What will they think of next?

Interested in a "corset" that moves excess fat from your stomach to the ahem 'girls'. Well look no further - here it is!

Sassy Update #3

"I think this is my favorite place the food is amazing and the view is breathtaking. I'm loving France! Next family vacation!"

I think I can

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I am this close to being done with Finance. Good riddance! Though my pride would like to maintain a 4.0 GPA, I am totally fine with skating by on a 'B' in this class. It's kicking my a**! I turned in my last assignment yesterday. The final paper is due either the 25th, 28th or somewhere in between. The joy of NAFTA. I really want to get it done by the 25th or super close so I'm only putting on final touches at the last minute (for which I am notorious). Sassy has a volleyball tournament about 90 minutes north-west on the 27th so we (not sure if it will be just she and I or me plus cherubs or whole fam) will be driving up and staying overnight the 26th. There will be too many distractions for me to focus on the paper, hence I better knock it out this weekend. Great way to spend the first day of spring (March 20th - yeah!).

Amore

Today is my and hubby's 24th wedding anniversary! That seems impossible. We're not getting any younger, are we? I'm truly grateful to be in a happy, healthy place in our partnership. Great hot fudge sundaes don't hurt either! We were married on a Friday the 13th on the 13th floor of the courthouse at 1300 hours. And we've had two black cats. Ha!

Hubby came home from a week-long business trip today and surprised me with a beautiful bouquet from our favorite florist which just happens to have a store a mile from the house. He is THE BEST flower picker-outer ever! He always gets something sophisticated, unusual and "organic" looking. This one has funky light green mums, pink lillies, stock, curly willow and a large, beautiful protea. I would take a photo for you but Sassy has my camera. This is sort of a variation on the theme -


I've been buried in Warren Buffett, NAFTA and sources of capital for the past two days so I really wasn't in the mood to get all gussied up and go to a fancy restaurant. I asked if we could go to my favorite local restaurant, Chipotle, for a mid-day celebration (is it linner, lunner or dunch?) 'cause I'm classy like that. I had myself a burrito bowl with black beans, carnitas and guac. I usually have a salad so I went gangbusters today. I even had a Corona. Ole!
