Hello My Lovely's!
Yes, here I am once again, after way too many weeks absent. Although, I notice I'm not the only one. :-) I think about you both so often and miss you terribly, especially when something happens, one of those inside jokes that only the three of us would get. Heavy sigh... June cannot get here fast enough! The great thing is that after the first of the year, it's all downhill from there! But, you know how I am, it want be real until I have those tickets in my hands!
Candygirl... Bless your little sweet heart! I know exactly who you were talking about, when you mentioned CZ, and I can only imagine enduring an evening with that set. I agree, you need to redo your contract and be super specific about what you will and won't do, otherwise people just take advantage of your good nature. It's really hard to be in business for yourself. You want to go that extra mile and give good customer service, but you really do have to draw a line, or people just walk all over you. It's sounds like you need a break, some time away from the job. Even if it's just a long weekend at home enjoying some down time and a Sex and City marathon. Hopefully over the holidays you can enjoy some time with the family and re-energize yourself a little... I sure hope so!
Gypsy... How goes the attempts to be Cajun free??? I'm thinking, by looking at your choice of music lately, that someone is a little twitterpated. :-) Sounds like things at the Inn are going well, I'm so glad you've found something you enjoy doing and I know you're awesome at it! Loved the pic you sent me with the new coral lipstick, absolutely fabulous! So, what's on your horizon for the holiday, will you have some time off? I hope so, it's always nice to get a few days just to relax and do nothing. I was thinking about you the other day, while looking at pictures, are still doing your photography? I hope so, you really have such a beautiful eye.
Life at the C's is hectic as usual, like we all seem to be lately, but things are good. We got to spend some time with the Kiddo's recently, had a really nice family dinner. I went all out and made a special Italian meal. Osso Buco with Baked Mushroom Risotto, and for dessert, Mascarpone Mousse with Balsamic Strawberries and a delicious Italian red wine with dinner, and Port with dessert. It was delicious! I'm back into trying a different new wine once a month, I've forgotten how much fun that can be. We've gotten into the same old routines and nice to break out a little and do something different. Hence the Italian fare, I'm also trying to cook some new things and advance my culinary skills, trust me, they need it! I don't know about you guys, but I find myself making the same thing every week and gets boring. So, send me some recipes of different things you've tried! Did I tell you I've recently applied for job as a Travel Consultant? Had to go through all these interviews and testing, but passed everything. They want to hire me, but because we have the trip planned in June they want to wait until after we return so that it doesn't interfere with the training so, another vocation. I think I would really enjoy working in the travel industry, plus the perks are really good! I'll keep you posted. Can I just say, I really want and Hermes bag, but how ridiculous is it that they cost anywhere from $6,000 t0 $66,000! Good grief, that's a house! Can you say, knockoff??? I really like the look of them, but even if I had $6,000 to blow on a handbag, there is just no way! It's crazy that just because something has a designer name it costs a fortune! I think you can be just as fabulous shopping at Thrift Town! I've found some amazing things there! Wish they had one here! I definitely will be making a visit when we come home. All of our Kiddo's are doing good... B&S are settling into married life and seem really happy. They just got a miniature long haired Chihuahua named GiGi, she came to dinner too. She's so adorable, I wanted to put her in my pocket and keep her. :-) A&C are good, just talked to them, staying busy and looking forward to a break over the holiday. They're planning their trip here for next October. It will so nice to have all our Kiddos on the same continent at one time! B&JL are doing good, still no closer to a proposal yet. B just got a new job working for a mine up north, he'll be doing scaffolding, the pay is really good, but worry about him. Seems like both of our Boy's enjoy the dangerous work. :-( Whatcha gonna do? When they get old enough to make their own choices, you just have to step aside and pray a lot! Well, my Girlies, that's pretty much the jest of life down under at the moment. I sure hope these next 5 months fly by, can't wait to see you both and all of the Family. Give everybody our love and know that my thoughts and prayers are always with each of you.
Love you so much!
