You better be startin' something...you gotsta be startin' somethin'!!!

I had been looking forward to date night on Thursday night all month. We were planning on trekking out to Fullerton for dinner and a movie. I wasn't able to go to Polite at the Barn last night because I had to get up early and sub for Kindergarten, and I consoled myself with the knowledge that we'd be whooping it up Thursday at Angelo and Vinci's before an outdoor screening of Ghostbusters at the Fox Theater in Fullerton...but alas, it was not to be, and we'll have to be content with something a little closer to home...perhaps sushi and a movie, then karaoke at the Falconer? Whatever, I'm flexible. I've got a book full of coupons and I'm not afraid to use them! Although, my heart mourns the fact that we aren't going to Angelo and Vinci's...at least a little. That place is one of the coolest restaurants I've ever been to. Anybody who knows me will tell you I have long been obsessed with Buca di Beppo's. There's just something about sharing a huge platter of spaghetti with your honey beneath a poster of Sofia Loren in lingerie that stirs the heartstrings...well, A & V's is like Buca...on crack. While Buca's is renowned for their kitschy decor and family style dining, they are a chain restaurant. Not so with Angelo and Vinci's. This place takes the kitsch factor of Buca's and ramps it up a million notches...they are like the holy grail of kitsch. There are Christmas lights everywhere, every possible surface is covered in pictures, statues, flowers, etc. It's a sight to behold. If you ever have the chance to dine there, it is an unforgetable experience. Someday I will return there...on that you can be sure!

Welcome back!

Well, helloooooo there!!! It's been over two years since I've even looked at this old thing. Blogging just didn't hold the charm it once did when I lived alone, and had no social life. Not that I am so busy leading a jetset life, really, it's all the pizza I have to deliver! Also, it's not so fun to be up in our office in it's present state, but more on that later. It's been on the list of To Do Things in the back of my mind to fix this place up again and guess what! I've refreshed this old forgotten blog...simply because I was inspired by one of Griselda's posts. So my return to the blogosphere can be blamed (or credited) to her! With no further ado...I give you the reason I am here!

Inspired by Griselda and her post of about this, I decided to participate, and I hope you will too!!!

I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange.

I am not quite sure what my gift will be, I am thinking about getting out the beads and bottlecaps and coming up with some fun little things... and you will receive it before the year is over, that is my promise to you.

The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog, this will be like a seed of abundance of creativity that will bloom into many wonderful works of art.

Thanks Gris!!!
