Today Was A Good Day!

So each year the co-workers try and find new ways to celebrate people's birthdays. Lately, since everyone has come to realize there will be a party on their birthday, the crew has started doing these sneaky surprises that are a few days ahead of your birthday. You never know when you are going to get hit so it makes it hard to take a day off to avoid what is sure to be an embarrassing birthday party. This year I told the crew that I didn't want to have a big ole party and made them promise there would be no big party. Soooooo this morning I get to my office door and there is a hula girl on it. I open the door and to my surprise they had decorated my office like Hawaii. They even flew in two leis from Hawaii and had Hawaiian music playing. I was very touched by the gesture as I have been aching to go to Hawaii. Oddly enough the leis made me feel like I was in Hawaii and for the first time in a long time I was completely relaxed. I sure play Hawaiian music in my office more often! The crew said "see we didn't through you a birthday party." I guess the were right. Loved my office though.



At lunch I went to get my hair cut at the studio salon. I have been going for a while but I don't do it regularly cuz I am generally bad with girl maintenance and stuff. Anyhoo, today I was feeling kinda good and was ready for a change so I told her cut my hair anyway she wanted to. And she did. She took off about 4 inches of hair and I must say gave me a super cute cut. I am pretty sure there is no way I am ever going to be able to style it the way she did (isn't that always the case?) So not only did I have lei' but a new cut to go with them.

Then after the hair cut I had a movie screening to go. All I can say is that there is a really good George Clooney moving coming out. An afternoon of hubba, hubba George....I really do have a cool job! George Clooney seems like he'd be a fun guy to hang out with.

Got home and started baking some cakes for the margarita birthday party I am throwing myself and a bunch of other August Birthday Leo's I know tomorrow night at the house! the hub and I have been making stuff from those recipes you find in magazines and guess what??? We have been eating pretty good lately! This week alone he made an avocado dish and I made the two cakes. Thank you Sunset Magazine, Martha Stewart Living, Coastal Living and Health magazines!!

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 ...
