Every House

Every house that I know of has one room that is always used. That room would be the kitchen. It always seems to be one of the most central locations for people to cluster. That’s why I think it’s important to ensure that it is decorated nicely in order to make the house a home. Recently, we decided to install wine glass racks in our kitchen in order to make it look nicer.

One problem that we had in our kitchen was a lack of space. We found that we could squeeze out a little more room by taking advantage of a hanging wine glass rack. We got all the glasses off the shelf and out of the way. That gave us other opportunities to use the space we made available. Not only that, it has enhanced the look of our kitchen.

We were very happy with the results we had in the kitchen and so we thought we would try it in the basement. We have a den in the basement that has a small bar. We thought that adding bar glass racks would help our décor there as well. I am glad to say that it did and now our bar looks great. We had a small party recently and everyone liked the way it looked. I guess we will be able to throw a few more parties now, knowing that we have what it takes!

Happy Birthday to My Cousin

Birthdays are not a big deal to me. After all, once you hit 18 you have it all – so what’s the big deal now? But, in my family, we make a big deal out of birthdays. We always have a party on the actual day – my mom will not put off the party until the weekend or a convenient day – it HAS to be on your birthday.

So, I know that my cousin Monica is having her birthday today. And since she is out of town for the big convention,we can’t have her party tonight. I guess this time it will have to wait a few extra days.

So, sorry you are not here to celebrate, but hope you have a Happy Birthday anyway, Monica!

Happy Birthday!!

It’s that time of year again when somebody I know is having a birthday! I wanted everyone to lend me a hand in saying Happy Birthday to my niece Amanda who is turning 5 years old today. I hope she will have a great day and I’m sure she will.

I was informed that Amanda will be spending the day at a local Chucky Cheeses with several of her friends. I believe that along with all the presents she will undoubtedly receive, she’ll be in for a day to remember.

Happy Birthday Amanda!

Christmas party

I went to a Christmas party last night with my old friends here. It was amazing. I met a really cool chick, but unfortunately we wont see each other again as she is going out of the country to study in the UK. That is too bad. I haven’t met a chick that cool in a long time. We have decided to keep in touch though, through Facebook and email. That way whenever she does come back, we can get together and hang out.

The guys hadn’t changed that much over the last few months. Only one of them had anything different going on in his life. He got engaged and will be getting married next summer. He asked me to stand up for him in the wedding and of course I said yes. I wasn’t very surprised about that, since him and his girl have been together forever. They were high school sweet hearts and I doubt they will  ever change. I wish them the best of luck !

Anyway, I have to go and finish up the last minute shopping that needs to be done. I only have a few more things to buy, and mom has asked me to pick up a couple of things for her as well. I don’t want to be doing this on Christmas eve, because the stores are already packed and by then they will be a mad house. So, I will catch you on the flip side. Have a Great Holiday!

Party time

So we decided to have a party and make it a seafood extravaganza. Since we got that big Marlin,  we smoked the meat in dad’s smoker. Well, dad did it since he is retired and had the time, but we also are getting oysters and clams for the party as well. It is going to be a little seafood fest for a few family and friends. We will give away some of the meat as it is just too much to keep. I know that everyone is going to have a blast though. After all, everyone loves seafood. Or at least everyone I know does.
