Just Go With It

Since our days our numbered to see movies in the theater I talked Al into seeing Just Go With It. I wasn't expecting much with this movie, but it was so funny. Definitely don't expect a big plot, but do be prepared to laugh. One good thing about LA on a Friday night is you can go to any theater and buy a ticket at the last minute, sit wherever you want, and not have to listen to people crunch popcorn in your ear.
After the movie we lucked out and got a sweet deal on Laker's tickets. They were even lower bowl!!

I was more into looking for stars than watching the game and I totally wish I would've brought my binoculars.

Al bought me some cotton candy to keep me entertained. Don't mind my double chin or fake wedding ring on my fat fingers.
Are you surprised the Lakers won? Free Jack in the Box tacos for everyone!!
Yay for finally going to a Lakers game. So much fun!!

Before And After

I received great news yesterday that Stacy was staying with us for the night. I've been wanting to reupholster our dining room chairs for awhile and since Al hates Jo-Ann Fabrics and I'm always too indecisive to choose something I knew Stacy would be perfect for this project. Ideally I would like a new table, but since we don't really have a big dining room I figure I should wait until we have a house. Here are the before pictures of the original fabric that I was so sick of looking at.

During our project
Notice my Lakers colors in the next picture. We totally wanted to go down to the Staples Center after the game, but figured the riots could be a little too much. I am from Utah after all.. It's amazing how many people will talk to you when you are wearing Lakers colors. Some lady came up to me at the mall and said "are you wearing purple for the Lakers?" Of course I said and then she proceeded to unbutton her trench coat and show me her Lakers shirt. I just smiled and said Gooooo Lakers!!
We were eating at a restaurant at the mall when the game ended and I've never seen anything like it, honking, screaming, and running around like crazy people. I'm sure alcohol had something to do with it, but we were only in Glendale. I can only imagine what downtown L.A. was like. Way to go Lakers!!

Sorry for that detour....back to the chairs. 10pm on a Thursday night probably isn't the best time to reupholster chairs and it took waaaaay longer than we thought it would. Getting those corners to lay proper was tricky.
This is at midnight.....still smiling and ready to throw the chairs through the window.
AFTER.....finally. I love them. I think they look so much better and now I can stop thinking about getting a new table for a few months:)
Just enjoying one more box of Jr Mints before we go to bed. So good to see you Stacy. Come back soon.

Randoms

I have a bunch of random pictures I've been meaning to post, so I will start with the best one first. Ever wonder what brain surgery looks like? Well here is an up close and personal picture of a day at the office for Al. This is one of the many devices Al sells called the brain retractor. If you look closely at the left middle piece, it holds the brain open. Pretty crazy right?Our first softball game last week. I got really bored playing Right Field, so I snapped some pictures of the Verdugo Hills. It's probably one of the coolest softball fields I've played on which is only like 2....hahah
Just doing my job out in Right Field. Al is that dot on the far right. He is by far the best player on our team and I'm not just saying that because he's my husband.
I was hoping there would be some dandelions or something to pick, but no such luck. Good news we won our first game. Only 11 more to go.....Ahhhhhhh
I was going to get our mail the other day and spotted this sign, so funny.
Tonya and Billy were so nice to drive all the way from The OC to Glendale to come see where we live and meet all our Armenian neighbors. We took them to downtown Glendale for some Thai food and Thrifty's ice cream afterwards....Tonya's childhood memory. Dear Tonya & Billy, Please move to California soon. XOXO Whitney
Lastly Lakers Fans. There are a lot of them in LA and if we could afford to buy tickets I might consider being one. I laughed when this jacked up Excursion drove by me on the freeway with his Lakers flag flapping in the wind.
