The Getty and Hollywood....

Well, I was determined to cram some culture into the heads of the boys this weekend and well....that backfired! We decided to go to The Getty and were going to go to the La Brea Tar Pits. We made it to The Getty and only stayed for about an hour. I enjoyed looking at some of the artwork, but all I kept hearing is "I'm bored" and "I'm hungry" and Bret was not all too impressed with the art himself, so we left. We drove through Bel Aire and Beverly Hills on the way to LA and Hollywood. I think it is funny that people pay to go on those chopped up vans to see the fronts of celebrity homes. Like do they really think that "The Fresh Prince" is going to be in front of the house doing yardwork? hahahaha







I learned that next time I want to go to the museums, I will not go with the boys so I can actually enjoy the art :o) A couple of funny things about The Getty - Landon reading the sign outloud that said "do not touch the sculptures" while he was sticking his finger in the belly button of one, and being asked (numerous times) "why are the babies in the pictures all fat and why do they all show their wieners"....how am I suppose to answer that?? hahaha Overall it was a good day with the family...even if the boys were bored to death!



We drove by High Voltage Tattoo..better known as LA Ink and was unimpressed to say the least. Just a little store front on the corner of LaBrea and Fountain in the heart of the ghetto..nothing too spectacular. Not that I expected it to be anything on a grand scale, but TV definitely makes it look like more than it really is. Of course, I DID take a few pics...hahaha




Next stop...Hollywood Blvd! There is nothing too much to say about this other than tourists + freaks = great people watching. The tourists are probably more fun to watch than the freak shows that are going on all around you! People REALLY want their photo takes with Spongebob, Superman and Barney...LOL

Last stop..Griffith park...and for one reason, Bret and I both had to pee! LOL


Medical news:
Got the call from UCLA on Friday and the ball has started rolling. They said that they will be sending me a bunch of information in the mail and ordering tests to get started. I have to do an EKG, a breathing test and a bunch of blood work. They are going to have a nurse teach me how to give myself shots since I will have to do them myself to flush my stem cells into my bloodstream. They also said I need a psych evaluation - I am assuming to make sure I can handle this....perhaps I should just give them my blog address and have them decide from there! HA, like I couldn't handle this - pfffttt!! These people are no joke either...I got off the phone with them and within an hour I had the cardio place calling me to set up the EKG..so tomorrow morning we will get that out of the way.

Thats about it for now!
