Happy New Year! Welcome 2009!



Happy New Year Everyone!!! The hub and I partied it up at home this year. Due to his crazy, he never knows when he has to work schedule it made planning anything pretty much impossible. Though we had four cool choices. 1. Go with Susan and Kevin to New Orleans (now this would have been totally cool as I have never been there but would have required at the minimum four days off)) 2. Go to the Katy Perry Concert at Paramount (this required knowing what time time the hub got out of work). 3. Go to the Hinojosa's and party it up with them and the Bosgul's 4. Go to a friend's boyfriend's party in Santa Monica. Again, time problem on the last two. Anyhoo, the hubby did get out of work early after an apparently hectic day at work (everone on the show got fired - so the hub and the editors had to listen to screaming all day). So we stayed at home and raided the liquor cabinet which is once again full thanks to some Christmas presents we received. We had a bunch of fun calling everyone and dressing up in clothes and jewelry we would have worn if we had gone out. Sometimes you just have to play dress up to make staying at home feel glamourous. Anyhoo, on to 2009!!! I don't have any resolutions to post. I always like to think of resolutions as goals so I will be posting those goals in my little black book of "things I want to do in life" book. We will see how many come true. My immediate goal is to lose some weight before going to Disney at the end of the month so I can pig out. How's that for a goal. Lose weigh so I can gain weight? Anyway, going to DisneyWorld and a Disney Cruise is the next big thing I am looking forward too.

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 ...
