Christmas + 1

    Who has a wonderful husband, a wonderful kitty and now a wonderful puppy -- why I think that's me. We are a little family now. In my picture collage - you can see Butters sporting reigndeer antlers, Max in the snow, my husband and Max ready for a Christmas party -- doesn't it look like he's wearning a bowtie (Max, not Tre), our beautifully lighted Christmas tree and last, but certainly not least - our pumpkin soup. This soup was made from pumpkins plucked from our own backyard and the drawing was done by yours truly - Tre made the soup and the crem' fresh that I used to decorate with.

    Christmas was wonderful. I got the kitchen aid blender that's been on my list for years, Tre got a beard trimmer set that he's been wanting and we got a puppy. His name is Max and he's really small - almost too small, we're hoping he gets a tad bit bigger. He's a pug/poodle mix which makes him a poogle or a pug-a-poo. He's really just a mutt - and we really like him. He's pretty docile and he was the runt of his litter -- we're watching him and Butters get to know each other. No blood yet.

    My mom and sister came down for Christmas, chowed with us, opened presents and then had to drive quickly home. It was a great time with family - we played games and relaxed and played with the new puppy.

    Newyears was great too -- I'll post some pictures about that soon.

Palaces and France oh my




So, here it us -- the Alexandra Palace. The home of IMATS London 2008 and my place of work on January 26th & 27th. This is where the international makeup artist tradeshow, hosted by Makeup Artist Magazine will take place. I will be working the booth, dealing with foreign currency and making sure everything is just right for the big show.

It's coming up -- we leave on Wednesday, January 23rd and fly back on February 2nd. I'll be gone 10 whole days, the last four of which, I get to spend in Nice, France with some of my co-workers.

I remember watching an Alias several years ago where Sydney Bristow got to do an operation in Nice, France and I decided then that I wanted to go there; silly - yes, but here's my chance. The flight is a nominal fee and the housing is free. Yeah for friends with homes in the south of France -- we just love 'em. Well, I'll keep you posted on all my happenings -- I'm sure to have more than a few pictures to post when I get back.
