Welcome home to me (actually last week). So good to be home, except for having to keep up with housecleaning again.
I got a new haircut – thanks to Laura Braun at Euphoria Salon. She’s good!

Pam, a coworker friend from the Mission, was kind enough to surprise me with an immersion blender she found at a Garage Sale. This may rank in the top of the “greatest kitchen gadgets” list. It’s AWESOME!! I’ve already made an Asparagus Spinach soup (yum!). And I must say, my head is spinning with all the soups, smoothies and milkshakes that I hope to make. Thank you, Pam!

A handblender - not mine, but the same idea.
Lastly, this isn’t new, per se, but we celebrated out 5th anniversary last week. My husband racked up some major bonus points in the process. I flew into Louisville last Tuesday at midnight, expecting that he was driving me home. But a couple turns later, we turned into the Crowne Plaza (yeah for Priceline!) for the night, where I found flowers, chocolates and even clothes that he had packed for me. A complete surprise! This meant no exhausted drive home (after a 20 hour travel day). And we spent the day in Louisville, most importantly going to the Zoo – which I LOVE. Not only was it a fun way to celebrate our anniversary, it also made for a nice transition back to the US. No checking email, stressing about house cleaning or scramblign to fix supper. Just a day to breathe. So, cheers for my man who knew exactly what I needed!
Awww…what a sweet husband to plan that for your anniversary!!!
