Welcome to Wine Country

We spent a beautiful autumn afternoon in Amador wine country. The scenery is breathtaking in the foothills this time of year. We sampled wines from 5 vineyards before calling it a day. It's pretty hard to go beyond that unless your spitting, but who wastes good wine?. It's only 38 miles from Sacramento which makes it the perfect day trip. Our favorite was TKC vineyards because the proud owner herself was there to pour the samples and tell us the stories behind the delicious wines. Our friend Peter, the Biologist, was amazed by her fruit fly collection. I, however, was amazed by the 2004 Zinfandel.

Another Reason to Pick Up an Extra Shift

It's that time of year again that make up addicts (like myself)
start stock-piling cosmetics during Sephora's friends & family
discount days. For instance, this lovely Urban Decay palette
will be joining my product collection 20% off of retail price.
Just enter FF2007 as the promo code and you'll receive 20%
off your entire order until November 21st.

As my husband says, "It's like they're
paying you". That's why i went into work yesterday at 4 am
and worked until 7pm. The make up made me do it.
