So, the Heat won. I admit it, I didn't think they would. I wanted them to, but I just didn't think they could win in Dallas. Go Heat! (I still love the Lakers best, though!)

I found some good honeymoon options. Thanks for all of the suggestions. Now I’m hearing that they really want to go on a cruise or go to the Caribbean. Ummm, excuse me! You don’t have any money! And you don’t have a passport! Chele and Aziza, I suggested VA beach to them. I’ve always liked it there. Nikki, they’ve lived in the Indiana/Kentucky/Tennessee area for all of their lives. I want to find something a bit different for them. Jdid, Niagara is not a bad idea, but the US side is supposed to suck. Can they get into Canada without a passport these days?

I had a good lunch today. It was Barbeque Day at my old job. Every Tuesday for as long as I remember, the guys have gone to this BBQ restaurant for lunch. The girls go every once in a blue moon, opting for vegetarian Indian or a sandwich instead. Well, I went to have lunch with ShellyP and E. Somehow all of the office ended up at BBQ. It was pretty uneventful, but I did get to see Shel’s growing belly and shirking eyebrows. Check out her page to see what I’m talking about. I was told that my computer still worked and asked when my world wind travels were going to start. And of course I made my fried wontons and took them in for El Stomach. She ate a ton of them, then went to BBQ! I bet she had a snack when she got back to the office too. That girl can eat.

Today was my first official day of work. It was good. We just had 4 hours of training. Every one seemed nice. I’m only going to remember 3 people’s names and it would be 2 if two of the girls didn’t have the same name. Did I mention that I have a horrible memory? The memory thing also comes into play because we have to memorize the menu, all of the ingredients, and a bunch of other stuff like the 10 categories of wine they have. Other than that, it should be cool and I think I’ll like working there. The only thing is, there is no telling when work will actually start! They are still getting all the building/inspection stuff done. The next training session isn’t until Friday. So, What do I do for the next 2.5 days?

Go Heat! So my AIM status message yesterday was "Mavericks stew being served @ 6PM." I'm more than thrilled they were able to pull it off.

Haslem played his ass off last night. He, Wade and Mourning were beast last night.

What beautiful is was to see Shaq win another ring. I get to rub it in my buddy's face all offseason. He's a diehard Lakers fan too and has done nothing but bad mouth Shaq since his departure. I'mma ride Kobe into the ground just even the score with my buddy. GO SHAQ!!!!

Thankfully, it (NBA season) is over. The season is too long and the post seaon seems even longer.

I have the worst memory when it comes to people's names. Its the worst. I literally can forget someone's name less than a minute after introduction.

Did you do the food tasting yesterday?

As a practical joke you should set up a fake itinerary to some god forsaken place for your friend and give it to them. After a good laugh give 'em the real package.

Congrats to the Heat! Man the game last night had me on edge until the last minute!

I'm not sure if it's official yet that you need a passport to get into Canada now. It's been the talk for a minute, but I don't think the law passed yet...

Yeah, I saw that game last night. Being a Kobe guy, it wasn't surprising to see Shaq refernece Kobe once again, proving what kind of bitch he is based on his inability to keep another man's man out of his mouth. But yeah, it's easy to claim that he is " more of a team player than Kobe is" when he is only a fraction of the player that he once was, and if Shaq was a horse he'd be scheduled for the glue factory. Shaquille "bastard who was just as responsible for the Lakers breakup as Kobe" O'Neal. Go somewhere and give us another "Kazaam", jackass..

But anyway, they won, despite the classic underachieving of two teams that were in their path and horrible calls by officials. I guess you can tell that I'm a lakers fan huh??..lol

Shawn – Don’t be too hard on your buddy. But I guess if he started it, he deserves it.

No, no food or wine tasting yet. That will be sometime next week. I can’t wait. It’s Mediterranean style food. Plus, they were saying that they want to have us to tasting of the wine once a week. I guess I’ll have to make the sacrifice!

Mocha – I remember being able to go back and forth when I lived in Detroit, but I thought they changed the rules too. I know they did for most of the Caribbean already.

Chele – It sounds really cool and I can’t wait to start. There will be 155 different wines!

HC – OMG! It’s not about Shaq or Kobe, it’s about the team and how THEY played the game. Let it go!
