~Weigh In Day Uh Ohhh....~

Good Morning~

Today is my Weight Watcher's weigh in and meeting day.. I am keeping my fingers crossed that their scales show some sort of a weight loss for me today! I've been trying to fix my plate as pictured... Trying to watch my portions on everything.. I will be finding how soon how good of a job I've done!

Hope you all have a great Wednesday! These days seems to be going even faster than what they did before our time change! That top I'm on seems to be going faster and faster and faster! Like I'm in a whirlwind!! WHEW!!

The kids around here are on their Spring Break this week.. When I was working on the school bus, I think I looked forward to having Spring Break off about as much, if not even more than what the kids did!! It was sooo much fun sharing their excitement of having it off with them!! Ohhh, the laughter and giggles we had going on in our bus was totally awesome!! I sure do miss that and them!! I enjoyed all the years that I worked there, that's for sure!

I've got to get ready now... Wish me luck!!  Thank You! Have a wonderful day!

Blessings,

Look What All I Found!!

I went to The Bronze Leaf the other day and thought I'd share what I found with you all! Remember to click on each of the pictures to make them larger..and more detailed if you'd like to do so..

I love all the Blue Willow China! I am hoping to have my diningroom wall decorated with the Blue Willow China.. placing the platter in the middle and then have more china surrounding it.. I just love the look that Olive Garden and Zio's have with having their decorative plates hanging so pretty on their walls...

One can kind of see the Eiffel Tower on this mirror which is standing on the leftside of the mirror...

Now, here are just a few more pictures of items that I've got to redecorate our youngest son's bedroom with when I redo it to become our study/office in there.. My daughter, Michele and I and her father, who was in the US Army, lived in Schwetzingen, Germany for a year and a half, and we had the chance to go and visit Paris with our real good friends, Dave and Sue.. Dave was also stationed at the same Army base.. They were working on the Effel Tower the day we were there to visit, but we were able to go up to the second level, which was soooo awesome! We spent the night in Paris.. I also have my nice sized mirror that I want to hang in there too... along with my picture that looks like a stamped card sent from Paris..  

You see, when I was just a young little girl,  probably 8 or 9 years of age, I remember reading and seeing  somewhere in my geography book, a picture of the Eiffel Tower on one of the pages, and thought to myself... how great it would be to be able to see it.. sooo, I made 3 wishes, and one wish I made to myself, was being able to visit Paris and see the Eiffel Tower, knowing full well that in my wildest dreams it probably would never come true.. Well, lo and behold, it did come true!! I was so happy and sooo tearstruck when I laid my eyes on it! A little girl's dream coming true! I was 23 years old at the time I saw it.. Never give up on your dreams... Ever!!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you all had a nice weekend.. Ours went well.. and I'm so glad that my husband is feeling better.. This was his first day back to work in a week.. He's still clearing his throat a tad bit, but is feeling so much better... We both say Thank You for all your thoughts and prayers that you left on my blog! ♥ you all!!

~Agenda List!~

Good Morning~
 My hubby is on his way to feeling better! I'm so glad about that! He's almost back to his ol self, which is good!

Not sure what's on my agenda list for today.. but, I've got plenty on my to do list before leaving for Jamie's in less than a couple weeks.. Sure hope I get it all done! I've got to find me some shorts and/or capri's somewhere and possibly some new flip flops to take.. I'd like to get my hair trimmed and my color touched up, and I've got to go to my dr's and dentist appointments next week.. plus decide what clothes that I want to pack.. and go grocery shopping and maybe do some hit and miss cleaning around the house too before I leave..Whew!! Hopefully I will be able to get it all done by the time I've got to leave! I would also like to go shopping over at The Bronze Leaf Consignment Shop too, as they are closing their doors on March 31st..  I love their shop, as many others do too! We all are going to miss them, that's for sure!

It's such a nice, and sun shiny day out, that just possibly I might decide to get a few things done that are on my agenda list... like going shopping!! Hmmm... we shall see!!

These days are really going by fast!! I'll be boarding that plane to California before I know it!! I'm getting even more excited... Can you tell??!! Woo Whoo!!!

Thank you for visiting me today.. Take care..

~Bug Guessing Game~

Good Morning~
I hope everyone is doing well.. There's some kind of bug that has my hubby down and out.. He's been sneezing and is congested.. has that all around achey yucky feeling about him.. I thought maybe it could be allergies, but he says it's the same thing he comes down with every year around this time, so.... I just hope he gets to feeling better real soon.

I hope I don't catch it, as I don't have any time to be sick.. I've got so much to do before leaving on my trip to Jamie's.. and that leaving date will be here before I know it!! I still haven't decided what all I should pack.. I don't have alot of summer clothes that fit me anymore since I've gained alot of my loss weight back.. I might have to buy me a few new clothes to take just so I'll have something that fits me and is comfortable to wear when we're in the Philippines.. I'll have to check out some of my favorite shopping places and see what they have out that catches my eye and has a decent price tag.. I don't want to spend alot, especially since I'm still trying to lose my extra weight and reach my goal weight for the second time round.. I got down to size 8, but am back up to a 12 now.. I had given all my size 12 clothes away as I didn't want to have them around here to have as a crutch, and gosh, I guess I should have kept them now.. I gave them all away... I hate the thoughts of having to buy some clothes that fit me now, but I don't think I have too much of a choice in that matter.. I do want to look nice and be able to be comfortable too..

We have a dreary overcast day out there so far today... No sunshine.. We've had a little rain drizzle. Makes one want to just stay put inside.. I like to shop when the sun is out and it's warm out.. not when it's cold and dreary.. So, more than not, this lady probably is going to just stay inside today..at least that's how I feel at this precise moment.


Thank you so much for stopping by and visiting me today... Please remember to keep in your prayers these people I have listed on my blog sidebar who are in need of our prayers... Deena, Denise (shortybear) Joanne, Penny,  Stacy, Shauna, Debbie, Theresa, Ron, Baby Ollie, Jedidiah, Emma, Vada, and Amden and all the people we know who also are in need of our prayers today.. Thank you so much.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!!

~Enuff Is Enuff!!~

Good Morning~
I hope your weekend is going good! My day has started out with  having 28*F out with a windchill making it feel like 15*F... Pretty cold I'd say!! Gosh, I am soooooo ready for this cold weather to be gone, as I can imagine alot of you are too!! I hate to sound like a broken record here, but, enuff is enuff!! I'm very thankful though that the sun is shining so nice when I look out my windows..  As long as we don't get any snow, I'll be able to handle this 'ol cold weather just fine!! This temperature isn't quite as cold as I've read some places are and have been around the US lately though...  I've always wanted to have a fireplace in my livingroom, and especially to have one on days like today!! I can see myself snuggled down in my comfy chair with my book or magazine, and  have a nice and warm crackling fireplace to look at.... Maybe someday I will...

Thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving me such kind comments... I read each one and love hearing from you! Have a wonderful day and great weekend too!!

Blessings,

~I'll Be Flying The Friendly Skies Soon!!~

Good Morning!
I am really getting excited!! I'm going to be going out to California to stay with my middle son, Jamie soon!! It's just me going, as my husband Dan, isn't too much for flying on an airplane, let alone flying on one to go overseas.. so, he'll be holding the fort down with our dogs Shelba and Zoe and our cat, Kitty Kat here at home! Jamie and his friend Michael, and I are going to fly over to the Philippines and stay there for awhile, and then fly back to California!! This will be Jamie's and my first trip to the Philippines and we are sooo excited!! I am so glad the guys asked me to go along with them!! Now, to figure out what all I should pack to take with me!! Wish me luck!!

I am really looking forward to my trip to California and The Philippines and I know Dan and Daniel will do great untill I get back home..  The way the days zoom by nowadays, I'll be back home at the blink of an eye! ;)  But, I know I'll miss them a bunch, as I always do when I'm away from them! I do the same thing when I'm at home and away from Jamie and Michele.. I always miss them a bunch too! It is hard having each one of us living in different states.. as one can't just hop in their car and go visit them on any given day or whim... since there are many miles in between us....  I am so thankful though, that I love to fly and that my health allows me to do so now too! One just never knows what's down the road for them... as far as anything is concerned.. I just take it one day at a time.. and make the best of that one certain day, as we aren't really promised  a tomorrow.. Our heart only has so many beats... and GOD only knows how many beats each one of our hearts has... So, we've really got to make the best of each day that GOD gives us!

I'm really getting alot of use out of the suitcases Michele got for her Dad and I, that's for sure !!

Thank you so much again Michele!!
 

Manila,  Philippines


 I won't be able to see my daughter Michele this time when I go to California as I was really hoping to do, as she's living in Arizona now , sooo, .. I'll just have to make me some plans to stay with her for a few weeks sometime too!!

I do have a few weeks to be at home still before I'll be leaving to go on my trip, so I will be keeping in touch as much as I can till then, and then I will try to keep in touch while I'm on my trip...

**Did you happen to notice that I have the current time & day that it is in the Philippines on my blog sidebar ?

Thank you so much for stopping by and visiting with me today!! Have a wonderful day!!
