Hello! It's March 14th. One Day after my birthday!

Yesterday was my birthday.  March 13th.  I love that date.  It makes me so happy.  I especially love March 13 when it falls on a Friday.  This year my birthday was on a Sunday.  Kinda bummed but it was okay.  Today, the 14th, my coworkers and friends are treating me to lunch at a mexican place called MEXICO.  Mexico has pretty good food.  The best part of the lunch is that I will be with my friends. 

Yesterday was a lazy day.  I went to Church and then came home and did nothing.  Well, not nothing.  I ate lunch and watched TV, did some cross-stitching and sat by my sister, Robin, and laughed and talked all day.  For dinner we ate Salmon and had relvet cake for desert.  I've been on a diet since January 15th so this cake, along with the vanilla ice cream, tasted SO GOOD!  I know you can imagine how delicious it was.  I wasn't going to have cake and ice cream for my birthday, but Robin said it was Good Luck to eat cake on your birthday.  So I ate cake and loved every minute of it.

During the day we watched an ESPN movie called the FAB 5.  At first I didn't want to watch it but we did anyway since there wasn't anything else on.  The film was about 5 freshman who joined the Michigan Wolverine basketball squad back in 1991.  It chronicles their 2 years while at Michigan and all the events and happenings during that time.  Both Robin and I really enjoyed watching this movie. I recommend this movie if you happen to see it advertised on ESPN.

That's about all for now.  I'll promise to write and update my blog more often!!

Aloha,

The Day After Thanksgiving

I like to wait until after Thanksgiving to put up the Christmas tree and start decorating. This morning Joe and I woke up and put away from "things" from around the house, and then put up the tree and other decorations.

We used a table cloth for the tree skirt.  It looks really cute.  The tree is artificial, but I don't mind.  Our place is small so the tree fits its surroundings.  I like to look at the decorations that I have purchased throughout my lifetime.  Some are hand me downs from my mom.  I guess I like the colors of green, red and white.

Cherie will be home is about 3 weeks.  I can't wait for her humor, personality and sweet spirit!!  I'll bet you she can't wait to come home to blue skies and sunshine.  Oh, and the beach!!  The weather has been beautiful and the beach is calling out to Cherie.  Cherie and the beach make a beautiful relationship!!

Here's wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Monday, September 20th

Here I am.  It's my first real Monday home from vacation with the entire week ahead of me.  I do have a meeting tomorrow at 1:00 pm for my doTERRA CPTG essential oil business.  Other than that, I have NO PLANS.

If I want my doTERRA oil business to be successful, I must have a plan.  I need to listen to or read my educational and motivational books and tapes.  This will give me insight and knowledge on what to do.

So I will start there.  Sounds good to me.  Oh, and eat my breakfast, feed the cat and take a walk later on in the day.  I love it!!
