Sit, Relax..Let's Catch up...
So many things, so little time. Have a seat, let's play catch up around here... . my back has been acting up, had an epidural shot last week- WHOA...don't think I will ever do that again. I know I gave birth, twice in fact, but geez Louise, that sucker hurt...and I think it has now irritated the monster that has been living in my back even more. I'm going to leave the restless beast alone for a while. My doctor says the disc is so bad that I need surgery, and wants to insert 3 titanium screws, but I think I will get a 2nd, 3rd and 4th opinion!
Wriskey™ Business is *cRaZy* and I want to thank all of you for being such great supporters! We started a Wriskey Girl photo pool on flickr. We thought it would be cool to see creative shots of you creative people using your Wriskey or wearing your tee's, just upload them here and they will appear on the front page of my blog, at random and everytime the page is re-freshed. Pretty cool! We plan to have contests/prizes (we love prizes don't we!?) for the most creative shots. If you don't like having your photo taken, then maybe snap a shot of your baby chewing on your Wriskey, etc...(or something like that, my brain is fried right now, so I am not being too creative!). Sweet Gail sent us a shot of her reminding hubby that Valentine's Day is soon approaching, take a peek . Too cute! Can't wait to see all of you Wriskey Girls!
I know everyone LOVES giveaways, so make sure you stop by my friends blogs who are having super fabulous ones, Chris at Tutti Chic's Blog and Janet over at Shabby FuFu Great ladies giving away great stuff!
I know I am forgetting a half a million other things I wanted to tell you all, but there is always another day and another post. I think it's time too for another Tara TV post? My son wants to try something different this time, I might let him run with it, we'll see, stay tuned! I'm off to browse your blogs and see what you have been up to~xo
It's here! Romantic Country Magazine. What a lovely issue...jam packed with all things romantic and chic. Love seeing my friends at 
My dear friend sent it to me with so much love and care, I thank her from the bottom of my heart! I'm a dancing fool, singing my songs extra loud, and repeatedly being told by my kids what a horrible singer I am. 
Another big surprise came from hubby, beautiful diamond small hoop earrings! He also cooked a wonderful dinner and made a chocolate cake. (Did I mention he is an excellent cook and probably should have been a chef!) The kids made me their precious handmade cards, which I treasure and always save them in my memory boxes.
you are greeted by a calm and relaxed hostess (you think she would be frazzled) I know she has been cooking and preparing all week long, making everything from scratch (right down to the desserts, including homemade ice cream!) Her giant dining room table is beautifully set for 22 people. Nothing is spared, we each have a handmade place card, a valentine box with goodies inside, and each setting has a gift bag with our names on it. 
The lighting is just right, candles are everywhere. Music is perfectly set and pumped throughout each room (thanks to an integrated audio system with small speakers built into each room's ceiling) She loves to mix up the guests, so your place card is not next to your husband. In fact, my husband was clear down the other end of the table. But it's ok, you get to talk people you wouldn't normally mingle with while standing around having appetizers. Sitting down next to them, you get to know them better. Under each place setting was a tiny piece of paper with our name, with a sentence written on it. (some were crazy things most people would never say and things I could never type here!) Our hostess announced that we had to work the sentence into our dinner conversation and whoever did it best would win a beautiful Waterford crystal decanter. She held it up and showed everyone like a Price Is Right showgirl. Needless to say my crazy hubby won...here's how...When all drinks were poured and our salads were served...he proposed a toast to our hosts, I was thinking (from way down the table) "wow, I taught him really nice manners", then he blurted out his sentence in the toast (like I said... I can't repeat!) and I was mortified, but everyone cracked up and he won hands down! As a surprise, she also had pictures of each guest attending, blown up and put into a gallery in the billiard room. 
She found the most horrible pictures of each of us from past parties(on purpose) BUT she had a beautiful picture of herself and her husband in the middle! It was great to laugh at each other looking ridiculous! By the end of the night, we took a marker to her picture and you can only imagine what it ended up looking like. 
The night was ended by a fun dice game and you only needed 3 dollars to play- my kind of game!
Anyway, I don't know why I am obsessed with the show or trying to figure out the big mystery. After I watch it, I always have a migraine from thinking too much and I end up having bad dreams all night long! I think the writers of the show mess with the minds of us loyal followers, don't you? I won't give up on it though, I'm in too deep, PLUS, I need my weekly dose of Fox (even if he wasn't on the show last night!)
