Things for a Wednesday Morning

1. My adorable lil Beagle, Charlie turns 6 years-old today! Hip hip hooray!

2. Jeff got us hooked up with DirecTv, so now it takes me half an hour to scroll through all the channels and find something to watch. The cool thing is that we now have a plethora of HD channels and a DVR, so I can record anything! So far, I'm loving the "We" channel...I think it stands for "women's entertainment." And I can watch re-runs of The Young and the Restless on the Soap network!

3. The next two days I'm spending out of the office "in the field" so to speak, shopping for items all over the Sacramento area for our wedding gift guide. I have to find at least 40 items from different stores for brides, grooms, bridesmaids and groomsmen. It's going to be a LOT of running around, but thankfully, I finally got my iPhone so it will make finding these stores so much easier! I'm excited! And speaking of weddings, we have three finalists for our summer/fall cover. I met with one of them on Monday to fit her for dresses for the photoshoot. I have to say, it was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. The actual shoot should be a really fun day.

4. Is anyone's body clock a little off since the spring forward time change? I swear it feels like I just can't catch up on my sleep! Jeff makes fun of me for going to bed early (even though I get up before he does), but it is so hard to put myself in bed at 10pm (my desired bedtime). So I usually end up staying up later than I want to.

The Day After

Mostly I like holidays because of their connection to candy, not because they stand for anything I necessarily want to participate in. Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday for candy. I think this is true purely for the simple fact that other than chocolate, all the candy is red and pink. The red and pink flavors are usually the best. Whether the flavor is strawberry, raspberry or cinnamon, the pinks and reds never let me down. My favorite day of the year, and a CandyQueen proclaimed holiday, is the day after Valentine's Day, when all the candy is 50-75% percent off. The day after any candy holiday is good, but V-Day is undoubtedly my favorite. And just for shits & giggles, here is my hierarchy of holidays that bring out the best in sugar.

1. Valentine's Day

2. Easter

3. Christmas

4. Halloween

You may wonder why Halloween is last on my list, when that holiday is *all about candy.* The reason is because other than candy corn (which I do like) there is nothing unique to Halloween candy; just smaller versions of the same 'ol stuff. It excites me the least.
