Dear Erin and Cece,

Thank you so much for: all the hysterical laughes (my abs (what abs?) are still sore), the funny facebooking incidents, falling, awkwardness, ramp building, match making, drinking, cooking (late night anyone?), movie watching, picture taking, and did I mention laughing??? It was by far the funniest Thanksgiving break (what break?) that I have ever had! Love you both!!!
I am also thankful and so lucky to have all my amazing friends and family! I hope everyone enjoyed an equally fabulous Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Fiesta








Thanksgiving was such a great time with Erin here!!! We had our own feast(esta) at our home sweet home! Cece made broccoli cheese casserole and potato salad, I made a brie bundle, green bean bundles, and breakfast casserole, and our friend Livy brought a turkey and stuffing. We built our first fire and watched the Cowboys win!! We were supposed to go to an afterparty and were too full to make it. We were all in bed around 11 pm! It was great fun for all. Here are some pics.

I arrived Tuesday afternoon into Aspen and we went to Happy Hour for drinks and great catching up time. We also had some classic prank call action. We ended up getting a ride home in the freezing cold by the Hotel Jerome Shuttle...what a nice driver!
On Wednesday, Kelly Ann and Cece worked and I did some shopping in town and had lunch at my new favorite place, Jour De Fete. We went out that night and saw a DJ at Belly Up...it was SOOOOO FUN!!
Turkey Day was a great time with great people and great food. We of course ate too much and ended up in I ended up in turkey coma.
On Friday I did some hiking, met Cece for a walk with the kids, met Kelly Ann for lunch at the Big Wrap, and watched a great lifetime movie. We went out for drinks that night and appetizers at The J Bar...loooove the locals discount. We then went to Bad Billy's and met some intresting characters.
On Saturday...my last day...tear! Cece and I went in town and saw Kelly Ann busy at work, then all three of us had a great lunch, and then back to Texas I went.

I had an absolutely fantastic time and I can NOT wait to come back...the sooner the better!!!

I hate Zane's


We are officially giving Zane's Tavern a bad review and not recommending it. The bar tender was the rudest, meanest, crudest we have ever experienced. KA and I were appalled and do not suggest anyone to go there!

A) He acted like our request for cocktails in a short glass was the stupidest thing he had ever heard and then informed us they have no short glasses. I'm soooory...is it 2009 and are we in Aspen?? Yeah I think it is! Not acceptable!

B) He then asked us to remove ourselves from our seats because he claims the seats were taken...ummm I think last I checked if there is not a drink/purse/coat/etc. holding the place then it is available! And let me assure you the bar was pretty much empty and there were plenty of empty seats!


C) We then gave him the option to repent from his bad behavior and he practically laughed in our faces!

D) Never ever have we not left tips before but felt this was justified. No worries though he tipped himself...we both discovered it on our bank statements yesterday! REALLY!?!

E) I hope everybody knows that of course Kelly Ann and I were on our best behavior and using our best manners the entire time! We had no right to be treated in such a appalling fashion!

F) It wasn't just us...we talked to some locals who had some not so nice things to say about the bartender at hand!

So next time you are in Aspen avoid Zane's at least on Friday nights cause that is the barbaric excuse for a bartender's regular shift!


On another note...Tomorrow is moving day!!! Keep you posted!

Feeling Ghoulish.......


Here are some pics from Halloween. Our dear friend, Ashley Sunderland, drove in from Denver to trick-or-treat with us. We had a blast.














Cece was the wicked witch from the south, Ashley was Tina Turner minus Ike, and I was a Bella (vampire) Skeleton. We had WAYYYY too much fun. We began the night at La Cantina, made a pit stop at J Bar, and on to Eric's, where the real party started.
