So Kurt bought me these earrings. And because Kurt is the intellectual fact guy it is so fitting that they are jewelry with a historical background....thank you "Professor Wallace"....:-) He got them to match my new "Susan Jane Rockford" style....

Erin got me this eco cup...two reasons i love it....it holds coffee and its green!

and these! I LOVE

and this to pay tribute to the time i ate donuts in the bathroom in LA. okay maybe i have a problem. im working on it....at least we can joke about it and buy magnets like this...lol

Thanks everyone!!!!! I really appreciate it!

Happy Bday Dinner at Le Cirque!

So Kurt took me to a fancy dinner for my birthday. The Pinnacle does a night at Le Cirque once a week. Its famous in NYC and the chef has an arrangement with Holland America- where they do it on board the ship. Its twice the price of the normal pinnacle- but it was well worth it! Well...Kurt paid- he said it, and I , was well worth it!

the menu

the fun plates

mmmm- salad. with lobster tail!

soup....creamed corn with other stuff i cant remember but it was delish!

Lamb...with mushrooms and a goat cheese potato thing- it was AMAZING!

when the creme brulee was done you got the recipe!

Unfortunately this was the day my back was hurting so bad. I had trouble sitting through dinner and then we got up to leave i couldn't walk- i was in terrible pain and couldn't do anything. Kurt took care of me and got the doctor....Jess found out and so decided to come by and give me her presents for my bday- stuff from the health food store! I love it....then Kurt whipped out the fudge he bought me as well- and we had a little party to cheer me up!

Mushing Adventure!

So I got to go on the shore excursion to the Musher's Camp. I got to see all the dogs and go for a ride. I learned about the Iditorod race and about the dogs and how they are bred and how they are trained for these races. The dogs are exceptionally smart! It was an honor to meet them :-)
