Update

by on Jan.27, 2006, under Life

Last weekend was our annual executive meeting for the center. Of the four executive members, three of us don’t get paid for keeping the center up and running, so we make plans once a year to treat ourselves to a night/day out. Last year we went to Magic Castle where we had a blast, and this year we rented a limo and took a trip to Temecula for some wine tasting.

Now I have always been under the impression that California had good wine, and that Temecula would be sort of the low end of the spectrum. I must say I was very pleasantly surprised. I had some wonderful wines, and visited a few vineyards I would highly recommend. The one that sticks out most in my head is Stuart Cellars. They don’t mass produce their wine, and they only sell their wine at the winery, but I was blown away by their wines. I might be new to the whole wine lifestyle, but I can already tell the difference between an $8 bottle of wine and a $18 bottle of wine. The wine I had from Stuart Cellars was an even bigger improvement. I even joined their wine club, which means I will get bottles delivered directly to me.

Beyond the wine tasting not a lot more has been going on. The one other thing worth mentioning is that I put a new car on order. I am so excited, but it will take another two months before my new baby is delievered to me. I can hardly wait…. It is just as well, it will be well into March before I will be able to afford the car, but after hearing how long the special order process was, I decided to go ahead and get mine started..

Yay excitement! The only question now is to go with the racing stripes or ditch them. I have ordered them all ready, but they are aftermarket installed at the dealer, so I can back out at any time. One part of me drools over them, the other more pratical wonders how many cops per week will ‘notice’ my car.

    Hey Son!! Looks like you are enjoying life and everything is going well for you. YEA!! Hey hey..LOVE your new car!! GO JAIME!! Zooom……..
    Your dad is going to be so jealous. No really he will be so excited for you. Was needing a update on my son and it is always good to come here and see what you have been up to.
    Life is good here…everyone is doing well. Mandy broke up with Von and is on with yet another guy. I don’t know about her sometimes. Guess she is taking the scenic route in life. :) She mentioned she wanted to follow this one to Atlanta to live. Had to tell her that…with her track record ..it would’nt be something I would recommend or would I support her decision.

    When you mentioned nice warm sunny weather it made me JEALOUS!! It is colddddddd here in TN!! I go to my warm sunny greenhouse when I need a pick me up from the winter blahs. I would much rather be on a trip to CA. :)

    Take care of my Son!!
    LOVE YOU Jaime!!
    HUGS!

    Hi Jaime,
    Mom told me about seeing your car being on order here!! That is so exciting! I love that blue! Is that the color that you ordered? Did you know that my very first mustang was an awful green…. but I had it repainted a metallic blue? …Very close to color in your picture.

    If you want my advice on the stripes, go with the stripes! Even though it still looks good without it, they do make a statement. I’m sure the cops out there are used to seeing cars like that. Really you can’t wrong either way.

    I love being to keep up with how you’re doing, Jaime, on this website. Keep the updates coming!!!

    I love you, Son!!!
