Why I love being a Wilson Creek Wine Club Member # 333:
I received a "Happy Birthday" email from them with all sorts of discounts and specialness. :)
KFuj when are we going this month?

One of the Most Happy Days of the Year!
Annual Performance Appraisals have now officially been completed for my team!!!! I vow to be a better blogger - I have several topics lined up on my "things to blog" list.
I was comparing rating systems with a certain Kim1Champ last week and we agreed that neither system really helps you understand how you rank...especially when everyone typically falls within 2 numbers.
Excellent 4
Very Good 3
Good 2
Marginal 1
Unacceptable 0
5 distinguished
4 exceptional
3 successful
2 partially successful
1 unsuccessful
I much more prefer the blog rating system. I'm sure Andrea Braun will agree with me :)

Happy Birthday to ME! (2009)
Thank you to everyone for all of the birthday wishes, gifts, and fun! Since everyone always asks what I got for my birthday, here you go:
All and all it's been a great birthday so far...I just could have lived with out the blood being drawn at 7:30 this morning and the double mega dose injections this evening...sigh. I hope that the medical mystery that is me is solved while I'm still 28.
Results from today's birthday edition of FFSU coming tomorrow...it's my birthday and I'll judge if I want to!
- Flowers from Striker
- Edible Arrangement from my sister
- Cash from mom, in-laws, and aunt & uncle (to be used towards my new dining room table)
- Ikea gift cards from Rachel and my team at work (dining room table)
- Ann Taylor Loft gift card from Pickle
- Lunch with Rachel, Kim, and Pickle
- Wine Fridge from Mr & Mrs KFuj, also known as my partner in wine tasting/buying crime
- Borders gift card and Twilight DVD when it is released on 3/21 from my counterparts
- Birthday wishes from KFuj and Paula on Striker & the Hot Chicks, as well as 3 birthday Haikus
- And from Queen B, this post and a card to fulfill her New Years' Resolution and probably procrastinate on some sort of school work.
- Get b-day kisses from the furries - check
- Visit Starbucks - check
- Let your phone go straight to voicemail - check
- Eat a cupcake that someone else made for you - double check!
- Fire someone (call me for suggestions) - sadly no, but I thought about several potentials
- Have Olive Garden dinner - did that on Saturday
- Drink wine - added to collection...have a bottle in the fridge for Friday...was too full from food fest today
- Host radio show - did that yesterday
- Get card from Queen B - um, duh? Check
- Have a very happy birthday! - CHECK!

Another Alternative Career
The Queen and I spend a good portion of time contemplating alternative careers, as evidenced both here and here. Recently we've added "customer service critic" to our lists.
First there was Sprint, then Michaels, then Sirius, and now we have Circus Circus.
Twice this month I have stayed at Circus Circus in Vegas because: 1) they were a sponsor of the tournaments that the hubby bowled, 2) it's the closest hotel to the Cashman Center where he bowled other than the Stratosphere and downtown, and 3) it's super cheap.
Yes, I am aware that you generally get what you pay for when it comes to hotels. However, I didn't pick the hotel. ;)
The first time we went, I was less than thrilled with our view. The rooms were kinda dingy, but the beds were okay.
This time, we had a view of the Adventuredome, the rooms was newer/nicer, but the BEDS WERE TERRIBLE!!!! We literally felt every single spring in the mattress. We've never been happier to get back to our own bed last night!
I made Striker promise that we'd NEVER stay at Circus Circus again!
