The simple things in life

Yes, I am dedicating an entire blog post to talk about Smucker's Uncrustables. I am a HUGE fan of PBJ sandwiches, so a co-worker brought me an Uncrustable to try today. At first I wondered how a thawed sandwich in a plastic wrapper could taste good? Holy cow, was I wrong! I am not sure how something so simple could taste so delicious. There is about 210 calories in one little sandwich, but so worth it. Plus, the crust is already removed.! Call me crazy, but I am going to my local grocer and buying a pack of these tasty treats! I suggest you do the same.

Manic Monday

What a day! We are only 12 days into 2009 and it's already getting insane at work. I feel like everyone goes into hibernation during the month of December and have now finally woke up! GO back to sleep! I am headed down to Tucson tomorrow to meet with my client, MDA. I am not too excited for the drive, but I am excited for El Torrito! We just found out today that we will soon be working with a new client in the restaurant industry. I am stoked, those are my favorite accounts!

So, Chad and I are thinking about buying a new puppy! Right now, we are leaning towards a Boxer. They seem to have every trait we are looking for in a dog. They are great with kids, protectors, active, and most importantly, they don't shed. I've found a couple of breeders on azcentral and I think we are going to go check the pups out on Saturday. I absolutely love dogs and I've been wanting one for so long. Don't worry Jackster, you will always be my first love!

On a side note, I just got distracted watching The Bachelor. These women are CRAZY! I couldn't imagine a more torturous experience than to be trapped in a house with yapping, obnoxious, big-boobed, territorial, snatches. Ugh. Annoying. Does that stop me from watching this show? Absolutely not! Luckily, Jason is nice to look at.

Costa Rica

I've been meaning to post a blog about our honeymoon and I am little past due. Costa Rica was amazing! I could definitely get use to waking up each morning sipping a cup of Costa Rican coffee with a backdrop of the Pacific Ocean and lush green landscape.

There is something very special about Costa Rica and that's the people. They open their arms and welcome each tourist into their small country. Besides sugar cane, the thriving tourism industy is what makes Costa Rica flourish. The locals are very aware of how important great hospitality is and it truly shows. I found it slightly disturbing that multi-million dollar homes lined the cost of Costa Rica, and were clearly second or third homes for wealthy Americans and Canadians, while many of the locals lived in very small shack-like structures.

There is so much to do in Costa Rica. The first day Chad and I rented a car and explored some of the nearby beach towns. The second day we took a great tour that included zip-lining, horseback riding, natural hot springs, volcano's, you name it. The rest of the trip was spent relaxing by the pool and on the beach, riding jet skis, playing tennis, taking a sunset cruise. It was amazing. More importantly, I was forced to relax and soak in every second of the trip with Chad.

One thing I could go without, the local food! Not to desire. However, we went to a tapas restaurant suggested in Frommers called, Ginger. Very cool decor and delicious food!

All in all, our honeymoon was amazing!
