Favorite Time of Day

I read it, so I am tagged.

My favorite time of day is when I get home from work. TJ comes running and is so happy to see me. It is the first time I get to see Bob awake because he is asleep when I leave for work. TJ and I get to go on a long walk and Bob and I get to have dinner together. I love that we make time to have dinner together every night. Sometimes we get to relax on the couch, watch TV and cuddle =)

Doggie Sundae

Tonight we went to Brusters for ice cream. Brusters is so close that we can walk there. They give free doggie sundaes, and TJ loved his! We try to take him to doggie activities. So, far he has been to Petsmart and went swimming. He also loves going on walks. Once he gets all his shots we can go to the Dog Park. Here is a recent photo of him, he is 22.5 pounds and feels right at home!

Pineapples in our yard!

We have two pineapple plants in our yard, and they started growing pineapples! One fell off so we got to eat it! It was so yummy! We have 2 more growing, how fun!

Randomness

* I have decided to participate in Angelle's Book Tour. She is Stacy's sister in law. So, I got a library card and went to our local library. The place was a dump, it looked like a dirty old used book store. They said they had copies of the book and pointed to several shelves where the book could be. They said they were not in alphabetical order and "Good Luck!" I thought libraries were suppose to be organized. So much for that. I did find the book though and it did not take too long to hunt down. Yea! (Update: I went to the Orlando Public Library after the local library- what a difference. It was huge- 4 floors! They had a cafe and a gift shop. Too bad they can't spread the money around to the local branches)

* I got my wedding dress back from the preservation company. It looks so pretty in the box, but I don't know how they fit it in there. I can't take it out either because they sealed it, so it won't yellow. Maybe in 20 years I can take it out and look at the whole thing again. =)

* I cancelled my gym membership! Most people are excited to join, but I am excited to cancel. It was just a waste because the gym was so far away. I have been walking at lunch with a co-worker and I walk TJ twice a day, so I really didn't need to go anyway. They made Bob & I come into the gym though, they would not let us cancel over the phone. Like someone would randomly cancel someone else's membership. Stupid gyms!

Rivership Romance

On Saturday I went with my parents on the Rivership Romance, while Bob helped our friends Chrissy and Adam move into their new townhouse. It was a 3 hour lunch cruise down the St John's River in Sanford. We had appetizers, salad, rolls, lunch and desert. They have booths for lunch that were in the air conditioning and an outside deck to sit out on. They also had a bar and a small dance floor with a DJ. The tour director told us some of the history of the area. There were tons of boats on the water and some people docked them on the river for swimming. Even though we have lived here for 18 years, we had never been on the cruise. I recommend it to anyone in the area. It really gave you a feel of old Florida.

Weekend Update

I had a fun-filled weekend. Saturday I met my Mom at Seasons 52. They change their menus for every season and have shot glass sized desserts called Mini Indulgences. The meal was delicious. Then, we went shopping, so a good time all around.



Saturday night, Bob, Sam, Ron, James and I went to the Central Florida Gator Club Football Kickoff Pub Crawl. We got 6 drinks for $15 and we got to go to 7 clubs. It was kind of like UF's Gator Stompin'. We had a lot of fun, there were so many people. They gave us real drinks too, not the watered down ones in Gainesville. I couldn't even finish all my drinks, I guess I am getting older. We went to Taco Bell afterwards, always good after drinking! Bob and I had not been there since Halloween, so we were ready for some Taco Bell! (The above photo is posted on the Central Florida Gator Club website!)

Sunday, Bob and I went to New Smyrna Beach to celebrate our friend Mike's birthday. Kim, Kaela, Mike, Bob and I had a great time at the beach! We went in the afternoon, so it wasn't as hot as it could have been. Then, we went back to their house and had some yummy hamburgers. Kim made them Paula Deen style with butter- yum!

Now, it's back to work- boo! I was late this morning because school started- too much traffic!

I'm going to be a bridesmaid!

My cousin Amanda just got engaged over the weekend and she asked me to be a bridesmaid! I am so excited! I had so much fun planning my own wedding, so I am so happy to help Amanda with her planning. She will be getting married in Michigan next July. I have always felt a special bond with her because we were both born on our grandmother's birthday. Congrats Amanda & Keith and thank you for letting me be a bridesmaid- I am honored!

(Plus this gives me motivation to start losing weight again. After the wedding I hit a plateau, so I am ready to lose again!)

I'm Famous!

This is old news, but still neat. My brother works on Desperate Housewives, as the Script Coordinator, and this past season he snuck my new last name into an episode. Above is the screenshot. Thanks Brian- so cool!

Walk Score

I thought this site was neat, Walk Score. It tells you how walkable your house is to restaurants, shops, etc. I got a 23/100- not very walkable!
