OK, so it's been awhile since I wrote. Not much happening to talk about I guess. I did have a good time a couple of weeks ago. I went down to Thriller at Tuachan with all my daughters! We left Sat. morning and played around St George until it was time to get ready for the show. It was awesome! We stayed in a motel and played a little more before we came home. It was so fun to get away with no kids (ok, mine were there) and no men. We decided to make it a semi-annual affair. Once a year is not enough. Can't wait until summer so we can go see "Cats". I have some pictures I will post as soon as I can get the red eye out.

Not Much Happening

It's hard to write things in here when nothing is happening. So here is a short update. I have lost a couple of pounds and I am trying to keep up with the walking challenge at work. I didn't do well at all last week with the walking because I was sick for several days. It's hard to go out walking when you're in bed sick. I am starting new this week.

Here's the Deal

I have doing a lot of thinking since Becky died. She was healthy. She walked every day and kept active. I don't do anything to help myself. So, after the shock of her sudden death, I decided that it was time to do something. I joined Weight Watcher's Online and have been following the plan for about a week now. I will weigh in on Monday (at work) and see how I've done. We are doing a Walking Challenge at work too. It came at the right time. If we stick to the plan for the six months we will receive an Ipod. That is a pretty good incentive. I decided that I would go for it, so that is the deal. I will keep you posted on my progress.

Reality Bites

I lost an old friend this week. Becky and I grew up in the same small neighborhood and went to the same schools together from elementary through High School. We got married at the same time and had our first two children at the same time. We lost touch with each other through the years, but we had reconnected some in the last few years. She died suddenly without warning. Good for her, not so much for her family. It is a slap in the face when someone dies that is your age, not from cancer or overdose or car wreck or suicide, just part of life. It makes you think

Last week my grand daughter Whitney called and said "Grandma, can me and Hailey have a sleep over?" Well who could resist? I said absolutely! They came over Tuesday night and stayed most of Wednesday. We had lots of fun. We painted our fingernails and toenails. We had a craft project and mostly just hung out. It was lots of fun. I can't wait to do it again.

Fun in California

Last month we did something that we've talked about a lot but never done. We took a family vacation! We went to Palm Springs, Cal. Everyone in the family went except Mike (my hubby) and my youngest daughter Katie's husband Jared. He stayed home with their youngest Evan who is 18 months old. We stayed in a huge condo complex. It was awsome! There were two large swimmimg pools three or four hot tubs, a lazy river (my favorite) a kiddie pool and some shooting fountains. Then there are several Golf Courses and Shopping and etc... There was so much to do just where we were staying we really didn't need to leave. The whole family went to Six Flags one day, I don't do heat very well so I stayed behind at the condo. I just slept and read and watched TV. It was heaven! I think we should do it every year.

New at this

OK, so I don't know what I'm doing! Good thing that my daughter Wendy is computer sauvy. I have to call her to show me how to do everything from this to downloading my pictures. This is my journey into the unknown land of Blogging.
