Beer and Ice Cream Sandwiches

It is 3:30 in the morning. Why is it that on nights when I am the most tired rather than sleep I ponder the night away? Just so we are all clear I went to bed at 8:30pm! I have been lying next to my sleeping husband for seven hours...how is that possible? Usually I am the first asleep but not tonight. No, tonight I decided that thinking about all the injustices in the world was a better use of my time. Well that and about a billion games of solitaire on my iPhone. Perhaps I should clarify injustices...I thought about the Serta counting sheep and how I wish that I could either count them, or be so sound asleep on my new mattress that I would put them out of work. I also thought about what I am going to wear today...although when I was thinking about that I was deciding on what to wear tomorrow. I sang to myself several songs including, Shakira's She Wolf, The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow, among others that I can't even remember at this point. Then while laying there I decided you know I really should update the blog today, and that is what I am doing...it is now 3:40 in the morning and I am hiding in the bathroom so that my husband can sleep typing a blog that I am sure sounds great, even ingenious to me at the moment but by tomorrow I will be wondering what the heck was I doing?! As for the title of this post...that is what my husband had for dinner, one beer and one ice cream sandwich...I had left over rice just in case you all wanted to know. Personally I think his sounds better. Oh by the way my fever finally broke on Saturday...thank you for all the well wishes! Okay I am going back to bed to ponder some more. Good morning!

Morning Sunshine!

A Bad Joke

How can you tell that Janet has started school again?
She neglects the blog for several weeks.
I told you it was bad, even if it is true. Well school is back in full swing for me, and as usual Greg and I have been keeping our weekends busy too. We have gone to the Getty Villa which is an incredible museum. We have gone down to San Pedro and went on a tour of the beautiful lighthouse and even stopped by the Korean Friendship Bell. Then last week on September 9, 2009 something really exciting happened...The Santa Monica Pier celebrated it's 100th birthday! We had a great night there were three barges out in the ocean that set of fireworks, there were live bands and we had some friends over for dinner and cards, it was such a fun night. Then over this past weekend Greg and I flew to Arizona for a family birthday party which was a ton of fun. Sadly I ended up getting sick my last day there and am still sick now...hopefully I will be better soon I don't want to spend my birthday in bed with a box of tissues! Till next time here are some pictures of our most recent excursions!

PS: I won't make any promises but I will really try to update the blog once a week!
