Just saw this on Sephora. If you don't know what a Smurfette is (ahem, Roxanne), don't tell me!

Celebrating Christmas Late
My friend, Kayren, came through town today, and we celebrated Christmas at Starbucks!
She bought Winnie a darling Harley Davidson "Bad to the Bone" bandana. He was a little camera shy, so I made this loud high-pitched noise that Beth said was obnoxious and this was the result.
Kayren gave me this cool recycled fountain, which I set up in my room. Cool, huh?

Attending Grand Opening Tomorrow! FUN!
Worldwide soft-drink company Coca-Cola is ready to blow the lid off of its new recycling plant in Spartanburg County.
According to company spokeswoman Kirsten Witt, Coca-Cola will open the doors to the "bottle-to-bottle" recycling facility at 5396 N. Blackstock Road on Jan. 14.
The plant, said to be the largest of its kind in the world, will produce about 100 million pounds of food-grade recycled polyethylene terephthalate plastic for reuse per year, or the equivalent of about 2 billion 20-ounce plastic Coke bottles.
Over the next 10 years, the Spartanburg plant is expected to eliminate the production of 1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions - the equivalent of removing 215,000 cars from the road.
Coca-Cola announced the $60 million investment in September 2007, saying it was part of the company's long-term initiative to have 100 percent of its plastic bottles be recycled or reused.
The project is in partnership with Spartanburg-based United Resource Recovery Corp. and includes the new facility on a 30-acre site as well as a recycling center that collects used beverage containers.
"We have set an ambitious goal to recycle all the plastic bottles we use in the U.S. market," Sandy Douglas, president of Coca-Cola North America, said in a statement. "Our investments in recycling infrastructure coupled with our work on sustainable package design will help us reach this target."
For Spartanburg County, the plant is expected to create about 100 jobs over the next five years and has the added bonus of making the county a centerpiece for many of Coca-Cola's global recycling initiatives.
On Jan. 15, the facility will host a satellite media tour that will be broadcast to news outlets all over the world.
During the broadcast, Kate Krebs, director of sustainable resources for The Climate Group, a leading recycling advocacy organization, and Scott Vitters, director of sustainable packaging for Coca-Cola, will talk about how to recycle and why it's important.
"Coca-Cola has staked a clear leadership position in its approach to suitable packaging," Krebs said in a statement. "The new Spartanburg plant represents an end-to-end recycling model that is world-class and that I hope other industries will follow."

Misc. January 1 Thoughts
Special wine glasses from Sister - LOVE them!Hope everyone had an exciting New Year' Eve! Sister and I ate spaghetti and spend the evening with Mom, Gramma and Dad. We were in well before midnight, but did see the ball drop. What was up with Bill and Hill working the ball?
I've had it with USC football. Why were we even in a bowl anyway? I know, we won the right number of games. But we also played badly all season. I think it may be time for USC to quit hiring old coaches past their prime and maybe find someone young, hungry and wanting to make a name for themselves. I've said before that if we can't win with Holtz and Spurrier, what hope is there, but I think I was - GASP - wrong!
Now that the holidays are over and I'm settling in to the new job routine, I'm hoping to be back on the blog!
Does anyone else work tomorrow or is it just us folks with no annual leave?
