I am starting to think that this cold weather is mocking me.

hmmph!

So I caught a cold a few weeks ago and I thought .. "man I am really sick"

But after Neti potting and drinking hot lemonade and vicks and some... tylenol warming syrup... I was a happy healthy girl. But not before sharing it with my family....

Imma giver what can I say?!

So The WarEagle and I decided a trip to sunnier skys and mickey mousier atmospheres...

Mollie went to stay with her Aunti

the turtles were well... hibernating ...

(honey and molasses are the cutest turtles EVER by the way!)

WarEagle has never been to disney before... so I was very excited to get to show him MY favorite place in the world ... well besides.. next to him... We drove to LA and stayed in a suite at the Marriott over looking Disneyland. It was a beautiful room. Very serene and peaceful. Our personal friend and Executive Chef Hany made us Asian tacos the first night .They are his own creation... YUM.

The first night there we just settled in and I was exhausted from all of my stress at work. Plus I have had some other health stuff going on .. mayhaps my body is changing hormonally. bleh.. I digress.  So we snuggled up and slept SOOOOO good. The next day we went to see some of his friends who own this awesome little snack company.

I gave them some candles and HE was so impressed he is presenting my candle line for distribution at various locations in .... (drumroll please..._)  NEWPORT BEACH.

all good stuff I think. 

Then he hands me this huge box and takes me into the warehouse and says... pick out everything you like... and take home with you.

ummm can we say kid in a candy store?

I know I can... but I was really good and only took a package of pecans.

Afterwards we went back to hotel and Chef and VP of Marriott drove us to Disneyland and got us in. (royal treatment) I totally felt like a princess. Even more so when the jungle cruise driver said "come saddle up to me princess... i've got a gun"

LOL

We rode all the good stuff til HE got sick on space mountain.

We ate lunch at the Blue Bayou... Delicious crab cakes and au gratin potatos .

We left around 9 and I went back to the hotel and had a bath... a very... long bath.

I fell asleep and man I slept sooooooooooooo good.

We slept in and went to visit another croney of the WarEagle ... this time it is a food production company and they make p90 bars and they are also working with my guy on formulating his new food product that will be released soon.  I really got along with the owner... we talked conservative politcs and religion and he was actually shocked I could hold my own... (judging a book by the girlie cover I think)  I toured the facitilty and watched them make chocolate bars.. amazing process!

When we were leaving he handed me samples of wareagles food product for focus groups and then handed me two boxes of chocolate covered caramels... I lamented the fact that he is the divinity king... and everytime i try to make it.. well it just turns out wrong. tastes good ... but just isn't pretty.

later we went to California adventure and toured the park ... we did some sitting and people watching which is one of my faves.

why do women where high heels to disneyland.

We left early again because we went to the racetrack at los alamitos..

Can we just say I can pick a horse?

hung out with some super cool gentleman ... had a pepsie and talked to one of the trainers ... it was weird cuz he looked just like my dad.

creepy

Something I learned this week ... and am questioning...

When did the USDA start carrying guns... and why do they get to point them at seventy year old owners of businesses...

another reason why government sucks.

TOO MUCH POWER!

We were going to attend the Angels game but there was some big wheel thing going on...

which is good because WarEagle's other business...

www.catdaddycustoms.com

is all about wheels..

We went home... and it was raining and ....

Revenge of the cold...

it started out as an asthma tickle... which grew and grew .. and .. BAM - i have bruised ribs .. and a headache that doesn't go away.

My taxes are prepared and I am awaiting my return.

Watched the Oscars... wtg Sandy Bullock .. you had an amazing performance in the Blindside and totally deserve the recognition by the academy.

Christoph Waltz or whatever from Inglourious basterds ... was amazing in his role too. I can't wait to see him on more film.

Finding it tragic that Corey Haim died...

Such a waste of life.

I am really doing well right now .. well except for the cold . Have been trying to get this novel finished.Still waiting to see where I am moving to... or if we will stay in Nevada and  just buy a home.

Have been really happy, and just trying to relax in life. take it as it comes... and not get too excited or disappointed or tripped up on the small stuff.

ahhhh the good life...
