Happy New Year! wait... not yet.
It’s New Years Eve!
I can’t believe the Holidays are over… that this year is over… That this DECADE is over. Although technically, I heard on NPR, that the decade isn’t really over until the END of 2010 and all the mathematicians are going crazy, but for all us dummies, this is definitely the beginning of something new!
But let’s leave all of the new...
This is what happens at my work when the home office sends a mass email with an attachment that won't open. Seriously, this happens every time. I changed the names for the sake of the people involved, and for the company...
Home Office: Please see the attachment.
FR1: Doesn't open.
FR2: I can not open this locator as well. Big John
FR1: Still doesn’t open.
FR3: Same
FR4: Do not reply all
FR5: Please quit replying to all….
FR6: Agree. Everyone - Please stop replying all.
FR7: Totally agree.
FR8: ya
FR9: Please stop using the "REPLY TO ALL" - I guess that includes me!!!
FR 10: ENOUGH! No more agreeing, no more replying all!!! DO NOT REPLY TO THIS!
FR 11: right
FR 12: Done.
FR 13: Gentlemen, Spend seeing some new prospects. You aren't buying insurance from each other. Regards, FR 13
FR 14: PLEASE STOP! TAKE ME OFF THE EMAIL. I AM TRYING TO WORK. THANKS, FR 14
FR 15: likewise
FR 16: This is ridicules. Stop relying to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Warm regards, FR 16
FR 17: LOL. I am phoning in between, but this is pretty hilarious.
FR 18: Did you mean, replying?
FR 19: Did you mean ridiculous.
FR 20: You're (me, too) gonna bust the system and somebody's gonna be real mad. We who are doing this must need some comic relief on this particular Tuesday.
FR 21: What is the meaning of this?
FR 22: You are just saying that because when I open my email from the home office there is a fat man in a little coat....
FR 23: I think the real question is: what is the meaning of life?
FR 24: HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP us All
FR 25: Get me off this email!!!!
FR 26: Hey guys, can you please stop replying to me. You don't even have the right *FR 26* and I've gotten like a million emails from you guys. Thank you!
FR 27: Please take me off of this list, and please stop replying to all.
FR 28: This is annoying to say the least. Please stop!
FR 29: Me as well I would appreciate it. I'm in the business of helping people (Don't keep me a secret!!)
FR 30: STOP REPLYING TO ALL...IT WILL LIKELY CRASH OUR EMAIL SYSTEM AND THEN YOU CANT ENTERTAIN YOURSELVES BY REPLYING TO ALL
FR 31: Knuckleheads stop e-mailing to all
FR 32: Stop...our computer and cell phones are getting maxed on memory space!!
FR 33: Please stop
FR 34: Yes, we desperately need reps in NC. NC FR's sit around and trade emails all day. Nobody sells anything.
FR 35: Craziness
FR 36: DO NOT REPLY ALL TO DIVIDEND EMAIL
Home Office: We are working on fixing the attachment. We will send an updated version out as soon as it is fixed. Please terminate “reply to all”. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Ohh office humor.
Alright Melissa, which "FR" are you?

Leather and Lipstick
I came across these balls-out outfits drenched in two cold-weather musts: leather and dark red lipstick. With so much talk of past endeavors involving costumes, I felt obliged to reiterate the thought.
Back to school outfit Amy?

Holy Cow we have Tumblr Friends. Who knew??
Not us. They kept it a secret. Shame on you girls.
Love you Alex and Jamee.

Congratulations Callie!
I wanted to take some time between Christmas posts to congratulate our good friend Callie on graduating from the Design Institute of San Diego. After four strenuous years, she made it out alive and can now join us in the post-grad journey to that pined-after success we all see in our not-so-distant futures (and with any luck, will not turn out to be just a mirage).
In her honor, The Barcelona...

WatchThis was taken in celebration of Dan’s birthday (he’s the one in the purple sweater) after great deal of whiskey. We were going to go out, but clearly there was nothing out there for us more entertaining that a Brit gettin’ down to some classic country. Mike steals the show with the moonwalk though.
Hams. and we love them.

Too Early for Springporn?
I don’t know about you but I am already over this rainy weather. Too early to be thinking of spring, you say? I THINK NOT.
Feast your eyes on our Tour de Delicious of just this spring past - just doin’ like good nor-Cal ladies should. We began with champagne and wine tasting at the regal Domaine Carneros, and finished off with a picnic at Petaluma Cheese Factory.

Santa ruined Christmas
Meet Violet, Mike’s baby cousin. Violet has adorned our refrigerator many times this past year with her adorableness. Violet recently had her 1st birthday. Violet has red hair and will soon be an older sister. Violet also hates Santa Clause.
Below she portrays her true feelings for jolly, bearded men in my favorite photo yet, all the while, still embodying adorableness.

Jason Wu, feel free to dress me anytime. Pre-Fall, 2010.

Mr.Wu sure knows how to make a zombie look good.
-Mel
Oscar wanted to play with the zombies too!
It’s so flattering! I mean, who needs to look alive when you’ve got a dress like that.

The Wild Things are in Joshua Tree
National Park in Palm Desert CA that is.

I knew this would be something our group would love considering it involves A)Costumes, B)Drinking, C)Hiking, and lastly D)The perfect setting for some good ol’ feeling sharing (and if...

The Hubby is starting to talk kids. His biological clock starts ticking uncommonly fast during the Holidays. I can definitely put kids off for a few more years (at least until the Hubs is out of law school) and especially since we already have a pretty big family.
(That’s my segue into gratuitous pictures of my pups!)
-Mel
What a beautiful family. Loki with the bowtie,...

Ski School
Time to break out those mulling spices and union suits, its ski season! Ladies Dec. 18th is slated to be opening day at Homewood, our favorite place to ski bunny out.
Mel -
I think you should print out that last one and make another ornament. Thank goodness for the treasures found in untouched cabin closets…
Dan had another good find which he is modeling below: rawr!

Don't call it a crisis...
Over the past year I have become involved in an unabashed love affair. I have found myself putting down roots, forking over 20% and for now abandoning girlhood dreams of the past. Being the eternally single gal within a group of commitment centric friends has allowed me the opportunity to wander off and independently discover what it is that makes me happy as opposed to what should make me...

Soup Spot Stakeout
Okay, it’s freezing. Winter has officially made herself known here in Sacramento, and she’s a frigid b***h.
Winter here would probably seem like a beach holiday to those in places such as Montana and the like, but the problem here is no one is prepared for the chill, especially when it gets to the low 30’s (someone in Lincoln, Nebraska is laughing hysterically at that...

Love you dad!

See, Sacramento is great
Oh my Laura look who was just one block from my house last night for the California Hall of Fame induction!!!
How did I miss this!? Oh, it might have been due to the entire bottle of wine I drank at Melissa’s instead. Damn it.

I’m just glad that we didn’t find out about this last night after a bottle of wine, some beers and a hottie tottie. We surely would have been...
Quirky Kiwis - Can't Help But Love 'Em
Well, I’ve returned from heaven on earth. Yes, it was amazing. Yes, I was gawking non-stop at all the cool s*** we found. Yes, I made a run for the exit at the airport when I should have been boarding the plane headed home. Yes… NZ was everything I needed out of a vacation and more:
