Belated Wish List Wednesday

So I just got back from partly sunny/rainy Florida. I will say that we did get into our bathing suits every day we were there. It is certainly better than the cold New York weather. We had such a wonderful time catching up with our old friends and having our children really get to know one another. My son even wrote about our trip for the school news and wrote that he loves them. I had tears in my eyes. We had a wonderful time!!!!

I was tagged by my friend Kwana . She is letting me off the hook because I am soo busy this week. I still haven't unpacked or put all of the laundry away. Maybe next time.

I am a little late for Wish List Wednesday but I feel I must keep the fans happy!!!

Some New Wishes:

1. Traveling more often - the memories are always so wonderful
2. Organizing this messy desk
3. Finally putting away all the clothes from our vacation
4. Enjoying the next couple of months with the kids - (they are going to sleep away camp for 7 1/2 weeks)
5. Hoping James gets kicked out of Big Brother this Sunday!!!

I am off to making dinner and putting away some of these clothes. I then have pick up a bunch of boxes of girls scout cookies, pick up my daughter from a play date , pick up 5 boys from a baseball clinic and finally dropping them all off!!! I am exhausted just thinking about it!!!

Wish List Wednesday

It's been a crazy couple of days getting ready to leave for Florida tomorrow. Unfortunately I don't have much time for blogging. I decided I couldn't miss Wish List Wednesday!!! Yesterday I took my mom for a colonoscopy. She is high risk because four years ago she had stage 3 lung cancer. Today she is cancer free and yesterday the Doctor came out to me and said her colon is clean and she doesn't need to come back for 5 years. So my wish for today is that good health continues for my mom. She has been amazingly strong over the last couple of years. Looking forward to spending a couple of days with some great friends in Florida. I guess my second wish would be sunny skies in Florida!!!

Lunching With The Ladies/Happy St. Patrick's Day

After putting in my 4th load of laundry I did a fast shopping at Syms. I was very successful last year with a bunch of tankinis. They have a large selection of designer tankini bathing suits that were last year's fashions. I don't care when it came out I just care about how they fit. Of course I have 17 different versions of black tankinis. The price tag on these suits are from $80 to about $120 and Syms sells them for .......$29!!!!! After trying on about 10, 2 fit and looked pretty darn good. The reason for the rush for a new suit is we are heading to Florida for Easter weekend to visit some friends. Weather permitting I plan on playing in the pool and beach the whole time.

I then pick up my gals Patricia and Kwana to go for a birthday lunch for my dear friend Patricia. I haven't been feeling great but a little dose of the ladies and I always feel so much better. Lunch was great. I had a yummy portabella mushroom & Gorgonzola salad. The waiter threw in the chocolate mousse cake for free.

Happy Birthday Patricia!!!! I hope you had a wonderful day!!!!

I am now cooking corn beef and cabbage in honor of St. Patty's day and my house smells great!!!

I can't wait for dinner!!!

Clean-Up Day!!!

So this morning I got up early (note I am not a morning person) and helped clean up our town with my daughter. We went around our town with a large garbage bag, rubber gloves, and I of course put on the orange vest. I totally embarassed my daughter but I didn't care. I literally stoped traffic. Since we live in a very small town we knew everybody driving by and doing errands in town. They all wanted to know what I got arrested for!!! It was very rewarding. The children even got a free a slice of pizza and soda donated from our 2 local pizza places.

Just want to give a shout out to my friend Jill whose Birthday is today!!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

Thank G-d it's Friday

I may ramble on because I just had 2 glasses of wine with dinner. Had a great day. Instead of doing my usual spinning class I took a walk with a friend. I thought it would save some time and be a bit easier. Well, I was wrong. My friend walks so fast and chooses all the steepest hills in the neighborhood. I am sure my tushy will hurt tomorrow.

Had Chinese and did some shopping with another friend. I helped her comb the racks. You know go into a discount store and find quality trendy items. We found her a cool dress and shirt. That is one of my favorite things to do!!!

I then had 2 of my daughter's friends come over for a play date and dinner before their 5th grade activity night. I need to do this more often. Boy do you learn a lot just hanging out in the kitchen with them.

Finally, had a nice Shabbat dinner with the hubby and the son. It is nice to have one child to ourselves.

Just waiting for the tween to get home. Hopefully she had fun.

Reality TV - Haven!!! - Spoiler Alert

So last night was a reality TV junkie's dream. First big Brother. Boy what a twist. I wanted James out and I also voted to have Alex brought back into the house. I was with America this time. Not only is James back in but on Showtime after hours they show the winner of the HOH and it was James!!!!

2nd - American Idol. No surprises there. I picked the bottom three along with America again. 2 in a row I am not usually on board with America. I must be conforming...

3rd- America's Top Chef. I just loved every minute. There was a clear loser in this challenge. Good thing it airs late otherwise I would be raiding my kitchen. Some of the food looked soooo delicious.

Onto tonight looking forward to Survivor.

Any other reality TV Junkies???

Wish List Wednesday

I was with my knitting buddies this morning (really a rap session) and they said I need to start putting my wishes on my blog so my blog name makes sense.

After seeing the crazy video "The Secret" I did create a visualization book. It is my book of wishes. My children and I created books for oursleves a couple of months ago. So far 2 wishes have already come true.... I got my 42" Plasma TV in my room and we just went on the Queen Mary 2 during President's weekend break. In my book I have a picture of myself in a bikini .... I will let you know when this wish comes true.... I have been doing double classes at the gym and I think it is working slowly.

Today I am adding 2 more things to my book. A laptop ( so I can blog in any room) and an ipod nano(to listen to books on CD). My shuffle can't do it.

I will keep you posted all all wishes that come true!!!
