Happy New Years!



Holy Shit! Can you believe its going to be 2010 tomorrow?? I think my friend Jeff said it best today when he said 2010 is stuff of sci-fi movies. It was only 10 years ago we were preparing for Y2K. I was working at the theatres back then and we were all wondering if all the computers would shut down when it turned midnight? Well, they didn't as we all know.

I don't really do new years resolutions or anything but here are some things I want to try or do more of in 2010:

- get together with friends more which requires more planning on my part
- get really good at Super Mario Bros Wii... meaning get past level 2
- lose my 15 cheeseburger lbs and rediscover Wii Fit (I know everyone wants to lose weight)
- take a fun class with hubby. Maybe Yoga or photography. I really liked Yoga when I was getting fit for my wedding
- read one book a month in honor of Mr. Rumsey
- cook new and exciting things ala Julia Childs and bake more cuz gosh darn it I find it relaxing
- grow more herbs in my garden. I got off to a good start this past year but i need to add more!
- go back to Hawaii for a week and check out New York (I have never been)
- get my backyard movie projector working and have movie nights
- fancy dinner nights with friends (After going to Animal I was inspired to visit other classy joints in town)
- figure out wine because I must not be doing it right

Now let's see how many items I accomplish.

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 ...
