Got to stay home today. About a year ago, we did a kitchen remodel and had granite blocks instead of sold granite installed as our counter tops. They have began to pop off for some reason, so the decorator company who put them in is having them repaired. Have been playing in my craft room while the contractor is working. I am working on Mia's Easter basket. Although there is not much a Nana can give a 7 month old, but fortunately Nana has an embroidery machine, so I am embroidering some cute spring outfits for this special girl.




Also for about the last 6 months Glen, my husband, has had some awful headaches and dizzy spells, he had a cat scan done today and they said he had a cyst or pollup from a chronic sinus infection. They sat up an appointment with a specialist. We go on April 13th for them to take a look at him. Bless his heart, he has been in such pain for a awhile. I am just glad that he finally has an answer, and that there is light at the end of the tunnel. He is my best friend and confident and I can't imagine him not being a part of my world.


Today has been a good day for my diet. Although it was hard to be bored here at the house, I stayed on program and worked out. People may laugh, but I am working out to Sweatin to the Oldies. I love Richard Simmons, and if I am gonna work out, I wanna have fun and I love to dance. I think he was the original Julian, at least as a motivator. He inspires and I appreciate that.


Also found out that my precious Mia will be here on Friday. Lance and Lindsay will be staying with us again for a few days. I know they think they are bothering us, but I love spending time with both of them and getting quality time with Mia of course.
Well I am very sore and very tired tonight, so I am calling it a night. More moments in my life tomorrow

Well I've decided to enter the world of blogging. I love to write and think this will be a great way for me to write down my thoughts. It will take some getting used to this blogging, but I hope I can get pretty good at it. I recently joined the world of facebook and have had so much fun reconnecting with old friends and relatives that I have lost touch with.


I have also just started dieting and trying to work out. I am 53 years old and right now have a swimming pool staring at me, a class reuinion to go to this summer, a trip to Las Vegas planned and a week vacation at the beach at some point this summer, so I would like to loose around 25 lbs. I have joined Weight Watchers and have only been dieting for 3 days, but so far so good. I have worked out for the last 2 days and right now I am pretty sore because I am so out of shape. I hope to journal this weight loss journey also.


I have a new grandbaby and my son and daughter in law will be moving home next week, so I will be able to share my new experience of being a Nana also. My only child blessed me with this beautiful girl named Mia last August. I have posted a picture of me, my son and Mia.
I am married to my best friend and have been for 16 years. We live on 4.5 acres in a small community. We love the open space and have 3 dogs, 6 cats and a bunch of chickens. Life is good. I hope tomorrow will bring lots of new moments in life to post
