Valentine’s Day 2016

Valentine’s Day 2016

Quick! Here are some ideas to let your loved one know how you feel. What do YOU want for Valentine’s Day…add it to this list and then show it to them.

Women's Sweater Knit Top & Jogger Sleep Set - Pink Leopard
Who doesn't love comfy pajamas! Perfect for snuggling....
Valentine's Dinner
Almost too late to plan, but I just gave it a try. They not only got back to me, but I'm scheduled for THE day! Love to support local entrepreneurs. Don't live in Albuquerque? Maybe there is a caterer nearby with specials.
Heart Shaped Bamboo from 1-800-FLOWERS.COM
I prefer a plant that will remind me daily of our love.
Alder Creek Godiva Chocolate Indulgence
This is an "order on line, but pick up in store" item. You can buy some of the chocolates separately, but they do not sell the ensemble. I'm going to give it a try.
Vogue Wave Dress in Garnet | Mod Retro Vintage Dresses | ModCloth.com
I love the color and simple elegance. Audrey really likes it!
Amore
Give your special one some "Love!" Make a date, hold their hand, and look into their eyes as you tell them," I <3 U." And don't you dare just text it! This restaurant is in a re-purposed shipping container....so cool!
MeowWolf annual pass - family
A premier for New Mexico! Sponsored by George R R Martin. The passes will mean a day trip and can be used with visitors. I am really looking forward to it!
A Shopping trip for President's Day sales
Remember, sometimes the gift isn't a particular thing. And while your eyes glaze over at the thought of new linens, just think how you might feel wrapped in that thick new towel or slipped in between the sheets together. And you just might be saying, "I love you" by doing the shopping together.
Martenitsa on a bike
My friend, Tatiana makes many of these. You can give it on March 1!.....you've got time.
Latitude & Longitude Bottle Opener Keychain, Custom Bottle Opener Key Chain, Personalized Key Chain
I love the whole location idea. If your loved one can't remember dates, maybe at least they can remember the place! Too late to get by THE day, but an easy gift to give at any time!
Chocolate! Any time
From local Buffets or other chocolatier. prefer dark with nuts. No creams please

Christmas Wishes -Try it!

Christmas Wishes -Try it!

I didn’t put my Christmas wishes in a bag, write them in a letter to Santa, or give access to my Pinterest boards. I captured them in a Udorami list for a mixture of things, to do’s, and ideas. I hope it becomes a jumble of fun and joy for the givers as well. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and joyful season.

Athena Christmas 2016

by Athena Christodoulou
Lavender Lotion Bars also at whole foods!
Get at least one with the tin, but the others can be without. Love the feel and the smell. My knuckles say hooray!
Anchor 3 Qt. Glass Bakeware Set
Review mentioned difficulty in putting on lid, but if it works and I can seal it, I need it. That way I can bring food to someone els's house!
Pyrex 18 piece Storage Set
Buy it online and use store pickup. They will hold it for several days. My plastics are disappearing and glass is better for microwaving afterward.
Book a Game | esQape It! | Room Escape Albuquerque, NM
Your dad is over 60 and I have military ID
House of Eternal Return visit
I have an annual pass, but I would LOVE to go as a family outing
A family concert/sing along
We never did record any songs, but we really should have. I was hoarse the next day and it was fortunate that I didn't have to be up at the chanter's box. Maybe Sunday, Jan 3? It will be last night with all three boys at home in Albuquerque. .
puzzle time with my mom
She's coming for Christmas this year...hooray!
2016-18 Chapter Challenge: St. George Philoptochos
Go through your jackets and leave me some to give. Buy something on the list ...preferably from Target. Sometimes they have store pickup. Choose the Albuquerque NE store.
Green Jeans Farmery visit - Albuquerque
A gift certificate or date at one of their eateries would be excellent. The whole concept of reusing shipping containers and supporting local businesses is very satisfying.
Susan Provda design
I want one of her earrings! Her website doesn't show them, but they are beautiful! I took this photo off her Facebook page @susanjoydesign. I don't care if I get it at Christmas or Mother's day. Support Artists!
Please read and let me know what you think
Print it out, if needed. This single page helped explain soooo much!
St. Anthony's monastery family visit
They kept the saguaros! I've been there. It's as peaceful as you allow. There is a very rigid schedule for those who need such guidance, but for visitors unused to it, there are just a few strict guidelines out of respect for the humanity of the monks. Give as you feel inclined for your stay, but only orthodox with a priest's recommendation may stay.

His “Super” Birthday

His “Super” Birthday

The first Item was supposed to have been for a laugh, but our sons turned it on him for the laugh, by buying one! Some items were purchased locally, so being able to mark it purchased anyway, was wonderful!

Her Beautiful Birthday

Her Beautiful Birthday

I’ve used Udorami for a year and now I look forward to my birthday. It has become a month-long celebration of gifting, family, and friends. Most of the time it isn’t about ‘things.”

Better than geocaching and capture the flag! We ended up doing my first mission during Thanksgiving weekend.
Rosewill Induction Cooktop with pan
If I don't get it this time around it's on my list until I do. I've wanted one for several years because a friend proved to me how much safer and faster it is to cook on one of these gadgets.
Aromatherapy massage
Ranae Ford raioflight81@gmail.com She presented at a Philoptochos meeting. She sounded fantastic and I'm scheduled this week.
Women's Pajama Set - Gilligan & O'Malley®
I like the drawstring and cuff ankles. I wear size M or 10
Steve Madden Women's Microfleece Set
I like the microfleece. Get Large size for this style. I tend to be a bit"hippy" and have trouble if it is elastic waist.

Shut Up and Take My Money

Shut Up and Take My Money

While browsing the Interwebz, I often see things that are so cool I would immediately buy them – if I had a disposable income, of course. The list includes things that are already available for purchase, as well as awesome ideas that are just prototypes or concepts (in other words: shut up already, go make the product, and take my money!)
