Hey guys, Eric and I are having a super bowl party with ourselves today! We haven't found many people who like to watch football out here. I have also stopped getting offended when people ask me how I can like football if I'm a girl. Trying to explain to people that being from the South means you like football is like talking to a wall. The other problem is that everyone I work with is gay!!
More on that... I went to a pizza and pasta party in Palm Springs last Sunday. A girl I work with was hosting it. I figured it would be fun because the last work party I went to was great! It was at one of the lesbians' house but most people that came were straight. We had a good time, danced, and got really drunk. Well I asked the girl the day before about the party, and she was excited, but was acting weird about me coming. I had the suspicion that most people there would be gay, but a few other people from work were supposed to come. Well I ended up being the only straight person there. Most of the lesbians I work with are in their forties and have been married before, and have kids. There was a guy that came that I thought was straight, plus he was my age, but he turned out to be gay too! He made it a point to ask me if I was gay or straight in front of a few people. I told him I was married and he said, "you still haven't answered my question"!! So needless to say, it was interesting. I don't think I need to go into detail about it. I'm just learning the hard way that Palm Springs is the next gay mecca next to San Francisco!
Eric and I went to see Snatch last Wednesday. It was good! We are closing on our house Wednesday. Not much else to report now... I'm going to enjoy the game with my two favorite guys (Eric and Tiger in case you're wondering). Have a good day!

Happy 2001!
It has been a while, eh? Forgive me if this is a little stilted, I don't remember everything that has gone on in the past weeks! Eric and I went to L.A. last week for three days and stayed at the Beverly Hills Renaissance, which was very nice, but they neglected to tell us that there was construction going on outside. Isn't that always the way? We saw the Beverly Hills hotel and Griffith Park our first day. Our friend Mike met us and showed us around. Griffith Park is in the middle of the city (sort of), and has all kinds of hiking trails plus an observatory. From the top of the hill where the observatory is you can see the Hollywood sign and most of the city. The day we went it had rained and the sun was just peeking through the clouds. So here we are looking at the whole city from a bird's eye view and it is even prettier because the sun's rays are coming through the clouds. I wish I had taken a picture!
That night we ate at Spago's and the food was good, but pricey. The wine was really expensive and the servers were a little snotty. We all enjoyed the foie gras (duck liver) appetizer though. Eric is still talking about it! We got to shake Wolfgang Puck's hand and tell him how good the food was. The boys wimped out and didn't tell him they were chefs, but he didn't really take the time to talk to us either (L.A. attitude!). Mike drove us through the canyons afterward in his sister's Volvo coupe, which is one of the coolest cars I've ever been in! We drove out to the Santa Monica Pier just to see the ocean. (We did a lot of driving, as you can tell.)
The next day we walked down Hollywood Boulevard where all the stars are on the sidewalk. It reminded me of the Quarter because it wasn't even close to what I would call clean. It was a little disappointing. We did see Man's Chinese Theater where people have their hands and feet prints in the cement. What struck me was that there were stars' names from the 1930's that I have never heard of. A lot of the names we didn't know. Just makes you wonder who will be remembered seventy years from now! We went to a costume shop after that where they had the coolest wigs and masks... a good place to go for Monkey Gras! Melrose reminded me a lot of Magazine Street with its funky shops and artsy people. We ate lunch at a 50's diner (Johnny Rockets) and watched people go by.
We went to see my cousin Michael and his fam that night in Orange County. Their house is so nice! Which leads me to the next topic... Eric and I are buying a house! We found a nice little (1400 sq foot) condo in the middle of Palm Desert. It is in a gated community, which I don't like, but I guess it increases the resale value. It has two bedrooms, two baths, and the cutest dining room. The portico leading to it from the foyer has three arches, and the girl living there now is an artist, so she has painted some nice colors there. She's from San Antonio, believe it or not. I think what sold us on it is the pond, though. Eric's parents have a huge pond in their backyard with a waterfall and fish. This pond is much smaller, but I think it reminds him of home. Anyway, the place has a lot of potential, so we could probably sell it for a profit in a few years (we hope).
In news of the weird... there is a strip club on the way to L.A. called the Spearmint Rhino. Just thought that was funny. And there's a service in L.A. called Pink Dot which basically runs errands for you. They'll go get toothpaste for you and bring it to your house if you need it. L.A. is a concrete jungle, I have to say. It is a little unnerving to drive 70 mph in VERY congested traffic, but everyone keeps up. I can understand why people don't like to drive in L.A.! The only reason why the freeways are confusing is because they all have names, like the I-10 isn't the I-10, it's the Santa Monica Freeway or something like that. Otherwise they're no more confusing than Dallas-Fort Worth or Houston freeways. They just have too many drivers!
I don't have much to add... Eric and I have been homebodies lately so we can save up for the house. I CANNOT WAIT to come home. I miss N.O. so much! If we have any more adventures (which I'm sure we will), I'll keep you posted! Take care!

Hi again guys
Here is my update! Friday I took my parents to the date farms here. The Coachella Valley is the biggest producer of dates in the States. Dad and I had date shakes, and they were actually pretty good! Most of it was milk and ice cream. We watched this campy movie about the sex life of a date and laughed about it later. We hung out most of the day at the hotel, then I took them to Mikado for dinner, the Japanese restaurant at the hotel. They do Teppenyaki style cooking, which is basically where you sit around a flattop and they cook your food in front of you. The chef's name was Bobby Love! He flipped shrimp into our mouths and did some other cool stuff. My friend Julie was there and supplied us with some good saki. Mom kept talking about brain damage while Dad and I drank it. It was good!
Satuday I took them to the street fair at College of the Desert. It is like a school fair with booths and people selling stuff, and it happens every weekend. It's actually more like the French Market. They have music, food, and cheap stuff to buy! Then we went to see the dinosaurs in Cabazon. The guy that built them was from Knott's Berry Farm, which is a theme park kind of like Disneyland. Anyway, there's a TRex and a Brontosaurus, which has a gift shop inside it. It was campy too but fun! We went to a Greek restaurant for dinner and stuffed ourselves, plus we got to watch a belly dancer and listen to Greek music. Our big joke is to say esegien every time we go out (it basically means "salud" in Greek). The waiters got a kick out of that!
Alas, we had to take them back to the airport Sunday at 4 am, but it was fun all around. Naomi and I went to Tuscany's for dinner that night, and I finally got my millennium kiss from Eric (he was 15 minutes late last year!). I guess it counts because this is the real millennium. We are going to L.A. on Monday se we will let you know how it is.
OH I ALMOST FORGOT!! ERIC HAS BEEN PUBLISHED!! HE IS IN THE JANUARY ISSUE OF PALM SPRINGS LIFE MAGAZINE. THEY DID AN ARTICLE ON THE RESTAURANT FOR THE DINING GUIDE AND HIS PICTURE AND NAME ARE IN IT!! I AM SO PROUD OF HIM! HE HAS SUCH A CUTE MUG! YOU MUST SEE IT. I'M GETTING AS MANY COPIES AS I CAN. I AM SO EXCITED!!!
We'll, y'all take care and I'll write more about our adventures later!

Hi Guys
Hey, I know I owe a lot you you email, but I wanted to update you on what is going on. Mom, Dad, and Helen are here for the week and we have been having a good time! Eric and I picked them up from the airport in San Diego on Christmas Day. We got lost on the way home from the airport a few times, especially while looking for a McDonald's, which wasn't open anyway! I took them to Vista Point overlooking the valley at sunset. It was really pretty. We ate here with Naomi because Thomas was working and we didn't burn anything this time!
Tuesday we rode the Tram to the top of Mount San Jacinto. Mom, Eric, and I took one of the desert view trails around the top of the mountain and saw some spectacular views. I started getting dizzy on one of the trails because it is such a sheer drop off. I kept thinking about vertigo, which our tour guide at the Grand Canyon told us happens when you look down and lose your depth perception. I got away from that precipice real quick! Anyway, the Tram rotates 360 degrees on the way up and down, which if it doesn't make you sick, is really fun! We went out to dinner at Wally's Desert Turtle, which was owned by a guy who had a chain called the Velvet Turtle. I really didn't want to know what his fascination with turtles was!
Wednesday we went to the Palm Springs Air Museum. My Dad is a nut about war planes, and they had a very nice collection, which they actually fly at least twice a month. Then we went to the Palm Springs Desert Museum, which had this cool exhibit by Duane Hanson. He sculpted live subjects out of fiberglass and acrylic and they looked so real I expected them to start breathing! We went to eat at the Elephant Bar, which has a safari motif, and has these cool elephant ear shaped fans above the bar that swish back and forth. I wish I had a pic of them!
Anyway, today I took them to the Living Desert, which I think I've talked about already. It's a wildlife and botanical park. We went to see the animals mostly, and actually got to see the cheetah this time! I found out that the Disney illustrators came to the Living Desert to sketch the meerkats and warthogs, then drew Timon and Pumba from them for the Lion King! Pretty cool, eh? We went to Eric's restaurant and had the most exquisite meal, and to our surprise it was all free! There's a fire pit outside the restaurant where you can warm your toes after dinner, if you ever decide to go. It was so good!
Well, I will write more about my adventures with my parents later. I am about to kill both of them but it is also nice to have them here! Helen is staying with me, so at least she gets a break! Hope your holidays are wonderful!

hello again
Hello to all! Last week was really busy. Eric was taking a management class for the Marriott all week and I was at the hospital every day but Tuesday. We did get to have dinner together, though, which was nice. We went to see Proof of Life Friday. It was pretty good.... the shots of Ecuador were beautiful! I can't wait to see Auda and Jared's pics from their honeymoon there! Just wanted to let you all know that Eric and I will be coming home February 22-28. I'll be home the whole time and he will be there about three days, maybe four. Mardi Gras is the 27th this year and I can't wait!
In other news... I went to Vegas this past weekend with Karla and her friend Sarah. It was a blast! It is a desert town, except it's considered high desert (whereas we are in the low desert). The difference is the weather. Vegas is surrounded by four mountain ranges, like we are, but they actually have four seasons. It was cool when we were there and actually rained! They shut down everything for the rain too. The Eiffel Tower at Paris shut down for a drizzle. It's funny what they think rain is, and what it actually is!
Anyway, we went to see the Blue Man show at Luxor the first night. The guys on the Pentium 3 commercial have their own show and it was interesting, but I wouldn't say hilarious like they advertised. The Luxor is the one with the pyramid and the sphinx out front. It is a cool hotel, but the only business I think they get is from the show because no one was gambling there. Afterward we went to see a 3D Imax film starring the Simpsons. It was interesting wearing space goggles for the film!
Monday we took a bus tour to the Grand Canyon. We stopped at Hoover Dam, which is prettier at night. Our guide, Rocky, told us how the first scaler to die there during construction died April 13 and the last died the same day, thirteen years later. What was really freaky was they they were father and son. It was very interesting driving through the mountains in that bus. He kept talking about smacking mirrors with the truckers, which thankfully never happened. We stopped at a Mobil station that sold old Route 66 memorabilia. It was nice, but i wasn't paying $5.99 for a magnet!
Needless to say, that Grand Canyon is beautiful. We went to the South Rim where you can see most of the colors. There is a ranch at the bottom what you can take a mule ride down to. The canyon is six thousand feet deep, and I don't think pictures do it justice. It is something that you have to see. There are trails along the South Rim and most of them have guardrails. Supposedly they lose more people where there are rails than where there are not because they lean over to take pictures and slip. Sarah and I liked going out to where there were no rails because it was a better view. Karla was so funny... she kept flipping out about it and finally left us on one of the trails. I'll scan the picture of me on the edge when I develop them! It was good to see the canyon, but the bus trip was fourteen hours. It was a little tiring.
We stated at the Alladin hotel, which has its own bazaar, sort of. It's really a row of stores made to look that way. There are these little guys who wheel you around in their carts too. Tuesday we went to see Paris, Bellagio, Caesar's Palace, Harrah's, and the Venetian. They weren't doing the gondola rides outside so we didn't go, but the singing was pretty good. Supposedly the best places to gamble are the casinos that are paid for. Harrah's is one of them but I lost my $1.20. Paris is the prettiest inside because it has the smallest casino and the rest is devoted to parisian sights. Bellagio is the prettiest outside because the pools all have blue and green tile at the bottom in these cool designs. We saw a massive statue of David at Caesar's Palace, but I'll spare you the jokes. He does have a nice butt though!
I had to leave Tuesday to go back to work, but I saw the prettiest sunset I have ever seen. You drive through the mountains until about ninety miles from L.A. The desert sunsets are pretty, but this one lasted about an hour and had every color you can imagine. Alas, I was out of film. In news of the weird, I passed an exit for Zzyzx Road. I wonder who named it! And I had to go through an agricultural inspection since i was coming from another state. You can't bring fruit or vegetables into California unless they are inspected! It takes bout four and a half hours to drive from here to Vegas. All in all it was fun. I didn't want to leave!
Other than that, not much else is going on. Work has been hell because people are always really sick around the holidays. But I'm sticking to stress relief measures and doing Ok. I can't wait for my week off when Mom, Dad, and Helen are here! I will write more later... until then Happy Holidays!

Hello, Hello, Hello
Time for a new update! I forgot to tell y'all that we have been having fun. Just kidding. We went to Mikado's (a Japanese restaurant at the hotel) the other night with the manager from Tuscany's. We sat at the sushi bar and the chef got us drunk on saki. There was one that looked like milk. It was all so good!
Sunday we went to Tom and Naomi's and watched the Sixth Sense again. But before we did that Tom cooked and we drank red wine and solved all the problems of the world. I feel like a real adult now! I always couldn't understand how my parents could do that but it is definitely more interesting when we get to talk! That was the first night since we've been here that we were out all night. It was fun!
Thursday night we went to a restaurant called Tommy Bahamas with the manager from Tuscany's (again) and a server from Mikados (we helped set them up). The food was good, but expensive. A few people from my work met us there including my supervisor, who is really nice. She told us we could get the same food at Spago's in L.A. for cheaper. The thing is that here they cater to seasonal residents who have more money. Her fiance is the make-up artist for Mimi on the Drew Carey show. Very interesting! Everyone that came was straight except one, if you're wondering. They boys are leaving for Hawaii soon, and they recruited one of the other travelers that I work with to come with them. Anyway, most of the conversation was about Drew Carey, so I won't bore you with that.
Eric and I went hiking Friday on the Pacific Crest Trail. It runs along the mountain ranges from Canada to Mexico. It's basically like the Appalachian trail on the East Coast. It was nice, but it seems that every time we go hiking it's cloudy. That makes it a little cooler than we would like... oh well! It was fun anyway. I think our next trip will be to L.A. after the holidays. I am going to Vegas with Karla in two weeks! I can't wait!
Other than that, life is boring. Just kidding! I am getting ready for Christmas and my parents and Helen are coming up... planning things to do while they're here. It will be nice to see them. It will also be nice when I finally get to go home again! Well I will write more soon! Take care!
