BYU Beer Koozies On Sale at Wal-Mart!

Browsing the clearance isle at Wal-Mart, I came upon these. I suspect the buyer might have gotten confused which university teams is which. I mean really do they know anything about the fan base? Or maybe they are just supplying the University of Utah fans with white elephant gifts! By the way there were NO Utah Koozies!

Food, Floss and Fun (The Triple F’s and Triple D’s)

Dear Guy,
Do you think; my husband, your wife and our families would notice that we are having a food affair? Not to mention car affair? If not, I will meet you at Pat’s BBQ or any kitchen as needed. You can drive any one of our classic cars there! We have the same passions! Muscle cars/CARS, cooking and meat!

I cannot believe I missed meeting Guy Fieri when he was at Pat’s BBQ last summer filming. I had a massage gig I was working, otherwise I would have been there…with my BBQ bib on!

It was just like New Year’s Eve, waiting for the ball to drop at Time Square. We had the BEST BBQ, fabulous entertainment by Roby Kap Band and Sister Wives, then the anticipation of the airing.

Besides my love of great food and libations…there is the BLUES. I forgot how much I love live Blues music. As my dear old friend, Dan Walker said many years ago “Blues are an inoculation to the soul”.

One of the many things and best things I heard tonight about Pat’s was how he supports the Blues Musicians Community.

Congratulations to Pat, Lulu and all of the staff!

The Never Ending Cold! (The True Story Of My Last Two Weeks)

Thinking back to the weekend before Christmas I had a sore throat. It seemed to go away. However, since San Diego a few weeks ago, I have been suffering through a full on cold. It was bad here and there during the trip.
I thought at first I was over it. Then, a symptom or two would pop up, then another. They would not be all at once, well then there were those days. How can resting, drinking lots of fluids (mainly water or tea or another hot fluid drink – not alcohol) and resting some more not help me kick this thing? I have been eating okay, not really perfectly, but eating greens, citrus, fruits, sigh. I feel almost better and do things only to discover the next day it is still there, haunting me. Joe seems to be untouched by this, perhaps it is that he is the Dillier Super Mutant.
I have been able to avoid most people in fear of spreading my “love”. On the days I felt okay (the pseudo healthy days) when out and about, I have been extra careful to keep my hands washed or sanitized after touching my face, and not cough or sneeze on anyone.
I have managed to these few things in between: do a little house work, work on Christian’s rental, do some massage work, go to look at Pam’s foster (possible adoption – see pics on FlickR) doggie, go to a funeral viewing, go to Susie’s 40th birthday lunch, last night I even went to do some volunteer massages at Sundance.
Tonight I am extremely excited to go to Pat’s BBQ for a party to celebrate the premiere airing of Pat’s on “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives”. Tickets(at door)and more info go to http://www.patsbbq.com/ or call #484-5963. “beginning at 6:00pm for a special BBQ Buffet, and get ready for the broadcast at 8:00pm. The Sister Wives will be playing after the show.” Come down or watch the episode at 8 pm on the Food Network!

Our San Diego Trip with Heidi and Mike

I guess I just don't want to write the whole thing and bore you all like normal. And I have no gumption to write so here is the bare bones summarization. We had fun, relaxed, ate and drank...but walked a lot.
Wednesday/New Year’s Eve – Dinner at Greystone, watched the fireworks on the bay in hallway with neighbors
Thursday/New Year’s Day - USS Midway Tour, dinner at Panevino
Friday – Sailed on “America”, Watched the Utah game at hotel bar, YES!
Saturday – La Jolla, Chargers Game with Kevin in his suite, YES!
Sunday – SeaWorld, Dinner in Coronado at the Boathouse, drinks at the Del
Monday – saw a SeaWorld dolphin in the bay, saw a seal in the bay, flight home

We returned to snow, laundry and work. Reality.

Happy New Year!
