I am a tad late in wishing everyone a Happy New Year…..so here it is…HAPPY NEW YEAR! I for one am pleased as punch to bid adieu to 2009 while at the same time completely excited for what 2010 has in store for each and every one of us.
As you can see, this new, bright year started off with a bang, in Las Vegas no less. I would like to introduce “Korbie”, the latest addition to our family. We met him at a fine Cantina at Lake Las Vegas where he decided to relocate to SoCal. We were more than happy to help him out, even offering up a prime location in our home to call his home. Unfortunately, while stowing away in the baggage compartment of our airplane, Korbie met his untimely demise (aircraft pressurization or lack thereof and inflatable Korbels don’t mix), and he never made it to his new home. RIP Korbie, you will live on in our memory.
Aside from the “Korbie Incident”, good times were had by all to kick off the New Year and cheers to many more great memories in 2010!
I walked up to my favorite Starbucks in the Phoenix airport today where my trusty, loyal and always working barista says “Hi Andrea, do you want your Cinnamon Dolce hot or iced today?”. Um….wow. I realize that I do frequent that particular Starbucks every chance I get when I am in Phoenix (the other locations in the airport just don’t make the drinks correctly!), but it appears that I just might indeed have a problem. Or I need to come up with a new drink selection, and fast! Any suggestions? And, no “Tall Coffee” does NOT cut it with me-I am not truly happy until I have parted with the $5 burning a hole in my pocket. Mind you, this weird must-have Starbucks fixation that I have only happens when I am working. I rarely go there on my off time. So, because I NEED this to properly do my job, wouldn’t that count as a write-off?
When the barista at Starbucks knows you by the $5 frou-frou drink you order, is that a bad thing?
I am going to go out on a limb here and wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Very un-PC of me, but no matter which holiday you celebrate, I believe a good old fashion Merry Christmas is in order 
I will be frolicking around our great nation (Canada too on this trip) taking people to here from there in order to be with their loved ones for the Holidays. My goal is to bring a little cheer to the masses at the airports and hotels wherever I go. First, I will start here:
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving! The Holidays are officially here! As I type from my hotel room in the Chicago-land area, I hope you are all surrounded with loved ones and enormous piles of food that will last for a week
This morning, I woke up with a bug up my bum and decided to see if it would be possible to see the musical Wicked. I have been wanting to see this one for quite some time now, and unfortunately, Wicked is in its last few months here in Los Angeles until the next time it comes to Los Angeles. All of the planets aligned for me, so hubby and I bought tickets, packed a lunch, and hopped in the car for our little journey into Hollywood to see the 1pm performance today.
All I have to say is WOW! What an amazing performance! The venue, the Pantages Theater is absolutely gorgeous in a delightful “Old Hollywood” sort of way. Howard Hughes even owned the the Pantages at one point, having purchased it in 1949. Even if you’re not that old, it takes you back. The music and storyline were fun and entertaining. The cast, magnificent. I cannot recommend Wicked enough!
Proof once again how sometimes the spontaneous version of myself can definitely pay off
