Presents, Presents Everywhere!

Usually I’m not one to care if I get anything for my b-day (on the 19th) or for X-mas….but this year has been pretty special so far and J and I have received some pretty nice gifts thus far and it’s not even Christmas yet or our birthdays.

I came home yesterday and received 3 UPS notices for packages that were left at our apartment’s leasing office for pick up. I was very excited. All in all, this is what we received:

 1. a Haier 18 Bottle Wine Cellar - we received this from our friends L, L2, S, and G. It was very kind of them to get us something so nice and useful. J belongs to an Ultra Reds wine club at our favorite wine shop and he hasn’t opened any of them, so it’ll be nice to put the bottles in the cellar.

2. J got a set of Laguiole by Sabatier Stainless Steel Steak Knives from my sister PC. These will be very useful, since we are in need of new knives anyway — plus, we’re having steak tonight, so we can test them out!

3. I received my gift from J yesterday as well. I got my new Creative Zen V Plus MP3 Player. It is so tiny and fits perfectly in my palm. It’s a great little player! It holds photos, videos, audiobooks, and music. I’m in love with my new little toy!

Then when I came home tonight, there was a big box sitting by my front door. When I opened it, I was so excited! My sister PC got me a Kitchen Aid Mixer and it’s a pretty red color.  I’m so excited to start using it!!!

So, there you have it. We’ve been pretty blessed thus far. Thanks to the kind people in our lives that got us these really wonderful gifts.

Belated Welcome

Since I’ve been so naughty about updating my blog, just wanted to make a little announcement. Our good friends M& N just welcomed their first child into the world on Dec. 4th. A beautiful healthy boy. We should be meeting him in a few days…I can’t wait!

 Welcome Little Guy.

Dane Cook is the SH*T!

Last Wed, J and I had the pleasure of attending Dane Cook’s show at the Pavilion. It was Hi-lar-i-ous!!! The thing that I loved about his comedy show was that it was all new material — not anything that I’ve seen before or heard on YouTube. He’s a great performer and very energetic.

 I got these tix for J’s birthday/X-mas gift. It was well worth it!

Kathy Griffin is a Hoot!

This past Saturday, J and I went to the city to catch a 10pm show for Miss Kathy Griffin (Life on the D List). It was a fun show…she was very funny, though most of her comedy is towards making fun of celebrities – she poked fun at a whole lot of them – Marie Osmond (ew.), Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise, Oprah, Britney, all the Osmonds and many more. She was very energetic and I can see why the crowd loves her. We had a good time in the city…it was a little weekend getaway for us. Fun times.
