THREE DAYER

OK, burned out of working......don't want to anymore, which is why I took Friday off.  Had a wonderfully relaxing day at home.....skated, walked, laid out in the sun to get ready for Aruba, and had a great happy hour......nachos and lemon drops.

Saturday, left the house at 8:30 a.m. to go to Zach's baseball game.  Had to run a few errands on the way......trying to find cherry flavored rum......none in Bullhead City!  Last time we got it in Vegas......tried the new donut shop in Mohave Valley......delicious.  Arrived at Zach's game......he is a natural born athlete.......I'm not biased!!!  Took Zach to see Horton Hears a Who......it was cute......took Zach home and watched Zoey for about 1/2 hour while Traci ran an errand.......Zoey is soooooo cute, and getting soooo big.  Stopped at Sam's Club on the way home.....got home about 5:30, we were both exhausted. Ashamed to say we crashed at 6:30.......got up at 8:00 Sunday, or so I thought.  Turns out my stupid clock is on Daylight Savings Time, so it switched in the middle of the night, and it was really 7:00.  Sad thing is, I started making phone calls......sorry to everyone I called!!!  Exercised, then laid out in the sun.  Decided on pomegranate martinis today.....ok, and one lemon drop.  All in all, it's been a nice relaxing weekend. Should have gotten more accomplished, but, oh well.

Until later,

Ciao, Baby!

SOME QUICK PICS

Just some quick pics of the Grandkids.  Zoey is getting sooooo big.  Aren't they cute.  Took a full length of Zoey so you all can see how much she's grown.

Until later,

Ciao, Baby!

GEORGE LOPEZ ROCKS!!

OK, this weekend JR and I went to see George Lopez.  I have to admit, I was more excited about going to the new mall in Vegas than I was to see George.  In reality, I really wasn't looking forward to the show at all.  The things floating through my head were Sephora.......Apple........Islands Restaurant......Costco......I mean, come on, a trip to paradise.  I would suffer through the show, what the heck......I got my perfume, Ipod case, and onion rings!!!  Who could ask for more. Well, I have to confess, the show was one of the best I've seen. First of all let, me say that I have nothing against George, personally, it's just that it takes a lot to make me laugh......at least that's what JR says......the people at work think I laugh all the time.  Anyway, I have to tell you I had a great time.  Not only was George Lopez great, and not toooooooo dirty, but the comedian that opens the show was good too!  We had great seats, about ten rows from the stage.  I could actually see his face!!!!  We had a great Friday, and came home Saturday afternoon.  It was a great couple of days.  I must admit, I can hardly wait to go back to Town Square in Vegas......it will be pretty awesome when all the stores and restaurants open.  It is set up like a little village.  It was nice, because it isn't real crowded right now, but all the stores I wanted to go to were open, plus a few more.  We will be revisiting it in April.  I have two free drink tickets and one free appetizer ticket to use at Tommy Bahama's Grill!!!!  Like I said.....PARADISE!

Until later,

Ciao Baby!

SURPRISE VISIT

Hey all,

 (my sis) surprised us with a visit this weekend.  It has been fun!  She has kept JR and me very busy............cooking, mixing cocktails, and dying her hair!!!  Here's some pics from yesterday, when we took a spur of the moment trip to Vegas, and then saw Trav and Traci on the way home!!!  It was a good day!!!

On the road to Vegas - 9:00 A.M.!!

This is where we ate lunch.  One of our favorite places!!

Then off to the mall to visit Trav.

THEN OFF TO SEE ZACH AND ZOEY

Until later,

Ciao Baby!

HOWDY

Geez, where does the time go?  Not much to say.  Had a nice Super Bowl Sunday.  Trav, Traci, Zach, and Zoey came over.  JR made his famous menudo, and I made carnitas. Zoey doesn't sleep much, so was up most of the day.  At least she is a good baby, and doesn't cry a lot, because she sure doesn't like to take naps!

Went to Zach's basketball game.  He did good, got a few baskets.  He loves playing all the sports.  Not sure the kids understand the concept, but they sure have fun, and that's what counts!

This week JR and I went to Vegas just for relaxation.  We had a great couple of days, doing whatever we felt like doing.  Did a little shopping, eating, and gambling.  Went to the movies and saw Michael Clayton......didn't care much for it.  We are going to see George Lopez this month.

That about sums up my last two weeks.  The weather here has been great, makes you long for summer!

Until next time,

Ciao Baby

QUICK UPDATE

Had a fun day.  Went to see Bucket List.  Cute movie.  Went over to Trav's after that.  He took Zach to shoot a few hoops while Grandpa and I stayed with Zoey.  She is soooo cute.  She is feeling better, but is still not 100%.  I will be so glad when she is off the breathing treatment and that medicine.  She is just so little to have to be doing that.  After the guys got back Grandpa and I took Zach to Pied Piper Pizza.  We had a great time, Zach and I got 735 tickets!!!  That might be a new record for us.......as usual Zach got 90% of them, but I'm not alllllllll that bad, he is just luckier!!!  We got home about 7:00, started a fire, mixed a couple of lemon drop martinis, and watched a little recorded TV.  It is now only 8:30, but I am ready to hit the hay. Tomorrow, honey-do chores, and getting ready for next week. Man, the weekends are waaaaaaay too short!

Until next time,

Ciao Baby!

WHAT A WEEK

Ok, I'm hoping most of you have read Traci and Trav's blog and know what has been going on with Zoey.  Thankfully, she seems to be doing better, but I won't be happy until she is 100%.  Traci went to work today, but Trav wouldn't let me come over and help him.  Hey, I just wanted to make him dinner and take care of Zach and Zoey while he ate, but I respected his wishes.  He probably rather have his own down time if he can get everyone situated.  

Anyway, what else....my mind is a fog with all that has been going on. I bought a new computer chair, which I am waiting for JR to put together for me.  Guess what.....Donna bought the same chair!!!

After this week I am thankful for the uneventful weeks.  

Mac and I are still having disposition (his) problems, but, hopefully, will iron them out.  Entourage is giving me a problem, but I have to blame that on Microsoft, not Mac.  I have switched back and forth from Entourage to Mac Mail.  They each have their pros and cons.  I can't seem to get Entourage to print, each page gets less and less margins, and I have done everything possible to try and fix this.  It is irritating, because some of the options you are supposed to be able to use are grayed out when you use the drop down list.  Anyway, tonight I switched back to Mac Mail, so I will see how that works.  I wasn't crazy about it because I can't print just a "selection."  I have to print either a whole document or a whole page......what a waste of ink!!!

Until later, 

Ciao Baby!
