Happy Birthday Susie

*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

(Sus had a great time... it was a 5 course meal beginning with
fresh, warm Rosemary Bread and ending with a handsome older man singing to Susie
a very Special Happy Birthday in Italian, followed by a delicious Berry Tiramisu)

Romano's Macaroni Grille

You have to hear this guy sing to Susie, it was
Beautiful!


(Haha... I'm retarded sometimes, even in expensive restaurants...
laughing's most important)

(Susie's B-day Gladiola)

(Amazing!!)

Great time had by ALL!!
(Even though it was just the 2 of us. Hehe)

To wash or not to wash?? That is the QuEstIOn

The Average Rainfall in Phoenix is approximately 8 inches a year. We are 'truly' in the desert.
Well, Monsoon has officially started... and with it so have the rains, winds and lightning (which I eagerly invite, normally).

It's important to tell you that I washed my car on Saturday... it then rained Saturday night. Grrr! So, I went back to the car wash and redeemed my 'Rain check' and had it washed again on Monday. Haha... on my way home, it rained again! ReAlLy?? Hmmm... Oh yes, it's also important for me to tell you that I paid $25 for my wash and light detail and then I gave the nice men a $10 tip; mostly because I felt so bad that they were working so hard in 110+ degree weather.

Hmmm... to wash or not to wash, that is the question?!

(Before the rain)

So here are my calculations:

Basic wash $10 x 365 days per year - 52 Sundays =
$3,130 per year

So, I figure, if it rains everytime I get my car washed, I can make it rain everyday of the week, minus Sundays for only $3,130 per year. Hmmm... now that might be worth it!! haha!!

*Disclaimer: I LOVE washing/detailing my own car... I hate that I don't have a yard :(

DELICIOUS!!

There's no better way to wake up to a 'day off' than a good hearty breakfast!!
On the menu today:
