I meant to answer your question about the wine Patricia but I forgot and I have no idea how to go back an edit this blog....aol was much easier in so many ways. Anyway.....I have no idea what the vineyard was for the wine tastings. I am one of those people that just goes to taste. Some people sit there and jot down notes about the wines and really get into it. I just enjoy the wines. I hardly ever buy a bottle of wine more that $10 or $12, and usually not even that much.

Wow Thursday already
Good Morning. I had a really nice weekend. It seems weired to talk about it now since it have been over for a day.
Sunday I went to see "Revolutionary Road" with Betty for her birthday. We went to lunch first at Wildflower Bread company. I sat outside for a bit while I was waiting for her. It was so beautiful. It has actually gotten a little chilly again the last few days but that day was perfect. Sunny with a cool breeze, my favorite. Anyway, the movie was just OK. I really was not blown away with it at all. It was about two very dysfunctional people who were very unhappy. The acting was very good though.
Monday Chris and I went on a hike at Lookout Mountain. It was either a really tough hike or a was super tired. I did not enjoy it like I usually do. After that I had to go to a private yoga session with Harmony. I was so tired but I think that saved me cause I was not a sore from the hike as I think I would have been. I had book club Monday night. That is always a nice evening. We read "The Road" this month. It is a bleak, dark book but was very good. They are making a movie that should be released soon.
Tuesday I did not wake up til 8:30. It felt good to sleep but I am always so spacey for a while after I get up so late. Anyway, I went to the movies with Layne that afternoon to see "Slumdog Millionaire" . This movie is getting so much acclaim and everyone was saying how wonderful it is I think it ruined it for me a bit. I was not overly impressed with that one too. It was good but I just think I was expecting to be blown away and I was not.
"The Reader" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" were my favorites lately.
I am babysitting tonight. Not much more to say about that. In fact not much more to say about anything.

Monday I went t othe movis and saw "The reader". It was so good. I could not stop thinking about it for hours. I am still thinking about it.
Tuesday Chris and I met Joe and Sara for lunch. We met in Scottsdale at Chili's. It was just nice to sit there and talk to them. I need to make sure that happens more often.
Last night I met Tammy for a wine tasting. It was a nice little wine bar in Scottsdale. They did not pour nearly as heavy as the tasting I went to last week....which was good cause I had to drive home. I bought a bottle to take to Nancy and Steves this weekend. They are having us over for dinner.
Well, that is all for now!

Monday morning
It has been so beautiful here. Just fabulous weather. Yesterday I had the doors open all day. It has been like this all week. It is funny that every year we get weather like this and everyone panics and says "it's too soon to be this warm". It's only January for Gods sake, it's not going to stay this warm we should just enjoy it. February is usually pretty chilly so I predict cooler weather soon.
I babysat a few times this week. Easy and enjoyable way to make that extra money. I will have enough saved soon for my New York trip. I am going in April with Betty. I will stay with my brother and Betty is going to stay in a hotel. She wants to take a train to Connecticut and rent a car so she can see where she grew up. I will stay with my brother Greg for two nights and then Betty and I will take a train to DC together and spend three nights there. That is not til April, it would be nice to go someplace with Chris before that.
It sure was exciting having the Cardinals win yesterday. It will be fun around here the next couple of weeks waiting for them play in the Super Bowl. A good Super Bowl party will be fun this year. I need to find out if anyone is having any. I would like to have one but our TV is way too small no one would want to come here for it. I don't even like football but it makes it fun when you have someone to root for.
Not much going on today. I have a private yoga lesson at 2pm today. I might go to the movies afterward. I want to see Slumdog Millionaire and The Reader! I will see one of those today or tomorrow.
Tomorrow I am meeting Joe and Sara for lunch. That will be nice. I need to go see there new apartment.
Well that's all for now...............more coffee!!!!!!

Hello! I just got back from my wine tasting at Bacchus Wine Studio. It was very nice. I love wine. I ate way too much cheese and bread. So much for no wine during the week.....well I am not drinking it at home.
Ok, that is all I have to say!

Tuesday
It has been a very nice weekend. Saturday night I babysat for Sydney and Brenden. They were very good. All three of us were tired and we pretty much just layed on the couch and watched TV after dinner.
On Sunday I rode the light rail with Chris and Pris. The line starts at 19th ave and Bethany. This is the first phase, the second phase will be heading out to Metro (I think). Anyway, we were not the only People that thought it would be cool to do. It was quite busy and was standing room only all the way to downtown. We headed out to downtown Tempe and walked around and also had lunch at Monte's. It was a pretty good time and I think when not so many people are riding it it will be a good way to travel to Tempe or Downtown. Right now it does not do me alot of good cause I have to drive so far to get on it but someday it will be a really good mode of transportation for people.
Yesterday Chris and I stayed home all morning and cleaned and did laundry. In the afternoon we went to see Grand Torino. I thought it was great. Clint Eastwood was such a good old grouch and the two kids that played the Vietnamese kids next door were very good too. Chris liked it alot also.
Today I finished the laundry. Went grocery shopping and am now making meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Should be good.
I was going to go to the movies by myself but changed my mind. It was such a nice day I did not want to spend any of it in a dark theater.
Nancy and I are going to go to a wine tasting tomorrow night at Bacchus Wine Studio's. I thing that should be a good time. I am babysitting again on Thursday and Saturday and the following Wednesday. I am saving up lots of money right now for New York City in April plus I need to have extra for Chris' birthday next month. He will be 40. I want to get him something nice for this one. I might buy him a Wii because we were talking about getting one and I am sure he would love it if I spent my money on it. I want to have a little party with friends but he really does not hang out with anyone so it would be all my family and friends. Maybe just a nice dinner the two of us. I could try and get Rich and Kirk to do something and there is one guy he works with he likes alot.
I better figure it out cause it is just around the corner.

Saturday
I figured I better get on here and say something or I might lose my large blog audience.
Not much has been happening.
Chris and I went for a nice hike on Monday at Dreamy Draw park. It was really great out. My ears got a little cold but mostly it was warm enough for no jacket. I love that park. There are so many different trails back there you barely know you are in the city til you get a glimpse of the freeway in the distance. My legs had a nice little soreness afterward which always makes me feel good.
Tuesday I had another yoga class with Harmony. I really love doing that. She is such a great teacher plus I love her outlook on life. She is very positive and makes me feel positive when I am around her. I am hoping to have another session this coming week.
Last night on the way home I stopped at Walmart to get cat food and a bunch of other shit I had no plans on purchasing. I got home and realized they did not (I might have left them) put a whole bunch of stuff in my cart. Of course the cat food was in there. I have to go in this morning to get it. Luckily I still have dry food for my little babies to eat. I was not about to drive back there last night. so I will go on my way to work. They told me they have it in customer service.
I have to babysit for my little sweeties tonight. I have not seen them for awhile so it will be nice. I hope they are both in good moods.
This week I have finally started watching the third season of "Weeds" on DVD. Joe gave it to me for my birthday. It's a great show. It is a Showtime program and the seasons are short. I think there were only 15 episodes. Which I managed to watch in 4 days (hey, they are half hour shows!) Now I can't wait til season 4 comes out on DVD. Hopefully it will be soon cause I know they aired all the programs already.
Well that is all for now. I have to do my makeup and get ready for work. One more day and than three days off......I love my weekends!
