Party anyone???

Can I just say how much I enjoy entertaining...I have always loved to put parties together, or plan small gatherings. And now, something must be in the air, because I am dying to plan another get together. I just need to come up with a reason. Can someone help me with that? Someone must be having a molar pulled or some kind of something that merits a gathering. I'm open to suggestions.

Or......maybe it's because the other day while blog hopping I came across this blog. It is an entertainers heaven. I have just gone through a few pages and I am in awe of all the great entertaining ideas. It has decorating ideas, recipes, products, birthday party themes, baby shower themes. Please, visit this blog, you will absolutely love it! It will make you want to throw your mail man a party, I swear. Don't say I didn't warn you.

And, since I did happen to entertain over the weekend for my sons Communion. I made some very simple Pomegranate martinis, and I have had four requests for the recipe. Well, I feel silly, because really, they are so easy. They were not very special. I didn't even rim the martini glasses with sugar, and I have lost sleep about that, let me tell you. And I also forgot to yank an actual pomegranate from my backyard so that I can garnish them with. I know, I know, what kind of entertainer am I anyways? I can say this, even though they didn't have sugar rimmed glasses or pieces of pomegranate floating in them, they were very, very good. So here is the simple, but delicious recipe for them. And please, by all means make me look bad and rim those glasses and add some pomegranate pieces to them. I can say this, the other thing that made them so good was the gorgeous martini glasses that I served them in. I have attached a picture. They were gifted to me and unfortunately they are sold out. Here is a link to them, you can try and see if they come in again. Go to Sur La Table, they might get some more.

Two parts pomegranite mix, I bought this one at BevMo.
One part vodka


Mix with ice, serve, and enjoy!

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

Good things come to those who wait...

I was having one of those bad Mondays. One of those Mondays when everything seems to be going wrong. 1. Our phones at the office are not working. 2. Statements went out over the weekend and angry patients are calling to complain. 3. My coffee got cold and I had to throw it away, and now I have a caffeine headache. 4. My cell phone has been tied up all day because I'm having our calls forwarded to it. (good thing for rollover minutes). 5. My boss has just added two more things to my darker pink "TODO" notebook. And just as I was about to roll up in a ball and hide under my desk, I got this e-mail. Dear Kindle Customer, Today, we introduced Kindle 2, the next generation of our wireless reading device.

Where do I begin???

After a long absence from my blog, I am finally sitting down to post. So much has happened in the past month that I honestly don't know where to begin. December 23, 2009 turned my world upside down. My mom suffered a minor heart attack, and was taken by ambulance to Chandler Regional Hospital. When I arrived, she was in good shape, and she was talking. They ordered a CT Scan of her chest. When she got back to the ER from her test, every thing that could have gone wrong, did. She suffered another heart attack, this one was much worse. She was in-tubated and things were not looking very good for her. The next few days were spent waiting for tests to be run, consulting with Dr.s and praying. A lot of praying. We were finally told that she would need to undergo a quadruple bypass. There was a problem with that, because she was in critical condition. Her kidneys were failing, her blood pressure was to high, as was her blood sugar. And, she was to weak. The surgeon said that we would
