Wish List Wednesday

Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged. Maybe it's the kids being home, working from home, cleaning lady every other week instead of every week .... blah blah blah.......
Lots of excuses but I think the real reason is now I am on Facebook and everytime I go on the computer there is some old friend finding me. Instead of blogging I need to find the time to respond to these old buddies of mine. I will have to divide my time now because I do miss blogging.
On to Wish List Wednesday!!!!
I wish....
1) That my cold be gone by morning!!!!
2) That my son doesn't get lice or the thow up virus which is now in his school!!!
3) I find a vacation for either Feb or Apr break and that my husband will agree to. ( hopefully with some Amex miles)
4) Come up with a 50th anniversary weekend for my parents and family that isn't too expensive ( I will take any suggestions we need it to be in the Northeast)
5) That my business partners start producing.

Wish List Wednesday

May all days be as good as this one.....

 It started out with tennis.  My partner and I did a great job today. What great fun. I then got some work stuff accomplished.  Then the phone rang and I got a fantastic call from my mom that her cat scan is clean. ( she had lung cancer 4 years ago and has to go the the  Doctor every six months) I then headed to knitting and had a wonderful holiday lunch with my knitsters. We also had a grab bag and I got a great gift. I got a home made cranberry orange vodka. I can't wait to make the cosmo recipe that came with it. Had a lovely dinner with my kids. I then had a wonderful talk with the hubby about my business and he finally believes in it!!! Hooray!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful Holiday !!!

The kids will be home for almost 2 weeks so I don't know how much time I will have to Blog. I will try my best.

Co-op Reunioun - City Hall Restuarant

What a great time we had. It was wonderful seeing old friends and recognizing some old faces. We all kind of know each other in Co-op City. It was great for me since I knew people my age but I also knew people a bit older because of my big sis. It was great fun catching up. There is never enough time. It went so fast. We closed the bar down and I was home at 1:45am. It's been a long time since I've done that.

The photo above was taken around 34 years ago. 3 people in that photo were at the reunion. See if you can match the people.

Wish List Wednesday

1) Would like to finally make some plans for Christmas week.
2) Be finished with the Holiday shopping.
3) The three loads of folded laundry get put away.
4) Figure out what I am wearing to this Sat. Bat Mitzvah as well as something for the evening. ( having a Co-op City Reunion)

Happy Thanksgiving/Christmas week getaway

Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving. It was a lot of work leading up to it but I love it. In Westchester there is not any one store that you can go to. I had to go to 4 different stores for all the stuff I need for a wonderful dinner. Also, I had my kids home on Wednesday so that was hard to do everything and make it a fun day for them. I made 2 new things this year and if I may give myself a pat on the back they were amazing. I made a butternut squash and other veggies ratatouille and an amazing stuffing. I had 14 plus people and it was a wonderful day. This long weekend was all about eating. I will have to work extra hard this week eating healthy and exercising.

I am still looking to do something during Christmas week. Maybe for just 2 days. If anybody has any suggestions in the Northeast that is inexpensive please let me know.

Wish List Wednesday

Sorry I haven't been blogging!!! I will try and be a little better. When I do blog it is so much fun and I wish I had time to read all the blogs that I love.

1) To be better are blogging.

My husband's 1 year package to work on the bankruptcy was not as good as I thought. I thought we had 1 year of job security but we really don't it can end at any time. With that said.....

2) Either a new job for the hubby or more of a guarantee that the work that he is doing will last a long time.

3) Would love to go on vacation (not happening this year so far)

4) That my business trip to Rhode Island this weekend is a huge success and gives me the push that I need.

Sat. New York Times Front Page

Check it out the Cohen's have 15 minutes of fame. I got interviewed for the New York Times and they sent a photographer to our house on Friday night. How cool is that!!! Here is what they had to say....




Forget Caviar: Holiday Parties Feel the Pinch


My friends and I have all been talking about doing a lot more potluck,” said Eileen Cohen, right, with her husband, Jonathan.


Home entertainers are also paring preparations. Eileen Cohen, whose husband is a senior vice president at Lehman Brothers, usually gives elegant dinners featuring baby lamb chops and cut flowers, but on Friday, she planned to serve “turkey chili and appetizers from Costco” for a Halloween party at her home in Ardsley, N.Y.

“My friends and I have all been talking about doing a lot more potluck,” said Mrs. Cohen, whose husband, Jonathan, is still employed, helping the Wall Street firm with its bankruptcy. “We still all want to get together, but one person doesn’t need to absorb the whole cost.”
