Part deux

The master bedroom....It'll be pretty big without such a giant bed in it.

The master bathroom....you can see the reflection of the walk in closet in the mirror. I chose not to show you all the full view of the bathrooms as we are going to replace the tubs. You can come and experience the new ones!

This is the den/office/guest room. I love the french doors that open/close this room off. We are getting a new desk, small futon/couch for this room and all the non-essential game stuff will go in this room.

So that's it. Of course the pictures don't really do the place justice and I can't wait for you all to see it. We are right next to McDonald's, BK, Safeway, Quiznos, Starbucks, Walgreens and nail salon. This place was meant for me. Oh, and we're only 5 minues from Valley Fair as well. LOVE IT!

Before the masses beat me....

Here is our new kitchen. Tim is most excited about the ice machine in the fridge
Here is the view from our balcony. We can see the hills!
This is the entryway when you walk in the front door. I love the little round ceiling.

So I tried to post more pictures but Blogger is being cranky so I will put them in a separate post.

This place will be ours on March 13th. Countdown is on!

We could live in a mansion in South Dakota

Tim and I are in the process of buying a place. It is very nerve-racking and I have a lot of anxiety. All of you who own can attest to this feeling. I am truly looking forward to actually owning a small piece of this great area and I'm excited that I can do whatever I want with it.
Tim keeps on looking up places for sale in really random places outside of this area saying constructive things like "we could have 6 bedrooms and goats if we lived in (insert random state not on a coast here)...
What he says is true, however, we wouldn't be in the bay area. This has become my home and I couldn't leave it.
The one sad thing about leaving Oakwood is leaving the squirrel army that we have amassed. I am worried that they will become weak and feeble without our nourishing distribution of peanuts already de-shelled for their convenience. I asked Tim today if we could trap a few and bring them with us to the new place. He said the HOA might have a problem with that. I think he is right.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my best friend, my husband!

As promised, the recap

This is our hotel. When we first arrived in Park City, we unpacked quickly and threw on our long underwear. Can I just say that long underwear is the greatest invention for cold weather. We headed down to the box office on the bus and tried to get tickets. Everything was sold out, but someone offered us some tickets to a movie so we took them and then went for lunch. We went to Zoom which is Robert Redford's restaraunt. The food was great and we had a really nice meal. The first film we saw was called The Unforseen. It was about environmental change in Texas.
Here is Bianca and I while snowshoeing on Sunday. We hiked all the way up the side of a mountain and then had a chance to slide down a little way. It was a blast even though we lost a shoe or two in the process. (They were found) Park City is absolutely beautiful and just like a postcard.
Here is a picture of the famous Egyptian theatre on main street. The theatres are all spread out around the town so you have to take the bus in between. Bianca and I were the bus experts after the first day. We certainly saved ourselves some dough by taking the bus instead of taxis!
You can see how deep the snow is here. It was my first time in the snow and I really loved it. (I know, shock and awe. Lisa had fun in the outdoors)

Let it snow!

Hello boys and girls,
I have returned safely from Sundance, cold but happy. =) We had a wonderful time and saw 6 films. I will do a long post with pics as soon as I get them loaded onto the old laptop. I also need to warm up my core temperature. Ha!

Watch out Robert Redford. I am coming for you.

I tried to buy tickets for movies at Sundance today. By the time the website starting working (30 mins past my assigned time) all the shows were sold out. What a shoddy system. I protest. When I see Robert and Paul Newman tootling around town in their hybrid truck or whatever, I will give them a piece of my mind. And also take a picture of them as I am a star stalker/lover. 7 days to Sundance!

Happy New Year

I hope you all had a safe and sound New Year's Eve. My liver is still recovering. I need to take a lot of vitamins this week as I think I did a pretty good job of pickling myself. =)

In other news, things are still up and down at work. I'm not sure what is going to happen but I'm sure it will be okay.

Tim and I took down the Christmas decorations yesterday. The dried out tree is still hanging out in the living room because we haven't thrown it over the balcony yet. I'm afraid to do it at night because we may hit someone walking a dog or something. Hmmm....it really will have to be a day operation.

I'm looking forward to 2007. Tim and I will be buying ourselves a nice cozy place. We'll be married for 2 years. I will have been at my job for 1 year in March. And in 2 weeks I will be off to Sundance with one of my homies. Watch out celebs...I'm coming for you. =)

Party combo Disney

Gorgeous!

Partners for life

Random picture of the snow at Disneyland that Blogger put in the wrong place!

It doesn't get any better than this. The most photogenic people EVER!

The fam in front of the white water rapids at California Adventure.

Sharks Win! Sharks Win!

WOOOOOOOOOOT!

When you wish upon a star

Only 1 more day til Disneyland! Waaaaaaah! This whole week has flown by for me as all I can think of is Disney. My parents are already down in southern Cal and will pick us up tomorrow afternoon. My favorite part of the trip is the fireworks and then at the end they shoot "snow" out of special machines. For fake snow, it sure does get me right in the gut =) I have yet to decorate the apartment so this will be a great start to the Christmas season.

As a side bar, Tim and I now know our price range for our new place...we'll start looking as soon as we are back from Disney. Put your feelers out there people...find us a place! =)

Viva Pinata

Hello boys and girls,
Once again please excuse my absence. The past week has been weird for me. I think that I mentioned in prevous posts that I've been working a lot over the past few weeks. By last Wednesday night, my body was so close to shutting down. I thought a few days of rest would pick me up but by Sunday I didn't really feel any different. On Monday, I was so stressed out that I felt like crying all the time. The smallest things would make me so mad. I still couldn't figure out what was going on with me. Then, Dr. W and I had a long talk on Tuesday and everything became so clear. This has really been a transition time for me both personally and professionally. Professional stuff I won't dwell on here because it is not right to do so. I don't want to end up like Heather B. from dooce. =) In terms of personal stuff, Tim and I are going to buying a place after Christmas and starting our lives again in a new place. It is exciting but scary at the same time. However, I noticed that after I let everything out I had so much more energy and would up cleaning like a mad person last night. I got really organized and feel great.
Tonight Tim is playing Viva Pinata which is a game about pinatas living in a garden, or something like that...=) There is a video game for everything now.
Anyway, I'm off to the bath as it is colder than all get out in the apartment. TTFN.

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope that everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I am planning on sleeping quite a bit the next 3 days to make up for all the lack of sleep from the last 2 weeks. I will emerge occasionally for coffee and slushies (lemon =) and pie and.....more pie.

Dinner

I had a rough day.
I ate chocolate chips for dinner with a glass of milk.
They were good.

Casino Royale

Tim and I just back from the new Bond movie Casino Royale. It was fantastic. I was a little skeptical but I have to say that it was really great. Plus, Daniel Craig is freakin HOT! At first I was kinda like "eh" but then when he came out of the ocean in his little europop tight swimming trunks, I was hooked! =) Double Yum. Anyway, I think this is one of the best Bond movies ever! Get out there and oggle his body girls!

And inside the man, you find his....nucleus.

I am watching Nacho Libre while working as Tim and I both fell asleep the other night when we first got it. I've forgotten how hi-larious this movie is. I usually hate Jack Black but I don't mind him with an accent. =)

Tomorrow we are going to talk at Cisco. I'm very excited about this as the potential for patients is huge. It's good that I am going along because I never get nervous while speaking in pubic so hopefully I can offer some support to the other doc.

Tim and I are having Thanksgiving at our house this year. I ordered my Turkey and pies today from PW market. They have a full turkey ready to pick up and eat along with delicious pies. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving. Dr. W is giving me Friday off so I get a nice 4 day vacay. Then, 2 weeks later.....DISNEYLAND!

I know I promised pictures....they are for sure coming. I just have to transfer them from my camera. =)

Thank you

Just a quick post to say thank you to everyone who made my birthday special. Bee, Sarah, Tim, Cheri, Eric and Chris. Thanks. =) Pictures to follow....

Gears of War

The title of this post is apt as Tim is currently playing the newest Xbox 360 phenom. It is by far the best game for the 360 until Halo 3 next year. Me, I'm a Halo girl myself. I'm getting a sweatshirt made that says Girl Gamer, Your game or mine? on it....geek chic, I know. PS. the best part of Gears of War is the song they use in the commercial on TV. You'll all be hearing soon if you haven't yet.

Today was the first day that the two new girls worked alone. Everything is going well. We saw 52 patients. Dr. Lisa is exhausted....but content.

Only 1 more day of being 26. The baby of the group is growing up =)

Since this week has been hectic, Tim and I had a date tonight at TGI Friday's and talked about all the good memories we had there since we met. We've celebrated so many birthdays there. Tim met his life partner Steve there for the first time. (Tim was drinking a drink with an umbrella in it that freaked out Steve. =) Ha! Anyway, back to the story. Tim was kind enough to get me a massage, facial, manicure and pedicure at Lavande as an early birthday treat. My husband knows me well. (Bianca, "don't get married" is retracted for this period of time =))

Anyway, looking forward to my hot dogs and nachos on Friday. I'm betting on any horse with a name Lemon. All you devotees out there get your horse picks ready. It's almost post time!

God talks through poop

Last night Tim, Bianca and I went to see Running with Scissors. Tim was a good sport and came along with us. He hasn't read any of the books that B or I have, but he came anyway. While I know that RWS won't appeal to most people who are not fans of Augusten, but I'm glad that Ryan Murphy (nip/tuck creator) made it into a movie. It was funny though, as he used music in the movie the same way he does in nip/tuck. There is always music playing that compliments the situation well. Plus, I have a small crush on the actor who played Augusten. Very cute.

I had my weekend nap today. Devotees will remember that I usually nap on Sunday during sports, however, Tim is having a co-worker over tomorrow so I can't very well be drooling on the couch when he is here. Anyhoo, we went to the office this morning and Tim helped me move stuff around to get organized for our new staff. They are starting on Monday. I'm excited.

I'm going to get started cleaning the house now. I've been putting it off for a few days but I gotta bust that vacuum out now. I have half an hour until the Sharks game is on so I'd better get cracking! Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Peace out.

The times they are a'changing

Things are turning over at work. We'll be getting 2 new people soon. I'm nervous but excited. Emphasis on nervous. I know that this will all be for the better in the end. It always is...right?
