Guess who's backkk....

Hello ladies and gents,

I'm back from Edmonton and I'm ready to go! I woke up this morning at 4:30 am and its been non-stop ever since. I arrived in SF to be greeted by hail and snow on my way home. Yes. It was hailing in mountain view and then it started SNOWING in san jose!!! Can you believe it? I was shocked. I thought I brought some of the bad snowy weather back with me! Anyways, I was amazed to see Mount Hamilton along with all the other mountains surrounding San Jose full of snow... and at the lowest elevations in years, 500-1000!!!

My trip was amazing and while I"m glad to be back I think that my Intuit OLB team made tremendous progress. I also had dinner with the Intuit Canada team we are working with. We went to this bad ass steak house and our bill was over $1000. I met the CTO of the Canada office too, his name is Carmen. He just turned 40 and he's already owned 2 Tax companies and has been the CTO at Intuit's Canada and UK office for a few years. WOW! I hope to accomplish half of that in the next 14 years!!! Anyways, dinner was great. I learned so much from this trip. I am so motivated to begin our work on QuickBooks 2007 and I'm even more excited to create a solution for Online Banking for our users.

I didn't have to work today because we are having a reshuffle of cubes at work so today was our day off. I got home and was greeted by the 2 cutest dogs in the world. I played with the dogs... My dad met me for lunch and we went to check out this property in downtown san jose that I'm very interested in buying. The condo is still downtown but it's really nice. The interesting thing about this place is that it is across the street from my first ever apartment downtown, Villa Torino. You can actually see my old apartment from the condo's window. I want this place because I feel like I want to upgrade to something a bit bigger and more modern.

The Park Townsend condominiums are about a year old and they are 100% high teched out. They've got the latest gadgets and home appliances you can think of... perfect for me! The only problem is that it's very expen$ive so I Neil and I have got some thinking to do. I also have to always make sure that any place I buy has atleast 2 bedrooms. Not only for resale value BUT I have got to have a spot for my sister to crash WHENEVER she's in town... or whenever she decides to move back home.. Hee hee...

Given the real estate market in the Bay Area, buying anything here is almost worth it. You have got to buy buy buy when you're young. I'm planning on buying my first $1+million dollar house at age 30. Can I do it? If I make the right moves with real estate investing, I can do it with NO PROBLEM.

alright, I gotta go and get some rest here. I've been on the go with 13 hour days the past week and I need to unwind with my honey tonight. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. I'll hollaback later.

Love love love

THE HAWAII WARRIORS SUCK and I HATE THE TEAM, THE COACH and THE FANS!!

Image
Talk about lucky sons of bitches, if you didn't get a chance to see the Spartan's nearly dominate the Hawaii Rainbow pansies, then you missed one heck of a game. ( picture slideshow courtesy of the SJ Mercury News ) The game began at 5pm and the weather was crap... rain was pouring and the fans were a few... that was until the sun came out and the fans began arriving, reaching to 20,000+ packing the Spartan stadium. ESPN packed the house in the press-box, scouts were hovering around the media stations, trying to find a good seat and stadium workers ran around the stands wiping down seats so people's rears could remain dry. The Hawaii Rainbow Pansies were the talk of football and everyone was expecting SJSU to lose and to lose big. The spread for the game had Hawaii favored by 20+ points. Since this was the only Division 1 football game to be aired on Friday night, everyone on ESPN was ranting about hawaii and their lame ass QB Brennan. Football Analysts were sure that San...

thug night...pack up your eggs baby!

Image
I updated this story.. so if you read it. Reread it. I missed some very important points. ******************************************************************************** What seemed like a normal Tuesday night .. turned out to be quite interesting. First off, I got home lastnight from work before Neil. I was working from home when Neil got home and said let's take the dogs for a walk and grab coffe and go to the grocery store.. Good Ole Zanatto's. We got the dogs dressed and heade d out. After grabbing coffee and groceries, we start heading back home. The walk home is about 3 blocks but we pass many bars and many thugs on our route home. lastnights thug count was out of control. We were walking towards blockbuster/farenheight on San Fernando when we walk past a group of teenagers... about 10 of them. They seemed nice... One of the boys calls Rocco over. Keep in mind i have 2 dogs on leashes with one hand and I'm juggling 2 coffees in my other hand while Neil is lugging 2 ...

Football Widow 2010

Image
Its Football Friday at the Parry House again. For those that don't know, my hubbie is the defensive coordinator for the Sobrato High School Football Team. They are so far 2-1 (Ugh that loss still hurts) and they are ready to play again tonight against Independence High school in San Jose. Here's their entire upcoming schedule The game should be good and if the boys come out to play, they should get the BIG W! Let's go BullDogs! A common terminology used by woman married to men that coach football is that during football season you are a football widow. It is NO JOKE. I thought that football was time consuming when Neil played back at SJSU but NOW, its CRAZY!! Coaching is a very time consuming job, especially if you are super into it like my husband is. Practice M-F afternoon/evening, games friday nights and football planning half the day on a SUNDAY!! With 2 boys at home with me, its super hard because Neil is so tied up with football!! I love love love football season ...
