It’s The Kid…
Rock, that is. Yesterday a few friends and I went to a concert at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View (over where Google and Linked In headquarters are located) to see Uncle Kracker, ZZ Top and Kid Rock. I was more interested in the last two more than Uncle Kracker. There were plenty of “older” people … Continue reading
Party Like A Rock Star… Or Not
What an unproductive weekend! Friday was the last day for one of the analysts, a female, in our office. She had plans to go out drinking with the analysts from our group (finance) and the other group (real estate) around 4:00 p.m. One of our male analysts invited me along as well, though he showed … Continue reading
A Parting of Ways
I’m sort of at a loss as to how to begin this post. Let’s start by saying that an ex called, then texted me last night; we haven’t seen each other in many years, but talk to each other infrequently throughout these more recent years. Though there was no message on my voice mail, his … Continue reading
Going Old School Again
For Musical Monday, we’re taking another step back to the fabulous 80’s. This was one of my favorite songs ’cause I always listened to The Cure and The Psychedelic Furs! I went to a Cure concert at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena once and bought one of their T-shirts. All they had left of the … Continue reading
Vive La France!
For Bastille Day Weekend, I decided to do something French-themed every day/night. On Friday, I went to the Grand Opening of Muka over by Davies Symphony Hall. The owner, Jean-Luc, is a former bartender at my favorite neighborhood French wine bar, Amelie. He opened his own place, Moussy’s Cafe, in L’Alliance Francaise, which recently relocated … Continue reading
Money, Money, Money or Where Does It All Go?
Yesterday was pay day. Then I made a little list of what needed to be paid for and took care of them. Those included three credit cards, three monthly investments, my gym membership, the remainder of the casita that’s reserved in Santa Fe, the roundtrip shuttle from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, a new battery for … Continue reading
I’m Rick James, B****!
I bet THAT got your attention, huh?! For this Musical Monday, we’re gonna’ go WAAYYY back. I used to sing this song so damned much at the top of my lungs that my Thai then-boyfriend dubbed me “Tina Jane.” I STILL sing it whenever I hear it! We all know that this song refers to … Continue reading
Post 4th of July
All things considered, my 4th of July wasn’t bad. I started the day by meeting my friend and her daughter at AMC Theaters to see the matinee of “Despicable Me 2.” I’m not usually a huge fan of animated movies, but the original “Despicable Me” was my favorite. Although this one was cute, the original … Continue reading
Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Lemonade
Although I would still LOVE the chance to live abroad, I am proud to be an AMERICAN, enjoying the many freedoms that we have!!! Happy Independence Day!!!
My Friend Is Looking For A Sponsor For a Kajukenbo Karate Championship
My friend, Bobby, has been practicing martial arts since he was a teenager in Vallejo. He was always phenomenal. He’s currently looking for a sponsor for the Kajukenbo Karate Championship in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 13, 2013. Although there isn’t much time, if any of you can sponsor him, help him in any way … Continue reading
