Happy Birthday Laura!

I just wanted to wish Laura (or as some of you know her, LOLO) a fantastic birthday today!

You have been there for me when Junior needed a babysitter, as well as when Chelsee and the condo needed looking after. Thanks again for being a good friend and I hope I can at least take you out to lunch today.

Hope you have a fantastic day!

Damn Those Mites and Other Fun Bits

I took Junior to the vet on Saturday to get his booster shots (2nd shots, one more to go) and during the examination we found out that Junior has ear mites. The symptoms have been there for a few days now, he scratches his ears alot, shakes his head. So now I have to give my lovely boy some ear drops once a day for the next 2 weeks. He's pretty good at taking them actually, he seems to know that this is going to help him in the long run.

I also went out to dinner with Andrea and Theresa on Saturday night to the Atlantic Trap and Grill. This is a bar with very "East Coast" feel, alot of music, alot of drinking and alot of partying. They usually have bands playing on Thursday and Saturday nights and you can check out their April Calendar on the following link. We had some good grub and I stayed to watch a bit of the band (Pearl Jim) who I would categorize as a fusion jazz/funk/celtic band.

Also on Saturday and Sunday Russ and I started our spring clean frenzy. We tackled the deck and started removing all the dead plants and just some general cleaning. We bought some new planters that stand 3 feet high and had a hell of a time trying to figure out if we should just add soil to part of the container or the whole thing. We ended up just adding gravel to 1/3 of it and then dirt to the rest. Now with such a small deck (8x8) I was thinking it wouldn't take so long, but it is still not finished and I still need to remove some plants from the window boxes and decided what plants to put there this season. Boy I've become a gardener, but not like many, I do not find it relaxing at all! I enjoy the finish product and don't like the journey to it. But that is just me. :)

Happy Birthday Miss604

I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish Rebecca (aka Miss604) a very Happy Birthday.

Though I can't be there in person to wish you the best, I hope you have a fantastic birthday!

Hugs from me!

Happy Birthday Laura

So today is Laura's birthday and I know she didn't want anything special done for it, but oh well guess I have to blog about her now!

Laura used to work with me and has since moved on and is working on other things. She was very kind to babysit Chelsea when we were away in Paris and I will forever be grateful to her for that! I would love to take her out for a drink or even dinner, but she doesn't want any fuss on her birthday. And as such I have to respect that.

So Laura, I hope you have a great birthday and hope you spend it the way you want to!

Lots of Love!

Laura's Last Day!

So one of my co-workers (Laura) is leaving today to bigger and better things.

Alas I won't be there to wish here all the best as I'm in Paris right now. But she has been so kind to look after our place and take care of Chelsea (the cat) while Russ and myself are away.

I will miss Laura's laughter, late night phone calls to me about clients, or just generally having her around the office. I know we will still be in great contact with each other as she still lives in the city, afterall.

Laura I'm still there as a movie date should you every want one!

Hugs and big toast from Paris!!! SALUTE!!!
