Sometimes I wonder who is reading my blog...if anyone? There's a stats feature here on blogger where I am able to see how many people have viewed my blog and what country they are from. The numbers say that my blog has had a total of 1933 views and readers from various countries have accessed my site. I wonder how these people stumbled across my page and if they actually READ what I write. So if you're reading this, please leave a comment. How did you find my blog? Do you read on a regular basis? :)
Here's my week in review:
Thursday
 |
| On Thursday night Diego, Jessie, and I went to see a play at the Long Beach Playhouse. |
 |
| They have this deal that on the Thursday before a play is supposed to open that you can go to the dress rehearsal for free. Well, you're supposed to give a donation, whatever you can afford. |
 |
| We donated $10 for all three of us. What a deal! And it was a really good play! I had read about this play a couple months ago and was determined to go. It's based on a children's book that I remember reading when I was little. |
 |
| Jessie wanted to get his picture taken with Santa and Mrs. Clauss. haha |
So yeah, the play was really good! It was a small theater and we were right near the stage. I would definitely go back to see other plays. As I mentioned, the dress rehearsal price is donation. Then the Friday before opening night, the tickets are half off. The tickets are normally $25. A couple months ago the play was was "To Kill a Mockingbird" but we didn't go. :( I'm not sure what other plays are coming up.
Here's the website if you want to check it out.
Friday
 |
| The stocking that my client made. How cute! |
 |
| I've been hooked on these holiday pies from McDonald's. I was really hoping they would have pumpkin pies, but I never saw them... :( |
 |
| D and I decided to splurge on Friday night so we ordered pizza from Domino's. It was pretty yummy! :) |
Saturday
On Saturday morning, D helped a guy move some things to make some extra money. Then we headed over to his parents house. Berenice and her hubby have been looking to buy a house and they invited us over to see the one they are interested in.
 |
| I love the windows... |
 |
| The realtor was SUPER late so we were all standing around for over an hour waiting on this guy...It was quite rude! |
 |
| Getting a little impatient... |
 |
| Really cool mailbox! |
 |
| Cute! |
 |
| Love the arched doorway and the front door is pretty cool! |
 |
| Old door and knob <3 |
 |
| Jacob's nephew...what a cutie! |
 |
| The house was built in the early 1900's and there's even little nook specifically built for the telephone. Pretty cool! |
 |
| Bathroom |
The house has a lot of character, but it also needs some work.
 |
| A giant box of plantains that D's dad bought... |
 |
| He showed me how to fry them up. You sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar and viola! |
 |
| Chiles rellenos...peppers stuffed with cheese ( and sometimes meat like chicken) and then roll them in an egg/flour mixture ( i think) and cook....yuuum! |
 |
| D and I walked to the library close to his fam's house. He wanted to check out some books on patents... |
 |
| Larry bought a Christmas tree for the house...That's jessie with a knife getting ready to cute the ropes...creepy pic! haha |
 |
| We rearranged the room in order to put the tree up. D and I switched the desk and cleaned up that area...That corner now looks so much better!!! |
 |
| The guys were watching some boxing match....Later on, D and jessie and leonard joined them...so it was a full house. |
 |
| The tree...ready to be decorated! It smelled so good! I haven't seen a real Christmas tree in a good 20 years! haha We usually use a fake one... |
Sunday
D and I went to church over in Whittier. Afterwards we went to Kohls, the 99 cent store, and stopped by Boston Market before heading over to D's fam's house.
 |
| Some really nice vases that i saw at Kohls..Beautiful! |
 |
| Ornaments we picked out at 99 cent store for the tree... |
 |
| Cute little mini car that was in front of us.. |
 |
| Cell phone tower disguised as a palm tree...haha |
 |
| Tasty pineapple pastries that Rachel and Edgar gave us. Edgar teaches an ESL class and his students often bring him foods from different countries. These are from Tokyo I believe. |
 |
| Getting ready to decorate the tree... |
 |
| First step is to put up the lights... |
 |
| Then add the garlands of beads.. |
 |
| Then the bows... |
 |
| Jacob and Berenice |
 |
| The finished product... |
