My aunt just showed up at my house with a birthday gift and a container of my favorite homemade cinnamon rolls just for me. The birthday girl.
Have I blogged about how lucky I am lately? Because I really am blessed with a loving family that I adore.

Allison is so over tired and winy that I am loosing my mind the last couple of days. I feel bad because it’s not her fault we have been on the go the past few evenings causing her to be up past her bed time and she is a girl who really needs her sleep. Thank goodness we don’t having plans for the next three days so she can get back on her schedule because I am really losing my patience. BIG TIME !

Hey, it’s my birthday. I woke to kisses from my Allison and Roxy and walked in to the office and found a gift and my favorite bagel on my desk.
How sweet is that!?

Go ahead and watch these two videos and just try not to laugh or crack a smile.

This post is dedicated to my good friend Uncle Vito who was struggling with a bad mood this morning. I hope this helps.

I have been really cutting back on my food portions and trying to eat a lot healthier. I am also increasing my amount of exercise and I am already seeing results. I have been feeling pretty good about it. Until this afternoon. I feel like I am starving. To make it even worse my boss and a few of the guys are in the office right now eating McDonald’s. One even has a sundae. I am so jealous!

What a nice weekend I just had. Friday night I had had my granddaughter over to play. She is so sweet and just a joy to spend time with. I think this (9mo) is my favorite age. Every time I have her over she is doing some thing new.
Then Saturday afternoon my sister and I took the kids to Hallmark for the big Webkinz Extravaganza. Where they each played games and had fun and came home with a couple more Webkinz. 
After that I went out for a little shopping and came home with a couple of tops for work and a couple more casual tops for summer. Thank you Sears, buy one get one free sale!  I really needed them. Then the three of us headed to my sisters house and enjoyed a night of pizza, drinks and geeky play. The men on their PS3’s, kids watching movies and playing with their Webkinz and us ladies in the kitchen hanging out on line, listening to music and relaxing together. As always it was a good time. My wonderful sister also surprised me with not only the perfect card but these super cute shoes for my birthday. Are they not the cutest Vans ??? They have little basset hounds on them!

Yesterday morning Gerry and I finished hanging our new bedroom curtains that I just love. They really add some color to the room.
Then we spent some time and went out for a nice dinner with my parents. They just got back from five days in Vegas and three months in Florida a few days before that. So it was a lot of fun to listen to all of their stories over a nice meal. Any time I get to spend with them is fun. I am very blessed with wonderful happy parents who I love to spend time with.

It’s so nice to be able to blog about such a great weekend! And the fun isn’t over yet ! We have plans to be at my mom’s tomorrow right on my birthday for dinner so my step dad can barbeque for me. Yum ! And when the weekend rolls around again, I have dinner and drinks planed with my sister just the two of us . So I have that to look forward to. Seriously, could I be any more lucky?

I just opened our escrow statement for the year and I can’t believe it our house payment finally went down some. Down to $1268.00 a month! After paying $1500.00 for the past year to cover a mistake in the escrow, this is great news. All the more reason to enjoy a few drinks tonight! Whoo hoo !
