We got the new Wii Fit yesterday and I am gonna attempt a little daily work-out. It looks real fun. They have all sorts of little activities you can do as well as aerobics, jogging and yoga. Hopefully I can put down the cupcake long enough for a little excercise.

STAY TUNED!

Father's Day is coming VERY VERY soon. I never know what to get men. They are just so hard to buy for. Let's see....Wallet (HAS ONE), Cologne (CHECK), tools (BORING), gift certificate (Do men even like to shop?) As you can see Men are very hard to shop for or at least they are in my family. However, there is one thing that I KNOW for a fact makes my man happy . . . electronics or better yet BIG SCREEN TELEVISIONS! Well, I hate to burst my hubby's bubble but it would take me a few months worth of making bows to come up with that kind of cash. I am sure he will be just as happy with his halmark greeting card anyway. *LOL*

Wait a minute....I could enter him in the Charter Father's Day in HD contest. Yes, they are sponsoring a giveaway and dear old Dad could just win a giant HDTV along with the best CHARTER hd service. To enter all you have to do is visit Charter's website and fill out the entry form along with a 250 word essay on why your Dad deserves to win a giant HDTV with the best Charter HD service and The Charter Bundle. That's all you have to do! I can only imagine how happy DAD would be if he received a gift like that.

If you are a little on the lazy side (Like myself) you can also have Cards Direct stamp your return info on your envelopes. Now that is a great time saver because who wants to be adding addresses to envelopes after you have written a WONDERFUL and CARING message to your pal, right?

Pickling cucumbers
Plum tomatoes
Yellow peppers
Tuna salad
Carrot or celery sticks
Lettuce
Cheese (optional)
Fish-shaped crackers (optional)
1. Fill a veggie vessel (we used halves of a pickling cucumber, plum tomato, and yellow pepper) with tuna salad. Push one end of a carrot or celery-stick mast into the salad and set a triangle sail of pepper, lettuce, or cheese next to it. For the full effect, serve the lunch on a blue plate scattered with fish-shaped crackers.

Yeah let's just pretend I have a bank account that is overflowing with that green stuff we like to call M-O-N-E-Y. If I did then you better bet I would hop on a plane to Ireland. (Maybe it's the Irish in me) but I often dream of running around in the green fields with my red hair flying in the wind.

I just know it is beautiful there! Can you just imagine all the photos I could take? Of course plans would need to be made well in advance if I was going to Ireland. I would have to look into Ireland hotels (Dublin hotels preferably) and also think about rental vehicles. Now which side of the road do they drive on again? I may need to practice over here.....JUST KIDDING! lol

So let me begin dreaming of my Ireland getaway. Won't you join me? We could find the cheapest hotels such as Shannon hotels or Cork hotels and once that is taken care of we can find some great dining places. I sure would like to sit down in a REAL Irish pub. How about you?

Ok, so since we have overflowing bank accounts right now. Let's just go ahead and pack! I will see you at the airport.

A few months ago we cut off our land line phone service.....Why? Darn telemarketers! They were calling numerous times per day and night. I was sick of it! We only use our cell phones right now but if I were to hook up the regular phone again I would make sure to add our number to the "No Call registry". Have you added your number? If not be sure to head over to Who's number is that.com and do so right now. You can also register for other services like Reverse Cell Phone Lookups. Now you can know who is calling you at all times. So go on....head over there and get the No Call List information you need to put a stop to all those irritating telemarketers.

We actually spent all day at Universal Studios and Island of Adventure.

This pretty much sums up the end of the day:

I tend to go through phases with my hair. Some months I prefer it short and then some months I prefer it long. The downside of the "Shorter" period is that if I don't really care for it then I have to wait and WAIT for it to grow longer......that is UNTIL NOW! I have finally found a great place to buy clip in hair extensions without breaking the bank. So, instead of hoping and praying for that longer hair now all I have to do is insert the extension and walk out the door. NEVER HAVE ANOTHER BAD HAIR DAY AGAIN! ! I have viewed prices for other hair extensions and steered away altogether but with great prices and real human hair extensions from top brands such as EasiXtend and TressAllure I just knew I had to check into this site. Why not check into extensions for yourself? They are not only great for adding length but you can also make your thin hair fuller or even add a different still with little to no effort at all. Oh and if you are worried about finding the EXACT hair color don't fret. All you have to do is order a color ring and obtain the PERFECT shade to match your own hair color. There is no guessing involved. Stop wishing for fuller, longer hair and check into hair extensions today.

Our first stop: Panama City Beach, FL

*I wish I was still there!

More to come....

Labels: FL, Panama City Beach

Ok, I know I promised to post some pics during vacation but I was honestly exhausted by the time we got back to our hotel room each night that I simply passed out! We had a BLAST! Our first venture was to the beach and the water was just amazing. We could not have asked for better weather. We also had a wild and crazy time in Orlando. The kids loved Disney Magic Kingdom and they had so much fun that we decided to visit Hollywood Studios the same day. (The lil man loved his STAR WARS adventure, of course) and you guys should have seen our lil princess with the REAL ONES! She was in awe. Meghan actually rode Space Mountain! lol *She says she will never EVER do it again....hee hee Universal Studios Island of Adventure was my favorite stop. I felt like a kid again for sure. Our last stop was to Cocoa Beach and once again the weather was great and the waves were great. I snapped some photos and hope to share all of them *OK, MAYBE NOT ALL* later.

We are already planning our next Orlando visit. And speaking of Orlando did you know about the City tours offered by Trusted Tours and Attractions? I definately think we should check into one of those next time. I would love to see more of the city and things to do in Orlando !
