The Green isn't working for me

I decided this green background is yucky! Thought I'd change it up so I'll be playing around with it. :)

What a busy couple of days I've had! My sister flew in Thursday afternoon....my brother Garrett took the boys to the beach that same day and then later that night we all had In and Out. My sister craves it when she comes to California because they don't' have it in NY. Friday I drove out to Palm Desert to get my Grandma and bring her back to my parents. They all left for Yosemite Saturday morning. That drive (to P.D) is long and boring.....but I had my sister with me and we talked the entire time! I even made her go to Collective Journey with me on my way out. I thought she'd crash on their couch, but she was really impressed and liked all the cute decorated projects. I'm thinking about making her a mini-book of her Yosemite trip if I can sneak her camera away and upload her pics!

So I have a crazy story to tell, and it's a long one. On Saturday...the freaking HOTTEST day on earth, Zach started his Little Kicks Soccer. Thank goodness it was indoors. Then we were invited to a birthday party somewhere in L.A. Let me see if I can explain this. My husband's aunt, Bertina, has lived on the same street for 20 years and so have her neighbors Jack & Letty. Well Jack is Jewish and from Israel (as is my husband and his family, but his mom&aunt were born in Romania) and Letty is Hispanic. They weren't ever able to get pregnant and finally had a child 2 years ago, Eran. It was his party. So is this sounding weird so far? I have never met these people, but Ryan has. Any ways, it must be a cultural thing to invite extended family/friends. Could you imagine? So were at this party and Letty has gone all out on the decorations, food, entertainment. It really was a good time. My mother in law went too and she knows all these people. It's like all the Jewish/Romanians know one another, it's weird. (could I possibly say weird any more? hee-hee) So we're sitting there and this lady comes up and she looks a little familiar....can't place her. Then after she walks away Ryan's aunt says she is Shia LaBeouf's mom! OMG!!!! She (the mom) said if he wasn't filming he would have been there too. ( But she never mentioned his name in conversation, it was like everyone knew.) Apparently Jack owned a factory and Ms. LaBeouf worked for him when Shia was a small boy, like 5. Now there's an immediate connection because he's Jewish and from Israel and I believe she is too and I guess Jack is an amazing person and helps her and Shia out financially for years and basically he (Jack) is considered Shia's uncle! SO INTERESTING! I just kept thinking on the drive home, wouldn't that have been something if he was there!

Today we're just trying to stay cool like everyone else in So Cal. Getting some stuff ready for our trip....can't believe it's just 10 days away! Stay cool!
