March Madness..... and Randomness

And I am not talking about basketball. Ever since I got off Jury Duty I have been in a whirl wind. My boss, who I have been with for 5 years, left the company so I have been busy trying to make my way through a "restructuring." I tried to sell the folks on making me a VP but was told they don't want to be "top-heavy." It is also one of our crazy bus times at work as this is the time we are getting ready for our summer blockbusters. And everything is due cuz everything needs to get printed and shipped so it can be up in movie theatres for Easter worldwide. And of course nothing is getting approved causing more overtime but we are not allowed to spend any money because the economy is in the toilet. At one point this week, I was working on 14 movie posters all at once (that is a lot). Then big bosses from London flew in for an emergency filmmaker meeting this past week. And let's just say, that meeting didn't go well and additional work followed. Generally, I have been going to work way early and staying way late. When I am not working I am gathering up a million receipts for the tax man. Even though I pay this man to do my taxes I still have to gather all that crap up and add up receipts. Then the house is a mess and there always seems to be a load of laundry to do. I am not sure how the house gets so dusty all the time? And I am pretty sure I have washed my favorite shirt like 40 times this month. It was my second wedding anniversary this past weekend on the 13th. So I had to research and find some cool gift that would outdo my husband's sure to be cool gift. This is not a complaint but when you have a super awesome husband who is very good at surprises, you want to try and outwit, outlast, outplay him in the coolness department. Trying to outcool your hubby takes time. This weekend we have a friend coming (need to clean the house) and a visit to the tax man (and I still need to finish up those receipts) and another friend in town (need to try and catch up with him). Next weekend we have visitors coming (need to clean the house again). I literally looked on the calendar today and couldn't believe it was the 19th already. March is Mad. What is this basketball thing everyone is commenting about on Facebook?? Should I care if blue is cool or if red is not? Then just when you think life couldn't get any crazier I hear that Natasha Richardson died in a freak skiing accident? I guess my troubles are nothing compared to what her family is going through. Poor lady. This world is mad and so is this month.

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 ...
