Don Pablos in Eden Prairie

I will say this was a hard little place to find the first time, but we found it. We meet a couple of friends last night, and it was a good place to pick. I asked my normal questions because I am not just going to assume that they are like the location my husband and I go to weekly with Dad. It’s been a few months since we have been able to meet up with our friends and it was nice meeting them there. It was good going out with out dad with us too, the wife and I spoke some, and he and his friend spoke to I wonder if they might of talked about extenze or anything like it. His wife and I talked a little bit about having kids, (laughing) I told her if we had them at the same time they would be friends but my kids will find all the fun bugs to play with if they anything like me.
Dinner was good and our waiter did a great job at getting us what we needed or wanted. I ordered 3 enchilada, 2 tacos plate combo thing, and hubby had his chilli and they had fajitas. Everyone seemed happy with the service and food. I think the biggest problem was finding the place or how to get there because it visible from the high way but not exactly easy to get to

Apple Bees Dinner In Bloomington Mn

admin — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 02:44:20 +0000

Tonight I didn’t feel like making dinner, I am simply not feeling well. This summer has been very bad for allergies. I needed to get some groceries and beverages for the family, so I had to go out. I would have much rather stayed home and slept but that wasn’t going to happen. Well we stopped at the store and picked up the grocery we needed, and because dad wanted a hamburger, I had suggested Apple Bees.
At first the waitress did good and was attentive, but suddenly it was like she dropped the ball somewhere. Here service wasn’t very good. What bugged me most is that when dad and hubby wanted a refill on a cherry limeaide she did not tell us there would be a additional charge. She had forgotten to bring my garlic bread with my dinner, and when she brought it out she only brought one tiny piece which last time I had the same dish I had 2 pieces. I do not know what happened between the first time and the second time where she took the order.
We paid for our bill and lift. We weren’t exactly very happy with the service there tonight but that okay we’ve had worst waitress.

Setting up NetGear N300

admin — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 05:10:21 +0000

Tonight I set up my new router. I am happy to say this time I did not need to call customer service for help. They have improved their set up process which makes me happy. It took me about 5 to 10 minutes to get this done. I wish there was aquick weight loss that would be as easy like setting up NegGear. The hardest part of setting up the wireless internet on my computer after I got it set up is changing the property.
It took me about 15 minutes to finally get to that. Hubby is still working on his dangle thing to get internet connection.
I like the box, it is black which matches everything in the living room.

Demon Souls Video Game

admin — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 18:23:18 +0000

Wow, when it was described as hard I didn’t think it meant horrible controls on the attacks. I will say normally I love these types of games, but I was very disappointed. The controls no matter how you tried to attack a enemy never worked quite the way you thought it would, or should. I normally play a mage, and I choice that, my husband normally plays a fighter and he chose a fighters. My husband is a good gamer, so I know if he struggling with the game as a fighter it not good. Frankly the first part of the video game you get a little bit of a store but after about 15 to 30 minutes you have to fight this big thing and die. Then they put you in the land of souls, and you can regain your physical body after you collect enough soul. Yet you can’t seem to get anything done in the game because no matter what you do it doesn’t work, I’d rather have thebest colon cleanse then play this game again
It was one of the most frustrating things ever for my husband and I. The graphics were not good and there was no storyline. I would not recommend this game. I hated it.

Wallet4

Tonight my husband and I went to the Mall of America, we knew it would rain tonight so the mall was the best option. Hubby been needing a better bag for work and dad been bugging me for a new wallet. We saw a place that took care of both needs and the guy was helpful on finding what I needed for dad. This made my life a little easier. Finding a wallet for dad was worst then finding patio furniture. Hubby found a nice bag with enough pockets and it can fit his laptop when he needs to bring it with him.
The guy was nice enough to give a discount on dad wallet because hubby bought a bag even though we did it as two separate transactions. He was helpful which was nice, I told him what I needed and he listen and found something which worked nicely.

Skechers Shape Up Extended Fitness

admin — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 22:03:58 +0000

I will admit when I first saw them I thought I would hate them. I am a Skecher fan I have been for over 10 years. Well there sales person had me try on a pair and told me to tell him, what I like and dislike about the shape up. He done the same thing to my husband, now it wasn’t push how he asked so it didn’t bug me. The main thing I didn’t like about them is they add height on me and I am already tall enough for a woman. I don’t even wear heels now I know woman who are taller them me and don’t mind it. I used to be picked on by people. I decided I would try them on just to tell him how I did not like them! Well luckily, for the guy I am not someone who lies, so I am going to be honestly. I am very direct. I liked them they felt comfortable but the problem was I couldn’t wear them at work and keep up with my kids who dart from the room. This is a concern, and I don’t want to wear a pair of shoes that are not good for running after them. I told him this, but they were very comfortable and when I had money, I would come back and get a pair for working out. At the time they only had shape ups, we went back two weeks later to see what was being offered.
This is when I found the right pair for me. I tried them on I can run in them but not ideal for long distance running, certain I could run after a kid if I needed too. They are like the most comfortable tennis I have worn. They do not add to much height to where I would feel too tall. I like them they are lightweight so they don’t feel bulky on my foot. I can walk pretty easily and the best thing is hubby paid for my new shoes because he wants to support me in exercising with a friend and help me when him and I walk. My shoes have thin soles and I could feel everything I step on but they worked great for work and church. Now I got two pairs of shoes what’s a girl to do. Well I love my new Shape Up Extended fitness.
Now when I get used to these shoes I might need a radar detectors because I walk fast. Hubby even likes walking know because his Shape up feels so comfortable. These are the perfect walking shoes. Now I will say a word of caution, these shoes are probably not the best for walking on dirt hills, or on uneven ground because the shape of the shoe. I am fine walking in the grass but wouldn’t recommend them on surfaces that might be a little hard to keep balance up.

Can’t escape Don Pablos

Can’t escape Don Pablos
You would think we go often with dad every week, sometimes we decide not to go for the sake of variety. I should see if they have designer ties, because I could be a walking advertisement for them. I do not think my family or I have ever had a bad experiences. Last night one of my friends and I went out to eat dinner there, and it was good. We got in right away probably because I didn’t ask for our normal waitress. I figured dad is not with us so anyone would do, and this way half our night wasn’t going to be wasted waiting to be seated.
I will say I was surprised how quickly we were sat, normally on a Friday Night it takes a lot longer to be seated. I ordered the chicken fajita nachos, my friend order a salad. We both enjoyed our meal. The waitress was good and helpful. I picked Dons because I know I can eat just about whatever I want there.

Wow that was fast

A couple of weeks ago I had to bring my laptop in for repairs. I will say I am glad I bought the extended warranty at Best Buy, this was a wise decision because when my keyboard “e” key came off I was able to get it fix for free, along with the overheating issue a couple of months ago. I was told it was going to take up to 4 weeks for me to receive my laptop back because they had to send it to Toshiba for repairs. I was worried about this because I am going on Vacation on Saturday which was 2 weeks away from the day I brought it in. We are going to northern Minnesota to a cabin since I couldn’t find the perfect Branson vacation packages for the family. Maybe next year it will work out. I told the Geek Squad person that not good because I am going on vacation and my mother board on the desktop is about to die on me. My motherboard died 2 days later. Ouch, well at least hubby had a desktop I could use until my laptop came back, but that wasn’t going to help for our vacation.
On Tuesday, I checked my email, and had a letter from Geek Squad and told me my stuff was ready for pickup. I didn’t believe it, no way, I had to read that wrong! Well I called my local Best Buy and spoke to them and they told me it was ready for me to come and pick it up. This is great I will have my laptop, which works well for traveling and writing on my blogs. My old laptop would work but it would take a long time to use.
Am I happy with the services provided yes, I still can’t believe I am using my laptop.

Comedy Sportz in Minneapolis

admin — Sun, 16 May 2010 20:21:36 +0000

Last night my husband and I went to comedy Sportz in Minneapolis, we live close to it. Well I will say if you do not want to pay for parking, expect to walk a little bit. We parked about maybe a half mile away to find street parking but I do not mind walking. It was a beautiful day for that last night. I will say they kept their promise of being clean enough for your grandma to watch. Well actually I think granny would say a lot worst then any of these people say, I know dad would and dad and her are in the same age group. They kept their comedy clean. I am kind of a prude or something. I have very strong opinions about what is okay and not okay. We walk out of movies when it gets to loose.
It was a fun experience and hopefully hubby and I can go a few more times. Comedy sportz have comedians competing against each other in teams. Last night it was the st. paul team against the mpls teams. I like both teams, a few of their jokes didn’t make me laugh.. I am a very serious person and have no real sense of humor. On a couple of the games they wanted the audience to call out different things, good thing no one called out asset based lenders that would have been hard to work with. The comedians did a good job and where fairly creative. Honestly I think they shouldn’t have had them singing, but that my opinion but even that served it purposed. I found a good precentage of their comedy made me laugh.
This is good entertainment for all ages, I do not see any problem bring a child to this because it was clean. There was no real adult content that I can remember. The prices of the tickets are not to bad they are reasonable depending on the theater its the same price or close to it as a movie ticket. The snack stand had reasonable prices. The tickets could be paid for by credit card. The snack stand did not let things get paid for like that.

More on my Ipod Touch

admin — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 06:03:01 +0000

Wow I can not believe the battery lasted over 10 hours. With the heat in the car the ipod made things a little more manageable . I guess we do not need anyweight loss supplements we probably sweet out a few pounds easily. The great thing about the ipod is the long life of the battery. It charges through the computer easily. It is able to play in the car with accessories and those accessories seem easier to store then the accessory of the older cd players.
The down side of the Ipod is on the maps it gives you highway routes and doesn’t let u ask for a alt route unless I just haven’t figured it out. In Illinois it best to stay off of the toll roads when you can or you spend lots of money. I lived her once and never liked paying tolls.. So the easy of maps are to be desired but I still have lots to learn.
What i like about the ipod are the maps because it can be done in high breed or satillite it finds your location for you or close enough. It has a alarm clock, and plays music a long time. I like that it is very easy to connect to the internet, and that it does not take long at all to do that. So far I have really enjoyed having my ipod and I hope I get many many months of enjoyment from it.
