Surprise ...Happy Birthday Margaret

Shhhhh ....don't tell anyone but Margaret just had one of those milestone birthdays and her kids and husband threw her a super surprise party at their country club Saturday night and then had a really nice brunch on Sunday at the Paris Hotel. She has some great friends, a few that she grew up with flew in from Wisconsin and lots and lots of family and friends flew in from all over. It was great to meet them all ...Thanks Nina, Cornelius, Alex and of course Peter for including Greg and I we had such a nice time. Happy Birthday Margaret

Good JuJu

I can't believe how many of my friend are either in the hospital or getting ready to go into the hospital for serious medical procedures or illnesses. I just wanted to post this to let you all know I wish you all well and only good JuJu.

Priscilla Queen Of The Desert

Last night I was out with friends to see Priscilla Queen Of The Desert at the Venetian. I had forgotten how beautiful that theater is; I guess the last time I was in that venue was to see The Phantom Of The Opera. The show was fabulous, funny, colorful and so entertaining throw in great music and that makes for one hell of a good night. If you get the chance this is a "must see" feel good show, you just can't help but smile,laugh and sing all night.

Wanna save some money and still have your favorite coffee?

Wolfgang Puck coffee pods from Amazon

How cool is this? make your own pods

I love to have a great cup of coffee or even a Latte each morning before I start the day. I love my Cuisinart espresso maker, first of all because it just makes such great coffee and because it's so easy to use and secondly because it takes coffee pods or the ground coffee from beans.
On work days I really like the ease of using the pods and so I used to buy the coffee pods from the Internet and take my chances on getting good fresh coffee. You never really know how old the coffee is or if it's in stock and then you have to wait for it to be shipped.

I think I must have died and gone to Latte heaven. I just bought these empty pods and this nifty little sealer to make my own pods. Love this idea Do you know how cheap the BIG bag of Starbucks coffee beans are when you get them at Sam's Club? Of course you have to start with good beans and a great coffee grinder is a must (a burr grinder, I have had mine for a few years now). Check it out, I made about a dozen pods in just under 10 min. Woo-hoo, no more stale coffee and no more waiting for the postman to bring the pods
