The Way I See It, It's All About Me

So Long!

2010-08-28T11:45:00.001-07:00

This weekend I am bound and determined to update my blog. You know, the one that hasn't been updated in two years or more. :) Life as I know it has changed drastically, but its all good. :)

The parties are over

2008-08-18T21:12:00.001-07:00

Alexz and I had our belated anniversary celebration and then we had kind of a going away party mixed with his birthday party this weekend. It was fun! Now on to some serious focus on moving and packing and all that extra fun stuff.

I'm at work this week and have watched a little more tv than usual, and I find that I don't really miss it. A and I got rid of our tv almost 2 years ago. Any shows that we're really interested in are online. So we're not totally tv free, but we can watch one show when we want and almost totally commercial free. Who else thinks they could be a tv free family?

Party time

2008-08-14T12:18:00.000-07:00

We are having a party this weekend. Partly just a summer thing, partly a birthday party for Alexz. Just have to get the house together! Having a party and moving at the same time aren't advisable, btw. Speaking of Alexz, he's found my blog. Not that I was hiding it, I wouldn't have made it my homepage! So, Hi Babe.

It's the Moving Month

2008-08-05T06:37:00.000-07:00

Alexz is finished with The Bar, yay!!! Now he's at a loss at what to do with his time. For the past 3 years he's spent most of his time studying for 12 or so hours a day, and suddenly that is all over. Good thing we're moving in a few weeks and he can pack while I'm busy working!!

I'm no longer a virgin

2008-07-29T15:35:00.000-07:00

An earthquake virgin that is. We had our first real earthquake experience today. Dang, but I don't want to do that again! The center wasn't far from our house, so it was pretty long and strong. They called it 'moderate'. I don't want to experience anything stronger!

And Alexz wasn't even here to enjoy, er, experience it with me.

Bar Week

2008-07-28T05:48:00.000-07:00

Alexz is in Oregon this week and preparing to take the Bar tomorrow and Wednesday. I think he deserves a pat on the back. Not only did he make it through law school AND preparing for the bar, he did it all while married to me. I'm not the easiest of wives on a good day.

Congrats babe. I love you and am proud of you.

Monday Musings

2008-07-28T05:33:00.000-07:00

I think this is where I'm going to ramble on about things that strike my fancy over the weekend.

Oh, and I never took the 5 minutes of my life to learn HTML coding so you'll have to deal with the entire links lol

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/07/27/japan.porn/index.html

I applaud this guy and what he had done for the elderly and the world of porn. Then I watched the video interview and it has snippets of his porn videos. And quite honestly, it gave me the heebie jeebies. To each their own I say. And he's just not for me. Ask me in 40 or 50 years though.

I've been home alone this weekend, for the first time ever since being married I think, and it's quite a different experience. I haven't done as much around here as I should have, but I'll remedy that today and tomorrow. I WILL get the storage unit cleaned out and the bathroom clean and nice smelling again, as well as packed up. I don't really need access to all 20 of my deoderants and smelly lotions and bathwash. I'll just have to deal with one or two of each for the next few weeks!

A Game

2008-07-21T21:22:00.001-07:00

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Fun in the Summer

2008-07-14T10:15:00.000-07:00

So far this summer has sped by! Actually, the whole year is speeding by. I can't believe it is mid July already. Alexz and I have been super busy. He's studying for the bar and I'm working and when not working, trying to find a house in Portland, hell, seeing if we can afford a home there as well, and attempting to try to clean and pack our existing abode.

My funny for the day. Alexz woke up telling me he had a strange dream, but the strangest part was my mom, Deb, was there and he asked her how she was doing and she said "Great, I'm just driving a truck now!" and he looked and saw it was a Little Debbie Snack Truck. Bwahahaha. I must say that it would be a very appropriate job for her. She likes driving and she loves Little Debbie snacks, and as it's her name as well.........

I'm procrastinating

2008-06-15T12:19:00.001-07:00

I need to be cleaning and organizing, but I'm not.

Alexz and I went to two movies yesterday. We saw Hulk. It was predictable, but okay. A fun way to spend the afternoon with my love. Later we went to a late showing at the two dollar theater. We'd never been there, so it was an adventure. We saw 88 Minutes with Al Pacino. While the story was good, the acting was pretty awful. Now I know why I'd never heard of it before. All together, two movies at two theaters for two people only cost us 14! Usually it's about 21 dollars for the two of us to see one movie! Yay. I even popped my own popcorn and smuggled it in in my purse to save money. LOL

I guess I'll get going on the cleaning stuff while Alexz is at school and I can blast the radio without listening to him grumble about it.

Graduation pictures

Miss Me?

2008-06-01T15:40:00.001-07:00

I know it's been forever since I updated. I had a pretty busy month of May. We had a very spectacular trip to Vegas. We went straight from Vegas to the airport to pick up Alexz's family who flew in for his graduation. It was a great weekend and I'm so proud of him. ;-) The next week I went back to work in Hawaii. It was a hard work week, let me tell you. I'll post pictures soon of all my adventures.

I've been tagged

May Day

2008-05-03T22:09:00.001-07:00

Last weekend I was at the beach house. Silly me left the power cord to my laptop there so I was kind of without a computer all week. Got it back today, but back at work.

I'm so excited for this next weekend. Sunday, Alexz and I are going to one of our favorite vacation spots, Las Vegas for 4 days, woohoo! After that is his graduation and party. I really can't wait. A huge chapter in our lives will be complete. On to the next exciting chapter!

Oh, helpful hint #404. Turning the washer on usually helps in getting clothes washed.

Law School

2008-04-21T14:49:00.000-07:00

It's rough.

And I'm not a law student.

I am however married to one. Today marks his last week in law school. He does have one final next month, but this is his last week of classes. After three grueling years at school. He'll graduate on the 17th, a Saturday, and the following Monday he will start a Bar Prep Course. You all thought he'd be done, right? WRONG! He'll have his degree, but can't do anything until you are Bar Certified. That won't happen until Septemberish.

It's been a very tough, insightful, roller coaster ride the past three years, and it's only getting more exciting as we move into the future of "Now What" For the past few years we knew exactly what was happening. Study study and more study for him, and work for me. Now we're making a move to Oregon, joining up in a small private practice, and just not knowing what the future holds. It's a bit scary.

Okay, a lot scary.

I took the weekend off

2008-04-21T14:42:00.000-07:00

Alexz and I had some social obligations to attend on Friday and Saturday. They were fun, but tiring. My house is a wreck and here I sit, not doing a darn thing. My car is in the shop getting the air conditioning fixed. I'm hoping they call soon telling me it's done, otherwise we're going to have to scramble around to get me to work tonight. I work an hour away.

For those that don't know me, I guess I'll do a mini intro. I'm Bridget, married to Alexz. I'm a full time nanny in Los Angeles, and he is a full time law student in Orange County. I have a unique work schedule that works for us right now. I live in 7 days at a time, and then off for 7 days so I have some time with Alexz. (There is another nanny when I'm not there)

Amy made me do it

2008-04-18T12:47:00.000-07:00

Amy called this morning, well, okay, it was noon, but I'd just got out of bed, and was very excited about her blog and helping out some friends and family with theirs. I've had blogs in the past, but never kept up with them. I have decided that that is changing. Alexz and I have some big stuff going on in the next few months and this seems like a good way to keep in touch with friends and family.

For now there is one important thing I need to do. Coffee.
