Houston should go down the toilet as usual so things are looking up now. This makes me very happy too. If my "personal" Jazz rep can get us tickets to a playoff game, we just might go. I sold my season tickets so my people get my playoff tickets. We'll be just like the other poor Utah slobs trying to score lower bowl tickets unless Gary can come through for us. He got us tickets last year to see them in Utah and LA but I am NEVER doing the Staples thing again. Those Laker fans were ravenous animals. I had my true blue t-shirt on and they wanted me and the one other Jazz fan in the arena. I'd rather drive or fly to Utah!

A Birthday in the Family

We had a birthday in the family. Friday was Riley's birthday. I think I have to keep the number secret. Since Nan and Sam couldn't be with us for the party on Saturday night, we planned the night at the casino to be with them. Saturday night we had the party at home with neighbors and friends. I actually planned a dinner and it turned out pretty good - grilled blackened salmon with mango, pineapple and strawberry salsa for on top. We forgot to open presents until after all of our guests had left but he had already guessed what he was getting. Yep, we've joined the Wii family. We decided that we wanted to bowl on Saturday nights after playing on Gary & Jen's setup at Christmas and I'm the queen of duck hunt since the original Nintendo days. Now if I can only find Jaws and Castlevania to play. He had happy birthday phone calls from Gary and Jen and Micheal and from a couple of his siblings and that was nice. The party was lots of fun and I think he might have enjoyed getting older for one day at least.

Mmmm Mmmmm good!

Dinner out tonight with Nan and Sam.......fun! fun! fun!!!! They are in OC for Sami and Kodi's CIF Water Polo game so they thought we needed to have dinner tonight and we agreed. We'll all be coming from different directions and meeting in Cabazon. None of us has been to this casino before but I just googled it for "dining" and it looks like a winner. Many restaurants to choose from once you get inside. This is a casino right on I-10 that looks almost exactly like the Palms in Las Vegas (same architect).

I still haven't got Christmas pictures posted but still intend to do so. I've still got to post the pictures that we took with our fabulous guests that came to visit in January. I just can't seem to get the picture part together even though I got a really great new camera for Christmas and Jen sent me a disk with all the pictures she took with her great new camera. We'll get there sooner or later.

We're still here!

It's been forever since my last post and it wasn't even a "real" post. I still need to catch up on our trip to Disneyland and Christmas. We're putting our other house up for sale again and there has been lots to do (clean the garage and get rid of massive amounts of stuff) so we've been busy. We had weekend guests (some of you will recognize the name - Tammy and Allen) a couple of weekends ago and had a great time with them at Joshua Tree National Park. Pictures to follow as soon as I have time to download them. So stay tuned and maybe tonight after I have dinner and play cards at a neighbor's house, we'll get some of those pictures posted.
