Thank You

/0 Comments/in /by

I am absolutely ridiculed by friends and family over my thank you notes. I send them for everything. This is a development that has reached new heights since I had my daughter. So many people are so generous and wonderful to us, I feel that they deserve nothing less than the sincerest thanks. And I know that when I spend time and money on finding the perfect gift for someone, it is always nice to receive a note of thanks. Even if the note isn’t really needed.

A great article on thank you notes can be found here.

Thank you to all of you who are still making this site a part of your lives. I’m off to drink some cheap chanpagne and watch Dick Clark melt Ryan Secrest with his x-ray vision. See you in 2007!

Holiday Hangover

Sorry for the lack of posts the last few days, but as many of you probably had this week off, odds are high you didn’t check the page anyway, so really, no one is losing here. I have spent the last few days attempting to recover from the evil illness that infected both Lucy and I during the holiday weekend. While I was home we took tons of pictures, despite Lucy’s anti-merry demeanor. The first of which I’ve posted on Flickr, but here are some others from my night out with fellow mommy and MHS grad, Inger and Shawna, another MHS survivor. This was the first night in Manhattan, so I was obviously refreshed enough to make silly faces at the camera. By the end of the week, I couldn’t seem to muster a silly face for the camera. Maybe a seething, scrouge face…

Yes, Inger, you made the website.

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all have a holiday filled with beer pong, Cranium, boys vs. girls Catch Phrase, late night debates and watching Miracle on 34th Street on cable.

Crap

Murphy’s Law states, whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. Megan’s Law states the same with this addition: especially during the holidays. The baby is sick. Sort of. I think she’s just teething, but she is so clingy and hysterical, which is very rare for her. I finally figured out the secret to getting her to go to sleep, which is her good old sleep positioner. We haven’t used it in months, but what ever works, you know?

Oh, and my computer was thrown on to a tile floor. OK, so I tripped over the cord (and contrary to the Mac commercials that state this won’t happen) and the computer came crashing down. My left shift key is now no longer functional, and I didn’t realize how often I use that key. Boo.

Holiday Hoopla, Part 3, Attempting to Cook

Last night I attended my first holiday-ish party of the season. As I am now working from home (and Lucy throws the lamest holiday parties) and Trent refuses to go to his work party on principle, this particular holiday party was the only one of the season. Each lady in the Sassy Supper Club was to bring an appetizer or dessert, and I chose a new holiday favorite. So, for all of your reading pleasure….

(HOLIDAY) MEDITERRANEAN LAYERED DIP

-Layer on platter in the following order:
-Onion and chive cream cheese (enough to use as bottom layer, depends on size of platter)
-Hummus (usually about 1 1/2 containers, again see above ingredient)
-Chopped, cucumbers, seeded tomatoes (roma ones are the easiest to remove seeds from)…another hint, each chopped piece should be about the size of your pinky fingernail
-Sliced olives
-Sprinkle feta cheese on top
-Serve with tortilla chips, the scoops ones are the best!

And that is the end of the cooking portion of our show.

In other news, I’ll be in and out for the next two weeks and I’m not yet sure what my email and Internet access will be like. So no mean comments about me not posting. It’s the holidays, for heavens sake. Keep the hate mail to a minimum, just like Jesus.
