Nothing much...

Nothing new going on in my world...just amazed...I'm amazed it's Friday already...I'm amazed it's the last day of February 2008...spring is drawing near...I'm amazed at the asinine remarks people make...this weeks award winning comment..."how many times do I have to eat here not to get charged for side items?".... gee... and I thought we were in the restaurant business to make a profit...what was I thinking? Let's continue...I'm amazed that my husband begins and ends his exercise regimen in the week prior to his check up with his doctor..."yes doc I'm excersizing!" I'm amazed I picked up a pair of $275 Cole Haan boots yesterday for $60.00...yet they are all over the net for$250....lucky me! Happy Friday!

Who knew..."soho" right down the street...

I live in a small town...norman rockwell small ...so for years I've driven 30 min to attain a haircut. Not because I'm picky... we have three successful salons in my backyard, with loads of talent. However, with my new "do" I would also recieve with a hugh dose of local gossip...Yuck. So I drive. Today I tried a place right on my street, three blocks away in the historic district. I felt like I'd walked into a loft salon in Soho. The visit began with a message of the shoulders, head and neck...and the smell of Aveda products permeated the air...hugh windows filled the room with light...and I was offered my favorite beverage. Green tea with honey! Truely a zen experience!

I was wrong...twelve years miss oza!

Remembering our precious Oza...

Today is the day an extraordinary human being left our mist...could it possibly be eleven years. She was the kind of person that made each and every person in her life (lots of children, grandchildren and greats) feel like they were the most important. I once observed her remove her london fog scarf from her coat and wrap it around a servers neck that was working in the bitter cold. Our hearts still ache for you.

A sad day...

Another college shooting....a cop found guilty of killing pregant girlfriend Jessie and precious baby Chloe... my prayers are with 2 year old Blake...he will need them.
