i didn't really talk much about my weekend... my friend stephen visited from bakersfield, and joined me, nikki and nate for the sabercats game. now, as usual, the sabercats won. they "crushed" the chicago rush with a score of 49 - 35. this of course made me estatic. there were some chicago fans sitting next to us. at the begining of the game they were very vocal. by the end of the game, you would have never guessed that they were there. this win gave my sabercats a place at arena bowl … [Read more...]

i love taking nate to the sabercats games. he just loves to watch the saberkittens, and he is so good while we are there. i'm glad that nikki is back. we both really need friends right now, and i'm glad that we both are making the effort. i had a great weekend. i just wish that i didn't miss the rocker like i do. … [Read more...]

little did i know that people would be so interested in my new purse. so, i've done some early morning research (yeah, ok, it's almost 10, but i'm in mourning damn it). zappos.com carries the pink/chocolate and chocolate/champange versions. they also have the black and white purse bigger! wow! but the price! i think i paid less than $50. Monterey bay clothing company has the chocolate/champange for $79. accents of elegance has the exact bag for $65. i've not shopped with them, but they … [Read more...]

missey andrea and i went to the dog park again on saturday morning. there were not as many dogs there as there have been in the past. there was this cute mutt name bosco, a black cocker named chinga, daisy and olive. it was, dare i say, boring. even for daisy. then more dogs started coming. a beagle named snoopy who insisted on anally marking EVERYWHERE. at one point my absolutely intelligent dog decided to lay down under him while he was marking. lets just say, it was gross. really … [Read more...]

the summer concert season at the mountain winery looks incredible. jason mraz, counting crows, the corrs, and big bad voodoo daddy, just to name a few. in my pre-rocker life, i would have just bought 4 seats, invited my sister and sporty spice, and hoped to find a friend to join me. in my rocker life, he went with me, even if he hated the artist (i made him see counting crows, it wasn't pretty). in my post-rocker life, i'm just not sure what to do. it's not like i can just call my sister up … [Read more...]

meet my newest piece of art. it's name is "blue dog - night flight" by anne leuck feldhaus. i've been watching this artist on ebay since i started buying art. i had put a $50 limit on my art purchases, and the new piece came in at $46. not too bad. i'm really happy to have it. i think it will be a good addition to the collection. i was feeling like i had too many cats. i'm also watching this other painting by peter gullerud. he has worked in disney's animation department. i'm thinking … [Read more...]

today is my first sunday without the rocker. i would imagine that if non of this had happened, i would have been by myself today anyway (sharks game, doncha know), but it felt a bit weird this morning. for the first time in months, i slept. i think i passed out about 11:30, and then woke at 9:30. ms. do let me sleep until 9:30. i can't believe it. that dog always wakes me up on weekend days... today, she was snoring at 9:30. i woke her up for a change. then i did the unthinkable. i ate … [Read more...]
