November 12, 2009

Not a lot scheduled for today, so I did a lot of task-related work. Answered some emails, organized my desk, went to "the office," ran some errands (did not go to FedEx today, for those following my 12-of-12's), then home for an early dinner.

My 12 of 12 is going up early tonight -- I already finished my 12, and, frankly my evening is not going to be that exciting, so I don't think I'll have anything more to show you!

Waiting for an appointment in my office. They never showed (turns out he had a good reason -- his Blackberry was stolen!).

Instead, I found some busy-work to do, in the form of projects I've had on my to-do list for a while!

Working on the project....

Clouds rolling in over the mountains of Burbank. A lovely fall day (albeit in November).

Here I am at my favorite store, Target. I have a love/hate relationship with Target -- love because I always find everything I need at a good price; hate because I usually buy MORE than I need!!

I got out of Target with basically only the items on my list (pet-related). I only bought one little teeny-tiny extra thing. And I'm not tellin'.....

Another view of our cloudy skies (doesn't this look great??). We transplanted east-coasters love to see a change of sky scenery!

Yes, I know -- fast food sushi is not the way to go. But they make a great little dealio called the "Crazy Boy Roll."

I don't normally frequent this Starbucks (parking is horrible here, and the baristas are equally as bad), but since I was across the way at the sushi place, I couldn't pass it up....

(yes, the barista was horrible. and, boy, does that make a big difference for my drink!)

These tiny little shot-glasses of coffee just kill me.... (I should've taken a photo with a regular-sized cup for comparison.)

But it was tasty, nonetheless!

It's been an interesting trend that I've had an audition on the 12th of the month for several months' now. This month it didn't happen, BUT.... I got an audition for tomorrow!! So does that count?

Yes, I already have my Christmas lights up..... I hire someone to do the work, and got a great cut-rate from the installer if I put them up on November 2nd.

So up they went.

I actually can't wait to turn them on!!

And here's the Crazy Boy Roll ! A lovely combination of fried and sushi. Just delish!

October 12, 2009

Today's 12 of 12 is brought to you by clouds and the threat of rain. We Southern Californians crave rain, and today was the first real taste of it in months (nearly a year). It only teased us, though. However, I'm hearing that we're in for two solid days of "real" rain!

Two themes revealed themselves today: first, I seem to send out a FedEx package on the 12th of every month, and, second, I seem to get auditions on the 12th! I had a busy day on this Columbus Day, and those two items were just part of the adventure.
