Watched the movie "Yes Man" last night while eating dinner from Domenico's (yum...antipasto salad and mushroom/pepperoni pizza). Mike totally knocked out at the beginning of the movie, possibly from food coma, but he missed out. Don't expect great things from this movie, as I did, and you will be surprised as to how refreshing this movie turns out. I laughed at many parts of the film, goofy parts-not super hilarious parts, but this movie was great to watch as I unwound from work. And I totally had flashbacks from when they filmed in Pasadena and we received phone calls of someone bungee jumping off the Colorado bridge, I laughed inside when I recognized the scene in the movie.Friday, May 22, 2009

lovers 4 life
I love having lazy days where my off day can be spent just cleaning up around the house and finishing up with things that slipped my mind. A few weeks ago my sorority sister Daphne to Southern California, or shall I say to America (haha), for a visit. I love seeing people that I do not get to see everyday, and I loved it even more that I got to see these lovely folk.
This is us trying to squeeze into one picture. We're just trying to enjoy our dessert at BJ's.
Love these two! Daphne is totally right, Albert can never take a serious picture.
Love my Gamma Phi girls! Kristen, Yalsi, and Daphne- it was nice seeing you girls again!

infested
We have roaches! There is brown goo along the corners of the back room to kill off the cockroaches that have infested our lounge. Due to the fear and disgust I have imposed on myself, I have not taken a nap in the back room for about a few weeks now. Rachel totally creeped me out when she suggested I need to wear a painter's mask and ear plugs to prevent roaches from crawling into my body while I sleep.
Meet our new friend in dispatch, his name is Freddie Roach. (Please leave a comment if you get the joke, because not too many people find his name as hilarious as I do). He came about today at work, and has enjoyed his afternoon spent with myself, KJ, Richard, Myriam, Robin, and Lorena. He wears a name tag because he's new to the team, but I am pretty sure it won't be too long before he has a chance to meet everyone.

training
The newest update in my life is that we are taking the dogs back to training. The four of us are all signed up and getting ready to overcome our bad habits. For 8 weeks, starting June 3rd, we will be enrolled in the Beginner class at Petsmart in order to better the relationship we have with our dogs.
In preparation for training the dogs have their veterinary check up for overall wellness and vaccination update (if needed) at the end of this month. We've been going to Dr. Gary White for the past two years now and although he is not the cheapest veterinary out there I think the pups are happy with the services rendered there. The doctors and employees are very sincere and genuine with the care of all the animals.
As much as I love this boy, Toby Luna officially has a new owner! Mike has been putting in a lot of effort into building their dog/owner relationship, but its early and there is progress between them. Toby has already completed the Puppy Training at Petsmart, but Mike is still exciting and willing to take Toby to class to make him a better dog owner.
With Maddy, it's a whole other story. Maddy is a very smart dog, but I like to say more of a "smart ass" than anything else. I have high hopes that this trainer for the Beginner class at Petsmart will continue to do great things with Maddy. While Mike & I were shopping at Petsmart the other day and the trainer successfully showed me that Maddy actually can be walked using a Gentle Leader. He walked her in the store and she stopped barking at other dogs, that totally persuaded me of his competence and we signed up for the class. The background story goes: Maddy was fitted before for a gentle leader and it was unsuccessful (she would always slip out, even if i changed the direction we were walking). I look forward to the weeks ahead, I have great hope that we can be great parents and my dogs can be obedient.

swim fan
This past weekend we had a swim day with the girls, plus Bryan. It was loads of fun as we chit chatting, swam, and giggled. It was perfect weather, not too hot not too cold, and the pool was nice and warm.
Excuse my legs, but it was so relaxing just laying out by the pool.
Love the sneaky/creepy poolside picture, it's like they were stalking me!
I totally snacked on cinnamon graham crackers while sipping my drink. Swimming gets you hungry!
Always fun times with the girls. I have to thank Maria for our Cinco De Mayo presents, a book on how to make Margaritas, Mojitos and other drinks. Of course, because it was a Tuesday and we were hanging with Mah-ree-yah we ended the night at Havana House. It was an interesting night and I don't hate the place anymore, so I would consider going back again. We plan on having another swim day, possibly with more people and a fancy poolside drink (recipe courtesy of my new book from Maria). The weather is getting warm so be on the look out for an invite!
