I know it has been awhile, but I finally have a moment to catch my breath. So here it goes.

Another Bathroom Remodel Delay

Well, shockingly, this time no one had to back out due to strange injuries to their contractors. Instead, it was merely a simple case to total incompetence.

• Salesperson comes out, quotes $8,000
• Salesperson goes on vacation (extended weekend)
• Cannot contact salesperson, call owner
• Owner gets rude, says salesperson underquoted, says $8,000 is ridiculous, quotes $16,000
• Geez, that was fun

So now, we are set for mid-August with another contractor…hopefully, this one will go well!

LA Trip

Shareena and I headed down to Los Angeles (we stayed in Santa Monica) over the fourth of July weekend for a little getaway and my cousin Vivian’s wedding reception at Cafe Bizou.

Of course, nothing ever goes as planned and I was pretty much sick (I have concluded that it was some bad mushrooms in my ramen that I had for lunch prior to flying down to LA), so I was pretty much not eating more than a few bites and feeling weak all trip.

Nonetheless, Shareena and I managed to mix in family and some time away from the family. In addition to seeing my cousins at Vivian’s wedding reception and other going-ons (like lunch and dinner with family on Sunday), Shareena and I managed to spend some time in Santa Monica and Hollywood (we took my cousins Jack and Angie with us).

For pictures, here is the Santa Monica 2006 gallery.

Some other highlights included Eugene and Natasha’s five month old triplets (pictures will be posted whenever I get them) and a very lovely day at the beach on Monday.

Well, that’s it for now. Tune in next time for my business trip to Boulder and plans for August in Vancouver/Seattle.
