Happy Birthday Dad

I am leaving for work soon, at midnight it will 8/25/10 - I have been thinking of this day since August 1st..... DAD- I miss you and love you - I will miss celebrating your birthday with you. I think I will get the Bonefish Gift Card that I gave you a few years ago (that you never used - we found it in your wallet) and go get some Bang Bang Shrimp - ya know the ones I recommended when I gave you the card.... I should have known you didn't like going out to eat, but you were always so tough to buy for.... Well, I will be thinking of you! Happy Birthday!

155.4

UGH - not going so well.......

156

OK, so here's the deal..... I sat down and looked at my pictures from Casino Night (This is one of the better ones).  I have decided that if I would really like to take of some recently added pounds!  In order to be successful, I think I will need to answer to someone, and who better to answer to than myself - RIGHT..... So, I am going to keep track of my progress right here on my BLOG.  And if others read it, even better!  Today I weighed in at 156, its a new starting weight.  So what am I doing.... well, I started counting "points" again (AKA weight watchers).  Maybe I will last longer than a month.  If not, I at least hope to eat well.  I also went for jog/walk... more of a walk, but I did jog a little, then my knee started acting up, you know, the one I hurt dancing at Casino Night last year!!!  Any way, the walk was 30 minutes in the hot blazing sun - GOOD TIMES, we will see how long I keep that up, but I need to do a little something as often as I can. I think I am more of a "Exercise in the air condition" kinda girl..... We'll see, maybe I can find one of my old Richard Simmons VHS tapes..... Regardless of what I do, I hope the next time I post something here about how I am doing, my number will be lower than 156!  

House Guest

I think I will get one of these some day.  It was nice to have Alpo for a few days.... He sure is a character.  I don't think I was fond of the feet biting in bed, but I liked it when he snuggled up against my back and purred.  I haven't been feeling well and missed two days of work - they were both spent in bed and it was nice to have company!  I only had to kick him out one time when the biting got out of hand.  He isn't a mean cat, just wants to play - problem is - he uses his claws and teeth to do it!  Oh well - unfortunately he goes home today, but I am sure he will be happy to get back to lizard hunting soon!  Not many lizards at my place.... He did find a cough drop under the bed though.  Good bye to my little house guest!

Strong Kids!

Emily and Garrett are both doing so good at cheer and football practice. Both of their coaches have given them compliments.  I know that they are both strong and can do anything they put their minds to. 

Venice Vikings Family Fun Bowling Night

"Me and My Boy at Family Fun Night."

I have been putting in a lot of hours with the Venice Vikings.  The season officially started yesterday (8/1/10).   On July 31 we had a Bowling Night fundraiser.  We had a good turn out and I think every one had a good time! 

This year Garrett will be playing for the Lancers, and Emily will be Cheering for the Warriors!  They had their first practice yesterday, but I haven't had a chance to take with them to see how it went.  I am looking forward to getting back out to the field on Wednesday to see them practice, and to hear how it is going..... and of course take some pictures!!!!! 

I have a feeling we are going to have a VERY busy football season!
