Bacon and Eggs Nibs Style!

October 24, 2009
With Teddy fast asleep Nibs ventured out for some country style bacon and eggs at S and W Country Diner on West Washington Boulevard in Culver City. The atmosphere was pure country--they even had old Coca-Cola tchotchkes on the walls and wooden farm animals for decorations. Nibs thought the bacon and eggs were good but the hashed browns were only so-so. Sometimes it's just nice to get out of the house for your first meal of the day even if the fare isn't four star.

Checkmate!

October 23, 2009
In exchange for piano lessons Nibs gave Mr. Brown some chess lessons. The game is difficult to learn but Mr. Brown picked it up quickly. Nibs is glad he has someone to play chess with now because Teddy has never bothered to get familiar with the game. That Teddy!

Nibs the Next Mozart?

October 23, 2009
While Teddy was at the mall Nibs was getting piano lessons from his good friend Mr. Brown. Nibs would love to be able to play Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 for Teddy by Christmas. So he's working his paws to the bone! But there are still so many mistake. Grrrr. Good thing Mr. Brown is a patient teacher.

Couples Retreat Not a Treat

October 22, 2009
Teddy's final adventure at the Century City Mall was taking in a movie. Too bad she chose Couples Retreat. Being drawn in by the comedy wizard Vince Vaughn was a mistake. He was not in fine form in this film, which he co-wrote with Jon Favreau (!). Teddy almost walked out TWICE but stuck it out mostly because the tropical locale they shot in was dreamy. The only high point was the shark attack scene. Sharks can brighten up any movie!!! Good thing there are some better-looking movies opening soon, like New Moon, which debuts November 20.

Bejeweled Beauties

October 22, 2009
Teddy didn't leave the Century City Mall yesterday without buying something flashy for her footsies. Banana Republic had these wonderful, bejeweled shoes in gold that fit Teddy just so. Called "Nora" the flats cost only $98 and they go with everything! Teddy hopes Nibs likes them though he tends to not appreciate such showy accessories. Oh well.

Tacone For Teddy

October 21, 2009
The Century City Mall food court experience was too much for Teddy. So many choices, from sushi to steak to seafood to sorbet smoothies! After circling the court for what felt like hours Teddy settled on Tacone, known for their tasty wraps and sweet potato fries. Teddy went with the Spa Wrap which was stuffed with grilled vegetables and Feta cheese. She did not regret it.

Teddy's Ride to the Top!

October 21, 2009
After a long morning of shopping, Teddy took the escalators to the second level of the Century City Mall where the food court and movie theaters are. What will Teddy have for lunch? Will she take in a matinee? Not a bad day for Teddy!
