WOW! I am sitting here laughing to myself a bit, browsing through pics deciding what to get printed. I am coming to realize that the best pictures are of the people. I kind of figured that would be the case. I look at the scenery pics and there are some beautiful ones that bring back great memories and they are the best ones to share because most people don't know the people in the pics. But to me the people pics are the best, they are making me laugh.... I was just looking at pics from the RDCC Christmas party in 2003... remember? At the restaraunt near Covent Garden next to Pacifico? Well the pics are hilarious (although I have already forgotten some people!!! I can't remember some of the names and some people I go oh yeah! I remember them!!) This was the first night I saw Evil Reed.... oh a night to remember...


So the great news is that Jamie got a job!!! YAY! It is even a promotion, he will be a 1st asst on a small budget movie called "Stay Alive". It's such a small budget that they won't have a 2nd asst which is what he normally does. So think good thoughts for him as this is a big deal and a lot of responsibility! Big changes! He leaves Wednesday for New Orleans and will be there for 5 weeks, so poor me!!! Let's hope he gets back in time for the move!!!

23 more days til I see Star Wars!!! I got our tickets for Katherine and me the other day and we are looking forward to it!!

Yesterday we had some excitement looking out my window. A psycho crow (we think it must be the one that left the leg on the ledge) sat on the ledge screaming at us. He was there for a good few minutes and then kept flying around past the window... back and forth.... Katherine called him Satan

6 weeks from today, but who's counting. I keep thinking of all the great things about owning a house that I will try not to take for granted.
* A dishwasher
* Central air
* A hose to wash off our bikes when they get all muddy
* A garage to put them in instead of next to the dining room table! (especially when they are muddy)
* No one living below us so that when the cat races around at 2am, we don't have to worry about waking up the neighbors!
* An outdoor BBQ
* An outdoor anything for that matter!
* A garage to store our crap in
* A place to plant tomatoes
* Best of all, the ability to look at something you don't like about your home and know that you can fix it or change it to be anything you want!!!

We got very good news! The appraisal came back on our house and it is for the amount we are paying. Even though we still feel we are paying a bit too much to live in a 2 bedroom, 950 sf house in Tujunga, it is nice to know that there are other people out there willing to pay the same amount we did!

Today is our 2 month anniversary! WOW time sure does fly!

You will all be very sad to know that the bird leg has disappeared from my window ledge. There is now a half eaten apple and a lot of bird poo. Nothing worth taking a picture of. I will keep you updated in case something worthwhile shows up.

The front of the house. A great feature is the garage being in front of the house, sets the house back so when you are on the front porch you feel a bit of privacy, especially with the big pine tree. 

The front yard. The owner is a big gardener as you can see with all the flowers.
