Belly Up to the Bar With Bendy and Her Friendies!!! Button Pics & New Thread Started!

[whogirl'smom]

We are all spending a wonderful snow day off watching the inauguration today. We got about 2-3 inches of snow yesterday, a little melted, then another couples inches last night, so we are out of school! Even DH took the day off (very hard to maneuver our vending trucks on icy streets). I am actually glad that school is out because I had planned on picking Olivia up for lunch early to let her come home and watch the innauguration. I just think it is such a momentous occasion that I want her to remember seeing it, even if she doesn't understand the importance until later. I told her this last night, and she said "How old will I be when I understand it?"

And to also pay homage to the wonder of brandy milk punch:

A "Punchy" Limerick

There once was a girl from Stinktown
Who in order for her sorrows to drown,
Mixed mixed milk, sugar and brandy
And declared it quite dandy.
But she drank too much and promptly fell down!

Cheers, y'all! Have a great day!

This pretty well sums up how Jay and I think, too. We don't go to Vegas for the gambling ... we go for the food! And I'm still going to do everything in my power to get us out there in May 2010 for Jay's 40th birthday. We desparately want to try Joel Robuchon's uber-fancy-schmany Mansion ... the one with the 16-course tasting menu priced at $385 per person.

This is a you only live once kinda thing! Go for it! The best meal we had in Vegas was the Chefs table at Delmonico's. The meat sweats were the BEST!

I couldn't find much info on it. Do you have a link for any? Such as the wineries that were there last year?

Is for tickets this year and

this is the link to the wines. It everything they have on the list and they have it set up from right to left in the room Sparkling to Port. They also have a buffet that looked great at the back but we ate before!

Brenda, When you do it, you do go all the way don't you?

I'm thinking I'm going to have a tough time convincing Bob for the same reason. It wouldn't be a cheap trip that's for sure!

I agree with Brenda!
Vegas isn't an inexpensive trip but now with the hotel deals I have been getting it's a good time to go and as she said they do have some places that are not $500 a person to head to!

Ok... and to follow up on Bendy's hillarity!!!

(yes... I know...it's silly and stupid... but we LOVE the Muppets...)

This isn't stupid! I love me some Muppets! Thanks!

And best random quote from an unintentional moment in Animal Crossing ..

Yea!!! It seems like the same day that I wonder where you've been you pop right up ... it must be those Midwestern vibes!!

Glad you're here, Deb! And are you planning a trip to WDW this fall? This will be our last until 2011 at least. I would love to finally meet up with you!

We're going on a Disney cruise Oct 31. We do plan to spend a couple days at F&W on either end. I'm sorry that we will just miss each other again this year. Your planned meet sounds like so much fun. I'm jealous of those who get to participate.

I never plan these things at the right time.

Oh yeah! Mr Responsibility over here, has been killing me lately! He starting talking budget again! He even had the nerve to mention the grocery & wine cost.

Tell him the wine budget goes too far!
Wine is the magic that keeps us going

I thought it was "Life's too short to Dance with Ugly Men???"

And....

"Those who live in Glass Houses shouldn't have ugly furniture..."

I don't dance ... that would spoil everyone's appetite.
