Monday

Worked. Rough day. Payday. Docked $700 in error. Worked it out, but I have to wait 2 weeks to get paid. Bummer. Went to WW. Up 2. What a mess. Only down 17 now from 29. Maybe writing about it will help keep me on track. That's all there is to report today. Watching Jen Aniston and Gerard Butler in "Bounty Hunter". Fair...but entertaining. Looking forward to my next installment of Stieg Larrson.

Saturday and Sunday

Saturday Rita came. House got nice and clean! (Thanks Rita!)

In the afternoon, Hubs and I hosted the Board Meeting for our Homeowner's Association. We discussed the Annual Meeting for the Community. This year's theme is gonna be Western. We're calling it the "Hoedown in the Hills". Should be fun!

Sunday Hubs and I went to Mizner Park to the Museum Art Fair.

We took Miss Tallulah Belle with us too.

After the show we went to Yokohama for Sushi.

After, we relaxed and watched "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". In Swedish. With subtitles. Very Good.

Lovely day!

Friday

Whoa. Talk about one of the best nights ever!!!

At the last CCFA event, Sissy and BIL bid on, and won, a suite and 20 tickets to Barry Manilow and Friday night was the show!

Hubs and I were 2 of the lucky invitees. Whoooooooooooooooooooo Whoooooooooooooooo.

The evening began with a limo ride to the arena. OMG! Awesome!

The driver dropped us off right at the door of the Suite/Club Lobby entrance and we ventured upstairs to our suite.

Ah! This is the life!

Diane, Rebecca and Audrey...Probably talking about the man who "writes the songs that make the whole world song"!

Some of the "FAN-ilows!

"The Man" ilow

Love him

I have seen Barry Manilow about 8 times. It's not like I would put a Barry cd in when friends were coming over, it's just that he is just the sweetest, nicest guy and he puts on an amazing show. Love him! Love his music. We had the best time ever! Thank you Sissy and BIL. It was an amazing night.

December 13th-January 27th

OMG. I am so out of whack. I have missed so much good stuff. Not really sure what happened. Not even sure how to catch up. Let's see. Where should I start? I left off December 12th. I think on Monday I pulled out my clothes. Tuesday the 14th Sissy came over to help me pick out outfits... Wednesday I packed. Thursday the 16th was my office holiday party. Friday the family came in town. Took off work. Did hair and nails. Saturday the 18th was Little neph's Bar Mitzvah and Sunday the 19th, 22 of us boarded the Allure of the Seas, Royal Caribbean's newest ...and the worlds largest, cruise ship, for a week long family extravaganza that we like to call LITTLE NEPH'S YACHT MITZVAH!!!

I didn't want to talk about it before we left 'cause I've read so many things about crazy stalker people out there in cyber land, so I didn't want anyone I didn't know to find out the house would be empty, so I kept it quiet...but ...we went on a cruise!!!! Sissy and BIL took 22 of us on the most amazing trip ever! After the cruise the family was snowed in and stayed an extra week! Yay! Since then we had a few dinners, some neighborhood events, theater and the rest. I had intended on doing a catch up blog with a separate post for each day I missed, but it was too overwhelming for me. So here's tonights 6 week catch up and tomorrow I will tell you all about tomorrow. xoxo Hope everyone out there has been in a happy place and enjoyed the holidays. Love and peace.

Love and miss you. xoxo

Lunch with Sissy, Middle, Little and Lynne. Had yummy salad at the club. Then Lynne went to Festival, Sissy to the mall, and I hit Marshall's and the Rack. Sissy and Big met me at the Rack. Then they left, and I headed home. Been doing fashion show all night. Going away soon and need pretty outfits. Had soup for dinner. House is a mess. Company coming this week. Gotta get everything together. Hope you all had a nice weekend. Love and hugs. xoxo

Got up at 8:30am

Got dressed

Ran to Starbucks

Got a soy pumpkin spice latte with whip,

...and a soy chai tea for Suzanne.

Then ran across to get my hair done.

Suzanne has been doing my hair for about 8 years now.

Last year she took time off to have a baby.

I went somewhere else for a cut and color once and I hated it.

I started coloring my hair myself after that.

It started off ok, but then something went wrong.

Each time I would color it, my hair would get darker every time.

I was starting to hate it.

Well, now the baby is almost one and Suzanne is back at work.

Yayayayay!!! So today was beauty makeover day.

After my gorgeous locks were done, I met Hubby at the house.

Rita was here! (yay!)

Hubs and I went to do some errands.

Then we went to a 4:45 movie.

Saw "The Tourist". The new film with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie.

It was real good! We enjoyed it!

After, we had sushi and then came home.

That's it. Nice day.

Here's my new hair.

Isn't Suz a magician? ...a true artiste of locks. Love her!!!
