1. Salad Dressing: Trader Joe's Champagne & Pear Vinaigrette with Gorgonzola Cheese. It is super tasty with a romaine mix with chicken, walnuts and pears.
2. Red Wine: Kim Crawford Pinot Noir. I am in love with the Kim Crawford vineyard, from New Zealand. Reasonably priced wines and really bold flavors! Can be found at Sam's Club liqour stores at a better price than most wine shops.
3. Reuseable Shopping Bags: I have finally broken my habit of plastic/paper bags and have made the switch to reuseable. They hold more product and they never break! I love the canvas bags from Target.
4. Doggy Daycare: I never thought I would be that person, that obsessed over and sacrificed other things to splurge on the dog. But I'm guilty, Murphy has me suckered into complete submission - no Alpha leader here. I am so happy that we found Pampered Pooch Playground in St Louis Park. The staff there is just the best. They know Murphy by name and get so excited when we drop her off. And when we pick her up, we have a tuckered out puppy (at least for a few hours!).
5. Madonna: You know, the good old Material Girl Madonna. Before Kaballah, Guy Ritchie, bulging biceps, A-Rod and all the other foolishness. We are living in a Material World, and I am a Material Girl.

Happy New Year!
I can only hope that 2009 does not fly by as quickly as 2008. Last year included 3 trips to China, lots of little trips around the country, and a new dog! This year I plan on less travel and more time at home.
Here are some pictures from the past couple weeks as I enjoyed my vacation time with friends and family:
Happy New Year Ya'll!!!!
The best thing to do when stuck at the airport...
is to sit down at Ike's and enjoy The Weekender Bloody Mary. It's fantastic! It's about the only thing that will help pass the time while you wait for another flight to Chicago...after the first flight took off and had to land back at Minneapolis due to mechanical issues.
