    What do you use your garage for?

    We have our two cars, three bikes, two garbage cans, camping grill, shoes, and a panel of cabinets full o'crap in our garage...And it's a horrid tandem garage. I am definitely one who likes to park in the garage vs. outside. I also inherited a propensity for keeping it REALLY clean from my...

    2008 New Year's Resolutions

    I might be a little early in bringing this post back but two questions for you - 1. For those who posted about a year ago, how'd you do on your 2008 resolution? 2. What's on the list for 2009? AND so I don't get accused for asking without answering, I can say that I didn't do too...

    Back yards

    If you're ok with using local parks instead of your own backyard, Oak Creek is a nice little community that wouldn't be too far of a ride either. I believe Oak Creek is located boxed in between Irvine Center Drive and Alton; Sand Canyon and Culver. I think mostly off of Valley Oak...

    Here we go

    While I didn't vote for McCain, my heart did go out to him a little last night. He's a man who has served this country in more ways and over more years than most ever will. I thought his speech came across as sincere and touching. It must be heartbreaking for him - it's obvious that he wanted...

    Just got my Wii Fit

    We just got a wii fit too...Not since the 2nd season of Dancing with the Stars have I loved and hated one single entity. On the one hand, it makes me feel like crap by telling me that my wii age is 50+(I'm 32) and on the other it's so addicting that I just spent almost an hour playing the silly...

    The Yes on 8 guys are at it doing telemarketing

    Not to hijack this thread but today I received a pre-recorded call that <em>thought</em> was going to be a campaign/prop call. It instead turned out to be call touting the BOGO sale at Payless Shoe Source. I found it pretty bizarre and had to hang up quickly.

    Least Favorite Home Characteristics

    I like having our washer and dryer upstairs - no more schlepping the baskets up and down the stairs. Also, since it's steps away from my room, I just bring in the laundry directly from the dryer and can watch tv while putting the laundry away. If it was downstairs or in the garage, I'd likely...

    Long Beach Bike Tour/5k/Marathon/Half Marathon

    Anyone do the Long Beach event this morning? My husband, Sister-in-law, her husband and I did the bike tour for the third time - it was fun! The nice part is that there are a lot of "normal" bikers like me - I was on a comfort bike and saw beach cruisers, mountain bikes, recumbants, all kinds...

    Car wash recommendations in Irvine or neighboring cities?

    We like Checkered flag - it's probably the best we've found in Irvine. They're thorough and relatively quick, considering they do a great job. It seems like there's always a ton of people working there so I've never had to wait very long. We haven't gotten the detailing service though - sorry.

    Where is the good pizza in Irvine ?

    Being the thin crust pizza lovers that we are, our favorites in Irvine are Round Table (but only the one on Alton & Culver), Ray's, and Gina's. If we're going to step outside the beloved city, we like Empanada Man in Lake Forest, Pizza Dude in Mission Viejo and Julio's in Artesia. When in the...

    Earth Hour

    So did anyone go lights out for <a href="http://www9.earthhourus.org/">earth hour</a> in Irvine at 8pm tonight? <a href="http://www9.earthhourus.org/"></a> Apparently it was a significant enough effort that <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/earthhour/">google</a> made mention of it...
