Random Thoughts

- Should I get highlights?

- How much do veneers cost?

- I love coconut & almond

- Will I ever scuba dive or sky dive? I've never even dived from the high dive

- When will I get to Spain, Italy and Greece?

- Will I ever be done with my wedding photographer?

Lunch - revisted

Saturday's delish Indian food has become INSANE Monday left overs.

I normally eat my left over Indian curries over shredded or torn lettuce, trying to minimize my carb (even my complex ones) intake.

This tastes even better today than it did on Saturday. I must jot that down in the recipe!

Indian Dinner & a Movie(s)

DSCN0205


This was our Indian curry from our 660 Curries that B and I are eating out way through. Just a few things picked up from the market and we had this, brown rice, a a double feature.

1) Sherlock!



2) The Social Network. Great movie. Only Aaron Sorkin could keep me entertained with rapid fire dialogue at 11 PM and me NOT fall asleep. Two Thumbs Up!

IT was a wonderful night!

Date Day

My therapist insists that the husband and I go on dates each week, so I've really been trying to use the opportunity to see parts of LA that I haven't seen yet.  My job, is to find things that B would like. His, it to find things that I would like.

It was supposed to rain all day, so we decided to go to the California Science Center... I have no idea how long its been here, but this museum is friendly for children... and Petunias. It cost $8 cash to park, and donation only entry into the museum. The Imax theater did have a cost though.

I never did have an easy time learning science from a text book.  Its too abstract.  But science museums are awesome for me.  The demonstrations and exhibits made a lot of things that were hard to grasp, really graspable :)

They have a new exhibit there right now called "Ecosystems."

DSCN0155There were rooms for Decay (which had a tank with a millipede, and even a decaying carcass of an animal complete with flies and maggots. Gross, but educational), Kelp Forest, Islands, Deserts, Rivers, and a few others.

I got to see my first desert tortoise, which was something I was always on the look out for when we went camping at both Joshua Tree NP and Red Rock Canyon SP.  It would have been awesome to see one in the wild, but I was excited to see one alive! They had a cool demonstration on how quickly flash floods happen in the desert.

I even got to touch some sea creatures!

We witnessed feeding time at the big fish tank.

Fish love food and feeding time as much as I do!

Eels are one thing I love being behind glass for... ewwwww!

Amazing school of fish, swimming together in unison!
All the underwater exhibits made me think twice about the possibility of one day, going scuba diving. Many of my close friends do it... but there is something about being at the bottom of the ocean freaks me out. But maybe, to see the opportunity to see stuff like this... maybe, just maybe.

Date Day at the California Science Center was fantastic!  After 2 hours of leisurely navigating the various ecosystems, we made out way back into the real world of Los Angeles and decided to leave the rest of the the museum for another rainy day!
