Florida Vacation

Well we flew into Fort Myers, Florida yesterday on Jet Blue Airlines and I have to say that I was pretty impressed. I have never used them before. We got to Uncle Bruce and John's place, which is gorgeous (I have pictures that I will post later) and then went out for dinner at the Japanese grill place called Shogun, Julio was our chef (which I find quite funny). It was delicious and the girls seem to enjoy it and Sarah even tried something new, shrimp. She liked it, of course anything that may cost a little more.

However today she didn't seem like herself. She woke up and had something to eat then jumped in the pool and got out real quick and said she had an ear ache. She ended up taking a two hour nap with Craig. After she got up she was still kind of lethargic but we thought that it was because she didn't eat anything. So we went to go grab a bite to eat and that didn't perk her up either. She felt a little warm so I went to the store and got her some Tylenol. Came back to the house and took her temperature, 100.3. Wouldn't you know it! So now I am not sure what we will do about Disney world. Hopefully she will feel better tomorrow, but if she doesn't I think we will take her to the doctor. I sure would hate to have to cancel that, but what can you do.

The weather here has been great, it's in the 80's and I must say that it is strange to see people in bathing suits in March! Tomorrow I think we will go to the beach for a little bit. I have always wanted to see the Gulf of Mexico, I hear the water is just beautiful. My camera has been giving me fits, I don't know what is wrong with it, but I am taking pictures when I can now that I have it back. I will write more later.

Got my digital camera back

I was recently talking to my dad and he mentioned that my blog had gotten kind of boring without any new pictures. Somehow I have lost my charger for digital camera and I just assumed that it would turn up somewhere. In the past when I couldn't find my camera I COULD find my charger and vice versa.

So a week ago I went and ordered my camera from Radio Shack. $65 and a week later I am back in business. I got it yesterday just in time for Faith's "Lip Sync" performance at her school. I wasn't able to take any pictures of her routine, but I did manage to snap on with her and her girlfriend Francesca who she performed with. They lip synced and danced to Miley Cyrus's "Girls Night Out"

I straightened Faith's hair and put make up on her, can you tell? LOL She is growing up so fast. She has already asked me if I could do her make up for school. She must be crazy if she think she is wearing make up at 10 years old! The performance started at 7 pm and we didn't get out of there until 9:30 pm and they hadn't done the Finale when we left. I was starving as the rest of my clan was, but Faith was torn about going to grab a bite or staying for the Finale. She really wanted to do both, but Craig and I were tired and there is only so much screaming and loud music I can stand. (That made me sound old didn't it?)

Anyway since I have my digital back, I will be taking more pictures. Speaking of which here is one of me and my man.

New Beginnings

Alright so last week I went to the doctor to get a Rx to help me stop smoking and walked away with blood pressure medication. I had to go back yesterday to get my blood pressure re-checked and I walked out of there with a months supply of blood pressure medication and Chantix to help me stop this nasty habit of smoking. I am happy! Although my insurance company didn't pay for it so $135 dollars had to come out of our pockets. Hopefully, I will kick the habit within one month and I won't have to pay another $135.



I know my dad will be happy with this news! I ordered another charger for my digital camera. That thing cost $65! I know the other charger is around here somewhere, I just can't find it. Hopefully I will keep track of this one. So soon I will be able to add pictures to my blog once again.



Things seem to be going pretty good lately. My gf, Jackie and I are trying to encourage each other in our goals. She came over to study yesterday and we went for a walk with the dogs. We also had a "weigh in" UGHHHHH, I never thought I would say this but I like the doctor's office scale better then the one at home. LOL! Jackie is bipolar (old post) and struggles at this point in getting up in the morning and getting around. She doesn't like it but finds herself continuing to do it. She knows that it would be best for her to get up in the am, so I am calling her and bugging her in the mornings to get a move on. She on the other hand is encouraging me to get off my fat ass and exercise. We are actually helping each other with that one too. But she is a great friend and love her and thank God that he brought her into my life.

So here is to new beginnings of good habits!
