So as you probably know from a couple of weeks ago, I'm OBSESSED with those Caltrans electronic signs that tell how much time it will take to get to a certain point. I really can't go by one now without clocking it. Yesterday was no different. I was in Fullerton Thursday and Friday so I was taking the 5 freeway again - Thursday there was an accident - so that is what was featured on the sign - but yesterday there wasn't anything on the sign on my way to work and I just didn't quite know what to do..3661`2 - those last few characters were Sadie's contribution to the entry... anyway - back to the story - luckily - on the way home there was a sign near Main Street that said it would take 10 minutes to get to the 133. Yeah - if you speed! I made it in 10 minutes - but, again, I had to speed to do it!
So while I was at the Fullerton office, I was using someone's office that was right by the waiting area for the members - and had the pleasure yesterday - all day long - of listening to a particular episode of Huell Howser interview people in Yreka (up near Mount Shasta). The day before was Rick Steve's in Italy - he wasn't as obtrusive - don't get me wrong - I have enjoyed watching Huell Howser in the past - but for 8 hours a day - the same show over and over - glad I'm done with that!
So on my way home yesterday - I stopped at Costco to kill some time before meeting Brandy for dinner at the Spectrum and there were a couple of things that I found fascinating - first off - they had brand new vinyl records for sale - that were copyrighted in 2008! What's up with that? There were a couple of bands - but the only one I could remember was the Beach Boys.
They also had boxed sets of three DVD's for several different actors. The boxed sets for Elizabeth Taylor, Jack Nicholson, Tom Hanks and Johnny Depp were all $19.99 - while the sets for George Clooney, Drew Barrymore, Natalie Portman and Angelina Jolie were only $8.79 - they must not rate as well! Again, fascinating!
But you want to talk about fascinating - check out the Spectrum on a Friday night! The different people and what they were wearing! Some GREAT people watching - just great! We, of course, ate at Wahoo's - our traditional Spectrum fare. We changed things up a bit and sat outside - it just seemed too nice an evening to be inside - had to walk through a group of people having a full on conversation while standing in the middle of the aisle though - what were they thinking? And we are starting to take bets on whether the server will take the little table tent numbers when they drop off the food. We each had our own number on the table and when they brought all our food - they picked one up and left the other one - which they retrieved later - which seems about par for the course!
After dinner we wandered around a bit and did some shopping. That's when I found a skirt on clearance for $6.99 - when I brought it to the front - it rang up for $2.14! What a deal - thought about going back for one in every color! Also saw this cute baby skirt on clearance and just had to show it to B - said to her - look at how cute this is - to which she responded - really cute - then I looked at the tag on it and the tag said - seriously cute! How fun is that. Anyway - we had a lovely evening - as always - and got more than our share of people watching done!
Today I enjoyed the day at the Happiest Place on Earth - but you will have to wait to see pictures and hear about that - must be up early in the morning.

Glad that we are both back on track with the blog entries...how else would we know what was happening with one another? By the way, when do you want to come up here for dinner??
