Name them one by one….
I love the spirit of Thanksgiving as just a time to reflect on our blessings. I feel very blessed this year to have all that I do. Namely my husband, my family, my friends and our business. So I offer a heartfelt “Thank You!” to all who have been a part of my life in…

The Rain Rip-off
Dear Rain, When I see your pretty little picture on the weather forecast, I smile and anxiously await your arrival. You’re like an old friend, and I love it when you visit. So you can see how I am so upset about your ill-timed performance this past week. You were supposed to come and stay…

Workin’ Like Crazy
I’ve been falling behind on the blogging because we have been working some serious hours. Basically, we’ve been doing little else, but working. It really hasn’t been that hard because there was always something that needed to be done. I really like having the goal clearly set out before and know exactly what must be…

For Pete’s Sake
I watched a wacky little movie with my dad a few years ago, called “For Pete’s Sake”. It’s a Barbra Streisand comedy from the 70s. I found it on Netflix (watch instantly!) so I watched it again. Overall, it is a pretty ridiculous movie, but parts are pretty funny. I love finding random stuff like…

Turkey Day After All
This is our busiest time of year. We get a lot of work toward the end of the year from most of our clients, then we typically go to Chicago for a week for another client. We leave the day after Thanksgiving, early, so we rarely go out of town to visit family for the…

Watch Instantly – Update
I haven’t watched a movie yet on the xBox with Netflix, but we did get it set up. It looks to be promising once we hardwire the internet. Once I figured out that I needed the movies to already be queued in my Netflix, I logged on and added about 80 movies. I think this…

Haircut
I got my hair chopped off this week. I was brave and did not tell the stylist my usual tidbits, “I have to be able to put it in a ponytail”, “I don’t do bangs”, etc. I told her that I wanted it shorter and that I wanted to be able to do it curly…

Digital Me
So the hubby and I created our little xBox avatars. We went for realism (inasmuch as it was possible). I have to say it was an interesting experience, trying to figure out what the 3D cartoon me should look like, but it was fun. So here’s how it came out:

Mass-ahhhhhh-ge
Hubby and I stopped off to get a mid-day massage during our lunch break. It was much needed and very enjoyable. A good massage sends me into that lovely “not-quite-here” state of consciousness. Once I got a chair massage in the middle of The Irvine Spectrum (at one of those booths) on a bustling Friday…
