I Was So Happy and Excited I Couldn't Sit Still !
Ok.. So, I thought it was Vegas for My Birthday. As a matter a fact, I was sure it was going to be Vegas! I was working on ways to not be so scared of flying. I was trying so hard to imagine a flight with no fear. I want to get over the whole fear. I will... BUT, there's no hurry. It's not Vegas for my Birthday. It's something else. *Big happy sigh.....
A CRUISE!!!!!!!!! MY FAVORITE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wooohoooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hubby and I are going on a Cruise to Nowhere! On our favorite Ship ever! The NCL is having a weekend Cruise on the "Dawn". She is the most beautiful ship! We're sailing out on April 18th. Ok, so it's not during the weekend of my Birthday. BUT I DON'T CARE!!! I am beside myself with excitement!!!! And, because it falls right between my Birthday and his..it will be a double Birthday celebration!! :) A grown up's ONLY cruise. Nothing but fun! Dinner, Dancing, partying, and celebrating! :)
Can't wait. This is the best Birthday present ever!!!!!!
And then, in August - we will go on the same ship, same suite, and head to Bermuda for a week!!!! As a family. :) :) :) Can't wait!!!!!!!!

Monday!!! Good Morning! Happy Day!

And - this is the month of sweetness!!!
I did capture a few pictures of some of my sweet friends and family this weekend....
But the photo's are home! So, will post them soon!
Anyway, Happy Monday!!!!!
It was a nice weekend. And, yesterday was a beautiful day!!! Just gorgeous! It really felt like Spring! :) I can feel it in the air.....
The kids had a fun filled weekend. They are a handful! We had sleep overs here.. sleepovers there. Movies, Mall, different movies.. cheerleading...... and all sorts of fun. :) I love to see them having a great time. I love those kiddies!!!!
And, in between the taxiing around, hubby and I would steal a moment, here and there. We always find time to bond :). It's nice. I feel really really close to him. After 9 years together, we still have that magic. It's so nice. I love love love this man of mine :). And, we enjoyed our weekend together, with the family.
Last night, we had a Superbowl party. :) Well, sort of.... lol
Mom and Dad came over. They love the Superbowl. AND, they love Fred's cooking :) Oh... did I mention that they love our Big screen T.V? I think we were set up (lol). Mom was so cute, though. She kept saying what a great time she was having... And, that was enough for me! :)
So, that was our weekend. Full of LOVE and KISSES and lot's of good, family fun!
Happy Day!

WILL WORK FOR COFFEE!!!

lol @ Myself!
It's just been that kind of a week (so far). :)
But, I'm feeling good this morning - Despite the fact that I was up at 3:00 in the morning, searching the house for a "stalker". My poor daughter had a dream that someone was after her. She came to me crying her eyes out.. Had a bad bad dream. Poor thing. I got her settled back in her bed, but then I was wide awake!!!!!!
So, I doubt I could get enough coffee today!!!!
Other than that - everything is okay. Just another week.
Lot's to do here at work. The students are back, and they're in the office all day long!!! It's nice to have them here. Makes the day more eventful!
What else?? I don't know. I have a lot in my head. I just don't have the time or energy the last few days to jot it down. Maybe later!

Its Sunday.
Freezing cold..
Went out first thing this morning for a haircut.
Lillian always does a beautiful job.
This is a different cut for me.
SHORT! Well, short for me. Right at the shoulders...
First session with my personal trainer today.
Not bad.
I felt it a lot in my arms, and legs.
I feel a little weak right now.
My body is wondering what the heck just happened!
Hubby is in detox.
He's quitting smoking - cold turkey.
It's like (I've been told) detoxing from heroin.
Tough.
Trying to be the best I can for him right now.
Tough stuff......
Getting ready to go grocery shopping.
I need more fruit. :)
And, other regular stuff :)
The kids are doing their own thing, here at home.
They're happy to have tomorrow off from school.
Me? I have work.
And, the Rider kids will all be back, and classes will begin.
I enjoy blogging.
Sometimes I don't feel like -
But, I'm always glad once I've taken the time to do it.
Life is a roller coaster.
Sometimes it's way up...
Sometimes it's really down..
And, there's the straight and steady.
Right now, it's a ride.
And, it's important for me to document things..
For me.

It's gorgeous out there today!!! Hard to believe after the storm we had last night. It took me forever to get home, and now... Beautiful!
The best part about it all.... it's FRIDAY!!!!!!!! I am very happy about that :-)
I have nothing to report. I have been laying low, and not much going on. And, I've been a little tired this week. However, this morning I seem to have extra good energy!!! Must be Friday energy!
Will blog more today. I have extra time on my hands these days - and need a place to express myself!!!
Be back!

2 more days!! Me and my personal trainer are going to have lots of fun! It should be quite an adventure! I'm anxious, and excited about the whole new routine! I can't wait! I'm going to have a lot to blog about!! I'm just hoping that I have enough strength to type when he gets done with me! :) (lol)

Happy Day!
Much better this morning :)
Had a nice Family Dinner out last night. Went to the Olive Garden for the first time in years! It was nice. A tough place to eat when following a low carb eating plan. But, I did it. No carbs no carbs no carbs!! :) That is a huge deal, when eating at any Italian Restaurant!
Hubby and I are going to be starting our new exercise plan. I can't wait!! I'm very excited!!! I'll be posting on my blog about that, also. And, he plans on recording it, on video! So, it should be very interesting! lol :)
So, it's Hump Day!!!! We're 1/2 way through the work week!! Let's hang in there!!!!
Blog more soon!

Tuesday
Feelin Blue.....

So, it's Tuesday. Here we are again.....
It's cold out!! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
And, I'm not feeling as "chipper" as usual. This is part of my blogging for 2008. Truth, and honesty about how I'm feeling.
Ever since I got back from my nice, perfect, sexy, sweet weekend.... I have been feeling very disconnected from everything. I've been trying to keep busy, so that the time passes, and everything falls back into place. But, I still feel a little blue.
A lot going on. Sometimes it's tough.. I tend to go with the flow very easily, but sometimes my emotions catch up. All I can say is this.. I am very happy with my life, I just wish this week gets a little better.
Today, I will keep my chin up, and remember what's important, and why I'm here....
Happy Tuesday.
