Do you remeber Jiffy Pop?

Rick's 13 year old had never heard of jiffy Pop so we thought he better be innitiated. Jiffy Pop is fun. :)

winter storm 2008

Today Ohio got hit with a blizzard. It was awesome. Like 16 inches of snow! Rick Michael and I went for a looong walk over to his moms house and had a really great day. Its been awhile since we've had snow like this, but we were well prepared. We put on all of our ski gear and headed out!

Layover

So I ended up in Florida yesterday and Rick got it in his head he needed to come see me. Logistically this is a hard thing to do. I never know if I'm going to end up staying somewhere or not pretty much until I'm in my hotel room. i was supposed to be in SRQ overnight so Rick bought a ticket to MCO. Just as he was about to take off, I got a update and we were ferrying! OH NO!!!!!! Thank goodness we were only going to West Palm! Just a little bit further of a drive. So Rick pulled in about 1130pm and we hung out and ordered room service. We got up early and headed down to the beach for about 45 minutes. It was so pretty! We rushed back to the hotel and I got dressed and had grabbed some breakfast then headed out to work. Bye bye honey! Have a great day in Florida! I love that crazy wonderful husband of mine. :)

Washington for the weekend

This past weekend Rick and I caught a Netjets ferry flight and jetted down to Washington DC to surprise his brother Doug and sisterinlaw Liz. They were having a party and we thought it would be great to just show up unannounced.
So we hoped on the plane and picked up a rental car. When we got to DC we had sometime to kill so we stopped at the fish market. i love all the fresh fish. I wish we lived near water. All the recipes of the world were going through my head as we walked around. We grabbed some Maryland Crab Soup(it was really good, like vegetable with crab all through it) and then headed down to the museums. We went to Museum of natural history because I love the Gem gallery there. We went to see a IMAX movie and then headed over to the party. Boy were they surprised. It was awesome. We partied all night(sooooooo may bottles of wine) and then got up the next morning and Liz made us a fantastic breakfast. We went to check out their new boat and then Rick and i headed home in our rental car. It was a great weekend!

V-A-L-E-N-T-I-N-E

Rick surprised me with tickets to the ballet. For those of you who don't know, I danced for 14 years so it happens to be something I enjoy, although it's been ages since I've been. It was a ballet met performance called Lovestruck and it was really good. The first dance was done to Bang Bang, originally by Sonny and Cher but it was a slow version and the dancers were very sexy. It really drew you in. The last dance was done to Bolero and it was amazing!
The first dancer came onto the stage with the stage covered in fog, then as the fog cleared she was revealed . she was wearing an all black dress and the four male dancers came onto the stage wearing only those big full pants. The all danced together and it was so entrancing. The music was amazing and the dancers were mesmerizing. We had such a good night. We got all fancied up then afterward we went to dinner at Marcello's. It was such a great night. And Rick didn't hate the ballet!
