Talkin’ About Traveling

Filed under: Travel — gardener @ 1:34 am

A few days ago Marcel and I were talking about vacations. He brought up the subject, and he started asking me if I’d been to various places such as Los Angeles and the Outer Banks. I was able to say that I’d been to LA, but I couldn’t remember ever going to the Outer Banks, unless I just passed through on the way to somewhere else. I rememeber hearing alot about Outer Banks vacations when I lived in Virginia, and since then I’ve heard numerous other people talk about how beautiful it is there. He said that maybe we should go sometime. Maybe he’s right. There are so many places I want to see, I’m sure my list will never be completed.

Where is your favorite U.S. travel destination? I loved San Luis Obispo, CA and traveling up Hwy 1, plus I love Williamsburg, VA and Roanoke, VA area and the mountains. Again, there are so many places that I haven’t seen.

On to the 40’s Club

Filed under: Life — gardener @ 1:30 am

I spend the evening last night in the company of Desere, Hein and her family and friends. It was her 39th birthday, and next year she’ll join me in the 40’s club. Granted, I have a few years head start on her, but after much fretting about making it into my 40’s, I have to say that I happen to like it.

I really like her family, so it was great to see them again and have a chance to talk to them. I also enjoyed getting out and not having to think about work or anything else for a while. I think that’s the only downfall to working at home, you can always find yourself being drawn back to your work, when there are other things you should be doing as well. I’m definitely not complaining though, I love my work and wouldn’t have things any other way.

One thing I have been missing in tis little space is what I’m grateful for each day. The weeks before Thanksgiving I put things on my Facebook status, and that’s when I realized that I missed it so much, so expect to see more of what I’m grateful for, starting today.

Hitting it Big

Filed under: Travel — gardener @ 5:11 pm

My sister in law told me a few days ago that she’s always wanted to visit Las Vegas. She has huge dreams of hitting the jackpot, but I told her that I would imagine that anyone who ever visits the casinos and plays hopes to hit the jackpot.

Personally, gambling is not my thing, I’d rather take my money and have fun with something like the shows. In fact, I could go to las vegas hotels and never even think about going to the casino, but instead spend my time by the pool and going from one show to the next.

What about you?

Am I Seeing Things?

I see sunshine- and blue skies- and NO rain! I almost feel like I’m hallucinating. I could use this weather for the rest of the month-

More from me a little later, but I’m sooo grateful for this sunshine that I had to share.

Wouldn’t You Know?

Filed under: Health/ Fitness,Life — gardener @ 11:56 am

Well I finally did start working out again, only to find that the next day (yesterday) my favorite monthly friend decided to pay a visit and brought cramps with a vengance. I know, that is probably a little more information than you’d actually like to know, but it’s true. I have been hurting, but once this little week has passed, I’ll be doing regular work outs. I need to and I know it. I feel better, and even though I’m grumbling all the way through the work out, I always feel better afterwards. I think I cried through half of my work out the other day, because I felt annoyed with myself for letting other things get in the way of me taking care of me.

That’s not going to happen again. It may sound selfish, but if I don’t take care of myself, then how can I take care of anyone else?
It’s time for some changes. Now that JJ is better with his potty training, and I’ve found a balance… look out world 🙂
