Neil Patrick Harris
Tuesday, January 06, 2009 | 0 Comments
Neil Patrick Harris in a song list? What the hell does Neil Patrick Harris sing? At first I thought, perhaps there is another Neil Patrick Harris? Maybe there is a band that named themselves Neil Patrick Harris? It's totally plausible. I could see NPH totally digging that.
But NO! It's the real deal! The real NEIL effin PATRICK HARRIS!
SINGING!!!!
And it gets better. It's a whole wonderful, magical, hilarious operetta!
Thank you Heather!!
Note: This take a bit to load and is a 45 minute show, BUT IT SOOOO WORTH IT!!

It thrills me when I turn people on to Dr. Horrible!! YAY!! I'm glad you liked it! I think it's amazing! We made my family watch it on Christmas Eve and they were lukewarm in their reception of it. Don't understand how I ended up being related to them!! ha! Hope you have a great 2009!!

OMG Heather! This really started off my new year right!
I emailed it to my family and friends. -
Sylvana: Sending you all the best for your weekend! :D)

Michael, thanks Michael!
New Year
Sunday, January 04, 2009 | 0 Comments
Celebrated my 17th anniversary with my awesome husband, SSB!
I had to turn down yet another fantastic job offer.
Planned a trip for the family to go overseas.
I completed a wholesale switch at work.
I got my taxes done in APRIL!! Earliest EVER!
Celebrated SSBs graduation from college.
Whipped our pharmacy into shape for accreditation.
Traveled overseas with the family for over three weeks using only carry on!
I met Lyvvie and her fabulous family.
I got my family passes to Stonehenge's inner circle!
Obama won!! and I helped.
JD, my wonderful son, turned 16!!
Our pharmacy got accredited!
And I got my best bowling game EVER!
I decided that I needed to celebrate all that awesomeness with a party. We invited a dozen people over to ring in the New Year. I made SO MUCH FOOD! And everyone brought food as well -- we're still eating it! I made apple brie flatbread, humus, bruschetta, pico de gallo and we had mixed olives, Pepperidge Farm cookies, mixed cheeses and crackers, various wines, various beers, and various ginger ales and ginger beers (I found the best ginger beer outside of Scotland -- Main Root Ginger Brew. Absolutely fabulous!). Guests brought falafel, salmon cakes, buffalo wings, salsa, tzatziki, praline pecans, and various other goodies. [You will be able to find recipes for all my offerings in the "Sylvana Recipes" drop-down in the sidebar].
One of our guests, Obi, is always worried that he will break our wine glasses, and I hate to have him drink out of plastic cups, so we had gone on a special mission to find unbreakable wine glasses. Mission accomplished at Target. They have a whole line of wonderful acrylic "glass"ware, located with their real glass counterparts. Picked them up for $2.99 each! When he arrived, I showed him the wine glass. He was really excited. I decided to demonstrate it's unbreakability to get rid of any doubt, so I whacked it on the piano bench. His wife yelped and nearly fell over she was so startled; she thought I had a real wine glass. Hilarious! Obi said the look on her face was priceless. See, I've given them a memory that they can cherish forever. And the acrylic wine glass really is tough -- not even a mark on it!
Since we have been too busy to show our trip pictures, we doubled the party as a slide-show party too (by demand, I swear!). We discovered that the Wii is also great for showing slide-shows on your TV. The resolution was far better than the DVD that we burned for the same purpose. Wii's are awesome.
Happy New Year Everyone!!
And for you, here is a slide show of our travels in Scotland. More to come...

Wii's are indeed awesome, as the 7 pounds I've lost since buying a Wii Fit board prove! (A fair sight cheaper than a gym membership, too.)

Pastamasta, Congrats! I keep fluctuating on the weight part, but the yoga has improved my strength and tone. I love the way that it can let you know if you are balanced for better performance.
What A Week!

All my renters are paid up.
And we got accredited! I just got the email today. There are still things to do, but our certificate is in the mail. That is such a relief! Our consultant was so impressed with my accomplishments that he asked if I would consider going into the accreditation consultant business.
I rock at my job.

And you know what, neither can most other people. When they hear I have a kid, they are thinking that I have a lower single digit. They usually say something like, "You have a kid? Awww! How old?" When I tell them, their expression changes from puppy-dog-dreamy to WTF.
We had another bowling party for JD. The kids LOVE it and it is a way to get a bunch of kids together and not in our house.
JD bowling
JD's final game of the night. His first turkey and his highest score ever!
The cake.It was a great night. Even one of the parents stopped by and joined in the festivities by passing around an embarrassing picture of her little guy (one of JD's guest in a Pikachu costume). I like JD's friends, and their parents!

Damn... your bowling skillz are madder then mine by some distance. Practice session coming up, methinks.
Happy Birthday to JD...! -
Lyvvie, the boy got a hold of the picture and crumpled it up before I could get it. But it was adorable!
Shannon, he's grown several inches since you saw him in Milwaukee!
PastaMasta, nice to see you out and about again!

SSB: I like the coloration on that dog.
Sy: It's brindle.
SSB: Sounds like a character from Lord of the Rings.
Sy: Or something with peanuts in it that you eat at the holidays.
SSB: Like an Infectious Disease Log?
Sy: [gives an ewww face, then laughs]
SSB: Mmmm! Nothing like a Pepperidge Farm Infectious Disease Log to celebrate the holiday season!

Whoever says knowing how the trick is done ruins the magic, hasn't seen that.

Lyvvie, yes! I found it to a thoroughly amazing and entertaining video.
You could freeze some, with heavy cream and have egg nog ice cream for the next three-six months!
Mmm...egg nog....{drooling like Homer}
Lyvvie, frozen nog is good as well, but nothing beats fresh nog!
Heather, noggy goodness!
