Why is it that everyone this year wants to put Christ back in Christmas? There is a big push all over the country to stop having Office Holiday Parties and bring back the Christmas theme to all things December – trees are all the rage, creches are flying off the shelves, and even I bought a red dress to wear to the Bar Pilot’s Xmas Party at the Windsor Court (now that I’m not going…
If you are thinking of holiday gifts – here are some ideas where you can look for small and large gifts: Delicious gourmet salt – http://www.philippineseasalts.com/ – nice small hostess type gift package Wine baskets and Scotch from Swirl on Ponce de Leon in MidCity Gorgeous purses, bags, luggage, wallets at Filly Gifts certificates from Lux for massage and personal care (or just go get a massage) – Ponce de Leon in Midcity Jewelry from…
I have received three “gifts” from vendors that I have purchased from in the last year – two broken pens and a 2006 Executive Planner. What’s next?
So if you get together with some friends and all topics of discussion are open, and I make great margaritas (Peter’s Margaritas), and then there are stories to tell and you are suddenly finding yourself falling off the couch cause you’re laughing so hard, would you be wishing to be somewhere else or thinking something might be better than this – not at all – one of those rare nights where everything is funny, even…
Great line by the other Elvis.

I saw Beth and Kerry outside of Lux before going in for my treatments and Beth said to stop in afterwards to taste a Syrah she just got in from Dutton Estates.

So you’ve heard me rave about Swirl – the best wine shop and bar in town, and you’ve heard me rant about MOE’s the lame attempt to replace Whole Food and now defunct grocery store – but yesterday I tested our new salon and had the BEST massage ever by Lara at Lux and today had a pedicure by Courtney and waxing by Erin – all perfect.
