Ultimate Blog Party 2008
Well, I just found something that sounds like tons and tons of fun!!! =) I can't wait...I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooo in on this!!!! Check it out!!!
Written by Janice:
During the week of March 7-14th, the blogosphere will be party hopping - jumping through our Mr. Linky list of participating bloggers, meeting new friends and partying blogger-style at the Ultimate Blog Party 2008, here at 5 Minutes for Mom.
Are you going to be there?
Last year’s Ultimate Blog Party was a blast with almost 1000 participating bloggers. So make sure you don’t miss out on this one. It is a fantastic opportunity to introduce your blog to a bunch of new people and to find new blogs that you will want to read regularly.
As well, The Ultimate Blog Party features tons of prizes. The prize list is constantly growing - check it out! Thank you to Pamela, from Happy Panda, who is coordinating the prizes and will draw the winners.
Last year we made the prize draw only open to participating bloggers. But this year, because we have so many faithful non-blogging readers at 5 Minutes for Mom who may want to join in on the party hopping to find some great new reads - we have decided to open up the party - and the prize draw - to non-bloggers as well! For more about prize eligibility read on and visit our prize page.

Las Vegas....Holy Crap!!!!
So here goes the GOOD NEWS....
Mr. "S" just won a 3 night 4 day Vegas package, with $200 casino money and a comedy show on the radio 93.7!!! HOLY COW...that is unreal!!! I've been to Vegas once with my ex-boyfriend...Mr. "S" has never been so this will be such an EXCITING trip!!!!
I'm NOT a BIG gambler but there are soooooooooooooo many different cool things to do!!! Just walking the strip is entertainment!!!! Last time I was there I rode The Roller Coaster at New York-New York, I went up into the Eiffel Tower and watched the Fountains at Bellagio from the tower (it was GREAT), I went to the Gondola Ride at the Venetian, I went to the M&M Store, I ate at Emeril's New Orleans Fish House (I'm a HUGE Emeril fan), I seen the original Cirque Du Soleil at Treasure Island, I also walked through the HUGE mall at Ceasers Palace and seen a free show called Fall of Atlantis and Festival Fountain shows at Caesars Forum Shops, I ate lunch at the House of Blues, I stayed at the Mirage which is a VERY nice hotel...at this hotel I was able to go to Secret Garden & Dolphin Habitat, White Tiger Habitat and see the REALLY COOL Volcano from my room...that is just a few of the things I did So I did a lot when I was there last time and there is soooooooooooooooooooooo much more to do, so I can't wait to run Mr. "S" all over the strip!!!
I don't have the details on the trip, who, what, where, when but I will post about it as I get them!!!! =) They are sending us a package in the mail!!!! Yahooooooooooo!!!!!
I've already called Danielle and told her to sit down and pick a date so we can all go together!!!!
So who else is up for going??? Come meet us in Vegas!!! =) Frannie are you and Papa up to meeting us over there or will this trip to SD do you in??? =)
Sip champagne as you prepare for a delightful helicopter flight onboard a comfortable 6 passenger luxury jet helicopter over neon Las Vegas at night.Take to the skies over the dazzling Las Vegas Strip. Millions of lights will mesmerize you as you cruise on your own magic carpet past dancing waters at the Bellagio, legendary Caesar's Palace, electric Eiffel Tower at Paris or maybe see the pirate fight at Treasure Island.
An exotic, enchanting and wondrous world full of adventure lies before you. The rare and exquisite animals enjoy relaxing in their tropical environment, painstakingly modeled after their natural habitats.
Mirage - Volcano
The volcano at The Mirage has been a Las Vegas signature attraction since the resort opened in 1989, mesmerizing spectators with its thunderous display. The volcano, situated on three water-covered acres, is 54 feet high and circulates 119,000 gallons of water per minute.

How could I forget about the flowers?????
How could I forget to post about my flowers????

Yep...that's it...he paid FULL florist prices for my flowers to be delivered in a box! Yep, a box!!! =( I'm NOT a florist and I can NOT make "MY" arrangement look like the above picture! So you are only going to see a picture of one rose (the pretty rose) that I took with my camera phone!!!!
Flowers in a freaking box....it was horrible! When I unwrapped them the peddles just fell off!!!! It was sad!!! I called Mr. "S" to thank him for the flowers and I started to tell him I've never received flowers in a box, etc. He was HOT....he said he paid extra money to get the flowers to me before noon (I received them at 12:55pm)!!! He said he couldn't believe they were delivered in a box?!?!? Well, me neither...lol...any ways after our phone conversation I took it upon myself to call Pro Flowers customer service and told them how some of my flowers were dead and how some had lost almost all there peddles, etc. The guy on the phone told me he would send me some more flowers the following day and I said, "NO THANK YOU THE POINT WAS ALREADY MADE & I WANT ALL OF MR."S" MONEY REFUNDED"!!!!!!!! I was not taking NO for an answer!!! It was that easy...I got all of Mr. "S" $87.00 refunded!!!!! =) Now that made me HAPPY!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH MR. "S" for thinking of me on this SPECIAL day....it's the THOUGHT that counts!!!! I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THAT!!!! YOU ARE A WONDERFUL MAN!!!!

Happy Friday!!!
Our Special Night......
I tried to create restaurant style shrimp cocktails...you think it worked?

I bought this freshly made ( I just had to bake them)! I topped them off with a yummy honey mustard sauce!

I pan-seared salmon and plated it with some garlic herb rice and steamed veggies!



I also used this wine to make the brownies...it's a DELICIOUS recipe!!!!

I drizzled it with the fudge sauce and topped it off with some powered sugar!
This is a picture of our yummy, sweet, chewy, fattening dessert and wine....Boy-O-Boy was it divine!!!!
So, if I had a restaurant would you come eat there? lol =) I'm just kidding! This was a fun and adventures night...something different!!!
Now for gift time...
I bought Mr. "S" some different types of cigars (that's what he is into these days)?!?!
Mr. "S" has never tried this kind...I liked the packaging and the guy in the cigar shop said this is one of his favorite!

Mr. "S" has tried these before and he likes them...I like the smell of them!
CAO Moontrance Cigarillos
Moontrance is an intricate blend of natural exotic fruit and bourbon vanilla. Renowned for its caramel-like sweetness, bourbon vanilla is mixed with Georgia peaches and other organic fruits, then splashed with the tropical essence of white Hawaiian honey....See why I like the smell of these!!!! =)

Java by Drew Estate

Sorry for the Cigar lesson!!! =) I just felt like adding that all in!!!!
I also bought Mr. "S" a Between Me and You Journals it's more for me than it is for him!!! He seemed like he liked it...I was shocked!!! I can't wait till he starts writing in it!!! =)
I bought him some candy...he loves cheesecake and Hershey came out with some new cheesecake kisses!!! YUM YUM...I'm sure I will help him eat them!!!
Now on to me...
Mr. "S" went to James Avery and bought me two charms for my bracelet!!!
The other charm he bought me was the letter "S" =)
He also bought me some candy and the movie "The Game Plan"!!! We just watched it a while back and it was as CUTE as could be!!!
