Sanger, CA
The rest of my pics from California are up on Flickr now. I wish I would've taken more of the high school reunion but I was more interested in drinking and dancing. There were only three of us girls that danced ALL night long...we weren't even friends in high school!
Overall, a really fun trip. I wish I had a week to spend with Collin in Playa Del Rey, a week in LA with Kathie, a week in Dana Point with Erica, and a week with the sister in Fresno. Alas, maybe when I retire.
On a side note:
Really does suck about what happened in Le Tour De France today. I was hoping Jan would finally have his chance to win. You'll still be able to find me at The Summit nearly every day of the next few weeks watching though. I'm just not sure who I'll be cheering for...

Driving down the coast from Playa Del Rey to Manhatten Beach with Collin. He lives in Playa Del Rey about 200 ft. from the beach.

Hey Dude
Did anyone grow up watching as much Nickelodeon and TBS as I did?
To this day I still love Saved By the Bell, in fact I watch it every day at 4:00 of FOX. I also sometimes watch Sabrina (the college years) on UPN at 3:30. I love Sabrina because back in the the early '90s Melissa Joan Hart starred in a show on Nickelodeon called Clarissa Explains it All.
Just this weekend I was reminded of another show I loved that ran from 1989-1991. The show is Hey Dude; it was on Nick as well. This show featured a group of teenagers that worked on a dude ranch for the summer. The show starred David Lascher (who was also in Sabrina), Christine Taylor (I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.), and Kelly Brown and Joe Torres (known as Danny Lightfoot) both of the latter were never to be seen on TV or in the movies following Hey Dude (bad career move?? maybe.).
I must also mention, because i just can't help myself, that I love Adventures of Pete and Pete, Salute Your Shorts, and (orginal) Doug and (original) Rugrats.
Oh, and for the little sis I'll give props to Gullah-Gullah Island.
Also, Lisa, I've been trying to link to your Adventures of Pete and Pete post, but blogger's down.

Aggie and Brandy
Apparently my dogs, Aggie and Brandy have taken quite the liking to one another, just not in front of me. Well that's not completely true, because just a week or so ago, right after they got their hair shaved and it was really cold, they cuddled up on top of each other in my lap to get warm. Most of the loving things they do are when I'm not around though.
The new groomer I found is really awesome. He's a totally nice young guy that really, really loves dogs. He runs doggie day care, boards dogs on his land up in Kenmore, had taken in some dogs that he's trying to find homes for, plus does grooming.
One of the things I really like is that he doesn't put the dogs in crates when you leave them there for grooming. He has crates for if they aren't getting along well, or if they just want to go lay down. Well my two adorable little creatures, according to the groomer, crawled into a crate together and slept there all day. How cute is that?
Then, last night, Alex and I were walking the dogs through the park. I had to run to the restroom (it's true, I have no fear of public toilets). Usually the dogs freak out when they can't see me. This time, Alex says that aggie let out a little tiny whimper and brandy ran over and gave her a big kiss. I wish I could've been there.
Later today I'll try to post a pic of them with their new haircuts.
