Is This Week Over Yet?

Any relaxation gained from our 4-day weekend last week was gone by 8AM on Monday morning. Work was totally crazy this week. One big project after another. With two of my managers out, I got their work too and it was not the week to get extra work. Thought today might be slow but after another 8AM conference call another two huge projects were thrust on me. I thank god for our great support help. Without Maria and Tim I might as well keel over and die.

You might wonder why at 10PM at night I am still on the computer since work was so busy, well, it is because I am entering my address book/contacts on our brand new computer. Brian and I's early Christmas gift to each other. The screen I am currently looking at is giganto and the keyboard is nice and slick with square keys. I can't wait to surf around and see what other cool things this computer has to offer.

Today, I said good-bye to my "swingers" reference aka the chevy cavalier. I donated it to a children's charity called Kars for Kids. Now we are down to two cars again. Still lovin' my Jeep. It's nice to sit high in a vehicle again.

This week I worked on some curtains for our den and dining room. With a roll of tape I was able to see what curtains would look like in the dining room. I found out they looked pretty good so now that I have a handy dandy sewing machine my next house plan is to look for some fabric to make curtains. I had already bought curtains for the den from Ikea but they need to be altered a bit and hemmed. We also need to look into how much central air/heat would be. Since it is getting cold I imagine they are having sales on air conditioning. I hope anyway. I have also been itching to paint the kitchen. I know what colors I want to paint it but there are some old lingering items I would like to fix before tackling that project so I guess we will see on that one. Oh yeah, and I want to rearrange our bedroom. Sush don't tell Brian cuz he thinks its fine but I want to see how the bed would like positioned another way. That room needs some finishing touches. Pictures and other little things like curtains!!

This week and weekend has been dedicated to errands. But the thing on my to-do list I really need to get done is finding a Christmas tree! I hope we can find one. Brian just informed me he took another shift this weekend so I don't want to go out without him. I suppose I should get to Christmas shopping and holiday cards too. Next week is full of vendor parties and the big studio party. I hope all my big projects go away so I can go to them! They should be fun but my main squeeze can't go so that is a bummer.

Well, off to do other stuff around the house. Write to ah all later.

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
