New Look!

I took the plunge and got away from the loyal bob hair cut. I am still getting used to this look but I am being told that it makes me look 10 years younger! I think I can live with that. Now if I could just get rid of the squinty eyes!!!

Happy Birthday Erin!


Happy Birthday to my little Princess! 33 years sure does fly by! Seems like only yesterday you were a cute little ballerina in baggy tights....

S T U F F

Bad Habits:


I have a few of those and I really wish I could break them, but I am thinking you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Or can you??





Habit #1 - Drinking Diet Pepsi (I switched about a year ago from my long time habit of Diet Coke and I also switched from a 32 oz a day of fountain soda to 1-2 cans) I guess I have cut back so that is a good thing, right?







Habit #2 - Nail biting. This was brought to my attention by my dil, Kristine. She detests that Jordan bites his nails. I have to tell you Kristine, it is a generational thing. My Dad did it, I do it and now Jordan. Funny it is only one person in each family, but it is probably the most fidgety, nervous one! Just so you know more than likely one of your little Lewis' will inherit this awful habit. (more than likely a son since in my research on the subject boys are more likely to bite their nails than girls & most stop the habit before age 30) I would give anything to break this habit. Any ideas besides the nasty tasting junk you put on your nails?



Habit #3 - Candy. Why do I love junky candy so much. I don't really care for expensive chocolates. I like things like red licorice, Dots, Good & Plenty, Tootsie Rolls, Circus Peanuts and Candy Corn. Pure sugar!! Yuck, but I can't help myself. I need to stay out of the Dollar Store!!





Habit #4 - Reality TV. I am totally addicted to this trashy stuff. You name it and I watch it. I am too embarrassed to name them all for fear you might think I need an intervention!







This morning as I was driving to work and heading in the left turn lane on Howe & Hurley the light turned red. Well, the guy in front of me went through it and a light flashed. I had never seen this before and I am pretty sure he/she got busted for running the red light. The flash was the camera above the signal light! The light was not just red it was bright RED and he/she had more than enough time to stop. (The car in front of him went when it was yellow turning red.)




I am getting my hair cut on Tuesday. I am a little nervous. I have decided to go shorter. I have had this same obnoxious bob for years and I am just sick of it. I want something different and more age appropriate. I hope I don't regret it. I don't expect to look like Lisa Rinna but I hope I get something close to this haircut.














Go see Toy Story 3! It is excellent. I loved it and so did my whole entourage of Patricks & Wilkins. Very good movie!

Friendship

Over the years I have had many friends, as most people have. Girls just need girlfriends through all stages of our lives. We need someone to confide in, someone to tell our secrets to, someone to keep us on track and someone to tell us if we look fat in our new outfit or that our hair is sticking up in the back! My friends are the best and they have always been there when I needed them and sometimes when I didn't think I needed them! They have cried with me, laughed with me, ate with me, watched movies with me, made things with me, gone on trips with me, helped with my kids and the list goes on and on. I love my friends and I know life would be so much harder without them & not near as much fun!!

The best of friends,
Can change a frown,
Into a smile,
when you feel down.

The best of friends,
Will understand,
Your little trials,
And lend a hand.

The best of friends,
Will always share,
Your secret dreams,
Because they care.

The best of friends,
Worth more than gold,
Give all the love,
A heart can hold.

Fly Away Home


I have an exciting couple of weeks ahead and I couldn't be happier. I always love to have my little birdies coming back to the nest! Saturday morning bright and early courtesy of ....


(Can you believe they had $10 flights from Long Beach to Sacto? - so AMAZING!!)

This pretty little birdie is coming home for a few days & it's long overdue. It has been two years and I have missed her!! Can't wait....
