What can I say about myself that is interesting to someone else. Hmmmm..... I am a mother, first and foremost and my kids are very important to me. Also, even though this was hard to admit, I am a Grandma. Love them soooo much. I am also a girl friend. I have someone in my life who loves me. It's a wonderful feeling. Also, I have a great job. I am not going to reveal how many years I have worked at my job in the travel business but it is over a quarter of a century. Yikes!!! Anyway, thanks for visiting me. I will try to update and keep my blog interesting so you can keep up with me and my life.

Children's Easter Party

Just wanted to share a few pics of the Easter Party we had for the kids at the club. 
We made up 30 Easter Baskets for the kids.  All donations!!!  My girls really came through again!!

Xavier won the egg relay race!!
Sponge Bob Square Pants made an appearance!!
And these are the cupcakes I made.  I was so excited how they came out.  Even the adults were asking to eat one.  The kids loved them.

I want to talk about this guy!

The reason I decided to blog about him today?  We went out last night for “Date Night”.  Now usually we end up going to our neighborhood watering hole for the usual burger and drinks.  But for whatever reason he wanted to try someplace new.  All day I was excited.  We were trying a place we had never been.  Now the real story……much of the time he was complaining about parking, or how crowded it was or the outrageous prices.  Ugh!!  I was a little annoyed.  But I just went with it and listened to what he had to say.  
At the end of the night I lay in bed and thought about the evening.  Was I annoyed with him, YES!!  But I couldn’t stop thinking about this man.  He is a very hands-on man.  Everyone calls on him when they need something done.  He doesn’t like to pay anyone to do any projects at our house.  He likes to complete them himself.  This is not a man who comes home and sits in front of the TV after work.  He is always on a project. He is always fixing, creating, installing, tinkering or building something.  
This is a man that is dependable.  He works hard and always tries to keep me happy.  He knows me better than anyone.  He came into my life unexpectedly, at a time when I really wasn’t looking to be in love.  He is a simple man.  He doesn’t need much in life to keep him happy.  Luckily one of the things he needs is me. 
He will never read this post. He doesn’t ever read my blog, but I am using my blog as sort of a diary and this is something that I really wanted to put out there.  The moral to my story, I am not sure.  He is who he is and I need to just let him be.

Random

I woke up this morning feeling great!!  I am down 12 pounds and lovin the way I feel today.  Guess what the secret is, eating right and working out.  Who would have thought? Right?  I have been going to a Zumba class with the girls at the office.  I LOVE THIS WORKOUT!!  Also I ordered the Turbofire workout and started that last week.  LOVE it!!  I think I finally found two workouts that keep me motivated.  I also helped to start a Zumba class at the club I belong to.  It is a little slow paced but the ladies there just wanted to get moving so I am helping with that.

I am right now eating my favorite breakfast.  Two turkey sausage links and two pieces of Milton's bread with peanut butter.  YUM!!  Milton's bread for breakfast makes me not even think about food until after lunch time.  At one I finally hear my stomach telling me to eat.

I got some new lip stick that I am soooo pleased with, I thought I would share it.  It is Cover Girl lip stain.  My new lip stick!!  I am all about nice looking lips.  I apply the stain and then I put a little gloss over the top for some shine.


I also got a new hair cut.  I tried to take pics but I am the worst.  So I look crazy in this pic but at least you can see the "do".

Told you it was just a random post!!  Thanks for stopping by.
