When it rains in California!

Well what can I say, rain rain go away come back another day!!! Have I bought this from home, I think so, everyone I speak to says it's so unusual to have this much rain over here and a TORNADO! Oh my god what's going on am I cursed or what! I thought it was the air conditioning on Thursday morning and got up and saw this, Tracy couldn't believe it. We had planned to go to the beach but that went for a burton, so instead we went to the movies and watch iron man, it's a must I really enjoyed it and Robert Downery Jnr has still got it!

Oh before the movie we went to Cheesecake Factory for some lunch, we had the nicest meal, I had pasta and Tracy had lemon breaded chicken and mash, it was really good, although the service was not. Then we had cheesecake to go, WOW, I had banana cheesecake, it was absolutely fantastic. They have got to bring that place to Blighty!!!!

Meet the Sturgess kids (and there crazy Aunty Carruth).

Well Tracy and Kimi had a tupperware party at Kimis house. I had to get up at 7am so Tracy could drop me of at Kimis on her way to work, (has she forgotten this is my vacation!). Anyway Kimi and I went to her friend Jenn's house then the 3 of us went to a winery to taste wine. I know I don't drink but you know it wasn't half bad, I don't think I could take wine up permanently though, I'll stick to Pepsi, somebody has to drive when Manny and Me to occasionally go out after all.

We then popped into Costco to get a few nibles for the party, then Jen and Kimi treated me to a lovely lunch which was so kind of them, we had a good old chin wag, they are such lovely people.

We dropped Jenn back off at home and headed back to Kimi's and watch a bit of TV, (I was dropping of, well I mean I had had an early start on my VACATION!) before picking CJ and Maya up from school. They are lovely kids polite and socialable, and CJ just loves to help out all the time. He's just like my little man Jordan very independant, which I think is great for boys to be. Maya is just like my little Lauren, a little Princess, I know they would get on great together, I hope one day they get to meet each other?

So then the tupperware party began. Oh my goodness I have now seen it all, a cake made with a box of cake mix and can of pop, girls you have got to try this at home.

Get a cake mix just plain old sponge will do then add a can of pop, lemonade, sprite anything really and you can use diet. Mix it together in a microwaveable dish, cover then cook in microwave for 9 minutes on high. Take out of microwave and let it stand for at least 15 mins. You will not believe how good it tastes, especially with some cream, this is a definate regular when I get home I can tell you.

I think tupperware is pretty much the same as it is in England, I have just checked out the website but at home you can not order on line, and the prices are almost the same as in the States, you'll be glad to know I didn't buy anything.

So T and I got back home around 11pm, way past my bed time as you know, so I am now officially kanackered, so today I am taking it easy, the weather is looking dodgy again, there is just enough blue in the sky to make a sailor a pair of trousers, but that is being followed by big black clouds again!!! I hope I leave this horrible weather here when I go home I tell you! I guess 3 days out of 21 isn't bad really I mustn't complain.

So guys and gals I'm going to make myself a cup of tea and sit in front of the TV for a bit and just chill out.

Catch you again soon, I hope you are enjoying my blog I'm having great fun doing it. You know you can leave a comment at the bottom for me if you wish, please do!!!!!
