another 2 weeks and another blog update...

so, i continue to lack skills in keeping this blog current.
i will back up with what i have been up to.
we bbq'd at cimi and randy's tonite as mary had come up from bonita springs for the weekend. she is the first family member that has been truly hit by this recession. salary and hours cut for her. what a sad thing to have all of a sudden your income changed dramatically without warning. she is coping and is searching. our prayers and thoughts are with mary.
last evening we had another bbq at bonnie and rob's to do our weekly survivor night. got to meet rob's sister from boston, so we also enjoyed, boston beating the yankees in baseball prior to watching a great blindside on survivor. we are all so psyched that tyson is now OFF! watch out coach.
i then had worked the previous night cause the two before that i was traveling to and from miami for the annual star academy celebration for the top macys florida performers. we stayed at the biscayne marriot overlooking the bay and the way to the ocean. i forgot how pretty theviews in that part of town is. now the neighborhood on the other hand is not so nice, but we hung out with all of our peeps and had a wonderful time.
last weekend i spent sat and sun doing yardwork and gardening. i planted 3 gardenia bushes, a rose bush that will not die (hopefully), some lirope, some pretty flowers in the front and some impatiens in the back. i also mulched all of the gardens when finished and then i even put in a brick border the length of the front walk on both sides.
whew, i was a little sore on monday so that day was just a i do not want to do anything day.
prior to that it was all work since easter sunday.
now everyone is caught up.
i do stay in touch with everyone's blogs and love to be in the loop with all of the kids. i so enjoy seeing them all grow so fast and to also see all of my little nieces be big mommies. so to leave you for the week here is the favorite pic i took. enjoy.

Easter Sunday thoughts

Happy Easter to all. Just a short note to let everyone know what's going on. Nothing exciting happening here. Just worked all week, had a guy ring my bell and fix my gutter just now, went to Easter Services this morning with Dago and then we had brunch. Friday went to New Smyrna beach for my first beach trip this year. Loved spending the day with O and her mom, Bonnie. Watched Survivor and was bummed that we could not vote anyone off, oh there is always next week. Just a normal week in a normal life with a normal woman. Love to all.

day off and the cable company

so another day off and another visit from the local cable company. interesting what you go through when trying to save money. but the cable company is doing it the right way this time. this guy has crawled around my really tiny attic rewiring the cables. YEAH! this means that the signal will now be what it is supposed to be. my week at work is over. it just seemed that it took forever to be done. we got together with our survivor dinner group last night. pizza this week, it was my turn, and no time to cook. dago picked up the dessert, he does pick out really good ones and we watched the show. i am really glad stephanie go voted off. taj needs to get the idol back on her person, cause those guys look like they could mess with her. and who is going to watch harper's island? mmmm looks interesting.
