Hands Free

Beginning tomorrow, the law against talking on the phone while driving takes effect. I like it. I see so many horrible drivers who don't even realize they are doing stupid things because they are talking on the phone. Hands-free devices are still allowed. However..... there is a downside to this. The law does NOT include texting while driving. Why? I think texting is worse than holding the phone up to your ear. And now that people can't talk on the phone anymore, they'll text more which can actually cause more problems.
On another topic, this past weekend we moved a couple things into our new house. We are still deciding if we should get a uhaul and move everything ourselves or get a moving company to do it. We've got some really heavy things that would be hard for just us two to do. We are excited for the move.

Busy weekend

*pictures to come soon*

It was a very eventful weekend. Heather and Adam were here Thurs-Sun. They are on their way to Sydney Australia for 3 years while Heather attends college there. We did a lot of stuff which included seeing Get Smart at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood and the Le Brea Tar Pits. Nice time overall. However, very hot for walking outside. Temps hitting the 100's.

Also, we are moving!!! We signed the lease last night. It is a nice house in a nice neighborhood with a nice backyard. I'll post some pictures soon. Sure the commute won't be too much fun, especially with gas prices, but I think the quality of life will be much better living in a house instead of an apartment. So that makes it worth it.

Just wanted to post this

First day of summer

We are ringing in the first day of summer with very hot weather. I don't mind at all.

The tv off season

Evenings are boring now. I'm usually here by myself since this is the time of year that Rob works late at his second job several nights a week.....and there are no good shows on at night anymore now that Idol, Survivor and Lost are done for the season. America's Got Talent begins tonight so that is fun. Here was last year's winner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTSFhIv9bYg&feature=related Very good! Is American Inventor coming back? I watched that too. Ah..... reality tv.
On another topic, my old high school friend Heather and her husband Adam are coming to visit this Thursday night for a couple days. I'm excited for that. Then they're off to Australia for 3 years! I never get to see her so it'll be great to catch up and hang out a bit.

random post

Hi. I don't really have much to say but I thought I needed another post here. What's new with you? Leave a comment. That's really it.
Oh, by the way, remember the last post when I said gas was 4.43 at our corner station? Now it is 4.65. That's 22 cents higher in just 1 week. Pay rates aren't raising fast enough to keep up with inflation and these crazy gas prices.



Here's a cute pic of Misty

Ha. I find this funny. Our corner gas station......$4.43 as of yesterday.

Anniversary

Happy 2 year anniversary to us!

Fire

The Universal Studios Hollywood backlot caught fire. Several sets burned including the New York City set and the King Kong ride. Also, a couple sound stages burned down and the video vault too. They estimate millions of dollars worth of damage. Here's a couple pictues I took this morning.

This one is from our apartment.

And these are from Bob's Big Boy resturant right next my work two blocks from our apartment.

California has to have good firefighters. Being so dry out here makes fires spread quickly.
