Well, it has been so long since I have done any blogging! Life passes you by so quickly without you realizing it. Let’s see, I worked a lot during christmas time since that is the busiest time in retail business. I got Julie & Julia movie as a christmas gift along with Julia Child’s cookbook. So I decided to go ahead and make the same dish Julie made in the movie and burned it! It’s is called: Boeuf Bourguignon (beef stew in red wine, with bacon, onions and mushrooms). I made it for new year’s eve dinner party. People loved it and had seconds and thirds. The recipe was simple to follow but time consuming. If you haven’t made this dish, you should give it a try and while you at it, watch the movie. It is great!!

On Woman’s Club front, it has been a busy new year. I am the new chair for our Int’l Affairs department and I am glad that the previous chair is in my committee and agreed to be the co-chair. I was panicking there for a while. It should be a new challenge for me as I have not been a chair before. I also agreed to be Relay for Life team captain this year. I was the co-captain last year so this is more responsibilities for me now. I have to say I really enjoy doing Relay for Life and it is one of the projects of Home Life that I am glad we participate at. If they asked me again next year to be the captain, I will say yes… Well, our RFL event is March 26-27 at Greco Middle School again in Temple Terrace, FLorida. As I said before, it is a wonderful event and I just found out last night at one of the captain’s meetins, that I will be one of 5 people who would read a poem during the Luminaria ceremony. I am actually looking forward to that although I have always been shy in public speaking but I thought why not, it is for a great cause. My team has made 75% of our goal as of today which is great and I am proud of them. I personally made cupcakes again this year and sold quite a bit of them. So we are doing just fine. Relay for Life theme this year is: Toon Out Cancer so each team had to pick a cartoon theme and we decided to go with “Casper the friendly ghost”. ALthough my first choice was olive oil and popeye since eveyone thinks I look a little like olive oil!!!!!!

Well, I think I’ll sign off now. I promise I will write soon….
