Happy Early Birthday To Me!
What's better than celebrating your b-day? Celebrating it early! I was wonderfully surprised today with these beauties.
What's even better than celebrating your birthday early? Celebrating your birthday with the wonderful news that you're going to have a baby.
YAY! We just found out 2 weeks ago that we're having a baby in early January. The news is still overwhelming & exciting. Our friends & family are beyond excited & supportive. The latest debate is who will be the nina & nino. :) It's super cute. So that is the reason why I've been a super blogger slacker. I've been so consumed with.........well pathetically sleep. I sleep more than the poops & that's pathetic.

my baaaaaabyyy!!!
*dramatic moment over*
Well I guess baby is kinda pushing it considering Oscar will turn the big 5 on May 18! But He'll always be my baby. I've had dogs growing up but Oscar is my first "real" dog. Yes, I spoil him rotten but that's my prerogative.
Intro Bobby Brown
Along with alot of love, attention, long walks & lots of treats I also shower him w/crazy concern. Once Paul took him out for a late walk & he came back home w/a bloody paw. I instantly freaked out & rushed him to the vet. It was already after hours so I paid $40 extra for a home visit. Turns out his pretty little paws weren't use to hard pavement & it sliced them open. Poor baaabyyy!
I've always felt a little weary with our Vet. He was always "rough" with Oscar & Sadie. Never once said hi to them or take the time to get along w/them. Sounds funny but that's a huge plus. Who wants to see somebody they're afraid of? On each visit Oscar & Sadie would tremble the moment I opened the vet door & Sadie would growl at Dr. Sid. The last straw was Molly's initial visit. She was nervous but a very good patient. Instead of taking the time to calm her nerves Dr. Sid was harsh & even pulled on her leash when she didn't instantly follow me outside the office.
PISSED THE HELL OUT OF ME!
So I remembered awhile back our friend recommended his vet & decided to take a chance. Thank goodness we did! This past Sunday I noticed a bump on the outside of his left ear. I made a trip to the new Vet but they were closed for the weekend. :( So I called on Monday & made an appt.
The vet was really nice & gentle with Oscar. She inspected his bumps (he now has 4) & said it could be an allergic reaction to a fly or another bug bite. He's to take medication for the next two weeks. If it doesn't improve within the two weeks OR if it worsen within the next couple of days we have to take him back for a biopsy. :(
Of course I'm hoping for the best & that it is just an allergic reaction but there's the horror in having to wait.
Thank you for reading & understanding I'm a HUGE crazy dog lover that tends to freak out before it's necessary.

The best things come in 3
I love my brothers. They each have their quirky personality & personal goals. I love that they're becoming their own person but a bit sad that the little boys I use to read bedtime stories & run around w/super soakers (ok maybe we still do that) are turning into men. There's nothing I wouldn't do or haven't done for each of them. The youngest of the 3 marvels me with his passion for music. He started off in band knowing nothing about any instrument but the name Trombone. Now he's first chair Trombone player & on the honor band. Last night I received a phone call full off good exciting news from Richard.
R : Guess where we're playing?
B : Ummmmm Disneyland? (oh wait he already played there)
R : No the STAPLES CENTER!
B : Holy crap WHAT?! The Staples Center that's huge!
P : For the Playoffs?!
B : Holy crap for the Lakers?!
R : *basting in all his glory* YEAH!
How exciting! His goal for tonight is getting Kobe to sign his Trombone. Keep your fingers crossed! He's such a successful young man & I'm so proud.
Congratulations Richard I love you!

The time has come
To make the big cut! Ever since I was a little girl (no lie) I've wanted short hair w/bangs. My mother had other plans. Her plans included long locks full of knots & LONG showers consisting of rinse & repeat. UGH. I've always had a love/hate relationship with my hair. I loved the curls but hated the process. I have to scrunch, towel scrunch, dry, hairspray, scrunch, towel scrunch, dry, hairspray. You get the idea. So after a long 25 years........the deed is done.
After cutting the first 10" lock there was no turning back. I've had many different responses some good some WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO?!!! hee hee but most importantly Paul absolutely went ga ga over the new look (Choowwww!). To tell you the truth I was thrilled with the process & end product! It's lighter & a completely different look. I love, love, love it!

Long weekends
I don't know why but this weekend felt extra long & I loved it! Even though it's part of the weekday Thursday after work we decided (ok I decided but then I help Paul decided he wanted to as well) hike up the mountain trail near our condo. I didn't take a pic of the actual mountain (ok really big hill) but you get the idea.
On Friday we relaxed & cleaned the house. I love the smell of a clean house.
There's our condo! Well....if you squint really hard. :p
You can see the 210 freeway to the left.
On Friday we relaxed & cleaned the house. I love the smell of a clean house. Then Saturday I headed out to the beach w/Diana (BFF!) to Balboa beach. Paul stayed home & played sports w/the boys. Crazy boys running in the sun. We went where our toes could dig into the sand. The weather was perfect!
Then on Sunday Paul & I went swimming. :) The water was freezing! We decided the best way to get over the shock...was to jump in. :/ It wasn't so bad after my internal organs started working again. After swimming a few laps the water turned warm & it was really nice. The day was super hot so a cool dip was just what we needed. Afterward we head to PinkBerry. 
I've heard so much (yays & nays) about the place we decided to check it out for ourselves. WOW. The line was out the door so it was obviously the trendy thing to do. I loved all the gadgets along the wall which, were also for sale. I played w/each one as we waited. When it was finally our turn we realized we had no idea what we wanted. :p Our cashier was really nice & patient w/us newbies. Paul had Original with Kiwis, Strawberries & chocolate chips & I finally decided on a original/green tea swirl with granola, Fruity Pebbles (they're after my own heart) & rice cake bits formed into a marshmallow goodness. 
I checked online & they're not listed but believe you me they were FAB. Despite the sticky tables & neglected bathroom I can't wait for our next visit. I particularly loved that it stayed cold & kept it's form until the very last bite. Mmmm! Paul liked it but isn't sitting at the edge of his seat for another trip. Then we went off to Target to blow $100 plus on wonderful nothings that we never knew we wanted until we arrived at Target. :p The magic of the red clearance tag! If you're a sucker like myself never look at the original listed price. It's usually .50-.75 cents more :/ Oh well! A sale is a sale!
