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.

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 ...

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...

Everyone is Having Kids

Yesterday, one of my roommates from the Burbank years gave birth to a little girl. This is her third child. While I am so completely happy for her this happy celebration has gotten me thinking about children and nosey people who ask me when I am going to have them. Some might think this subject is it too personal for blog talk but I figure if people want to bud into my business by asking me about kids then I can bud into yours by talking about them. I realize that I am physically old enough to have kids but being physically old enough isn't enough for me. Today, as I looked at my friend's blog describing her birthing experience, I realized the only reason I am thinking about children so much lately is because so many darn people are asking me about them. Every single friggin day I run into "Patty" at work. I have known her for a very long time and while I know she was super happy for me when I got married, I am so not happy about her enthusiasm about me having bab...
