Busy Week

Last week was one hectic week!! About 150 people flew in from around the world to attend our 2010 conference. Our little group was busy trying to get filmmakers to let us show early footage from their films. It was rough but we were able to see a ton of footage and a lot of directors were able to show up and introduce their materials. In addition to watching footage and attending seminars like "how to prevent piracy" and "assets in the digital age" we did a lot of eating. It started last Sunday night at a Brazilian restaurant and ended on Friday at a lunch at the studio dining room. I was one tired lady at 6pm on Friday.

Yesterday, we spent all day preparing our house for a dinner party for 8 people. The hubby made a trip to the butcher's and came home with a $65 piece of meat! Damn, was his Beef Wellington ever good! I think perhaps my hubby and his mother could go into the restaurant business if they wanted to. All of our guests raved over the food. It's pretty fun getting to use the china and the pretty napkins that were given to us for our wedding. Even more fun to spend time with people you don't normally see. Throw in some fancy champaign from France and some yummy desserts you have a pretty good evening. Even Moses had a good time. I am pretty sure he has never seen so much food in his life!

We managed to sleep in until about 8AM today. That Moses runs our household. Just finished cleaning up the remainder of the dishes and hubby took Moses for a walk. Now to enjoy the sun that has decided to reappear. We plan to enjoy this beautiful day.

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 ...
