Since I am getting ready to dig into my lunch (and a not very exciting one at that), I figured this would be a perfect time to blog about a fantastic lunch that I had on Tuesday. One of the perks of my job is that we get invited to receptions and mixers at fabulous [...]

Boo…it’s snack time!
One of my favorite holidays, Halloween, is rapidly approaching. I love Halloween because I love dressing up. I am a BIG HUGE fan of dressing up and also of theme parties.
