Hello all,
So my husband and I have toying with the idea of a after graduation cruise, for family and close friends. I think it's a great way to celebrate and take a really fun and affordable vacation. So were curious about where everyone would like to go? Eastern or western Caribbean? There are really plenty of choices. But planning early is the key to our success......
January 2007, mark your calendar.....

Lunch and a movie anyone?
So what's everyone up to today....work? The usual daily running around trying to get everything done in time. i know how you all feel, I not at work but I'm trying get time to visit with everyone before I head back to Jax. i got to do lunch today with My husbands Folks and Grandma. I should say it was more like breakfast because i had pancakes and sausage and so did grandma. But it was goood!!!! We had fun chit chatting fun was had by all. Then this afternoon Mom and I took in a movie. The only thing that sucks is the fact that you pay quite a bit to see a movie you have to watch commercials, I don't mind the movie previews and all. Getting back to the movie, Wallace and Gromit The curse of the Ware rabbit. I give it 2 thumbs up, I think I'm going to have to take the Mr. K-C to see it.

Yummy!! Yummy!
I had a delicious chocolate milkshake, you know the one I'm talking about. The new one at steak and shake, I give it 2 thumbs up( i licked them both). We split one shake because it was more than enough. My Mom did the honor of picking one up after a little shopping trip. We were looking for Mother of the Bride dressing for the up coming weddin'. We saw the good the bad and the ugly. So of them were so ugly, do people really wear some of these things??? I guess so, not everyone can have good taste like me.

Whatever Happened to the Concept of Keeping a Low Profile? Sonja Aguirre, 18, was arrested in Greenwood Village, Colo., in March when, while allegedly carrying 265 pounds of marijuana worth an estimated $500,000, she decided to save a few steps and park in a handicap space. And Edgar Galvan, 28, and Jose Clark, 27, were arrested in Orlando, Fla., in July when, though allegedly carrying 550 pounds of marijuana, they nonetheless hauled it in an SUV with an expired license plate. And, according to police in Dayton, Ohio, in August, a man and a teenager, who were intending to rob a marijuana-growing couple of their large inventory, were arrested shortly beforehand when they tried to save a few bucks by shoplifting pantyhose (to wear as disguises in the robbery) from a Rite Aid drug store.

Hello all!!!! from the west coast, of course I mean the west coast of FL....

In luv some good duck. I don’t care for some of the stuff on the food network, but I do like this show. It’s fun to see the chefs in real action, this when you can see what there really made of....now back to the show...peking duck in an hour wow I don’t know about that( it usually takes 3 days) . My money is that the iron chef could lose this one. I wonder how you get to compete, that would totally cool. I don't think I ready quite yet, but someday. Oh... back to the show....times up... wow that went fast... I’m glad I don’t have smell-a-vision or I would be so watering at the mouth... Ming Tsai duck liver creme brulee...interesting. What's Bobby Flay got.... fried duck and grits? I don’t know this is going to be a close one. And the winner of the duck battle is......(side note they have iron chef america hats on the food network website) ....the winner is Ming Tsai. They said that Mings flavor was superb. And was right on choosing the winner ......
