How Quickly We Remember....

I had the distinct pleasure of watching my nephew for a few hours while his Mom did some volunteering at my neices school. I must say it was the funnest activity I've done in quite a long time! Grant is such a busy boy and it warmed my heart every time he would say "Aunt Cindy" in his little boy's voice! Alexandra is growing up soooo fast I can hardly stand it. I got to spend some real quality time instead of trying to squeeze in a conversation when all the other relatives are around. So many memories are brought back to the surface. Playing games in the park with your little one. Nap time and coming home from school. It warms my heart. Thanks for the memories. Family means everything. I hope you all have a good day.

Is it Summer?

Ok...so it got up to 80 degrees today! S'gotta be-a record!! If this is any indication of our summer to come...BRING IT ON!! Me and the kitties just hung out and did a little work in the yard. It's starting to come together but we have a few projects yet to get under way. Meggie-Lou-Who...Cabaret was amazing! Even with your butt cheeks hangin' out! Ha! Ha! I'd recognize those "butterbuns" anyday! Well....gotta go for a bike ride with Rick. It's just so beautiful outside who could possibly want to stay inside? Oh yeah...I forgot...my lazy cats, that's who!
Lata....

Go and see Cabaret! Fri-Mon. St. Mary's University! Posted by Hello

I know this is a bad picture but it was taken in the dark...best I could do. Can you tell my baby's happy with her facelift? I think she's actually smiling at me. I'm forgiven. Thank God! Posted by Hello

Run of Bad Luck!

How come when something goes wrong there seems to be at least 2 other events that follow? Case in point....
1. Cindy goes on business errand and crashes car...unexpected costs of over $600 for her share of the damage(Thank God no one was seriously hurt!).
2. Cindy decides to be safe and stay home playing the role of "Suzy Homemaker" only to find her refrigerator has broken down...unexpected delay in finishing her tasks and 3 hours to find a new one along with costs of $1000.
3. This one hasn't happened yet...maybe you could figure out what it may be so she can be properly prepared.
I know you're all thinking things could be worse and I DO know that...but REALLY! It's just soooo frustrating sometimes!

Gotta be a Record # of Posts!!

Ok...everybody wants to know and I think I'm calmed down enough now to share. I need to say that I think it's rather cruel of all of you to make me re-live this horrible experience again! But here goes...Ok...so I'm driving down 37th street in Rochester which, of course as you would expect every "freakin" street in this city to be, is under construction (no workers or road torn up...just some stupid cones to channel all of us frustrated travelers into one lane to see how long it takes before somebody snaps!) With a car, an SUV, and a pickup ahead of me stopped at a stop light takin in the sights and tryin to figure out just why in the hell we're funneled into one lane on such a busy street...the light turns green...we start to move. I glance to my left at a beautiful new coffee shop and look forward to a bright set of RED BRAKELIGHTS in my face!! Needless to say...I couldn't stop quick enough. I ram my poor baby into the back of this piece of crap 1990 black Chevy pickup! Luckily (and I say this with tears in my eyes) there was a Sheriff 2 cars behind me and she called the city PO-LICE. To make matters really "sucky" the guy in the pickup wasn't wearing his seat belt and didn't have his license with him! He told me later that he'd just gotten his bumper fixed from an accident he had 2 months ago and that he had to slam his brakes on too. GREAT!! So the medics were called and he was checked because of some neck pain he was experiencing (well...duh!), and I stood outside for like an hour waiting for everyone to finish up their business. The medics asked me if I was OK as the tears streamed down my face and I said I was "just fine...seat belts save lives" thanks for finally asking. The kind policeman issued me a ticket with a smile ("hey...I'm being easy on you"---uh-huh, yeah, right!) and told me to get my car checked out to make sure it was drivable. Everything will be fine...I was not hurt in the least (except for my composure) and the car will be fixed by the end of the week. Soooo....My business trip into town to make money ended up costing me about $600!!
I think I'll stay home and clean from now on. Sound good to you?

Guess who had a little Oops today! Uh-huh...my baby needs a face lift for sure. You can all comment on how you think this may have happened. I may enlighten you...or not! I'm not in the mood right now!  Posted by Hello

Seems like summer

Isn't our weather beautiful?! I'm enjoying it sooo much! I've been somewhat busy so far this week. It's a good thing cause I get bored easily. I'm trying to find any excuse not to have to do my spring cleaning! I've been digging into Rick's business and that's always entertaining. I'm marketing his Home Inspection Business and making calls, emails, etc. to drum up business. It's exciting to see progress! Rick hates doing that kind of stuff so since I'm more of a people person I can make it happen. If anyone knows anyone who needs or wants a home inspection you know who to call! I'm kinda like his secretary...I think we should have an affair (hee hee)!
I'm also continuing to drum up business for myself. I've got several businesses carrying my crystals and a fundraiser that I'm doing also. It's good to still be moving the goods. I am in the process of preparing for a Pilates Clinic I'll be presenting in June for the K-M Dance team. Since I'm certified (or certifiable-Ha!) they contracted me to teach them core strength. Should be a challenge and lots of fun! I am also trying to organize our London trip in October. Since Megan is putting on a show over there we'll have to go and visit. We are trying to do an exchange on our timeshare so it won't be so expensive for accomodations. I hope I can figure it all out and that it works for us. I'll keep you posted on that score. As you can see I've not had time to get too bored. But don't worry...summer's not over yet!
Anyway...I hope you are all enjoying our summer-like weather. I'm sure it won't last too long. Just wishful thinking.
Ciao

Must Be why...

Oh...and since I rarely receive any comments on my page I'll just assume you're all dead (except for you Mom...that bypass did you wonders!!)! Yeah...that's it.

Go Figure...

Did you ever wonder why, after it has happened many times, you still try?
I wonder...many times.

We'll try this again...Oh wait...I guess it worked now!

Ok...so I completed a large post yesterday and proceeded to publish it. Suddenly in big red letters the word "ERROR" shows up and my blog goes to "Never Never Land" not to be seen or written ever again. How frustrating!! Now I have to try and remember what I wrote yesterday and that isn't gonna happen anytime soon! UUUGH! So now I think I will copy each and every blog before I post it. Sounds like a good idea to me. So it's a beautiful day outside and I just slept until 9:00am. Why would I wish to sleep this gorgeous morning away you ask? Apparently I needed the sleep. I've been working out pretty hard and I think my body needed the extra healing time. Uh huh. You heard me...extra healing time. Seems it can only re-coop when I sleep. So there you have it...my excuse for being a lazy bum! Hee hee. Well...anyway...I need to find something to do today. I was going to go to Winona but decided I didn't want to drive that far when I just saw Megan on Monday. I need to make her beg me to come down and visit. Then I know it will be appreciated. Sooooo....I better get going and figure out what I'ma gonna doa! Have a Happy Day! Love you all!
