What a week.

A bunch of fires went off in San Diego. Over a thousand homes burned. Life was like a standstill on Monday and Tuesday. We were breathing unhealthy air and it was a bit eerie not seeing lots of cars on the road. It is ok now for us. But for those who had lost property, it is still rebuilding time for them. A lot went on and it is hard to think of how much really did happen. Fortunately, all is well for the Boyd family. I am thankful for all my family and friends in my life. Thanks to all the emails and phone calls from all over the map. Life should be back to normal on Tuesday. The kids return to school after 10 days off and I will continue working as I should (till I retire or win the lottery).

Back from the Cruise

Today is the first day back from the 7 day cruise we just took. It is also the first day since last Saturday nt. (8 days ago), I touched the internet or a computer. It was a good relaxing time, I am still swaying from being on a boat for so long. It was mostly sunny except for the last at sea day. Lots of beach time and got to parasail. Have a decent tan. I loved all the ports we stayed at for the day. Cabo, Matazlan and Puerto Vallarta. Cabo was mostly beach time, I got a massage on the beach and we sat at one of their local resorts for the day. In Matazlan, we relaxed at one of the resorts, used the pool and shopped a bit. This resort is where we have a time share if we wish to go to every yr. but most likely we will trade it out for something else. Puerto Vallarta, we went on this pirate ship, where they tried to entertain us, feed us etc.. I was a bit sea sick on that one, but then they let us play on their private beach for a few hrs. where it was nice and tropical. Relaxing yet fun, they had banana boats which the kids loved. Aaah the life. Till next vacation.

ONE day Left

Before I am gone for a week, no phone, no internet. Just me a boat and days in Mexico where I can lay on the sand and do nothing. All you can eat food there as well so that Elise and Ryan won't bug me about them being hungry all the time. I'm packed and ready to go. I never did go to the makeup French Class on Thurs. nt. but I went this morning. Also, had a facial. Always a treat. I can't wait to get away!!! Lots of dramamine is packed and I am ready my adventure!

Auvoir... Adios

Mexico here I come...

Count down 4 more days till retreat!
Cruising for 7 days, no phone, no internet (unless I wanna pay lots of money), more food and drink than I can handle and glorious water and sun!!!
O'well, This week I have yoga tomorrow night at 730 pm and Thurs. nt. is Makeup French Class (This is the class I will be missing the last day of my cruise). Tonight, I did advanced step class, for half the hr. class it was. I am not advanced, I am a beginner, I don't know what a mambo is... etc.. etc...I have two left feet and need instruction. I bought alcohol inks and some UTEE but forgot to buy the melting pot. So, I will need to spend some money maybe tomorrow before of after Yoga and buy a pot with my 40 percent off coupon. Then I can make cool pendants and whatever that melty stuff makes.
counting the days........

Weekends almost over.

O' gosh it went by fast. I still need to get dinner for the kids and I . Mc' D's night, next week we will be on a cruise where I will probably gain some lbs. I will try to offset it with the swimming pool or if they offer some yoga. Hmm I wonder how many calories shuffleboard burns. I spent a fortune at Michael's and Jo-Ann's this weekend, got enough cool stuff to last me, even though I am sure I will forget all the cool stuff and buy more cool stuff later on. I made a cool canvas owl painting out of alcohol ink and stamp ink. I also bought some double stick tape so I can emboss and use fine glitter. Also, I joined a cool group that does swaps once a month starting in Jan. 08. There are 13 of us. http://swapitlikeitshot.blogspot.com/ I guess that is why I went crazy at the craft store (jk). Off to desperate housewives land.
