HOTEL MOTEL

Happy Thursday! The work week is almost over! Let's see, Matt and I went to Los Angeles last weekend. We stayed at the weirdest hotel. It's called Custom Hotel! It looks like they painted over this old brick building, black in color. We walk in and it's very modernized and then in the lobby there are stuffed sheep...kind of weird, but we venture to the elevator; the door opens up and "hello" there is this big brother like face staring at us. There are faces in all the elevators; totally random people; kindof strange, but whatever; we proceed to our floor; it's totally black in the hallways...i started to laugh becuase i think i'm going to get mugged or something and i laugh at things like that...we get to our room and it's nice; small, clean, the bathroom is sortof high school locker room; the bed is very low and i guess the theme is dogs or cross-stitch, not quite sure, but above the fridge is this basket of goodies; i must check out!!! Let's see there were cookies and pretzels..yum! And condoms..ok for some people, ky jelly...a paddle ball, red tube socks....radish seeds (Like you would plant) is there a farm nearby? And Pink duct tape??? What the heck is pink duct tape for??? IF anyone knows the answer to this, please, let me know??? At first i was a little tripped out about the hotel, but seeing other people staying there seemed to relieve my suspicions of S & M things going on....and Matt and I did try to find the video camera somewhere hidden in our room, but to no avail! After we made it through alive the first name basically unharmed we went to their tiny little restaurant; it was incredible; so incredible that we came back that night and had dinner there! Fabulous!!! BTW-I had their dessert of warm cinnamon donuts (which I haven't had in 20 years) with coffee ice cream; TO DIE FOR!!! And they upgraded us the second night to a suite which was even better!!! Apparently this is a "boutique" hotel we stayed at (if that helps anyone) and they are trying to copy some other famous "movie star type" hotels....
All in all we had a great time which is what it's all about, right??? And I have my own roll of duct tape now........... kidding!!!

Smoky!

Is everybody tired of this smoky weather? Poor firefighters! And it's supposed to be 106 in Folsom on Wednesday. Jeez! Okay, enough of my rant. Let's see..we had Ciara's recital and she did amazing. It's really cool to watch her grow and become more of an experienced ballerina. Fourth of July was not to exciting, but we never do much anyway. Ciara was camping (for the first time) with her friend, Madi, Matt was working, so it was just Chayce and I! We went and got a burrito, i picked up a movie and, hold your breath here...ironed for 1 1/2 hours. I hate ironing! It's such a pain, but when I iron, I suddenly realize that I have a lot of clothes (more than I already have)and I can suddenly wear them, because, they are not wrinkled anymore!!! Took the jetski to the lake on Saturday, where it died! Speaking of lakes, Folsom Lake is soooooooo low! How low will it go? I don't know, but it's low enough!!! Anywho.....going away this weekend!!! Woo hoo!!! No kids! Double woo-hoo!!!! Happy July everyone!!!
