Through The Tulips

There is so much going on right now that the one thing I think I need more than anything is a vacation. I had a great day yesterday with a baby shower for a friend of mine, given by another friend, but came home to find out that someone I love back home is in [...]

I haven’t written a dailiy gratitude list in a while, but even though I haven’t, I still take some time each day to be grateful for all the wonderful things in my life. There are many, and I know without a doubt that I am blessed. My Gratitude List for February 24, 2010. Today I’m [...]

Since it is that time of the month, my daily workouts came to a screeching halt, or a pause if you will. I hate it, because I was actually enjoying the way I was feeling knowing that I was burning the extra calories and on the road to dropping the pounds again. I’m still on [...]

Now that Marcel and I have started going through our insurance policies, he’s decided that maybe it’s a good idea rather than to just check up on our life insurance, to check up on all of our insurance online and see if we can get better policies with more coverage for less money. I guess [...]

Marcel and I have been in this process of Spring cleaning since the weather hasn’t been good enough to do much of anything else. In that process, we’ve tossed a bunch of papers that we really have no use for anymore, making sure to shred them before we did. We also decided that it’s about [...]

A particular quote from that article resonated with me when [...]

Most people who know me know that I’m a huge fan of Doctor Oz. I know that he’s been given the moniker America’s Doctor, and I love that he is committed and dedicated to teaching us all how to live healthier, longer lives. I’m one of those odd people who love to go to the [...]

This morning I realized a couple of things. One is that it is getting daylight earlier than it was, which means that it’s also getting darker later. The days are getting longer, and that’s a sure sign that spring is on the way. I also was thrilled to wake up and look out the window [...]

I’m still thinking about travel today, and even thought about planning a weekend getaway for the weekend coming up, except Marcel has to work. I wish he could take the time off because I could really use a get-away but right now I just don’t see it in the cards. Who knows, maybe I’ll get [...]

I’m sitting here watching JJ attempt to bury his bone inside his crate and I can’t help but laugh. He’s so funny and animated and I honestly think he has the potential to be the best dog that I have ever owned, running a close second to our old family dog, Cocoa- who was brilliant. [...]
