Not MIA just Busy

Sorry that I have not been able to post because I am so busy right now. Because I am going to Costa Rica in less than 3 week, I am working like crazy to line up everything in my work and personal life so that maybe things wont fall apart while I am gone. I am really looking forward to my break from the fray but I plan to bring my laptop so I will be connected. I have some pictures that I need to post too...maybe tomorrow night ;-)

XOXO

Addis!

Rest in Peace Uncle Henry

My great uncle Henry went home to glory yesterday at 3am after a fight with stomach cancer. Henry is my grandmothers "one-brotha" as she likes to call him and he was 78 years old. My family is currently in discussion over whether he should be buried this weekend or if they will wait until Tuesday for my Mom and his sister to make it (he wanted to be buried Costa Rican style...the day after you die).

Tia Ana said that in this last week, he keep talking about my wedding and how happy it made him to attend. You see none of his children ever married and he thinks of me as his grand daugther. I am so glad that we were fortunate enough to have a wedding that was accessible to all who wanted to come. May DH and I get to have a 50 year love affair like Henry and Ana...I already got just the bottle of wine to celebrate if we make it that far!

Ze Grill

Here is the grill that I like:

I need a portable just in case I finally make it down to the Jersey shore to Seaside Heights this summer. I know that people really hate on Jersey but I am willing to put the shore and its Funnel Cakes up against any beach in NY, MA and CT...plus it don't cost me $8 to get there , hehe!

I forgot to mention...

somebody just got me the Frydaddy off my registry! So I am going to try fried chicken again and see what happens...hehe. I am also in the market for a grill to put on my balcony. Yes, your read correctly, I am putting a grill on the balcony because we black...hehe!

Random Things

Hi All,
I am happy to report that I got more thank you cards done this week and I am now down to like 15 not counting the wedding party. I did thank you notes and gifts to the wedding party before the wedding so I just need to mail everyone pictures. My goal is to get all wedding stuff done before I leave to CR because once I get back it is almost summer and I will be totally unmotivated. I know that my postings are sporadic because I have no free time thanks to work but what's a girl gonna do? I made the decision to marry for love instead of for mone so sucky work weeks are all part of the deal...hehe!
I still only have one wall in my entry way painted which is soo sad! I also am thinking about creating a little garden on my balcony...why? I killed bamboo before but we aint gonna talk about that. So I leave you with a snapsjot from superbowl at the Jones house....
