Busy, busy, busy...

Let me tell you, the life of an executive assistant isn't as glamorous as it sounds! Ha! Today was phone calls, calendars, meetings and a few nutcases on the phone, leftovers from the holiday season. (that does not include the ones still here at work)
Not much time to blog before I have leave work for my downtown culinary school. I am headed out into the artic blast which has decided to linger over the East coast for the next week. The ten day forecast is easy to memorize: freezing.
As an update, I walked the stairs last night, took down the Christmas tree, made dinner and remembered to call my dear friend Christine for her Birthday. Quite good for a Monday night, especially the part about the tree. Dan and I did get into a little tangle with the tree stand...unfortunately the stand won. It too is now on the curb, still attached to the tree, waiting to be picked up. I am sure the tree recycling police would have us immediately arrested if they could pin the crime on the two of us. Leaving the stand behind I can be certain wasn't acceptable recycling...but it was so cold outside and the damn thing would not let go of the tree! The tree actually looked rather nice standing tall on the sidewalk. Instead of lying down like the rest of them, it stood proud.
Well, off to school! Wish me luck with my gnocchi!

How was the gnocchi?? :) You've still got to cook us one of your 'culinary delights' next time you are in Seattle! I made Mommy's meatloaf and baked consumme rice for Uncle's last night with us and dinner was quite a success - fun party too! We missed you and Danny! Love your writing(s) about the "know-it-all" sisters and now the niece 'in training' - but remember.....you are a member of the illustrious group as well! :) Also remember - as the eldest sister.....I default to the wisest and the most 'know-it-all'! Love you! Jenny Penny
