Oh, how lovely was our 3 night trip to Lake Arrowhead!!! For the first time I actually recognized how lovely it is to not have to worry about making dinner (ahem, though that's rarely a task I rise to the occasion of) how nice it is to not have to do the dishes (though I now have a dishwasher!) And to not have to wake up early to go anywhere... although when I have to wake up really early to go anywhere, it's usually an acting job, which has me bouncing out of bed with joy :0)
And yes, Phil and I celebrated our second anniversary and I am so happy to have so much love in my life. So much that I cried two of the three nights because I missed Bailey SO much.
Details? Three great nights of sleep at the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa. It was beautiful and wonderful. Two fantastic breakfasts at Belgian Waffle Works on the lake in Arrowhead Village. Yum! Thank you to my wonderful manager Joy Stevenson for the tip! One really cute, super-discounted, new Coach purse from the Coach Outlet in Arrowhead Village and one relaxing, wonderful lemonade mint massage at the Spa of the Pines. Yay! Oh, and many, many duck-feeding sessions lakeside. Um, why do I love to feed the ducks so much? Especially the baby ones! What? Baby?!
Just kidding! For now...
Isn't it something the way your surroundings can color the way you see everything? Well, at least it's true for me, so it's imperative I stay out of jail cells and mental wards as long as possible.
We have moved! No more paranoid, mildly insane co-tenant with unruly hair and psychotic dogs dictating when I can do laundry! Our new home is so beautiful, it makes me so happy every morning that I live there. Ah, serenity!
Speaking of serenity, we're off to Lake Arrowhead in a few days to celebrate our two year anniversary! Last year it was so great to make the trip to "get away from it all." This year, there's nothing I want to get away from. Yay new house!!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Could it be??? A return to blogging?!
Yes. I started to feel like I was using my blog as an excuse to bitch my heart out, which is just not a good daily practice. Alas, I've missed it! I've missed your comments! So can we talk about SALT?
I loved it. Not just because it was a relentlessly exciting film, but also because it was an awesome action flick staring a WOMAN. Yes, I have a thing for women in film. No, not just the organization that hands out really impressive gift bags at their events, but the actually ladies that grace the screen. That said, Angelina Jolie in all her glory, was one of about three women who appeared in the movie, among a sea of dudes. Expected? Sure, it's the norm. But what I didn't expect was how thrilled I was to watch a hand-cuffed Angelina Jolie knock out two police officers and take over their cop car in the middle of a high speed chase. Or... something like that. But I remember thinking, this is so much more worth watching her do this rather than Bruce Willis!
I also kept picturing her slew of children watching their mom be a total badass, kill dozens of people, kick lots of ass and run what looked like about three marathons. I once saw my mom chase my sister around the entire perimeter of our backyard with a wooden spoon. Not the same.
Alright! Have a great Sunday night! I'm ready to watch episode 2 of Mad Men with an open mind.
Hugs!
