George - I am glad to see that you are now a jewelry sales associate. I knew there was something that I liked about you.....I am with Anne, and this will probably make Greg angry, but shopping in St Maarten is really important. I bought a beautiful blue diamond ring this past year, I need to find something to match up with it. Greg loves a catamaran shore excursion that we've done twice now, and I know he probably wants to do it again. It was really fun, but I felt like I didn't get enough shopping time. And I dont' think that there is another port where I really want to shop that much.

Also, George, your temps are making me really jealous. It's 14 now, and coincidently, they just said on the news that our streak of days with out a temperature above freezing is 14 days. And there's no end in sight. The 5-day forecast shows highs in the low 20's at best.

Oh well, I am off for some retail therapy to help me cope. Sheree

Sheree,

Who said anything about me shopping...did you notice every 200' there is a beer stand with a nice umbrella to kick up my heels while Anne and Arrielle venture off shopping :)

Maybe you, Greg and Tommy can all visit those beer stands as Anne, Regina and I do some serious jewelry shopping! And George, you did see that Jewelry Sales Associate is your occupation on here, right? That's what I was referring to - not sure if you knew what I was joking about!

I do feel better after enjoying some retail therapy. Keeping with the theme. there's a certain jewelry associate at the mall whose eyes light up when I walk into his store. I went in to trade up my diamond stud earrings as a little Valentines Day gift to myself. This guy always takes care of me - Greg laughs because the guy waves when I walk by the store.

Not much else is up today. Greg's at the station. His mom's birthday party is tomorrow and I've got to make up some buffalo chicken dip to take over there. And I am going to insist that I drive so I can go through the carwash to get the salt off of my car. You can barely tell that it's a blue car!

Anne, Arrielle and I just got back from a trip to insanity...the mall that is! Of course Anne and Arrielle probably don't look at it quite like I do.

Sheree, I didn't see the jewelry associate under my name...yeah, I'm sure that would suit me. On the weather front, things are supposed to cool off a little, with rain projected for the next 4 days...that means not a cloud in the sky with temps hovering at record levels. Buffalo chicken dip sounds great...send us the recipe. Although I am currently involved in a weight loss challenge with two of my staff for the next three months...easy money!

Buffalo Chicken Dip.....it went over well at the party!

4 Chicken Breasts, baked and shredded
1 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce
1 cup Ranch Salad Dressing
1 cup Celery
1 8 oz cream cheese

Mix together, transfer to baking dish, bake at 350 for about 40 minutes, until it bubbles heavily along the sides, and then dive in! We've eaten it on Tostitos, crackers, whatever sounds good.

I've got to be honest and tell you that it looks disgusting when you mix it up, but it tastes great!

Ok, off to work. It's still cold - tomorrow we're supposed to get a big snow storm - but we'll see what happens because often the weather people get you all excited for nothing!

Thanks Sheree. We make the velveeta dip once in a while and it too looks utterly disgusting, but tastes great! Don't forget to ask about the vacation today!

Oh - there is no comparison between the Buffalo dip and the Velveeta dip - trust me! The Buffalo dip is out of this world!

All that talk of food is making me hungry. I need to lose 20 pounds before the cruise so help me out and do not talk about food.

WHY ARE THE L'S COMING OUT UPSIDE DOWN?

Sheree, by the sound of it, the buffalo dip sounds great. On the velveeta dip, about the only comparisson between the box recipe and ours, is the velveeta cheese.

Regina, I feel your pain, I need to lose 30 lbs prior to the cruise. The weight challenge between some of my staff and myself is going well...with the exception of the caffiene withdrawals I'm experiencing from no coffee...addicting stuff.

We canceled the Monarch of the Seas sailing and are planning to book the Paradise itself...bigger rooms and a day at sea were the deciding factors. We probably won't book this cruise with Lori because she is $125.00 more than two quotes I got back from cruisecompete.com. One of the places I've never heard of...Cruisecafe.com...anyone heard of them?

Hi Dan - of course we remember you and Courtney! Hope you guys are doing well!

I am going to push the boss on the vacation issue on Monday. She is out today. Yesterday we got a postcard with cheap rates for the week after our anniversary at the Aladdin in Las Vegas. I might even call today and reserve the room so I don't miss out. I know why she is holding off on approving it, because we are doing some reorganization, but I need to be able to lay these things out! I always book things in advance so I can have something to get me through when work is unbearable.

I am not sure if I mentioned it or not, but we'll be going away for the weekend. We're headed to Columbus in the morning. It's about 2 hours south and we usually just shop (even Greg) and enjoy a change of scenery. It's nothing too exciting but we realized that we haven't had a night away from the house since we came home from the cruise, so it'll be nice to do something away from home for once!

Have a great weekend everyone! Sheree
