Gracias Mamá & Amigo!

This is my Mom, last night she came over to help me hang “new” curtains in our living room. We have been a very long time without curtains on our windows in the living room because I was hoping to get blinds instead of curtains. For months I have been searching for the perfect set of blinds.








Have you ever known in your head exactly what you want but are unable to find it for real? Well that was my situation with the blinds for our living room windows. I guess my friend LeeAnn got tired of seeing my windows bare because she actually gave me these curtains.
Thanks so much LeeAnn, they really changed the look of my room and I love them!!


BIG hugs to my Mommy!!
Thanks for all your help last night! ~xoxo~

Weigh Day Results!

Everyone in our group had weight loss this week!

Between all of us we lost over 60 lbs!

Congratulations to all my co-workers who are working so hard so that they can live happy & healthy lives!!

Weigh Day #1

Tomorrow is the big day…the weigh in at work for our “Wait” Watchers group. I am so excited for our first weigh day. I hope I lost some weight or I am going to be very discouraged because I have stuck to the program and counted every single point, every day since we started.

I will report back tomorrow and let you all know how it turned out!!

Catching Up With Bullets

Some quick bullets to catch up, because the days keep slipping by and my posts are few and far between…

· So Larry is now back to work after a long time off due to shoulder surgery and extended physiotherapy. He is working some odd hours and I am missing him like crazy when he works in the evenings. After having him home all the time for the last few years, this is going to take a lot of getting used to. I hope it will get easier as time passes.

· Thursday was our first ~“Wait” Watchers~ meeting at work. For the next 20 weeks we will have meetings at work and encourage & support each other through this weight loss program. I have been excited to start so I hope I will do well.





· Thank goodness vacation season is soon over. I feel like I have been at the office more than I have been home.

· Last weekend Larry & I enjoyed an evening of N!ntendo “wee” with friends. We had a super fun night and can’t wait til’ Christmas because now the “wee” is at the top of our wish list. So Santa, if you read my blog add us to your list of “wee” requests this Christmas.


















· Larry, Mom, Len & I went out for supper, at a local restaurant, a few weeks ago and I was so shocked when our meal arrived I just had to snap a picture. I ordered fish & chips, and check out the size of this!

(Some words in the above post are spelled wrong on purpose so that my blog does not show up on every search for this weight loss & game system)

I am very sad to see it go but I hope you all enjoy the last full week of summer!

Pictures...Finally!

After a lot of time and work here are some of my favourite pictures from our vacation to PEI.

I loved making this so I hope you enjoy the show!


(If you click on the corner above, where it says scrapb1og, it should open another window so you can see the pictures larger)

Hopefully it was worth the wait!

The Big Two-Oh!!

Work In Progress...

I am still working at getting a post done from our vacation to PEI. We did so much while we were there that it is taking me a long time to get through all of the pictures.

I am such a picture freak that I have over 900 photo's from our vacation to go through and figure out which ones to share with all of you. I can't narrow it down enough so that you all won't fall asleep before the end of the slideshow, lol!

Hopefully by the end of this week I will have something put together.

Here is a little sneek peek...




We finally had a warm & sunny day today! (We have been having a lot of rain lately.) LeeAnn & I went to the beach today to soak up some rays and relax. We had a nice day and I hope we have a few more so we can do it again before the end of summer.

Enjoy your week everyone!

Today Is The Beginning...

Amazing Talent

I have been watching America’s G0t Ta1ent this year and some of the contestants win your heart & vote with their introduction stories they tell before they perform, and others just hit a more personal note. The video below is a little girl named Victoria Jacoby, she is a beautiful girl adopted from China when she was 6 months old. Victoria is a very naturally talented child that has stolen my heart. I was totally in awe as this little girl addressed the judges and performed her talent with ease. A few episodes back Victoria was evicted from the competition. Unfortunately this week one of the acts that were remaining in the final 40 spots on the show had a serious injury forcing them to withdraw. Therefore, there is now an open spot in the contest and they are letting America choose who they want to put back in the competition and Victoria is one of the possible eight acts to vote back in!!

Take a look at the video below and after you watch it if you feel that Victoria should be put back into the competition then click HERE and vote for her.

I'm Back ... Kind Of ...

Late last night we arrived home and tomorrow I head back to work...

Vacation went WAY too fast, but we had a great time and can't wait to go again.
(I hope we will be going next year to meet Fliss ... hint, hint) ;o)

Deb - Not sure how I missed your comment a few posts back, but I did. Sorry we didn't get chance to meet up this time but we will be back soon and hopefully next time we will get to meet your little one as well!

I will do a proper vacation post sometime this week and post lots of pictures too.


(I tried to add a few pictures tonight to hold you over but Bl0gger is being a pain in the butt and won't let me, I guess you will just have to wait.)
