Happy New Year!

Hello 2013!

I can't remember the last time I was this excited about the new year.  Don't get me wrong, 2012 was amazing and the latter half of it was probably the best of my life (we found out that my dad's surgery was very successful and his cancer hadn't spread so he is 'cancer free!!'), but 2013 just has this draw that is exciting the living crap out of me!  I can't wait to get started.

We started the year off with our traditional Japanese dinner which requires the use of noodles (for good luck).  On the menu, as usual, was teriyaki chicken, chow mein, keppa makki sushi, green beans and non alcoholic 'champagne'. This year we spiced it up by eating in the dining room for the first time (usually we eat in the kitchen) as well as snapping our Christmas crackers.  What a great evening!




Last night we had a wonderful time ringing in the new year with great friends.   I think, in all honesty, that this is the first time in well over 20 years that we have gone out.  It was so much fun that it's probably not going to be another 20 years until we do it again!

Sexy boys!

Hot chicks!

Beautiful young ladies

Hostess with the mostess

Just imagine what I would be like if I drank!

Time to pop the cork!

The whole gang waiting for the clock to strike midnight

Ah ha ha...the party hat on Hubby's head...ha ha haaa

...and that, my friends, concludes this blog. I think yesterday's post is an appropriate way to end it. I really don't have the time to keep a blog anymore.  My posts aren't as entertaining as they used to be (sometimes I bore myself) and right now it just seems more like a chore than a creative outlet. I will keep the blog active for awhile until I can find the time to slurp all the posts into a book but I don't think I'll be adding anything new. Thanks for reading.  Thanks for all the support over the years.  Thanks for listening to the Crazee Chick rant... See you later.... Lisa

24 Hour Relay Report--Facebook Style

Status: Walked almost 30 km this weekend. Walked from 11pm until 3 am--did 20 km--stumbled, weaved, bobbed, and limped through that last 2 kms and now have empirical knowledge of what it feels like to be asleep on your feet.   Feet hurt. Legs hurt. Hips hurt. 75 year old man passed us during our 4th hour. He was on his 16th hour and managed to run 165 km in a 24 hour period. Inspiring! Humbled by elderly, fit man, called the Lone Wolf. What courage. Reached my fund raising goal.  Thank you to all who donated.  Your contributions helped to raise over $1,000,000.00 and send 852 kids to summer camp this year.  Thank you.  Visited Starbucks 3 times in effort to warm up. Weather was not on our side. Cold and rainy! Ick!  Slept in a tent trailer for the first time in my life! It was so cool. It was also especially wonderful to be out of the rain and not sleeping on the ground. Met a bunch of crazy people.  Got to hang out wif...

Scents and Scents-ability

Before I became a Mommy I was a working girl. And when I was a working girl, I was a GOOD smelling working girl. I had my favorites--Tresor, Poison, Giorgio, Ysatis, Tuscany per Donna, Eternity by Calvin Klein, Perry Ellis and Alfred Sung. I had so many perfumes--and I loved them all! Then I became a Mommy and I did away with all my perfumed-ness. Why? I guess I didn't want my baby to have to breathe all that while s/he was trying to nurse. Perfumed flavored milk? Yucky! And...I never went out so why did I need to smell pretty? Wasn't smelling like breast milk, puke and baby poop enough of a sensory overload? Now I'm two things: Mommy and Working Girl. But I'm not a breastfeeding Mommy so you know what that means... BRING ON THE PERFUME!! The other day I went to the store and I was bowled over by the choices! Givenchy has a million scents now, JLo has like three kinds, and then there's that Ed Hardy guy with the fabulous name-- Christian Audidgi...
