Thursday – Babendude and I wake up hella early and leave at 4am. We arrive in San Fran about 430pm. We drove through Gilroy, the Garlic Capital of the World, and boy can you smell it. We took the country route and in certain parts of the town, you can really smell it. Needless to say, there are no vampires living in this town. LOL. My parents hooked us up with 3 nights at the Suites on Fisherman’s Wharf. We have a clear view of Alcatraz, between two buildings.

We’re in walking distance of Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39, among other things. We ate at The Franciscan for our anniversary dinner. We first had a shrimp/crab legs/mussels combo. When that wasn’t enough, we ordered another fish dish (sea bass) and it came with really good sweet cream type of ice cream. It was good. I had a Chocolate Fog (coffee, chocolate liquer,Amaretto) to warm me up. It warmed me up, all right. I don’t drink, when I do it’s usually sangria, and even then, not very often. Needless to say, it didn’t sit well with me.

Friday - I attended the 826 National 101 seminar. Just like it states, I got an opportunity to see how 826 operates. I want to do the same thing, but on a smaller scale. I got an overall look at how they do things, and while I don’t want to do everything they do, I can take bits and pieces and work them to my advantage. The best part of the whole seminar was MANNY THE INCREDIBLE DANCING COW (I’ll post the story another time). That’s the name of the novella me and 19 other people collaborated on. LOL. We all received a copy at the end of the seminar. Bookbinding and Storytelling is one of the workshops all chapters of 826 offer and to see it in action was pretty awesome. Can you imagine how a child must feel, when, at the end of a 2 hour workshop, he or she has something to show for it? I think that’s so cool and something I’d like to offer as well. As we were creating the story, Chad the illustrator, was drawing the scenes. It was pretty cool to see it live and in action. Here’s the finished product.

Chad’s illustrations

And the author photo.

This particular chapter, which is the main headquarters, has a pirate themed store. As we all arrived for the seminar, they took our picture with pirate-themed props. I thought they were going to be used on the website or something, but this was even better. Here are some pics from the pirate themed store.

While I was attending the seminar, Babendude walked about 10 miles! He visited NikeTown in the Financial District, Chinatown and Japantown. He even hopped on the BART and ended up in West Oakland. LOL. Too funny. Needless to say, his calves were feeling a little sore by the time he came to get me. After the seminar, we went to eat at The Stinking Rose restaurant. Our table was really cool. It was a private booth with a curtain that you could close for privacy (you can see it if you click on the link). If you wanted to. I think. I had clam pasta with black linguine (yes black) in garlic shallot sauce. It was quite good. Babendude had lasagna. For dessert, I had Tiramisu Grande (it was in a large martini glass) and Babendude had a Super Sundae. Another one of the desserts was the famous Gilroy Garlic ice cream. With caramel mole sauce. Blech! Our waiter told us that, surprisingly, they sell out of the stuff. Gross!

Saturday – We took a hop on/hop off open top bus tour of San Francisco. 21 sites in an hour and a half: Fisherman’s Wharf, Fisherman’s Wharf B, Fisherman’s Wharf Activity Center, Piazza Market, North Beach and Coit Tower, Wells Fargo Museum, China Town, Union Square and Grand Hyatt Hotel, Union Square and Macys, Union Square and Galleries, Union Square Hotel District, Asian Art Museum, City Hall and Civic Center, Herbst Theatre, The Opera and The Symphony, The Painted Ladies and Alamo Square, Haight Ashbury, Golden Gate Park, Golden Gate Bridge (Vista Point South and North) and Presidio Park, Palace of Fine Arts and The Exploratorium, Chestnut, Fillmore and Union St. Shopping, Ghiradelli Square/Cannery Shopping/Cable Car and Maritime Museum, Fisherman’s Wharf/Pier 39/Alacatraz. Mind you, these were only drive-by sites. They stopped in certain spots, you could hop off and catch another bus later. The ride across the Bridge–and back–was a little bit nippy on that open top bus, but it was fun. We hopped off in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood and explored the shops there. Bought a couple of T-shirts (the other one’s for my niece) and a bumper sticker from this cool store called Giant Robot.

Yes, reading really is sexy.

And got some hi-top Nikes. Charcoal gray, my favorite color, and they feel like the cotton sweatsuit material.

We then checked out the Wax Museum at Fisherman’s Wharf. Needless to say, it was so unimpressive, I almost forgot to write about it until Babendude mentioned it. LOL. We paid $21 to get in and I told him that if he’d ever seen Madame Tussaud’s, he would’ve been ashamed he ever paid that much to see this one. Halle Berry looked like Kelly Rowlands from Destiny’s Child, J. Lo looked like she got a nose job and I’m not even sure if that was really Beyonce. We took a quick peek at the International Spy Store, but it was nothing like the International Spy Museum in Washington. We ate at a pizzeria near our timeshare for lunch and then hit up Miyabi for dinner. Headed back home on Sunday.

Overall, we had a great time. Our timeshare was spacious and quaint. Everything was so…compact and close together. Loved the condos/flats/whatever you call them. They were so cool and the ones we saw in Haight Ashbury were painted bright colors. We left our rental car in the parking garage of the timeshare and either walked or took the bus. Traffic always seemed a bit crazy in our neighborhood and we were glad that someone else was doing the driving. Glad we gotta chance to get away for the weekend. Oddly enough, I’m glad to get back to the heat. I’m not much for being nippy, although the weather was great.

It’s me and Babendude’s 4 year anniversary today! We made it! Technically, it’s more like 9 yrs; we dated for 6. No wonder why it feels like forever! Just kidding, Babendude.This picture was taken at a friend’s wedding earlier this year and before you ask–because I know you are–I have no idea he’d made this face until I saw it posted on Facebook.

Where I promptly LMAO.

It looks like I’m strangling him or something. LOL. But I’m not. He was just being silly and probably acting up because he doesn’t like getting his picture taken. And our friends tend to take paparazzi-like shots. It gets a little crazy.

Last month, we celebrated my parents’ 45th anniversary. I hope Babendude and I are together that long. And longer.

Saturday was my birthday and we spent THE WHOLE DAY at Wet’n'Wild water park.

From 10am to 6pm.

That’s me in my little $161 tankini. LOL.

I’d wanted to go there last year when it first opened, but never got a chance to. Babendude’s company had done some of the lighting for it and ever since he’d told me it was coming, I’d wanted to go. It used to be called WaterWorld. And it was weak. Real weak. When we went last year, we’d gotten there about 4-430. By 6pm, we were done. The rides were so weak.

Needless to say, I’m glad this place got an overhaul. The rides were frickin’ awesome, even though I went on all of them only once. The later in the day it got, the longer the lines. Around 4-something, I was done. Just hung out in the cabana with my niece while everyone else was still in the wave pool or on rides. It was definitely worth the rental fee.

It wasn’t our intention to stay the whole time, but some guests showed up late, the lines were getting crazy long for the rides…it just happened that way. I’d wanted to get there when it opened so that we could rent a cabana. It had two lounge chairs, two regular chairs, a small table, a ceiling fan, satellite T.V. and food service. Awesome.

It was just a small group of us: me, Babendude, my niece, Crouch, Joe, J.T., and my co-worker Lisa and her husband and daughter. We all just had so much fun. After going home to change, Babendude and I went to Kabuki for dinner. We were both so tired after that, I’m surprised we made it out of the house. LOL.

Birthday gifts:
$200 – Mom and Dad
$25 BN gift card – Friends
16GB black iPod (to replace the 6GB that’s close to full), Betty Boop flip-flops and $25 iTunes gift card – Babendude
Tons of birthday wishes and phone calls from family and friends

Best. Birthday. Ever. You can view the rest of the pics here.

Don’t they make the cutest couple? Our time with him was much too short. We left at 430am. We got to the base about noon. He was supposed to be released between 11am-1pm.

He didn’t get out of there until 330pm.

He told us that they were supposed to be released at 8am, but, well, it’s the military. They’re gonna make you work for your liberty (aka free time). We stayed at a hotel in Oceanside (he couldn’t go too far) and went to the nearby beach. We walked the pier and it was a beautiful sight.

It was a little bit cooler than Phx, in the early 60′s, but we still had a good time.

We had dinner Saturday night, had breakfast the next morning, then went to the mall to kill time.

We had to have Mr. Blue Eyes back to base by 330pm.

That’s Mr. Blue Eyes (on the left) with bunkmate, Starch. They don’t know each other’s first names. They all go by last names here.

We didn’t realize how big the base was until we went through one gate…and then had to pick him up all the way on the other side. It took us at least 20 mins to get to Area 52, where we had to pick him up. It’s ca-ra-zy how big that base is.

“I wonder if anyone has gotten lost out here. And never been found,” I say, as we drive to to the other side. LOL. Seriously. It felt like we were on another highway, driving through the mountains.

And then we passed an airfield filled with helicopters.

Mr. Blue Eyes later told us that if we had stopped to take a picture of that airfield, we would’ve quickly find ourselves surrounded by MP. Good thing we didn’t stop. Seeing as how my Dad is former military, you’ve seen one helicopter, you’ve seen them all. LOL.

Mr. Blue Eyes was very grateful–and thankful (can’t tell you how many times he thanked us. Profusely)–that we came down with my niece. He so needed to be with her, to see her, before he left. She may be 20 yrs old, but I still didn’t feel comfortable letting her drive down there by herself. Besides, it was a great, spontaneous road trip for me and Babendude.

We got a chance to get to know Mr. Blue Eyes better and find out a little bit more about the military life and what it’s like to live on base. Rules, rules, and more rules. LOL. I’m not surprised, though. Before we knew it, it was time for him to get ‘on line’. He’ll be coming home for good around the second week of July, but for the two of them, it’ll seem like another 3 months (boot camp was a killer).

My niece found a great guy, though. I highly approve of him. I liked him before he enlisted, but this experience has definitely changed him. In a good way. He stands straighter and is more confident and I thank God his personality didn’t get stripped in the process. Don’t worry guys. It’ll be over soon.

There’s still time to inspire an at-risk teen to write. Donate a journal

Friday evening, I went to see VALENTINE’S DAY. This reminded me of the movie CRASH, in the way that all the characters in the movie were connected somehow. The best part was that I had the whole theater to myself. Yes. The whole theater. I could’ve run up and down the aisles, screaming my head off. And no one would’ve known. Or heard me. Pretty cool. So, I was impressed by the whole interconnectivity of it all, but they should’ve replaced Taylor Swift with Miley Cyrus.

Seriously. She already has the blonde wig.

Or maybe she should’ve received a few pointers from Miley’s acting coach. I was wholly unimpressed with her acting. It’s like she was trying too hard to be a ditzy, empty-headed blonde because we all know she’s not like that in real life. As the gang from High School Musical 2 sang, “stick to the status quo.” Singing is your “thang”, honeybabydoll. Don’t stray until you’ve got a few more lessons under your belt.

Moving on…..the rest of my weekend was pretty uneventful. Mr. Maul was sick all weekend, though we managed to eat at Ron’s Place on Saturday and do a little shopping afterwards. It was cold and rainy on Sunday and that called for staying in.

Still trying to upload pics from our Orlando vacation. I was going to do a daily breakdown and realized that it was going to take too long. If I had written it ahead of time, I would’ve done it. Now all you’re going to get is a link to my flickr account. So sorry. I’ll let you know when it’s all been uploaded.

So, how was your weekend? Did you watch the Oscars? Who won?

The weather was cold (high 50′s to high 70′s during the day..but only on one day) and rained 3 out of the 7 days we were there. My Dad was able to get us 4-day Base Passes (he’s retired military) to the theme parks (visit one park each day, no same-day park hopping) and Mr. Maul and I paid extra for Universal Studios tickets. We stayed at Summer Bay Resort and needless to say, I wasn’t impressed with the place. Compared to the place we stayed at in Kauai, it was sadly lacking:

~ On the one day we decided to sleep in (Tuesday), we were awakened early by the sound of drilling and hammering. Apparently, they were replacing tile in the condo above us. Thanks for the warning, people.

~ We had to deal with an absurdly loud garbage disposal. Now, I know garbage disposals are loud, but this thing sounded like it was grinding glass every time it was turned on. According to Sonny, resident handyman, that sound is normal. Alll-righty then.

~ Wi-Fi was not free in the rooms. It cost $10 a day to have that privilege. However, it was free 24/7 in the clubhouse. So much for “like-home” accommodations.

~ The pool and the jacuzzi were heated and was not only enjoyed by people, but by ducks as well. We saw the pool guy scooping out duck shit one morning, but received no notification that the pool was being sanitized. Maybe we missed that phone call or people were given a verbal warning before they got out there. I dunno.

~ Housekeeping cleaned your condo only after check-out (in Kauai, they came on Tuesdays). If you wanted the room to be cleaned before then, it was extra. We might’ve had to pay extra for clean sheets and towels, too, I don’t remember. Either way, my parents requested clean sheets and pillowcases (we washed the towels ourselves). When they were dropped off, my parents gave them the dirty sheets and pillowcases. “Oh, you want us to take them?” was the response. Uh, yeah. What the hell are we supposed to do with dirty sheets? Really? C’mon people.

The only good thing about this place was the view. We were on the third floor and our balcony faced the jacuzzi/pool area and the lake beyond. I will be posting a daily travelogue of our trip this week.

School Daze – My community project for my LAS course has been a success. The goal of 200 journals donated has been reached, but the drive will continue until Mar 15th. If you’d like to donate, check out the details here

Click here for Christmas pics. My Dad took more pics so I’ll have to get them from him. Needless to say, it was hard taking pics while unwrapping presents

I hope you all had a fabulous holiday. It was our first Christmas without my sister and B-I-L here, but we got a chance to speak with them. And we’re visiting them for a week at the end of Feb, so I’m very excited. Mr. Maul and I went to my parents house for breakfast and my niece and nephew were already there. It was good to see them. I live closer to my niece than my nephew and I’ve seen him more in the past two months than I’ve seen him all year! He just lives so far away (over an hr), it’s like a road trip to see him. Anyhoo, let me expound on all the goodies I received.

From Mr. Maul – bought me an iPod nano. I love it. For the past few days, I’ve been downloading onesie-twosie songs—from artists like Papa Roach, Coolio, Blur, Michael Buble, Godsmack, Drowning Pool, Disturbed, Faith No More, Course of Nature, and Chris Cornell– as well as downloading certain CD’s from my huge collection. I don’t plan on downloading ALL my music, just the stuff I’ve been listening to lately and stuff I’d like to have on there (like all my Linkin Park and Live CD’s). When I got it, he had already downloaded songs from GLEE. Whoo-hoo! I also downloaded new Creed and plan to download new Gavin DeGraw and 30 Seconds to Mars. Needless to say, it takes longer for whole albums to download. Especially if there’s a lot of songs. One of the many things I love about this little gadget is that I can listen to my favorite radio station while I’m at work…and I can record video. I got some footage of my niece teaching her brother how to tango. LOL. Funny.

From my parents – a trip to Orlando for a week. We’re going to visit my sis. Thank God for timeshare. My parents and nephew are going too and my parents paid for lodging and airfare. The most expensive part! I’m looking forward to the mini-vacay. I’ve never been to Orlando, but it’s been on my list of Places to Visit.

From Elissa – Mr. Maul’s best friend’s wife bought me a lotto ticket, a little bottle of Sea Island Cotton body lotion from Bath and Body Works, a gift card to The Body Shop and a $25 AMC movie card. She took our Halloween pic and somehow put it on the AMC card so it looks like we’re on the big screen. Very cool. We spent nearly all of it when we saw AVATAR in 3D opening weekend.

From my nephew – ROLE MODELS DVD (unrated version), Slinky Jr and a little popcorn cup.

From my niece – Tther than a little container full of baked goodies, I’m not sure yet. She left my gift at home! *rolls eyes*. She remembered Mr. Maul’s gift, but not mine. Go figure.

From Lisa – my coworker got me a sweater to wear at work. It gets cold in my area and I wore my other one so much, I wore a hole in the elbow and had to throw it away. I was bummed.

While we were at my parents house, my niece decided to pull out some old photo albums. It was a walk down memory lane that was highly enjoyable. And entertaining. Thought I might share a few with you all:

I was in high school when I decided to be a Harlequin clown for Halloween one year. Mike, my BFF at the time, wasn’t diggin’ it because he had–still has, I think–a thing about clowns ever since he saw Stephen King‘s IT. LOL

This is me and my sister. I’m the baby. We’re two years and two days apart, in case you were wondering. Not sure when this was taken, but it looked like I was having a grand ol’ time, yeah?

This is my version of the naked-baby-on-a-bearskin-rug picture. LOL. That’s me. Shirtless. Hangin’ out in rollers. When my sister was a senior in high school, we got in a car accident together and totaled the LTD you see in the background there. We used to call it the S.S. Downs. LOL.

This is me, my Dad and my sister. The time frame must’ve been while I was going to ASU. I can tell because I’m wearing my ASU class ring (even though I never graduated from there).

And there you have it. A little peek into the family album. During the weekend we went to see SHERLOCK HOLMES, which, surprisingly, was quite good. Robert Downey, Jr. looked great during the fight scenes and it’s funny how his hair always seemed to have a just-shocked look to it. LOL. We also watched KNOWING and (500) DAYS OF SUMMER. I’d wanted to see KNOWING (with Nicholas Cage) in the movie theater, but never got a chance. It was an interesting take on the end-of-the-world themes.

So, that’s it for me. How was your holiday weekend? What’d you get?

Later that night, Mr. Maul and I went to see a late showing of NINJA ASSASSIN (whomever directed this movie must’ve been a Tarantino disciple) and then yes, we partook in the craziness that was Black Friday at Arizona Mills Mall. Utter. Craziness. He had shoes on hold at the Nike Outlet. He said the line for that store was so far back, he was up against the wall on the opposite side. My line at the Aeropostale store (a new favorite clothing store) wasn’t as bad as all that. But it was utter. Craziness. If I’d known ahead of time that the 50%-70% off sale was going on all weekend long, I never would’ve done it. I picked up a red sparkly sweat suit.

Did I mention that it was utter. Craziness?

What’s even funnier is that we hit the Anthem Outlet Mall the next day. And hit up the Aeropostale out there where I picked up another sweat suit (white with raised lettering and the hoodie zips up) and a yellow, long-sleeved thermal-type undershirt. Thingy. Mr. Maul picked up a T-shirt and a striped polo. Then we went to the Tommy Hilfiger and Polo Ralph Lauren stores where he picked up a couple more shirts.

The rest of the weekend was laundry, laundry and more laundry, cleaning house and catching up on “our” shows. I say “our” shows, because I still have 6 eppies of SMALLVILLE and 4, I think? eppies of HEROES to watch. Mr. Maul doesn’t watch those. And we just found out last week that CHUCK is coming back in January! WHOOOOO-HOOOO! Bet you anything they’re going to air it on Friday nights and then cancel it after this season. *wipes away a tear*

School Daze – Finally turned in the electronic self-eval for my Math Explorations class. Once again, I took the advice of my teacher and wrote what I got out of the class. What I didn’t realize was that I had to do it in 1500 characters or less. Gah! You know where this is going, right? I had many good things to say–about the teacher and the class–but like every good writer, I had to cut and hack and slash and burn off like a festering…well, you get the gist, I’m sure. Since I couldn’t submit the original version, I posted it here.

My final project for my EIS class is due this Sunday and I’m going all out…in the form of a PowerPoint presentation. No one else will see it but my teacher and the others in my class, but she said to get creative. This is about as creative as I can get for an online course. And then I’ll be done! And have to fill out another 1500 character self eval. Oh joy.

That’s it. How was your holiday weekend? Did you do the traditional turkey or non-traditional like Turducken? Have you started Christmas shopping yet?

And in 2005, I “grew” some horns as Darth Maul’s wife. If the Sith are allowed to mate, I imagine she would look something like this: CLICK FOR BIGGER VIEW

Great make-up job, yes? The hubby’s real good at that. For the record, breathing was not an option in that corset. This year, I’m only doing Storm at work. I’ve decided to be something else this year for the actual event (again, you’ll see next week). And it involved buying these sexy heels that I will probably only wear once:

I found these puppies at Hot Topic and had one helluva time trying to get them closed. They didn’t buckle—or snap—because really, that would’ve been too easy. Instead they button. Yes, button. Revolutionary, I know, but I’ve come to discover that only shirts and jeans are allowed to have buttons. Not shoes. I’ll be breaking them in this week, a little at a time, because my feet are already protesting at being crammed inside these babies for hours on end.

At this store called Shiek (I’m really hoping this was spelled wrong on purpose), I picked up a pair of Dereon’s:

Yes, Dereon as in Beyonce’s clothing line. Now, I can wear the shoes with the jeans. LOL. I may want to hurl every time I hear “Single Ladies”, but I like the design of some her jeans. And these are the only pair of shoes from her line that I would wear in public and not feel like a complete and utter dorkus.

School Daze – Working on my research paper this week for my EIS class: The Art of Healing: The Benefits of Art Therapy for Young People. I get to read books like The Freedom Writers Diary by teacher Erin Gruwell as research. By choice, not by requirement. If you’re a writer, you need to see this movie. And read this book. If you’re an aspiring teen writer, or you write for teens, then you really need to see this movie. And then read this book. I had an English teacher like Erin when I was in high school—Mrs. Smith—and she is the very reason I stuck with the writing. Not that I was ever thinking about quitting, but the encouragement was always positive and consistent. The rough draft of my paper is due this Sunday, so wish me luck. I haven’t done a research paper since college.

Writing Movement – I’ve been preparing for NaNoWriMo. Last week, I got two more chapters outlined. Altogether, I now have 6 chapters. At this point, I’m going to stop. On the blogs I’ve been reading lately, there’s been some posts about preparation for this challenge. On one blog I was reading (can’t remember for the life of me which blog it was) about the tips for getting through it. Turning off the editing mechanism won’t be hard for me. I tend to write the first draft all the way through without editing anyway. However, the “no time for getting stuck” part (a.k.a. writer’s block) may trip me up. As I mentioned in last week’s Weekend Wrap-Up, I’m a pantser by nature.

When I have a story in mind, the only thing I have is the title, the names of the characters, and a vague idea of the plot. The story itself emerges as I write. For this challenge, I decided to outline first and I’ve discovered that it’s really, really, hard. And I don’t like it. You have to know how the story is going to play out ahead of time and it was difficult for me to picture that. In regards to the “no time for getting stuck” tip, I’ve decided to stop the outlining process at Chapter 6. I’ve got a good start. I think I’m just going to wing it from that chapter on. If you’re looking for a writing buddy, look me up at DravensMom.

So, how was your weekend?

All he needs is the guitar. For the first time in a long time, Mr. Maul isn’t going to be Darth Maul for Halloween this year. This wig is part of his costume.

You’ll find out next Friday what he decided to do. Hehe.
