• Love Letter

  While going through my old photo albums searching for band pictures from high school for my upcoming band reunion I came across a note sent to me from my junior high school 7-th grade boyfriend, Robert. I barely remember his last name or even what he looked like. What a romantic, huh?  LOL! Â...

• Bad Car Karma

  It's one thing to get a flat tire - that's a hassle all in itself.  But to have back-to-back car drama - really?? On Wednesday, which was my last official day of my summer vacation, I was headed into downtown Orlando to get my hair cut (see previous blog post) and do some errands.  I was on the...

• Running for Office? Don’t Call Me!

  Here in Florida the primary elections are this Tuesday, Aug. 24.  My answering machine has never had as much use as it has this past week, and not from my friends and family. It's all political.  One night I came home from work to find 9  messages from candidates. I early voted this year.  ...

• Camping Completed

  The annual O'Regan Lake George camping adventure for 2010 is completed.  Hard to believe I've done this three years now.  If you know me at all, you know what camping instincts I have (NOT!)  So to survive the trip for the third year is quite a feat in my book. I've definitely learned a LOT ab...

• Hair Today Gone Tomorrow

  Overused cliche, I know, but it fits this title.  I chopped 6-inches off my hair this week. Every ten years or so I get tired of the same old look  and take the plunge.  Looking back at my photo albums it was late 2000 the last time I went short. This year I made the decision while Mike and I ...

• The Grand Canyon

  Continuing on from my last post about our Adventures by Disney trip to the Southwest... Mike and I had mutually decided last year that the Grand Canyon would be a perfect vacation for us this year.  Neither one of us had ever been before and it was high on our list of "places to see before you d...

• And then…TURBULENCE!

  It was my second flight to and from Los Angeles in 10 days. After four hours and fifteen minutes of flying, the pilot came on the loud speaker and said "Ladies and gentlemen, we're in our final descent into the Orlando area with an approximate landing time in just about 20 minutes. We ask that ...

• Eating Right

  My travel life has definitely picked up in the past few weeks which has delayed me from my blogging duties. After my annual physical earlier this month and meeting with the dietitian I've made a commitment to eating healthier.  And this comes after I thought I already WAS eating healthy.  ...

• Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu

  Yoga. Downward dog.  Plank. Sun Salutation. Warrior. Child's pose. Breathe out the toxins. Breathe from the abdomen. I'm learning folks - I'm learning. I started taking yoga classes for the first time on a regular basis last month.  I'm 5 weeks into it attending 2 classes a week a...

• A Fine Line

  I'll be brief today.  My thoughts this morning: It's a fine line... Between being arrogant to being confident. Between being too personal to being social in a business world. Between being polite and non-intrusive to appear uncaring. What are your fine lines?...
