Today's Observation:  I read on the news that at 7:02 p.m. I'd be able to see the Space Shuttle and International Space Station passing through the sky.  I dragged the kids outside but I didn't see them (the shuttle and ISS; I could see my kids).  I am actually grateful for that because I saw the Space Shuttle Columbia on its flight back to Florida in 2003, as it was disintegrating.  That was heartbreaking.  I wish the astronauts a safe return home.  God speed....

Today's Observation:  It happened again.  After running some errands in the morning, I stopped at Entourage to give a friend a check for some work he's done for my office.  Somehow that last little errand lasted a couple of hours because next thing I knew I was drinking a spicy Blood Mary (thanks Erin!) and eating In-n-Out (thanks Buddy!) with the employees.  After the Bloody Mary was gone I fell victim to the "I'll make you a drink" scheme.  The Entourage bartenders are notorious for this trick.  I am NOT complaining though.  Let's just make that clear.  ;)

Today's Observation:  Happy Hour at Red Robin is a great deal!  I have been going to the one at Brea Mall for many, many years and wondered why they didn't have Happy Hour.  Well now they do, and I'm a big fan.

Today's Observation:  I took the kids to Pizza Club, our favorite pizza place in La Habra.  I got free pizza because I was the Facebook Friday winner (from the previous Friday).  When I got there, the owner came over to me and introduced me to several of her family members.  It's the little things in life like this that make people feel special.  Thanks Tammy and Pizza Club!

Today's Observation:  When I was reviewing the bank accounts at work and registering outgoing checks, I noticed a note under one of the check registry fields.  It read something to the effect of "check amount up to one billion dollars".  I'm sorry, did they say billion?  Are there that many billion-dollar checks being written that there's a database entry note about them?  This baffles me.....

Today's Observation:  Having smart children is a blessing, but also somewhat of a curse.  My daughter lost another tooth today and when my mom spilled the beans about it she (my daughter) got really upset.  I was stunned that she didn't want me to know, and pretty hurt that she didn't want to share the occasion with me.  Finally the reason came out.  My daughter told me that she didn't want me to know because she wanted to know if the tooth fairy is real.  She said that if I knew I probably would've put a dollar under her pillow and she'd never know.
