Postcards To Home ♥

We had a potluck breakfast this morning in the office. Yummy, "I'm about the pass out" food. I brought in lots of bananas figuring they will be eaten throughout the day. Someone made pumpkin waffles, sausage/egg casserole, fruit bowls, pastries, mini doughnuts, bagels and lox....lots of food! We even had drinks...Regular Mimosas and the "White Trash Mimosas" which is Miller High-Life and Sunny D. I'm plugging away at my project but would love to curl up under my comforter right now after the filling breakfast.

Poptart and Cornflake Originally uploaded by ::: a i m e e ::: One of my closest friends in Seattle is hitting the road tomorrow morning for a roadtrip with her boyfriend Eric and their dog, Floyd. They are taking a huge roadtrip on their way to their new home in Chicago. Eric is going to gradutate school through the Navy and after 15 months on leave, him and Katie will finally be back together in the Windy City. Saturday night we had a farewell party for Katie and Eric. I forgot I had my camera until the very end so I didn't get a photo of most the guest. Click on the photo to see more images from the silly night.

Last night we had our company holiday party at the Edgewater hotel. Its about 7 blocks from my apartment. We got all dolled up and they had it like a casino where we gambled with fake money with raffle prizes and prizes for the best gamblers. A bunch of us went a bar in my neighborhood afterwards. I only had two glasses of wine at the party but the two drinks at the bar did me in. I didn't take any photos but will try to round some up. I was on time to work but I was part of the high percentage of employees who were truly feeling the pain today.

As new videos are added, I will update this blog to the lastest video update's date.

T.G.I.F! What a week, what a day. Today was one of those days where a project keeps appearing on your desk hour after hour with more and more changes. That is why one of the account managers gave me this little bottle of Tequila because a certain project is driving us nuts. All we can do is laugh about it. The good news is that we were suppose to come in Sunday to help prepare for a Monday presentation and now we do not have to set foot in this place until Monday morning. Cheers!

Andy recommended a great food web site for me. http://www.epicurious.com The dictionary on the site has become a good friend. http://www.epicurious.com/tools/fooddictionary/ This weeks produce includes Apples, Pears, Spring Mix, Basil (lots of it!) Leeks, Mushrooms, Celeriac (which is a celery root), Winter Squash, Carrots and Kale.

Weather has been crazy. Saturday morning I was out and about at 8am to go to my hair salon. It was chilly but nothing crazy. I got home at 11:30am made breakfast and went back to bed for a nap. I woke up at 2 to a winter wonderland! That is a rarity in this region. It all turned to slush that night but has been raining since. Today we have 3 storms traveling through the area. Rain is falling at historical levels. Seattle had almost 3.5 inches of rain -- making it the second wettest day in Seattle history. My co-workers Cher's car is almost completely submerged in a food across the street from her house. She was at work when someone e-mailed her photos of her car. She shared the photos with us, trying to find laughter in the situation. Here are photos of rescue crews floating by Cher's car. It is only drizzling now and it warmed up. Strange, strange weather.

I have two home video cassettes I need to bring back to PA. I HAD to tape this with my digital camera because I kept watching Jenna over and over and over. Jen, you were an adorable, funny kid... and I had VERY BAD HAIR! WHY ON EARTH DID I THINK HAVING A "PUFF" WAS COOL?
