Only Us


Only happens to us...
  • Who has three bags overweight? We do. And we get fined $25 a bag. Only us.
  • For the first leg of our trip for four hours straight a woman ripped (not cut) coupons out of newspapers. Yes, that's right. Ripped. Chinese newspaper torture. Only us.
  • We arrive in LA to our usual one bag missing. Of course it was Colleen's beloved guitar. Mom stomps away ready to kill. And finds it in the middle of the airport all by itself on the floor. No idea how it got there. Only us.
  • Nicest limo driver with state of the art GPS gets lost in the middle of LA. Yep, that's right. Only us.
  • We arrive at our apartment complex, prepared to check in. Mom goes inside to check in leaving us to guard our luggage outside right next to a massive mosquito nest. Only us.
  • Mom tries to check in and credit card has a seizure because its being flagged for fraud. Yes, that's right, fraud. Only us.
  • Arrived in our room to unpack and Dad being the great guy he is, repacked our clothes, which resulted in two hours of fighting about who's black shirt was who's. Only us.
  • Only saving grace for Mom ... the store sells wine.

  3. Just can not take New Jersey out of a "Jersey Girl"....
    Love keeping track of you all.
    Pop Pop is really getting a laugh at the blog of your adventures. Keep them coming.

    If those producers in Hollywood do not get you both a spot...they need glasses.. Direct them to your Mom Mom.

    Shamus was here for dinner last night and is looking good. Understand that he splits his time on Yale avenue.. Lucky Pooch.

    Pop Pop is still limping and has an appointment with a Ortho Dr. next Friday.

    He will not be walking Disney in November. If. he thinks he is we will lock him in his room...ha! ha! Already know where to rent wheels.

    Wishing you a good day...Love to All.

    Remember you need to give your mom points for adventuring to Hollywood on your behalf.
    Another "Jersey Gal" trying to survice in a foreign country. How is your Spanish?

    Love Mom Mom
