Cabgirl in Napa!

Busy! Busy!

After I dropped P off on Sunday, I had a crazy noise in my car. I was very worried.. thinking the worst - i.e. buy a new car, but it turned out that my car only cost $150 to get fixed! Yay! The mechanic dropped me off at the local shopping center where I found this @REI:

it was cheaper than Amazon! I also found a couple of hiking chairs! :)

Yay for my love of camping!

I also just ordered a new Blackberry. I am getting the BB 8520. I currently have the 8320. I got a fab deal - $54.99* with a renewal of my 2-year contract. It was like $129 with a $75 BB trade-in on my 7100t (My FIRST blackberry if that tells you anything!). I will be passing my 8320 to P. He is SO EXCITED as his BB is sooooooooo old! Like a step above the 7100t!

7100t:

Good News!

The winery is giving me 1/2 my money back - which actually pays for the new replacement (gift certificates not included!). It's completely better than nothing! :D

On another note - I made this FABULOUS Trader Joe's dinner. I feel bad for not taking a pic, but OMG - SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!

So I bought a loaf of sourdough bread.. put 4 slices on the grill with margarine and grilled it to get some nice grilling marks.

Trader Joe's Frozen Buffalo Burgers:

Trader Joe's Buffalo Steak Burgers

I had it opened faced and put lettuce, blue cheese and bacon bits on top. I also added the TJ's Romano Caesar dressing - which is the BEST salad dressing EVER!

Get it! It was awesome!!!! Of course, I hope you have a grill!

Best thing I made in FOREVER!

Ugh! They make me look so fat.

I need to print out photos and paste them all over my walls. I seriously need to lose weight.

I have no respect for Rihanna after hearing she got back with Chris Brown.

If you haven't read the "blow-by-blow" (no pun intended), CNN has a great one here. Seriously - that was a pretty descriptive brutal attack. Yikes! I'm glad I never bought any one of her albums. :P

Bryant Lee

Today I received a small note card in the mail and couldn't figure out who the sender was. When I opened it, it read:

C:

Thank you so much for your help!

- Donna & Bryant Lee

It turns out it was for a small donation I made to Bryant Lee - the HS student who was almost beaten to death by 4 fucked up Samoan brothers. If you can help - that would be great! I definitely wasn't expecting a thank you card so that cheered my day up. Heck - I was unemployed when I made the contribution, but jeebus my situation is nothing compared to what this boy went through!

A fund has been established to support the recovery of Bryant Lee, a student at Jesse Bethel High school and a member of the basketball team.  Lee was injured during a recent incident at Bethel High School.

Donations for Bryant can be made at any WestAmerica Bank (account #2102302128) or mailed to Donna Lee (mother) c/0 WestAmerica Bank; 2400 Hillborn Road; Fairfield, CA 94534.

Click here for more info on this story. It's so sad and yet intriguing. I hope the Tili brothers all rot in jail. Their parents must be so proud.

If you use Online Banking, just put Donna's address in and account # and you're good to go! $5, $10 or ANYTHING would be much appreciated! Karma baby...karma.
