Caught up......

Ok, so I've been caught up on two other network sites that I've neglected my blog.......how rude. A high school mate has started a website for our class and the past few days I've been caught up observing and re-connecting with those I graduated with.

And then there's facebook, ah hum bug..........that think is too complicated. I'm sure I'm making it worse by not taking the time to read anything. But goodness, who has the time to do all of that.

At any rate, I'll be sure to make a few substantial posts over the weekend or next week. Cause really aint jack else going on with me. I've fallen behind in school and a group project is due the top of next month. Not too mention I'm supposed to get my niece this weekend, so how the heck am I gonna manage.......in fact this is the list of tasks I need to complete this weekend:

*get my niece
*costco
*visit Jazz
*scan and upload pics
*homework
*group project assignment
*burlington coat factory
*visit cuzn
*hit the track for an hour or so
*wash at least three loads of clothes
*iron clothes for next two work weeks

I'm sure there are a few other things I'm supposed to do as well, but I can't readily recall at the moment. And I'm supposed to go out today after work, so that's not helping much. But then next week is a 3 day work week.

Anyway.......hope you are having a GREAT FRIDAY, and have a good weekend.

Fwd: Inspirational Message

If you want to identify me, ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I think I am living for, in detail, and ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the thing I want to live for. Between these two answers you can determine the identity of any person.

Randoms

I've finally caught up some on my blog reading. I have about 300 or so posts to go thru.

If McCain had won, would he commit to working with Obama, as Obama is said to be committed to working with McCain?

If Hilary had won, would she have chosen Obama as her Secretary of State?

Sipping

I saw something online yesterday for Lemon Ginger Echinacea Tea. So last night I went to my local grocery store looking for it. And the closet I got was this:







And it's really tasty......I've been sipping on it all day. I've had two cups so far and I'm debating whether or not to go make a third cup.


I'll definitely have to keep this in my cupboard for the winter weekends.

Vacation recap

Ok, so I have a few minutes to spare. Let me briefly and quickly recap my Mexico vacation.

We left Saturday morning with no real major issues to report. Although we allowed a salesman to waste about 20 minutes of our time when we first arrived in Mexico. He was trying to get us to attend a timeshare presentation.
The drive to the resort was about 45-50 minutes, and the driver barely spoke English. The check in process when we arrived at our resort was fine, no delay or problems. That evening we didn’t do much but relax, unwind and walk thru the resort. Although it was dark we snapped a few pics…..LOL

The first full day, we got an early morning call 8 am from our resort rep reminding us to meet her at 12 noon for a little chit chat. She told us about some excursions and let us know when to check for our pick up information for our departure. We then had lunch and went to the beach and pool.

Tuesday we pretty much relaxed and spent time on the beach and pool side again. Tuesday night the featured entertainment was Moulin Rouge. The group did good and I enjoyed the show.

Wednesday we rode ATV’s, and got so dirty it was a mess………..I mean my black eyebrows were brown from all the dirt and dust…….it was funny. But I had a good time. Wednesday night was the Michael Jackson show. The backup dancers were really good, although Michael look-a-like was abit stiff.

Thursday Mister went scuba diving in the morning while I laid around. Then we had lunch, went to the beach where I kayaked for the first time. Now, I can’t swim so I was too scared to venture beyond the barriers.

Friday we did the Tulum tour. There weren’t as many stone buildings as I thought. But the beach was beautiful. This was a half day activity, so once we got back we grabbed a bite to eat and headed down to 5th Avenue. And can I just say it was much more than I expected. I was thinking we were headed to a little flea market, but to my surprise there were countless stores, they even had a Johnny Rockets and Starbucks. We walked around for about 3 hours before catching a cab back to the resort.

Saturday morning we bid farewell to our room and the resort as we headed back home. The first leg of the trip was cool, but the second………man this lady behind us complained so dang on much I wanted to slap the taste out of her mouth.

And then Sunday, well I had a list of things I wanted to get done, but all I did was lay around the house all dang on day. And now that Monday is gone, I’m hoping today (Tuesday) and tomorrow will go by quickly. But it aint even noon yet!

Hope you are having a splendid Tuesday!

I's grinding

I've been pretty caught up thus far with work. So no real time for a post. But I'll definitely do a brief summary of my week in Mexico in a few hours or so. I didn't anticipate being this busy today, but I should have expected. I mentally noted the first few things I needed to get done when I got here:

* complete timesheet
* check and catch up on e-mails
* expense reports
* daily batches

But in addition to that, I've been trying to catch up on my blog reading as well. I had well over one thousand posts to read. And as you can imagine that is quite a task. Not too mention my supervisor came in and reminded me of a deadline tomorrow COB for monthly tasks to be completed. So I'm hoping that by 5 I can start type up my vacation summary and post.

Hope you are having a good day!

You Are a Learning Cook



You've got the makings of an excellent cook, and the desire to be one.

But right now, you're just lacking the experience. You couldn't be a top chef yet, but you could be an apprentice.

You Are the Bow Pose



You are an open hearted person. You seek connections and make them easily.

You are naturally generous - especially with your love and your time.



You have a knack for thinking up interesting ideas. You are an inventor and a creator.

You approach everything in life with a relaxed attitude. You accept what you can't change.

I'm back

Hey Blog world.......I'm back from my Mexican vacation. And it was great, I started typing up details when I first got there, but after the first day......um, well what had happened was: Shucks I was on vacation. So for the details, it'll be brief and from memory, which these days is not so great. I'll provide them in a post later this week. But for now I thought I'd share some photos:


Here's a picture of the water fountain at the pool:



Here's me in my get-up for the ATV, nope I didn't drive:



I sat down for a bite to eat the first full day and I look to my left and this is what I saw:



I was totally amazed as the blue water called out to me!

And here's another pic of the beach and water:



We rode ATV's to this park with a pond or lake (can't readily recall the name) but this is the water:




Hope you are having a good weekend!
