LIfe: Happy Birthday Luna-See!

Three years ago today I started this blog.  In celebration I think I'll eat a cupcake or a cinnamon roll....or maybe even both!  Hey, we're are celebrating here!

Check out my very first post here:  http://luna-see.blogspot.com/2008/01/next-time-im-in-vegas.html

Funny, I think I've been to Vegas once in these last 3 years.  It was such a short trip that I didn't even get a chance to see a show.  I wonder f Le Reve is even still around.

Regardless, Happy Birthday, Blog!  When I'm old and senile (I hope) you'll be here to help me remember these days!

Life: Christmas Status...

Shutterillaville Christmas 2009

So far...

...no Chritmas lights up on the house.
...no Christmas tree.
...no Christmas decor in the house. (The photo above is from last year.)
...no baked Holiday goodies.

But...

...all gifts have been purchased and wrapped.
...some of our Christmas cards have gone out.

That counts for something, right?!

Why does it feel so hard this year?  Too many other things on my plate right now, I suppose. 

Bah Humbug.

LIfe: My First Disney Concert Hall Experience

The Bots invited us to see the LA Philharmonic at Disney Concert Hall last week.  Sadly, Mr. Bot was called away on biz so he wasn't able to join us after all.  However, his seat was filled by one very lovely Evil Bunnie who was kind enough to remind us that it's not customary to clap between movements (which I totally would have done).  Throughout the evening Mrs. Bot, our classical music historian, shared fascinating tidbits of info on Haydn, Mozart and Cherubini.  Then at intermission Farilla treated us all to Champagne where we (very appropriately) toasted  to Framily! Our evening was as glorious and festive as all get out!  'Tis the season!

Life: Okay, Seriously....

My folks came into town back in October for Lil L's birthday. They stopped by the house just long enough to drop off SEVEN FILE BOXES of my childhood stuff they still had sitting up in their attic.

I just did the math and realized that these Lug Soles have been with me for 18 years.  I upgraded to new Vibram soles about 12 years ago.  At which time the shoe repair fella said they weren't worth replacing and that I should just go buy a new pair for boots.  Who's laughing now, Sucka!?

I know you can't really tell from this iPhone photo but that bright glare is actually the biggest disco ball I've ever seen.

Last weekend we started making something similar to this vertical garden but on a much smaller scale. So far so good. Stay tuned...
