I’m starting a new journal! I pulled the whole “I’m getting something cool for a friend for his birthday so I think I’ll pick up one for me too” thing and now u plan to track some stuff in this bad boy. It’s pretty cool. But there’s no storage for my french fry pen.

Ugh.. the thought of going back to Verizon is a horrible one for me. Their local phone service was ridiculous and eventually forced us to go to Vonage, which has been nice and affordable with not a lot of hassle. But when our Internet provider (cable company called Wave Cable) was absorbed locally by Charter, our connection went south. I don’t know if you know this, but I’m on the internet quite often. *ahem* So Joe don’t play that slow connection/outages game.
So after reading a lot of pretty glowing reviews about FIOS, I’ve decided to give it a shot.
I’ll report back with what I find out after the 22nd! I’m super excited to have 20mb up and down!

Over the past few years we’ve gone out for a dual Birthday dinner with Tim and Shana (the birthdays being mine and Shana’s). We haven’t quite managed to match the one a couple of years back when we went to The Hobbit, but this year we came close. Before we left for dinner we started off with a cocktail and Tim and Shana got me a gift… wait for it… A BACON WALLET! I’m not even going to explain it because you’ll want one and I’m not giving you mine so just deal with it and keep reading.
A little early for both of our birthdays, we went to a place in Brea called “La Vie en Rose” which means “Life In Pink” in French. You guessed it, they serve French cuisine. Correction… awesome French cuisine! They serve a fixed price menu based on the main course you choose, then you can pick an appetizer and a dessert. Monique and I were the meat lovers and both had cuts of beef: filet mignon for me and a black pepper steak for her. Tim and Shana both had the salmon as their main course. The appetizers were great as well… Tim got mussels (and thankfully shared!) and I had spanish ravioli filled with crab meat and drenched in some kinda yummy sauce. We also got a plate of cheeses and I hadn’t heard of any of them before: Etorki, Saint Andre, Morbier, and Saint Agur. I don’t know which was which, but there wasn’t one we didn’t love. Dessert was this huge cart of French pastries that we all got to choose one from. Not a bad choice among them, but my favorite was the raspberry tart that Monique picked. Sounds cliche, but it really took me back to Paris. The whole place did, really. The only thing missing was a slightly less pregnant wife, some coffee, and a big communication barrier.
