A Dear One

Tangerines

The past few days our lovely landlord at the office has been bringing in tangerines from her tree. I must say they are wonderful! The sweetest little tangerines I have ever had. I’ve been averaging about 4 per day and they have completely subdued my sweet tooth. The best part is that I have been…

The Disneyland Annual Pass Strategy

If you are looking to buy an annual pass for Disneyland, I’ve found a method that potentially saves money. So here goes. 1. You don’t buy a pass until you are planning to go to the park anyway. This starts your 365 countdown as late as possible.2. You buy a regular one-day admission ticket to…

New Years 2009

On to another year…they just keep coming, don’t they? I guess that’s better than if they stopped. 2008 was an interesting year: – Started Twittering– Tackled the most projects ever in one year– Ate escargot (not bad at all)– Joined Facebook– Went to Chicago, Napa and Austin– Programmed my first ENTIRE website with web standards–…

The Tree Hunt

We bought our Christmas tree on Sunday. I love getting a tree and decorating it, but the hunt is not really my favorite. We looked around the lot a bit, Merc pointed out a few good options. I liked the first one he pointed out, so I considered it for a few minutes, checking it…

Frozen, Part 2

Our last day in Chicago was a blustery 14 degrees. We woke up at 9:00am and checked the weather…feels like 0 degrees. So we went back to sleep for an hour. When we finally did step outside, the wind caught my breath. Merc uttered his now famous line, “It’s not that bad.” But before we…

Frozen, Part 1

The last few days of our Chicago trip were the coldest I have ever experienced. I know that a lot of people live in freezing places and think nothing of it, but I am from California…and now that I am from Southern California, I am an even bigger weenie when it comes to the cold.…

Chicago and SNOW!!

Well, I am loving this cold weather, although I have not been so brave as to venture out into it for very long. I am glad that Snow did not lame out on me like Rain did back in Cali. We’re not having crazy storms or anything, but I caught a few flurries/flakes and it…

Brazzaz

Well, we’ve made our 3rd trip to Brazzaz in Chicago and it did not disappoint. Brazzaz is a Brazilian Barbeque restaurant. Basically, you sit down and they bring several (16, I think) different types of meat on huge skewers and carve it right onto your plate. They also have a salad bar of side dishes…

Good/Bad Customer Service

Life’s too short for bad customer service. I make choices on who I will give my business to based on the kind of service they provide. Case in point: Today at our luxury hotel that supposedly caters to business clientele, I was having trouble sending email. So I called the front desk and told them…

Hello Chicago…we’re back!

We’ve made our yearly pilgrimage to Chicago once again. It was a very long day of travel and set-up. We got up at 5am and headed to the airport. Once on the flight, with a little manuevering Merc and I got to sit next to each other, which was a nice surprise as our flight…
