Christmas Isn't Over Yet!

This week has been crazy, what with getting ready for 150 delegates to fly into LA next week and the worldwide conference we are having at work. Been working late each night, so last night, I had to hightail it out of the office and get to my second job, cleaning, baking and general party preparing. The hub is throwing an After Christmas Holiday Party. Over the holidays we didn't get to see many friends so he put the whole thing together. Our frosted tree only has to make it one more day (its sagging a bit). He is making most of the appetizers for the shindig so he has been busy as well, but I have to clean house and bake my desserts and try and figure out how to organize the house to fit 20-30 people!! I was dog tired last night and still got up early today. What happened to the days of sleeping in? I long to be the hub and sleep whenever he wants. Anyhow, excitement is buzzing as we get ready to entertain a crowd at our house. This is the first time we have had so many people come over to our little house so we will see how that works out. Hopefully good, so we can have more parties! This is kinda our test run. Hopefully, it stays warm in LA today so people can wander out to our backyard. After tonight, I have some work dinners to go to on Sunday and Monday and then Tues-Thurs is our conference. We are showing our 2009 line up to a million people. It's been crazy at work trying to source all the materials. Sometime this week I need to get ready for our big Disney Vacation. With the convention days tend to be long. Somewhere I need to find time to go get a mani-pedi, go to target and get all those small bottles of things and try and find a bathing suit to fit my large buttocks! The eating good and no working out only got me a few lost pounds. Well, I guess something is better than nothing. So the countdown begins this week for our big trip. Can't wait to get out of here!

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 ...
