Does 911 Work Outside of California?!

Yes that is a real question that I was asked by my LA-anite {someone who has lived in SoCal for her entire life} friend. I think I didn't stop laughing forever. We were talking about how 411 works everywhere and 511 really only works in CA {granted it's the only place I've ever tried it - except for the middle of nowhere NV and there really isn't a need for it there} and then my lovely Cinderella says, "Does 9-1-1 work outside of CA?" You have to cut her some slack as other than living in LA, Oakland, and Argentina for a couple of years - she's never had need to use 9-1-1... still it's funny, at least I think so anyway...

So in answer to the question I asked yesterday about why you should always wash your fruits and veggies before you eat them? No matter if they are organic or not? Because on our LA road trip last weekend {pics soon to come} they transport your nice fresh fruits & veggies in open topped semis with the exhaust coating them in their black 'exhausty muck'. It's gross. Now, I've never been one for washing my fruits and veggies, in fact I think I have maybe once or twice, but now after watching them move them from place to place with all the elements attacking them at 70mph I will and have become an avid veggie/fruit washer. I should make some of my own veggie wash using:

• 1 Lemon
• 2 TBL Distilled White Vinegar
• 1 C Tap Water

1. Squeeze at least 1 TBL of Lemon juice out of your lemon into your spray bottle {this is the natural disinfectant}
2. Add vinegar and water {vinegar is an acid that will neutralize any pesticides that might be on your freggies {that's slang for fruits and veggies}
3. Spray on any freggies and then rinse :)
   

Has anyone seen, 'More To Love'? Weird. Very Strange. Awkward. And well, this is saying a lot but I don't like it. It is the only reality TV show that I don't like. I know that doesn't make me sound like an intelligent being, but I really do love my reality TV - it's my escape, my little place that I enjoy. But this show is just, well, mean? do I dare say? Posting weights on TV every minute, but they are supposed to be real sized? Then what does their weight matter? These women have high self confidence?! Then why are they crying every time they are in the "Diary Room" {had to get a little Big Brother in there}. Anyway, it's weird and awkward and I don't like it. Not to mention I was totally turned off by the fact the hostess wore flip flops, yes she was in an evening gown with FLIP FLOPS! Gross. Maybe it's just me but I think it's wrong.

Oh, and yes 9-1-1 does in fact work outside of California :)

And I had to buy 2 new tires today... that's another story... this will be 5 tires for my vehicle in the past 18 months.... gah.

Anticipation

blink blink blink - I've sat here for I don't know how long once again watching the cursor blinking. I decided that instead of watching it for another hour or 6 I would just start typing and see where it took me.

Thought A - I'm tired of my work cell, every 10 mins or so it turns itself off and then back on, I think I'm going to go to sprint and complain for the THIRD time. I don't want a different phone I really like the one that I have, maybe I'll google it's problem and see if I can come up with any results.

Thought B - Mr. B is coming home tonight for a few days! I am excited, I miss my husband a lot, more than I can even express into words, yet at the same time - it's weird. I haven't seen him for 3 months. I have my own schedule and eating habits and I'm going to have to 'change' them and start cooking more, which means grocery shopping - I.HATE.GROCERY.SHOPPING. It'll be strange to mesh together again, and then he'll leave for another month and be home for a couple years, which will be extremely wonderful! Then we'll have to figure out where to go and what to do as he will probably leave his company and we will probably (most likely, hopefully, can't wait to) move out of California - think I'm a little excited at this prospect? Which brings me to...

Thought C - Friends. You know the movies where there is a group of friends and they by each others side and help one another and whatnot? ie. Sex and the City, Friends, Catch and Release, PS I Love You, etc. I have that here, here in California something I never thought I would find. Yes I have great friends that are not part of this so called 'group'. But all my friends growing up have never 'known' each other or were at different ends of the spectrum (goth, punk, prep, goody-goody, shy) therefore we all never hung out together. I love the fact that I have a close group of friends; Kim and Dawn. I love them all dearly and to me they are family and I hope that in some way I can give back what they have given me. They lift me up, give great advice, make me laugh, keep me smiling when all I want to do is cry, keep my company when my love is away, these wonderful ladies welcomed me into their world and to them, I want to say "THANK YOU".

Thought D - Books. I need to read more, I love reading, I always have it just seems that lately I can't get into a book no matter what the material is, and that's not normal for me. Maybe I'm just too wrapped up into things that don't matter ya know? Like television, television, movies, and maybe some more television. I tell you that boob tube really sucks your life away sometimes. I am listening to "Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe" right now, I wanted to finish it before the weekend before Mr. B comes home, we have the first movie I just wanted to 'read' the book before I watched it. Here are my books: My Book Blog.

I think that's about all I can think of right now besides I have a lot of stuff to do before going to lunch with one of our vendors and then getting to my page long To-Do list...  Have a wonderful day everyone!
