Caroline Elopes!

So another one of my girlfriends (in fact my Maid of Honor in my wedding) is now off the market! Last night, night we celebrated Caroline and Minh's 12.13.14 elopement (in Park City Utah) at the truly fabulous Faith and Flower Restaurant downtown. Our party of 10 included the bride and groom, hubs and I, Amy and Larry, Jon and Danielle, Jung and Toby who came down from Northern California for the night. Faith and Flower was a really nice place, with a 1929's atmosphere and really tasty, if not incredibly expensive food. It was recommended to me by my foodie friend, Rodeline, after giving her some info about our night. After two hours of dinning family style with such dishes as Oxtail Agnolotti, Deviled Jidori Eggs, Ny Steak Tartare, Confeit Duck Leg, Grilled Broccolini, Burrata Pizza, Roasted Mushroom Pizza, Sauteed Blue Lake Green Beans, and Kanpachi Ceviche and partaking in fun drinks like the Harry Winston (think Japanese whiskey on a square block of ice) or English Milk Punch or Lemon & Thyme, we all found ourselves full, except for Regul who was partaking in a hunger strike. After dinner, the gang took some pictures next door with some expensive crystals and took selfies on this fancy couch. I am not sure what exactly the place was but we all just followed Amy who seemed to know what the place was and luckily the security guard watching the crystals didn't yell at us. Later everyone drove back to our house to have some celebratory cake, to partake in a nice 2004 Dom Perignon champaign, and to take shots of McCallan 12-Year old Fine Oak Whiskey (the groom's favorite). The evening was full of laughs, unexpected Wedding Mad Lips voiced by Regul, fun photo signs and split screen karaoke courtesy of Amy with a surprising lack of Journey songs available to sing.

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...
