April was “no joiner fee” month for the Y, so we decided to take the plunge into the gym world. Since Saturday, we have experienced the treadmills, the weight room, group class, and the pool. At least we’re starting out on the right foot. Maybe I can get back to my figure of long ago….

It’s my party, and we’ll do what I want to…
Birthday’s were always SO big in my house growing up. The birthday person was always made to feel so special and had free reign for the day to do or not do whatever they wanted (within reason, of course). Birthdays are not as big of a deal to my wonderful husband. Maybe he would agree…
Take the test… Are you happy?
Oprah did a show on Happiness the other day. I thought it quite interesting. See how happy you are…..take the test I think the concept is that you can affect your happiness by your outlook on life and the circumstances you face.

Terror at Virginia Tech
I’m sitting here watching the CNN coverage of this horrific story. How could a 23 year old think this was his only course of action? Listening to the accounts of the survivors is horrifying.

The Big Day
St. Patrick’s Day was the BIG day. The big day for Sam and Heather that is. And for me too, since I was the Wedding Planner. Heather likes to call me J-Lo b/c of her movie, “The Wedding Planner” although I didn’t have the cool headset that she sported in the film. As weddings usually…
A New Baby!
Can you tell I’m trying to catch up on all that’s been going on?? I’m doing my best… Tuesday morning, Baby Marli arrived! Chris’s cousin Amy went in for a c-section with the fabulous Dr. Peach by the way. He’s my ob too, and I love, love, love him. Everything went well with the delivery…
Happy Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s is a day that many do not love. For the single (especially female) it can be a stark reminder of all that you do not have. For the unhappily married, it brings regret and lost hope of what could be. For the forgetful hubby, it can be a day of disappointing the one he…
