My brother Mr. C is getting married today! He is marrying a beautiful girl named Miss B and they are wonderful together. This is going to be a very special day and I have butterflies in my stomach full of joy.
I have a gift ready to give them which I think they'll really enjoy. A beautiful picture frame that's meant for one of their wedding photos- although they can use it for whatever picture they want (or they can return it if they don't like it)! And then a Korean food cookbook. I picked this out because Korean food is Mr. C's favorite and the last time we were together a couple weeks ago, they both mentioned how they are looking forward to learning how to cook meals together once they move in with one another at their new home.
I can't wait to deliver the Mickey Mantle gift to my dad and the wedding gift to my brother and his new wife today!
Peace :)

Dog Bed
Friday, March 4th 2011
Today is my dad's birthday- Happy Birthday Dad! I'll be down to visit and celebrate tomorrow...
My co-worker, Mr F. adopted a puppy last night and I am so excited for him. He's been talking about getting for a while now and last night he found just the right one. He mentioned that he needs to buy a dog bed and I know Costco sells a really nice one for only $18. I know this because my mom bought one for my brother's dog, Mr. D, for Christmas and he loves it!
I told Mr. F about the bed, but he said he doesn't have a Costco card. I would have happily gone and bought it myself, but I'm trying not to spend too much right now. So, I offered to take him there this afternoon so he could buy the bed before the weekend and we did. I think the cute little puppy will sleep well tonight!
Peace :)

Miss J's Lunch
Thursday, March 3rd 2011
Speaking of Miss J...I wanted to help pay for some of the decorations she bought yesterday and before I realized the day was over and I forgot to give her cash. So, another opportunity popped up today and as we moved through the line at Subway, I quickly paid for her lunch before she knew it! She got her wallet out, but the lady said it was already taken care of :) Fun!

Potluck for Miss M's Birthday
Wednesday, March 2nd 2011
Today is the 3rd birthday of the week for someone I know- my coworker Miss M! Miss J helped organize a potluck and also bought the decorations which was so generous ;) Almost everyone brought a dish, some big, some small, some homemade and some bought. It turned out to be a great variety and looked wonderful all set up.
I made spinach & artichoke dip early this morning and set it out with all the other goodies. It didn't take too much work but a few people wanted the recipe so I think they liked it. Thanks to Miss J for putting it all together!
I hope you had a wonderful birthday Miss M! :)

Dinner with the Neighbors
Tuesday, March 1st 2011
Last week during our power outage, D became acquainted with our neighbor down at the pub where they were both having a beer while they were locked out of the condo building. What better place to wait, don't you agree? As it turns out, D invited our neighbor and his fiance to come over for dinner and tonight ended up working for all of us.
They live right next door and I am excited to get to know them a little and maybe become friends. It's been a long time since we moved in and I feel guilty that we haven't had them over before now. Oh well, better late than never!
So I thought and thought about what to make and decided on enchiladas with a side of salad. And, of course, chips, salsa and bean dip for an appetizer! It was fairly easy to make the dinner and the best part was enjoying the company and visiting while the enchiladas baked in the oven. It's nice when you don't have to stand over the stove the whole night (as we've done before).
It was a pleasant evening and we had a lot in common to talk about- such as the fact that they are getting married the weekend before we are!

Mickey Mantle Gift
Monday, February 28th 2011
My dad's birthday is coming up this weekend, so I came up with an idea today of what to get him- a Mickey Mantle (his all-time favorite baseball player) theme gift. I went online and found a t-shirt, black & white photograph, and a book all about Mickey Mantle. I ordered the t-shirt and picture on a 2 day rush and then decided I'll just go down to the bookstore near my house to get the book and save on the rush delivery fee. Good idea huh? If I knew where they sold the t-shirt and picture, I'd drive there too but it's so much easier to order online!
I think he's going to really like this gift and I can't wait to give it to him this Saturday when I go down to visit.

Happy Birthday Miss K
Sunday, February 27th 2011
Today is our friend Miss K's birthday, so we went out to brunch with her and her boyfriend at a yummy restaurant that serves delicious breakfasts (and lunches if you so choose to order that)! We had a fun time toasting the birthday girl and telling stories about the weekend.
Then, somehow we ended up going to the hardware store on our way home to get some tools to hang up our new picture. We all said in 3 different versions to Miss K jokingly, "Was this the place you always dreamed of going on your birthday?" She didn't mind a bit!
I didn't particularly want to go there, but if it was up to me, our picture wouldn't be hung up for at least 6 more months, so I went along and supported the decision to stop there. Just go with the flow is what I try to practice these days...
