Les Miserables…with Laurie…..

001

We had to wait in line but it was well worth it…Glad we got there early…

002

Got a refill on my ‘large’ popcorn and then went into Armani Exchange to get a bag for the bag.  You get the idea…don’t you?

Later at Katsuya…delicious dinner and time to open ‘Presenting You’  Laurie’s fantabulous new book hot off the presses.  Yippee!!

006 

Here’s Laurie’s book:

Americana all sparkly…

Thank you Laurie for thinking of me in such a beautiful way…..I’ll try to take very good care of this treasure!

Sandie and Jim at Far Niente on Brand in Glendale where we had a relaxing dinner before seeing Lincoln.

016

For you foodies… Parmigiano Reggiano and imported Jamon serrano..yum, yum!

018

Waiting for Lincoln….the L.A. Times had an interesting article Monday about the ending of the movie saying it would have been better leaving it when Lincoln is walking down the hallway….you know where he is headed.  I think I agree.  Other than that it was just about a near perfect movie.  I’ll see it again.

Kita’s new job (she’s a ‘working’ dog after all)is waiting sentry style for the new neighbor’s Yorkies…..she’s obsessed by them.

025

Getting ready for New Year’s eve dinner…..

027

Made the stuffing the day before….it’s sooo good!

028

Thank you Mr. Turkey….you gave your all and we sure appreciate it.

029

I love having the neck for lunch……shared with Vicki.

031

Poor Kita….so near….so far…..

033

Ready set….into the oven with you….

034

Vicki said that we needed to have 13 pieces of fruit (they’re all there) for a New Year’s blessing.

038

Yams with all sorts of good stuff, cranberries, oranges, nuts, lots of butter & spices.

039

I had quite a few ripe avocado’s sooooo…….

040

Congratulations to me….I didn’t burn the turkey….it came out just perfect as I did not use the ‘convection’ setting this time!

O.K., you probably know how great these table favors are.  Besides our paper crowns with musical scores printed on them, there were little horns in each.  Everyone gets a number and then the conductor (me) points his baton to various ‘numbers’ to play the tunes.  It’s so much fun because it gets quite confusing and people don’t always come in on cue so the laughing begins and the whole thing falls apart.

042

Examining the little horns (they come in various sizes to make the different pitches).

043

Vicki had the longest……she was #1.

045

Charles was number 2 and did quite well.

047

I of course love to toot my horn!!!!  (No comments please.)

048

Remembering the Stork Club as 2013 begins……

035 Cheers for the New Year!
