A much needed vacation for us... and a long time coming. Ivan and I have decided that we have got to see where we are from. Share it with each other. Also, Christopher is only getting older and soon, he'll be off working like us all and maybe not be able to travel with us... This first trip was my lovely state of California... I was born and raised out there for the first 28 yrs of my life...

It has been a while... and I need to get back to tracking points and losing some weight. We are taking a trip to California in July and I want to be just a bit more comfortable on the flight. So, I went on a huge Sam's run on Saturday and I have all the good foods in the house and I'm gonna get started! Once, I get through the first few days, I find that it's not so hard to continue on with it

Well, Spring looks like it's arrived, however, we did experience some snow on Tuesday. So, you never know what Mother Nature intends to do. I've been looking out in my backyard and trying to see how my planting from last year has done. My Forsythia is currently in bloom and looking great! (Will post pics soon) and only 1 pear tree made it through it's first winter. It's budding now and I

Well, I finally had to replace my Sony Cybershot. My son had dropped it about two years ago and well, I was able to get 2 more years out of it.. but my last two outtings, I just did not want to work... so, I bought a Fujifilm Finepix S1500 camera. It's so nice... small, yet substantial. I've taken a few pics already with it... It has a panarama setting... which is pretty cool... so a view of

Well, today, I went out with a friend to a Cystic Fibrosis fundraiser, where Caitlin and Will were featured. Caitlin and Will were the winners of last year's CMT: Can You Duet? It was a very small venue and it was great that we got so close to the stage and able even to get pics taken with them... I went with a g/f from work. She's a HUGE fan. I didn't watch last season, but saw them sing at

Well, last weekend, I didn't do much of anything... but this weekend, I'm pretty much busy every minute. Friday night, I went out with a friend to Longhorn for some desert... have you had the Stampede??? OMG! Delicious! We shared, as it's basically HUGE... yummy. This morning, Ivan and I went grocery shopping... a very routine thing for us to do... Early enough not to annoy Ivan with crowds and

Hello everyone... well, I haven't posted when I said I would! grrr. Now, honestly, I am on the pc enough to do this daily, but it's just not a current habit of mine. Right now, my days start off in a bad mood, just kidding! LOL But, I am sooooo not a morning person! At all! I wake up and make sure the pc is up and running. Now, I either shower first, or post on weightwatchers.com first.

Okay, pics that I added after I wrote blog...Below is Ivan, my husband of 7 years and this is him tweeting in his recliner! lolHe's not been on any day trips with us, but I felt that I needed to show all of you a photo of the man I love so much. Now, this is the bookstore, that I'll talk about... it's located in Downtown Scranton and it's called Anthology... and we just LOVE IT! Here is

We decided to keep our vacationing close to home this year. Definitely way more economical. We have picked places that we've been wanting to check out since we moved up here to Pennsylvania. On Thursday, we went down to Philadelphia to see the Zoo. It is the first zoo in America. The day was perfect for it, very cool (about 62 degrees) and sunny. Most of the animals were quite tired and not very

I drove out to NY today to p/u Christopher from his father's. My friend, Ruth, joined to keep me company on the drive out. It helped the drive to talk with a friend all the way through it... Also, the weather was great and warm... so much better than all the snow we've been getting!

And myself? Well I am home sick, so we are not taking pics of myself. But what about the snow outside? Here it is March 2nd and we had a bit of a snow storm. Not as much as everywhere else in the Northeast but enough. I think I will be going back to bed now...
