Ten Things





Once a month my dear friend, Emmy, hosts TEN THINGS TO SMILE ABOUT.  If you haven't done it before or never heard of it, this where she takes time to reflect on ten things that made her smile during the month.  I love this assignment because it reminds us of the good things we have whether they be simple or grand!  So come on and link up!  

1.  A weekend of swimming with friends and family 
Photo by Emmy
2.  Successful first days of school

3.  Naps
Theirs AND mine!
4.  Milestones in my weight loss journey
5.  Getting that cool shot you've been waiting for!

6.  Kristin for buying her family the game of Life with her babysitting money
7.  Emily for putting out bowls for people in the mornings for breakfast
8.  Ryan for being a good helper
9.  Brownies--well they do!
10.  Having such a successful hit with my FB post last week, that I have decided to turn it in a monthly meme!!

Starting Sept 14th, Emmy and I will be hosting:  THE STATUS QUOTE Where we gather up our friends status updates and post them.  More details to come at the first official meme approaches.  We hope you all come to play!!

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
