I can't believe the week flew by so fast and another weekend is here and gone.
We had the MCB meeting on Monday and I presented the band's CD and his price. As expected it was deemed to high priced. I said I would go back to him to see if I couldn't get him to come down in price. I did and he did. After being told to book him, the powers that be, decided that they wanted a band that everyone was familiar with. I was more then a little irritated. After wasting my time and this guys time, they decided to go with another band. This band is geared to about thirty older people that ballroom dance. I personally don't care who the use, but stop getting me involved in everything.
This is suppose to be a MCB not a dance for the older people. If the decision was going to be made by others then why tell me to find someone. So, with all that being said, I resigned from the Committee. I know it might sound like sour grapes, but I didn't want to do this again this year. I promised to do the center pieces and will do that, but that is the end of it. I already have everything I need to finish them and after that it is over and out. Everyone calls me for answers to everything because they know I will get things done. When I tried to foist the center pieces off on someone the answer was no. Alrighty then!
Friday we celebrated a friend of mine's eighty eighth birthday at The Ritz. There were the three of us and it was so much fun. The place was packed with TGIF people and as always the food was great. The Ritz has an egg that is in the shell filled with a soft scrambled egg, salmon, chives and topped with caviar served with a shot of Russian Vodka. Great appetizer. After that it was a steak sandwich without the bread. All in all a great day.
Saturday Bruno was back. He arrived about three o'clock. He has been working on deals in the Republic of China and South Africa and has several trips planned with his partners to see what's what. He has so much going on I don't know how he does it. It was a lot of fun being together Saturday night. My special friend. Large place with good food and entertainment all night. Belly dancers, that were really good, and a great band and international singer. Guess I'll have to learn Farsi. It was a super evening. They serve almost 500 people a night, which is amazing. The owner came over to our table and brought Persian ice cream. Mine had Rose water in it and Bruno's had Pomegranate with chocolate.\ bits. It was very nice of the owner and we were trying to figure out why he did it. We had no interaction with him at all
This morning I made baked French Toast, Bruno went down to Starbucks to get his NY Times and coffee, came back and we had breakfast together. Sunday mornings are always nice together. He headed home and back to work. He does work seven days a week and with International business Sunday is Monday.
So another week starts.....who knows what it will bring.
