No carbs, No pictures!

Ya, I know it doesn't make much sense to you but I'll explain. . . .

I am currently getting ready for our wedding reception (Sat, the 31st) and I am trying to maintain my figure, and of course, I'm staying away from "CARBS". I only have three more days to go after I make it through tonight. I can do it if I stay away form the TV, every commercial is food, bad Bad BAD food. Dairy Queen, Wendy's, Red Lobster, and my fav - Pizza Hut!!

Well since I can't have carbs, you can't see any new pictures. Darn - I know. I have my addictions and you have yours (to see my random pics). Just kidding. In all honesty I have nothing new and nothing incrimiating from past ones. Will correct that with the upcoming reception. Look out, and remember to smile!!

Dreaming . . .

This is one more example of the things I love about computers and the internet. I can be anyone and anywhere I would like with just punching some keys!!



I have to try harder to keep up with postings but other than getting ready for the reception coming up in less than 2 weeks I don't have much to write about.

I would really hope to get a new camera soon, maybe even one to take videos. I would be able to put more updates on here in more interesting ways. Once again there are sooooo many possibilities!!

Mother-in-Law Mother's Day Wish!

I realized being married I have to add the new "moms" in my life. I am so happy and grateful for all of my new additions! I don't have pics of them yet but in time if they sign the release form (JK-there's no form) I will post them!!

Kim- My new SIL, I am so happy you live so close and I look forward to many evenings grilling outside with you and your fam, watching baseball whether its one of Gabes games or on the outdoor TV.

Teresa- SIL, I always run into you so many places if it wasn't for our neighbor setting me and Jer up, I'm sure we would have found a connection in you down the road eventually.

Tammy- SIL, We've hung out a few times in the earlier times of mine and Jers connection, and I look forward to finding the time to do it again.

Emily and Gretchen- You are two of the most beautiful moms I know, and you passed it on to your children!!

Sally - (MIL) My new mom! For you I have a poem . . .

To My Mother-in-Law (my other Mother)

You are the mother I received

The day I wed your son,

And I just want to thank you, Mom,

For the loving things you've done.

You've given me a gracious man

With whom I share my life.

You are his lovely mother,

And I, his lucky wife.

You used to pat his little head,

And now I hold his hand.

You raised in love a little boy

And then gave me the man.

~poem by Judy Nilson

Actual Mother's Day 2008!

I posted my wishes to all the "moms" in my life last night, premature but I wanted to fit it in. I had plans this morning. Getting up early and making brunch for the local "moms". I really enjoyed playing Martha . . . decorating, creating inviting atmosphere, cooking/baking, cleaning, and drinking loads of Dunkin Doughnuts coffee!!

Everything was edible (most worried about . . . had visions of sending people to ER with food poisoning! No calls yet, whew!!)

My mom, sis, and grandma Betty made it over with stepdad, nephew, and sis BF. Missed were Stephmom (not typo, don't like sound of "step"), SIL Jess, step sis Jen, and grandma Mae and Donna!! You were thought of and missed!!

Of course, being a newlywed the subject was brought up as to when "I" would be celebrated on this day. I don't mind the question, in fact I always ask friends and clients in the same stage of life that very question.

It was easy to answer that before, I had an out . . . "ask me when I'm married." It worked for a while until I realized my parents were getting anxious for more grandchildren. They started responding . . ."you don't need to have a ring on that finger to get pregnant!"

So here I am at 34 and newly married. Finding a response to that question is getting harder and the details of when or if are not on the table yet. As now, I have a DH (dear husband) to consult with before I blab or blog to everyone our decision. I can tell you we are not pregnant and the rest will of the story will reveal as time passes.

So on this Mother's Day I'm sending everyone a special thoughts as I enjoy the moments of quiet and watch my shows on TV since DH is away fishing for the weekend!!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Here's to all the moms out there!! I hope your day if full of relaxation and appreciation for the other 363 days out of the year you are taken for granted!!

Our Honeymoon!

Here are some pics from our Honeymoon. I waited 34 years to see Universal Studio and SeaWorld. I only added a few since I'm sure you can only handle so much of someone else's vacation photos. Especially when they are in weather much nicer than ours currently. Oh well, we always have memories . . . to a certain age.

If we could only go back. Disney, . . . HERE I COME!! (someday)
