Happy Tuesday!

Hey Friends!

I've had such a busy week....I'm sure you all have too! Just got back from Indiana for my daughter's VB tournament. They did OK. I was the chaperone for 11 girls! WHEW!!! What a weekend! The girls are all really nice though, they minded well. It's just that we were up by 5:00 am both Saturday and Sunday and I'm in-charge of all their meals and make sure they are all up and ready to go. What a job! But our hotel was comp'd for both nights so not too bad.

Now I'm taking care of a 3YO who's slightly feverish but thinks he wants to go snowboarding! Kids --- they're so resilient aren't they?

On a FUN note, I'm planning a girls trip to Vegas this Fall. Who wants to join us? :)

Well, keep posting and hope you're all doing GREAT!!!!

Locks For Love

Today I did something I have been wanting to do for the longest time. I got a haircut and donated it to Locks for Love! They took 10 inches off! I feel so good and so happy knowing that I may make someone happy for having my hair. :)

Now my hair is just above my shoulders. Short and bouncy and it feels so light. I love it!

For Valentine's dinner, I'm making crab and corn chowder, steamed Dungeness crabs, roasted asparagus and fingerling potatoes. And raspberry cheesecake and praline cheesecake for dessert. Hubby says he'll take me out this weekend....

TTFN!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Good Morning All!

Just wanted to wish all of you a very Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you're all doing something fun!

Last night I went out with my girlfriends to celebrate my birthday. I know two months later.... But with everyone's schedule this was the soonest we can do it. Anyway, we went out to dinner then went to take an hour of hip hop class. That was so fun! Before I went out, I was feeling a bit melancholy. Like I wanted to cry for some reason. Hubby told me it would be good to go out with the girls. He was right. I was soon to find out that we all were feeling the same way. Isn't that funny? It's a relief actually. When you find out that you're not the only one. As I sat down and chatted with the girls, I was telling them that I don't know, but I just want to cry! Then a few minutes later, one of the girls walked in and as she sat down, she was saying that on her way to dinner, she wanted to just bawl. We all started LAUGHING!!! It was like a scene from "Sex and The City". The hip hop class afterwards was another release. Then we went for another drink. Got home at midnight. So glad I went out!

Do you ever feel that sometimes, your heart feels uneasy. Like something is tugging at it. Then you have a dream about an old friend. And you wonder if they're thinking about you the same. Lately, I've been having this sense of going back in time. Like reminiscing of things, people in my past, things I used to do. Quite a bit nostalgic. I emailed a friend whom I haven't talked to in a while. And what a coincidence, she was thinking about me too. See what I mean? Sometimes, you wonder and think about someone....you can choose to do something about it or not. Whatever the case may be, you make a decision. And you live with it.

Well, my friend and I need to catch up. Hope she's OK.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone....



Art Quote of the Day
Where words fail, music speaks.
Hans Christian Andersen



I leave you with this song...

Collide


The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
Your barely waking, and i'm tangled up in you, Yeah

Well, I'm open, your closed,
Where I follow, you'll go,
I worry I won't see your face, light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes,
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme,
Out of the doubt that fills my mind,
I somehow find You and I collide

I'm quiet you know,
you make a first impression,
I found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes,
Even the stars refuse to shine,
out of the back you fall in time,
You somehow find, You and I collide

Don't stop here,
I lost my place,
I'm close behind

Even the best fall down sometimes,
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme,
Out of the doubt that fills your mind,
You finally find You and I collide.

You finally find
You and I collide.
You finally find
You and I collide.
