A very late Friday post

Bless me bloggers for I have sinned. I did not post on Friday like I was supposed to! Eeep!

For that I will give you a new restaurant review and get a little closer to marking off one of my 101 goals!

On Monday we went to Roka Akor for Micahs bday with Micah's parents Mike and Muriel!

The food was amazing!!!! The service was over the top! And it was just a down right fun atmosphere while still being very classy! We sat at the Robata grill and got to watch all the action.

The menu is comprised of a bunch of small dishes, it is all meant to be shared among your table. It comes out as it is made, so that was very fun, little tastes of stuff but never getting to full on one thing. I NEVER eat sushi, but since this place is on the top 10 list in the U.S. I decided if I was going to eat some this would be the place! And all I can say about the sushi was WOW! I didnt do any of the raw stuff (Im a weenie) but what I did eat I loved! I had the Roka Akor Soft Shell Crab Roll and I tried the Crispy Prawn Roll! All the Tempura was just amazing! The asparagus was so crisp. You also have to try their Shochu! Micah tried the apple, the pineapple and one other one that I cant recall...I tried a sip (I was the driver) They are very smooth and totally delicious!

I highly recomened Roka Akor for any special occassion yu might need to celebrate, ask to sit at the grill! Its fun

I want KEYS!!!!!!!


I've been eyeing them for a while now. And I am pretty in love with the new Keys by Tiffany & Co.
I think I MUST have one! Besides I don't own ANYTHING from Tiffany's and that's just tragic! Might as well take my lady card away :(

Its the Friday post

First things first. As I type this my dad is in Abq, NM being operated on. 2 years ago he had colon cancer. He went through Chemo and surgery and last November was given a clear bill of health. A few weeks ago at a check up some cancer cells popped up. He has colon cancer cells on his right lung. They caught it fast and like I said he is in surgery now. Lots of thoughts and prayers his way that everything goes well and has a speedy recovery!!!

ALSO Ladmo was dropped off at the vet yesterday morning for a routine neutering. The vet called me about an hour later and said he had elevated enzymes in his kidneys. She said it could possibly be a fluke and be just that he was dehydrated (As they cant have food or water after midnight before a surgery) So he has to go back in 2 weeks for more tests. THEN the vet calls back like 20 minutes later and says Ladmo only has one nut...yes you read right, my dog is the one nut wonder! LOL. The right one hasn't dropped yet, so we are just going to wait and see if nature takes it course vs. an extra $200 for them to surgically go in and get it out. So we shall see.

As for this weekend it is pretty busy! Tonight I am going to hit up First Friday with my friend Becca.

Tomorrow I have to work, and then probably just lay low, clean the house.

Sunday I have a baby shower to go to! Woot! Can't wait to see the baby bumps and some of my lovely innerwebz lady friends :)

1.5 goals completed this weekend!

What a great weekend!

Halloween was a lot of fun! We had about 75 trick or treaters, not to bad...only about 5 handfuls of candy left.

Micah and I dressed up as Fred and Wilma
Ang, Ryan, Olivia and Muriel all came over to help pass out candy. We had a good time sitting in the drive way watching all the cute kids.
Ang was a flower, Ryan was a leaf and little Olivia was a Ladybug! To Cute
Sunday I woke up early and reorganized our freezer. Looks good in there. Should have been on my goals, but oh well.

I DID however complete a goal and a half!

#65 was to clip coupons every Sunday for a month! Last week when we went grocery shopping I saved $114 in coupons!! That's HUGE!

Also #42, We had the fireplace inspected and cleaned so we can start burning fires (As soon as it gets "cold" out here!) Its only half a goal completed, because we have to do it next year as well.

I also have half of one of my top seller books read...so I am just plugging right along and getting goals done!

Happy Friday and Happy Halloween!

SOoooo excited for this weekend!

This week was a good week!

Monday M and I had my brother Tallen over for dinner and to discuss some projects we need to get done around the house. I'm excited to get these things moving! Monday night/Tuesday morning Micah left for Vegas at 2 a.m. for a company meeting. Its the first time he has left me since we got married, so needless to say, I didn't get back to sleep after he left :(

Tuesday I met up with Becca after work. She is the craft QUEEN! She helped me pick out fabric for M & I's Halloween costumes! She was going to help me make them...which turned into me cutting the fabric and her sewing them. (My sewing skills are still at the pillow stages)! Becca seriously knocked out TWO Halloween costumes in under 2 hours. I was highly impressed and thankful!

Wednesday Micah came home! It was like we had been separated for months! haha

Thursday I got to go see my friend Nicole and her daughter Mackenzie. Nicole passed on some maternity clothes to me for safe keeping for when its my turn :) I also go to go see Olivia and give her some smooches. Micah and I met up with Muriel and went out to the Capital Grille! Sooooo tasty!

Tonight we get to go to a Halloween party!

Tomorrow I have to work, then race home to pass out candy! My sis, her hubs and Olivia And Muriel and possibly Becca's are all coming over to help pass out candy as they don't get many kids on their streets and its reported that we will get at least 100 on ours!!! After trick or treaters die down we are planning on hitting up our friend Jeremx's yearly Halloween bash.

Sunday, REST! Do some laundry...go to puppy school!
