Opening the windows and letting out the dust

I have a blog, that's right. Hmmmm. I had forgotten for awhile as well as thought I would partake in the land of health/food/exercise blogging. Um, nope. No deal. I'll stick to reading them to be inspired. It'll kick in eventually.

Now being the spouse of a finally employed (after being laid off almost a year ago) guy, we get to travel since he works in the travel industry. DISCOUNT! I am still not totally getting it since traveling before meant looking up stuff, comparing prices, comparing prices dependent on days, etc. Now it's "Hey let's go to [insert place here.]" I know it will become second nature eventually and while we will be able to travel for less, I'll still budget. While it is possible, you don't only want to survive off of Naked juice and Kashi Crunchy bars.

A group of us went to Hollywood Blvd - aka the best theater - to see Back to the Future last night. It was the 25th anniversary with appearances by Christopher Llyod, Lea Thompson, Claudia Wells and James Tolkan. We ended up not getting autographs since they were $20 each and we hadn't anticipated a cost. I had never went anywhere for autographs but I guess them not free is standard and $20 isn't bad. Oh well. We were still a good 20 feet from them so that was cool. The best part of the event was that 100% of admissions went to The Michael J. Fox Foundation. Seeing a great movie on the big screen was great but being able to help others while doing so, was even greater.

Tonight is L's 30th birthday party but for the most part my day is an exciting mix of catching up on television, laundry, and straightening up a bit. I need to find a new book as well since Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters didn't hold my interest and was returned. I did skim through to the end hoping it would make me start up with it again but alas it didn't. I'll still give Pride and Prejudice and Zombies a chance. I like that original story better.
