My daughter gave me this jewelry box with a photo frame top about ten years ago.
I love this pic of Gerry and I, we were so young and happy in new love.
The beginning of some thing great.

I am so happy to be home this week with no real plans.  I really needed some time with out a schedule. I am getting all kinds of things done around the house that have been put off for far too long. I have also been up late every night since Friday getting caught up on my DVR recordings and watching movies.
I do plan on giving myself plenty of time to be a total slacker, to hang out in my PJ’s unshowered for a day or two before returning back to work.

As for today, maybe I’ll take Allison and Roxy to the park this afernoon or maybe Allison and I will catch an afternoon movie? Or maybe we’ll do nothing? It’s too early to say for sure.
Man, I am loving this vacation. I feel so free.

For those of you who watch what you eat,
here’s the final word on nutrition and health.
It’s a relief to know the truth
after all those conflicting
nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than
Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION

Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you. 

After living in the dark for so long, a glimpse of light can make you giddy. Strange thoughts come into your head, and you better think ‘em. Has a special fate been calling you & you not listening? Is there a secret message right in front of you & you’re not reading it? Is this your last, best chance? Are you gonna take it? Or are you going to the grave with unlived lives in your veins?

Where the heck did that come from?
I just spent the last two hours working over our bedroom. Sorting, cleaning, and lots and lots of reorganizing.
I now have three bags of trash and two bags of donation I can get rid of. Boy does it feel great!

Surprising though after a late night of drinks and playing Wii with my sister and brother in law.
