Smoothie King = YUM

Just went to Smoothie King and used my birthday “buy one get one free” coupon! Can’t remember what I got. I always have a hard time deciding what to get!

Birthday Freebies

My birthday is Saturday. I started to get freebies on July 1 from companies.
Birthday at Pam's

Above picture was from my aunt’s house on July 4th, when we had a joint birthday party with a cousin, and also for the 4th- taken with an iPhone inside, so it’s blurry- sorry! Wait, look at the cake- it’s Soni’s Boston Cream Pie with CHOCOLATE on top- YUMMMM!

I went through my inbox tonight to write down some of them that I thought were good and to share with you. I have seen some other lists previously, but it was a fun exercise to do.

Camera Strap Cover

One of the bloggers that I follow, Shey B, makes camera strap covers. They are very cute!

And handmade, so somewhat expensive- but considering they are handmade, it just takes a lot of time to make them.

I saw this tutorial from Skip to my Lou the other day, and I want to try to make one sometime.

I have been bookmarking a lot of things that I want to make when 1) summer school is over and 2) after the entries for the state fair are due.

I haven’t made anything since the pillow- and I still need to hand stitch the bottom closed!!

Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares

I’m taking an Entrepreneurship class (officially known as Venture Growth Management) as an elective for my MBA degree this summer. Only 2 more classes left after this- yay!!

Georgian Food, Krakow, Poland
Part of our assignments are to watch particular episodes of Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares. We are watching the British version, which I think is even better than the American version.

I was doing some research and came across 2 blog postings about it.

10 things you can learn from Gordon Ramsay about running a business- #1 is about being simple. Ramsay has said that in EVERY episode!  I think all of these 10 things can apply to anyone running any type of business- not just a restaurant.

5 Lessons Learned From Gordon Ramsay- I liked #5, Passion! Constant trying and learning!

Photo Info: Food icture was taken in Spring of 2009 in Krakow, Poland.
