I've taken a break from dishes to have my second glass of wine (finished the last bit of a bottle of chardonnay, and have now opened a bottle of reisling ( Read more... )

Today I searched our shipping room high and low for a box small enough to mail a little beanie dog back to my friend Beth's four-year-old daughter Anika. They were here for my party this weekend and Anika left it behind, and is beside herself with missing her little pet.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for kids.

My housewarming party was a rousing success!

Save two, everyone I invited showed up (which in and of itself is a mark of success). My best friend Roy showed up a little early for a pre-party and to help me finish setting everything up. Unfortunately most of the guests showed up one after the other, so I was only able to play proper hostess and give ( Read more... )

My friend M called last night to let me know that she was finally able to get us some tickets to the Packer/Buccaneer game when I'm visiting her later this month! Apparently the seats aren't that great, but they're free, which means they are great seats to me. Combine that with my $10 fare (thank you, frequent flier miles!), and I'm saving a ton of ( Read more... )

This has been one of the better weekends in recent memory. Friday night I went to Irish Fest with

I wanted to draw your attention to a Web site put up by my friend B: Artzy1 Images. She's a very talented artist and photographer, and recently decided to start selling some of her art. So if  you're looking for some art to fill your walls, check out her Web site!

 
Tonight I and four of my fellow co-workers checked into the Wingate Hotel in Indianapolis, Ind. We are meeting with our client this week to plan tactics for 2009 (one thing I love about this client is that we start planning for the next year in June of the current year - at previous agencies I’ve worked for, we are sometimes working into June ( Read more... )

If some of you haven't figured it out already, I'm not much of a "girly girl." I hate dressing up, wear makeup only when I have to, and like watching baseball. However, there are a few "girly" things I enjoy, namely chick flicks and chick lit.

So you can imagine my anticipation at seeing "Sex and the City" on the big screen during its opening ( Read more... )

I'm home from trivia! We were not able to participate in all 54 hours, because I was the only dummy who didn't take Monday off of work. :(

We left around 6:30 p.m. and got home close to 9 p.m. When we left our team was in 209th place out of about 500, which isn't too bad considering the core part of our team was three people and their laptops. I'm ( Read more... )

When I visited my friend Maureen in Arizona, we were waxing nostalgic and listening to some of the music we loved in college. She put Concrete Blonde's greatest hits CD in her car's player and we were tooling around town singing along. One of my favories, "Tomorrow Wendy" came on and I mentioned to her that she should make sure this song is played ( Read more... )
