It's Vacation Time Yo!

Just a quick note to say hi and I will miss all of you lovlies while I am gone for the next 10 whole days! WOOP WOOP!!! I hope you will miss me too and not give up on me cause when I get back you can bet I will have TONS of stories to tell and pictures to show ya!  I am so excited that I just don't know HOW I am going to make it through the day today! LOL

Have a wonderful 10 days and take care.  I wasn't able to get anyone to guest post for me while I'm gone, so I'm not sure that I will have any posts during this trip - however, if I get the time to pop in and say hi - I promise to do so - but I'm not sure that will be a possibility at this point.  But just know I will be back and look forward to catching up with all of you and your blogs to see what all fun things you were up to while I was gone surfin - hee hee hee

And just cause I can't leave you without one final picture - here you go:

I hope to be looking at this exact scenery every evening by the fireside. :o)

Have a great week my peeps and thanks for stopping by! 

Lots of love and hugs,

Blogger Guests Posts and PINT

Happy Tuesday darlins - how are ya? How was your Monday? Great, I hope.  Our day was good just very very busy.  Since I won't have a lot of time to post while on vacation (and I didn't think ahead enough), I won't have many (if any at all) posts ready to go while we are gone so I thought I'd see if anyone would like to do any guest posting for me starting this Friday thru the following week?  If so, please let me know ASAP - just shoot me an email so I can get it all set up in advance.  Thanks! ;o)

Okay, I had already had this ready to go but somehow I completely deleted the entire post so I am having to redo my post-its so here we go.  If you want to play along, be sure to go to Supah's and link up so we can all read what you have to say today.

Meet Me On Monday - 7th Edition

Happy Monday my friends! How are you?  How was your weekend?  What'd you do? I'd love to hear all about it!  We got a LOT accomplished this weekend including the garage cleaned out and stuff taken to Goodwill, laundry all washed up and then I got us all packed in advance for our upcoming trip this Thursday.  And all I can say is - I CAN'T WAIT!!!  We are so ready to get away that we can hardly stand to wait another day -*sigh*. 

So.... onto today's post - as you know, I lurve me some bloggy carnivals - it sure helps when I am at a loss of what to write about, such as today.  So, I have joined in on Coffee Slut's  Meet me on Monday and hope that you will come play along as well and get to know more of your fellow bloggers.  So, without further adieu - here we go:

1. What one food could you eat every single day?   Bananas

2. Do you wear glasses or contacts? I wear glasses to read, work on the computer and drive

3. What kind of cell phone do you have? The new Iphone 4 - lurve it!

4. What did you have for dinner last night? A delicious and yummy Caesar Salad that my husband made - YUM!

5. What is your favorite candy? Lately it has become Skittles!

So there you have it my friends - there are my answers - now it's your turn.  Be sure to link up and let me know so that I can come check out your answers as well.

Only 3 more days until we leave headed for Paradise:

I hope that all of you have a wonderful and glorious Monday and an even better week ahead.  Thanks for stopping by to say hello. :o)

Lots of love and hugs,

Happy Friday my peeps! Whew - we FINALLY made it - YAY!!!! I'm SO glad because I just want to sleep in tomorrow - at least to any time past 5:15 a.m. - I'd be happy just to sleep in until 8:00 a.m. - I don't want to sleep all day and waste my day - I have too much stuff to do and never enough time to do it in - you know how that goes, right?! :o)

Anyway, I wanted to tell you about a new game that you can play on the Itouch and Iphones.  My little brother introduced me to it yesterday and it is VERY addictive as you can have several games going with different people all at once and you can also play at your own pace.  Meaning if you are playing it one minute and something comes up and you have to put it aside or even go to bed for the night or you are driving - then you can pick back up where you left off when you get the time.  It is called "Words with Friends" and is FREE.  It is scrabble for the smartphone and I love it - it is SO much fun!  You can either look your friends up by their usernames or you can play someone randomly - whichever.  But, if you'd like to play along with me - my username is:  stvntra so be sure and look me up!  Also there is a place within the app and the game that whoever you are playing you can shoot them a quick text message too - so if you decide to play along with me (which I totally suck at the game by the way so you would win - LOL) then let me know who you are!

On to my normal Friday WW Weigh-in - I lost 1 pound this week - I am now down to 126.4 - YAY!  Only 11.4 more pounds to go til goal weight! :o)

So what are on your agendas today and this weekend?  Anything fun and exciting?  I can't wait to catch up and hear all about it  - so be sure and drop me a comment so I can know you were here and I will do the same for you over the weekend!  I know I'm behind on returning the favor on the comments but life has just been crazy this week.  I hope you will understand and forgive me. :o)

Have a wonderful day and an even better weekend my friends and thanks for stopping by!

She's Out of my League

Well good morning and good afternoon my peeps! How the heck are ya?  Great, I hope!  I am doing good - just tired as usual but what's new, right?! *sigh*  Anywho the husby and I rented a movie last night called "She's Out of my League" and it was SOOO CUTE and FUNNY!  We were both really impressed and surprised at how good it turned out to be.  I'm so glad that he and I both enjoy a lot of the same movies and tv shows - it really helps when we are laying in bed watching tv and the other likes what's on too. HA! 

An airport security man meets a girl described as a perfect 10. However, his own lack of confidence and the suspicions of his friends and family begin to sabotage the relationship.

It was a movie that made you think and realize that true love is not all about looks and that you've got to like their brains and their personality, etc., as well.  Even when you have your family and friends telling you that you're not good enough to be with that "hot" girl or "hot" guy and they wonder "why that person is with you" - you have to follow your heart and your instincts and not listen to other people and what they say. 

I tend to be that way a lot - don't get me wrong, I care about what other people think but only to an extent.  I am one who always seeks out other opinions from anyone and everyone, that is close to me, on several different matters - no matter what the subject is. (drives my husband CRAZY)  But, I also always try and follow my heart as much as possible and let it lead me - unfortunately, for me, that has also gotten me into a lot of trouble over the years (when it came to men especially) as I have made some awful mistakes thinking that I was dating a great guy or that the girlfriend I was hanging out with was a great friend - trust me when I say I've been VERY wrong on both counts quite a few times. 

It took me until I was 29 years old LITERALLY to get it right with both my girlfriends and my husband. :o)  I have some awesome girlfriends back home that I miss TERRIBLY and it has been so hard making new friends here in New Jersey at my age.  I've never met a stranger in my life so as you can imagine - I talk to everyone - LOL  (also drives my husband crazy) :o)   However, the day I met my husband (and tried cancelling our first date 3 times)  and even talked on my cellphone to another guy that I was also dating at the time (while husby was in the car and we were on our date) -(I know, very tacky, right?)  I did manage to finally get it right with him.  I am very lucky that my husband is a loving and patient man is all I can say because I am sure I am not easy to live with at times (as he isn't) but luckily for the both of us what one of us lacks the other makes up for and so our personalities completely compliment each other and balance the other one out.  Which helps tremendously when your husband is a very sensitive man as mine is. :o)

Anyway, if you get a chance to rent the movie - you should do so - I think you will really enjoy it (well... only if you enjoy cute comedies like this one). :o) 

Thanks to all of you yesterday who commented on my beautiful mommy.  Yes, she is very young looking and luckily I got hers (and her mama's) genes in that category as I still get carded all of the time - even at the age of 42.  I just laugh it off as I think it's quite funny but am so happy to be blessed with young looks. :o)  Anyway, I can't wait to celebrate her BIG 6-0 with her and the rest of my family very very soon.  I hope she will like her birthday present we had made for her.  Once I get back I will be sure and upload a picture of it for you all to see.  I was going to try and make it myself but have just ran completely out of time.

Have a wonderful and blessed day my peeps and thanks for stopping by!

Lots of love and hugs,
