You guys KNOW I can't stay away for long!
Just had to pop in ZZzzzz and tell you ZZZZzzzzzzzzzz about seeing the new Zzzzzz Indiana Jones Movie ZZZZzzzzzZZZ er something ZZZZ about a crystal skullzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Ok... Too much talking + too little action = ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ BORING!!!!
Clearly the worst in the series. Skip it!
The only thing that excited me were the waterfalls. I'm a passionate fan of Iguazu Falls (even have a photo of them I took from a helicopter in my hallway!)! I recognized Iguazu and I was terribly disappointed they kept referring to them as being in Peru. Why say it's Peru? Because it didn't fit with the lame story? At least the Visual FX crew went to Argentina / Brazil... but after my long nap, I wasn't going to stick around to make sure "my" waterfalls got their proper screen credit!

Meeting Friends - Photo Essay
Since I'm going to be busy for a few weeks, I thought I would put up this photo essay so you guys have something fun to look at.
Hey! Where'd they go??
(They weren't sure if they had permission to come over the levy and ran back to their mom.)
Hey look! Auntie is here too!!!! I love my Auntie!!!
Auntie and Rhodies are HERE!!!
Mabel had to run "tell" me the news!
Wanna play??
Finally the Rhodies jumped the levy and they all had a frolic and investigated a good smell.
Hank was suddenly worried about where his mom was (still high on the levy) and took off around the levy to get to her. The girls played on.
Sue finally realized I was there and had to run over and give me kisses.
A good time was had by all. Isn't doggie love the best?

Meeting Friends
5/19/08
It was a hot, hot morning. We trekked to the creek early in hopes of making the hike bearable in the heat. The sun was taking her morning curtain call.
Miss Mabel was mighty hot and was grateful for a tiny patch of water.
Mabel suddenly ran to the top of the levy.
Hey! Who's that?
Our friends Sue & Hank popped up over the levy wall. Sue loves to do circus tricks!

My House Is Spotless
My house is amazingly clean, there is food in my fridge and I'm chewing a hole in my tongue (a nervous habit).
It can only mean ONE thing.
My mother's arrival is imminent.

Consider Me Impressed
Saturday found my dining experience entirely in the hands of young men. It started out at Kat's house as her sweet daughter got ready for her last ever high school prom. Six couples rented a limo and were meeting at one of the boy's houses in the hills of Glendale.
With the holiday weekend, the boy's parents were out of town and his older, college-age brother served as host. Not only was the house ship shape, he had placed out wonderful appetizers: shrimp cocktail, chips and guacamole, sushi and sparkling water. And candles were lit throughout the house!
After an hour of the parental paparazzi posse, shouting at the kids, "This way," "One for my camera," "Over here guys!" the limo arrived and the kids were off.
And Kat and I were off to USC for a dinner with her eldest and his six house mates. On the way, she informed me the boys were cooking. Great. Chips and dip for dinner.
Boy, was I ever surprised!
These boys, ages 19-22, actually cooked! The appetizer was HUGE sea scallops, wrapped in bacon and dredged in brown sugar. They were so good, I wanted to lick the plate! (I restrained myself and used a piece of bread!)
They grilled rib eyes and made two delicious salads. One was various oak style lettuces with goat cheese, walnuts and cranberries served with a fresh (homemade) basil vinaigrette. The other featured romaine and curly endive, tomatoes, & feta with a different homemade vinaigrette. The meal was rounded out with sour dough and rye and plate of Turkish cheese, and store bought desserts: turtle cheesecake and red velvet cake.
The only frustrating thing in the whole evening was trying to find a non-alcoholic beverage. It's not that I don't drink... I just don't like the way it makes me feel: tired and sleepy during the party; wide awake once I'm ready for bed!
When I made a comment, the other mother there was quick to defend the boys: "They signed a contract with the coach that they wouldn't drink soda!"
I was equally quick to point out, "They also signed a contract that they wouldn't eat junk food, drink alcohol or smoke and I see plenty of that going on. If they're going to break all those rules, why stick to the 'no soda' rule, especially when they are entertaining?"
I guess she must've told the boys because two of them disappeared and shortly afterward, someone placed an ice cold coke in my hands. I was quite surprised later to see the two girlfriends there drinking straight coke (nothing added).
All in all, I was so impressed by all these young men. They were intelligent, funny and engaging aside from all the good food. It was quite a night.

Doggie Slut - Part Deux
Janet's question on yesterday's post about Mabel and all the power / phone outages made me go ahead and post this.
I had to park behind the BofA in Sun Valley while paying my bill. I have always used my security key to unlock my car as soon as I can see it. It's a Mabel game. I like to watch her bob her head, looking for some recognition on every face until she sees me.
As I approached the corner of the building, still not able to see the car, I clicked the doors and as I rounded the corner, I saw a security guard jump back retracting his hand. Mabel's head was out of the car and she stretched further to kiss him. He was embarrassed at being "caught" petting her. She was NOT embarrassed being caught kissing him.
What alarms me is I frequently leave my purse in my car thinking Who would be dumb enough to put their hand in a car with a rottweiler? Well, I found that guy and I'm carrying my purse!
