Happy Halloween


May your "holiday" be filled with friendly ghosts and gobblins and may you never run out of candy!

We had a visitor this last weekend - Viper Mauss came to stay for a few days. Her Mom forgot her witch Halloween costume, so we just put her in her fleece.

The Fab 4 Take on Sin City!



Las Vegas survived the invasion of the Fabulous Foursome. Our trip started out very early on Friday morning and ended very early on Monday morning. Our trip included lots of laughter, some gambling (but no big winnings), shopping, sunshine for Miss Shelley, eating and of course, drinking. We had very expensive cocktails at the amazing Wynn Hotel/Casino. Who knew you could spend $61 on 4 martinis?! It even "rained men" one night. Miss Lyons played in several poker tournaments and made it to the final table in her last tournament. Way to Go Chrissie! Later that same afternoon we needed a little more adrenaline through our veins so Chris and Kris went on a "loopty-loop". There was even a little education thrown in the mix of our trip, some of us learned a new word: Oligopoly! I dare you to use that in a sentence correctly.

All-in-all it was a FABULOUS trip, but what else would you expect from this group.

Thank you ladies for a great birthday dinner (including wine directly from the bottle) and memories to last a lifetime!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today I turned 38. Wow! How the heck did that happen? Time sure flies! My birthday celebrations started last week with dinner at my Mom's with some of my favorite cousins. I got great earrings from Karen and cool cash from Mom. These photos were taken tonight with my brand new digital camera compliments of The Mauss Group. Thank you Tom & Shelley! I had a great party at work today with lots of sugar! We had dinner tonight at Red Robin, for my free birthday burger. Tim even made me a birthday cake. I got lots of thoughtful gifts, including a relaxing pedicure and adorable shoes with a Terri on Saturday. Kaitlyn gave me a great necklace and Tim is painting our bedroom next weekend as my gift. I HATE to paint, but wanted to change the color. I'm heading to Vegas with the Fabulous Foursome to continue the celebration and Tim will have the room all painted when I return. What a guy! Thanks to everyone who made my birthday so special!
