Bangs....Or NO Bangs? That is the Question

Seems to be the trend in Hollywood?

Ok...So next week I made an appointment to get my haircut..

I have never been so nervous...I guess because my wedding is coming up and I want to make sure if something goes wrong I can fix it. However with that being said I am not loving my hair these days. It is BLAH and BORING..so the other day my friend came over to meet me for lunch and voila she had bangs and it looked so good and her hair was about the same length as mine and the layers were amazing. She goes to a salon in San Raphael so immediately I got the number and called an made an appointment. So....I am debating whether or not I should do the bangs...maybe he will no best. I haven't had bangs since the 7th or 8th grade change is always good! So tell me what you think...should I go for bangs?

Is Spring Around The Corner? Winter isn't too bad in Wine Country...

So...I just love this time of year in wine country...other than the rain we are getting this year, however we need it!

The other day Nick and I were at Bouchaine Winery in Carneros and the mustard was absolutely gorgeous! The Napa & Sonoma Valleys are just covered with mustard right now! It is so pretty. I love all the different seasons here! There is beauty in all the seasons!

How Does Your Town Look this time of year?

Amazing

Last night Nick and I had an amazing opportunity to dine at The Village Pub in Woodside, California.

It was truly an Amazing Experience! The Restaurant was unbelievable!

Woodside is the cutest little town about 30 minutes South of San Francisco off 280.

I just fell in love with the town.

I have to say it is in my top 5 of fabulous restaurants!

Nick and I are so fortunate to be in this business and have these experiences!

I just love going out to fancy dinners and having amazing service, fabulous food and incredible wines!

Thank you Max for an amazing evening!!!

Cheers!

Happy Belated 3rd Birthday Allison!!!

Dance...Dance..Dance...All Night Long...

Well, Well, Well.....Tonight is Dance Lessons...To dance or not to dance?

I am so exhausted! I have literally been going, going, going and I really don't want to go to dance lessons tonight! I know I should but I am exhausted and I don't feel so great? What to do?

It is fun though! So far we have learned Fox Trot, East Coast Swing and last week we started the TANGO...Love the tango...but I enjoy dancing in general! There is a great group of us doing it! Something fun!

Alright.....TTFN...Kell~

Paying for their mistakes........Irritating...Such is life.....

Well, Well, Well.....Another penalty to us!
I just found out that my bank is raising their fees because of the "mortgage crisis" I am so over this and I have to vent for a minute! First of all where did these banks get off loaning people money that couldn't afford it? I don't know how you could buy a home without any money? Clearly that never made any sense to me but sure enough they just kept giving money away! I feel really bad for people that have lost there homes but truly I believe this is a case of Americans trying to keep up with the Joneses and living outside of their means! It is truly ridiculous. When I was younger I too thought I could just spend, spend, spend but as I have gotten older and realized what it cost to have a family, raise children and all the other expenses in life you can't just go charge, charge, charge...we have become a society of charges and loans and I remember as a little girl my grandmother telling me you don't buy something unless you can pay for it! Charge cards are for emergencies only and you need to be able to pay those off every month! Well..I didn't listen to her when I was younger because "I knew everything" but now I realize what she is saying...and have been living my life this way for the last 3-4 years. I don't buy it unless I have the money in the bank for it and I am saving my money for the future! I think Americans need to go back to this and quit living on credit and loans. It is crippling our economy right now and everyone's sense of well being because whether we like it or not guess who has to bail all these fabulous mortgage companies and banks out....You guessed yours truly we Americans! Even if we didn't participate and play their game you and I are going to pay. Isn't this lovely...with rising health care cost, gas prices sky rocketing and an economy that is in the toliet we have a lot to look forward to in the next couple of years!!!! I hope this teaches everyone a lesson though and we can learn from the mistakes these past few years and our government won't allow this to happen again!

As my grandpa use to say...."SAVE YOUR BUCKS"

p.s. I would like to leave you with a quote from an Analyst at Citi Bank
With the U.S. banking industry reeling from the housing slump that is forcing it to get tougher on borrowers and sock away billions of dollars toward existing loans that likely won't be repaid, banks are ravenous for more fee income. Unless there is an unexpectedly fast rebound from the current woes, additional fee increases are on the way, analysts predict.
"If you need to hit your target, one of the easiest ways to do it is to raise your fees," says Keith Horowitz, a banking analyst at Citigroup Inc. "It falls straight to the bottom line."

Here's to paying HIGHER FEES!!!!
