Not much has been going on in the Akamine Household.... Alicia and I are working, eating, sleeping, working, eating, sleeping, repeat... The other day though Alicia and I went to our friends house in San Jacinto (The Thompsons) and went swimming! It felt so good to take a dip in the cool water since it was at least 100+ degrees out. Jen and Jeremy have two awesome kids, Brayden and Logan. We played all afternoon and then when Jeremy got home we had dinner and just hung out. Time spent with friends over food is just priceless!
Alicia and I had brought a bottle of Cab Sauv and it was very tasty. Thank you Doffo Winery.
[ Side note: Doffo has some of the BEST wine in the valley -
and are conveniently located 6 minutes from our driveway ]
We had a simple dinner, Velveeta shells and cheese, salmon and hearts of palm salad, and barbeque meats. Muy Delicioso!
Have you ever been on Craigslist? Our neighbors are always saying how they got some awesome deal on craigslist, how they got this and that, etc... So the other day Alicia and I were browsing for some furniture and found a pretty awesome antique table! I'll post about it tomorrow with before and after pics. BUT, there is a story to share about our first Craigslist experience! We have been looking for a dog run for quite some time now and we found one that was brand new, never been used, about 30 minutes from our house. I contacted the guy and tried to bargain which I'm not very good at. Good thing is that it's via email so I don't have to be quick on my toes for a response! haha. Anyways, so this gentleman and I finally get talking on the phone and I can tell he's one of those old cheap Asian guys. We decided on a price after some bargaining and then it came time to schedule a pick up. The guy says that he's free all day so I thought that would make things easy. I asked him if 12:00 would work for him and then his response caught me off guard... "How about 10:00?" ...I'm sorry, but my schedule isn't up for compromise let alone bargaining! haha. Anyways, to make a long story short we ended up purchasing the same exact one, brand new, never been used at our local Lowe's for about the same price...
Stay tuned for... Whatever life has in store for us tomorrow! Oh, and the before and after post about our new table!
Happy 4th of July!!
