Countdown to Vegas

Between now and the time my plane takes off on Friday morning the following activities should have taken place:

Make cherry sauce for cheesecake


Buy cheesecake stuff


Make cheesecake


Write a compelling press release (not about the cherry sauce or the cheesecake, about work stuff)


Distribute the press release to normal, then online outlets


Print a stack to take to the event


Pick up bag from our assistant who had been labeling chocolates for us


Pack


Pick up library books that are waiting


Buy cat food and sundry other items for house/cat sitter and general use/travel


Touch up pedi


Do/Fold laundry


Enjoy a nice early Father's Day dinner with Hubby, Daughter, and Hubby's best friend GR who will be joining us for filets, cognac sauce, artichokes, crusty sourdough and very nice cabernet. Oh, and cheesecake with cherry sauce.


Try to get a good night's sleep before the trip since Hubby and Daughter and GR will be leaving at 0500 on Friday, then I'll be running around doing final prep stuff then catching a 0940 flight and since they'll also be staying with me in Vegas that night which means nobody is probably going to get a ton of sleep but it'll be fun but Saturday, the first day of the event, might be a little bit dicey.


And that's pretty much what the next 48 hours looks like. Or should.

Schnazzed up Desert Magnolia..again, thanks to LP the graphics guru!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Nope, it's not quite Spring yet, but sometimes a girl's gotta get a new 'do. Or in this case this girl's gotta get a new blog header. You know what I mean. Thank you LP! You rock. I love the artistic approach..it's soft but nice and still says, 'Enter here at your own risk, for opinions of a strong nature are sure to be expressed.' That's how I see it, anyway.

May I please be excused?

When G.G. was sorting through the mail the other night he stopped, then started to chuckle. And then he handed me an envelope in which a Jury Summons was contained. He chuckled because he has been called twice, and I have never been called. And for some reason he thought that wasn't right, or fair, or something. Well, I got mine. But it turns out I need to ask them a favor. To postpone my civic duty until after the holidays. Because before the holidays I am responsible for planning and overseeing and/or executing all year end marketing and PR for our little company, as well as publishing our final edition of an e-pub that now distributes to over 300K people each edition, so it needs to look good. And not have spelling errors and stuff. And then when that e-pub flies? I'll be flying, literally, to Providence, then to Europe and the Middle East. There's a lot to get done before I go, and I'm desperately hoping that our jury management system accepts my reque

Running Shoes...with Waves

Remember when you had one pair of tennies and they were for everything? Everything. Those days ended for me in high school when I started to run in earnest. In Nike Pegasus, their original running shoe, in white leather with a red swoosh. They were cushiony and durable and made me feel like less of a poser and more like a real runner. After that the style options exploded. I can't remember when Nike came out with their patented Air technology, but I had one of the original pairs..paid a ton of money for them, but it was money well spent. I ran all over the place in those things. All over. The foothills, the valley, sidewalks, parks, around the Academy, wherever...many miles in the originals. Generations of shoes later, I find myself not so happy with the Nike anymore. I've spent thousands of dollars on them in my life, but a few years back began to notice what I deemed to be a general decline in quality, though they've never stopped increasing their prices with ea
