Big Happenings

Posted by: Maggie

A couple weeks back I tweeted that some big things were about to happen. Well, those things are here and I’m excited to share with you all.

First, was the launching of my photography business website. It launched on Monday and it is gorgeous, all Josh’s handiwork. Check it out if you haven’t already!

Next, I have upgraded cameras! This is a super big deal for me. The new one arrived on Monday and I love it! You’ll hear more about it in tomorrow’s Fabulous Friday post.

And now, we’re on vacation! This is the first vacation we have had in three years. Truly, we haven’t taken a day off together in all that time. So we’re doing it up on a small budget-friendly scale. We’re keeping Eleanor out of school today and tomorrow. Today we’ll hit up the Natural History Museum, tomorrow the Aquarium of the Pacific. Then Saturday is the big, big deal!

Eleanor will be having a sleepover at her Aunt MoMo and Uncle Christian’s house and Josh and I will be heading to Riverside to stay for a night at the historic Mission Inn to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. This is the first night we’ll spend without Eleanor since she was born. It’s going to be awesome!

Then maybe a beach trip on Sunday. Then Eleanor is back to school on Monday and Josh and I will be having a fun day with just the two of us. We haven’t decided what we’ll do, but maybe some Museums or something.

So excited about the next five days! We are going to have so much fun! I’ll be blogging all about it soon!

A Song for Saturday: Los Angeles, I’m Yours

Posted by: Maggie

After last week’s Saturday Song I started thinking about my favorite songs about Los Angeles.  I came up with my very favorite. Here it is for your listening and viewing pleasure, The Decemberists live at the Hollywood Bowl accompanied by the LA Philhamonic, performing Los Angeles, I’m Yours:

p.s. Although this isn’t our video, Josh and I were at that show! And really so was Eleanor, I was 5 months pregnant!

p.p.s. A little Making Me Cranky trivia for you. I doubt anyone has guessed this and I don’t think I ever mentioned this before, but the name of this blog, Making Me Cranky, is in tribute to this song. “But oh, the smell of burnt cocaine, The dolor and decay, It only makes me cranky.”

And while I’m at it, here’s another favorite Decemberists song that I just had to include, as it is apropos to the season:
