Slacker.....

WOW!!!!


It has been forever since I posted. I think I have been in a funk - I have been reading all the posts but just dont feel like posting anything...this has been going on since I got back from vacation. I think it just took me a while to adjust to working and life again....actually was in a little "funk" for a week or so.


But, I am good now....


Back to working out with Zumba and the gym....mostly Zumba...


Going here again lately...they have to MOST AMAZING instructors and class is soooooooo fun you don't realize how fast that hour goes or how SOPPING wet you are until the class is over!


And tonight going here and meeting up with some really cool friends to enjoy the Summer parrish festival...I will definitely post pics of this tomorrow.


Have a great day and I will leave you with pics of the lifeguard races my nieces and nephew participated in on vacation at Stone Harbor, NJ.

My oldest niece, Kyleigh, won third in the race pictered where she is holding the rope (funny thing is she cheated to win: she stod at the finish line and never left when the other kids ran for the water she just stood there and when they came back across the finish she followed them and got third-HAHA!!!! We even told them she cheated and she still got a medal for it....LOL!!!!!

Tooo funny - have a great day - TGIAF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vacation - Stone Harbor - 2010

Okay

Wowsa - this is a big update!

I was on vacation for a week (technically 9 days) at Stone HArbor, NJ with my family and it was AMAZING!!!!!

No rain - not a drop - not one day!!!

I am soooooo tan I love it!!!!!!

Laid on the beach every day, went to the OC boardwalk, went to dinner at Sylvesters in Avalon, and just hung out with family - could not have asked for a better vacation!

Waliacha stayed home and "manned the fort" and I must say - he did an amazing job also! Scooped poop and cleaned - I came home to a well-kept and spotless home - yeah!!!!!!!!

So, here are some pics for your enjoyment...mind you, I forgot my camera and got all these with my blackberry...I did not take alot but will post my sisters when she sends them...

While we were in town, my sister spotted this car.....

Then this guy...
Apparently they were filming for Diners, Drive-ins and Dives at a restaurant near town in Stone Harbor called Quahogs

It was pretty fun to watch Guy Fieri practice his lines...it is amazing how long and how many takes it takes them to film...anyway - it was fun to see him there!!! Little rest between takes...

This is my older sister Kerry (it is her "hotel" that we stay in at the beach) LOL!

This is Kyleigh getting ready for the lifeguard races...she actually came in third on this one...by cheating mind you - long story but she did it accidently and came in third....go Kyleigh! LOL

This is the line "train" they used to get the kids lined up for the lifeguard races - cutest thing ever!!!!!!!!!!! This is the 3 and under group...

Here are my nieces and nephew waiting for their group turn at the races with their daddy....cutue pies, hugh?

On an amusing note: I am going here after work today as I was jumping waves and apparently a mermaid swam by and liked them so they now belong to her...at least that is the kids story....mine is I bent over when my niece said "Aunt Annie I am peeing on you" to plop her in the waves and the glasses fell off and disappeared in the crazy waves...oh well, such is life - the bonus is...got to ask the lifeguards if they found any glasses and now cute new glasses!!!!!!

Happy Tuesday

P.S. - I am STILL drinking all my water everyday!!!!! YEAH!

Monday: Water Challange Update and Weigh In

Still rocking the water challenge with Kenz and Sean!!!!!!

Did my weigh in this AM before leaving for work and I oficially lost 8 lbs last week!!! Goooo me - it is a combination of writing down everything that I eat and drinking water all day!

Soooo excited to finally be moving in the right direction again!! Yeah - thanks Kenz and Sean for the inspiration to begin again!!!!!!

This week is going to be crazy busy as I am getting ready to leave for vacation next week!!! YIPPEE!! Off to the beach (Stone Harbor, NJ) for ten days of bliss!!!!!!!!

Hope everyone has an amazing Monday!!!!!!!

Wreckage of the Storm...

We had a horrible storm run through Pittsburgh Wednesday night! It was fast, furious and scary and the worst part wa the wreckage from the storm on my poor, poor plants.

The worst was my tomato plants....sooo sad :-(

Here are pics of the wreckage...

All of our "large" tomatoes were knocked off one plant when the wind and storm pulled the cage off the plant...these are the little guys that were ripped from the vine...:-(

Need a recipe from all my southern bogging friends for fried green tomatoes (hint hint)!!!

Tilt your head to the right and you get the gist...this is our little tomatoes.,...they all appeard to weather the storm okay...

This is a close up - just for all my friends that know me....I have a horrid fear of spiders and there is a web on this plant (it is the white reflection you see right above the ripe tomatos) and I am leaving it because I figure that the spider will protect my plant from other preditors right??? SEE, a little PROGRESS in the neorosis department!!!!!

This is the tomato plants...the one on the left is the now "naked" plant... the one on the right did much better.

Annnnndddddd..drumroll....this is our bounty...along with the green tomatoes (another hint, recipe!) I "harvested" all these this am before I left for work....many little baby tomatoes....Waliacha and I can each have four one our dinner salad - LOL!!!!!!!!!


Hope everyone has an amazing and happy weekend!!!

Nothing exciting to report today except diet is right on and water intake is wayyyyy past 64 oz a day!!!

Yeah!!!!!!

This is my and my new water bottle!!!

Have a happy HUMP Day!

It is a Camelbak and it is soooo fun to drink from - it is non-spill and you have to bite and suck to drink! I LOVE IT!!!
Thanks Ker!
