Happy Birthday Grandma!

Today is a special day in our lives as it is my Grandma Fern's 90th birthday.

Although the last couple of years have not been the easiest on her, we are grateful that she was able to see her 90th birthday and hopefully a few more after that!

Happy Birthday Grandma!  I love you!

Look how happy Grandma looks!  It must be cause the handsome guy next to her!

The son she loves more than anything in the world.  And he is not only an awesome son, but an amazing father!

Daughter-in-law and Mother-in-law.....might not always be the easiest of relationships, but  my mom has done the most outstanding job in helping Grandma... Mom, you rock!

Her favorite (and only!) Grandson!  He does her proud!

Me and Grandma.....  You know, she was wearing heals until only a few months before she turned 90....  Its in my blood, obviously!

Looking forward to spending her 91st.....


Love you Grandma Fern!

Congratulations!

To Mr. & Mrs. Dave Abrams! 

I was lucky enough to attend the wedding of my very good friend Becky a couple of weeks ago.  And since I am slow on the blogging... I am just now getting to wishing them all the happiness in the world!

Becky and Dave pledging their love for one another

The newest Mr. & Mrs!!!!!!

Ahhh.... Love!

From left to right... me, Becky, Harmony & Lisa.  The ironic thing?  Lisa and I have known each other since the 4th grade!  And we hadn't seen each other in 17 years.  She still looks the exact same! :-) Love being able to re-connect with old friends!

I want to wish Becky and Dave a lifetime of happiness and love!  Love you both!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I just wanted to wish all my lovely friends out there a very Happy Valentine's Day.

This is a very special Valentine's Day for me as it is my first as Mrs. Rich Lansdale.

Our first moment as husband and wife

I love you more than anything in this world.  And I am so happy to be your wife.


HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Sadness

Yesterday morning a friend of mine's dad died.  He had cancer.  I hate cancer.  It took away a grandfather that I never got to meet.  My grandmother is a survivor of breast cancer but it took one of her breasts away.  I have a good friend who is also a breast cancer survivor but because of that horrible disease she can no longer have children.

It is a sucky disease.  One day they will find a cure.  I just hope that one day is sooner than later before it takes any more good people from this life.


Kelly, I hope your dad is resting in peace now.  He is in a better place and looking down on you with all the love in the world.

Happy Birthday Mom!!!!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!!!!  I hope you have as wonderful day as you are!!!!  Enjoy your dinner with Daddy and I am looking forward to dinner with the whole family on Sunday!

I love you!

Here we go again...

I am back on the wagon!  It has been 2 days, but I am back on the diet!  I think I can! I think I can!

For those of you who are interested in being on a healthy diet and lose weight at the same time, let me share with you  my menu... its delicious (insert sarcastic comment here)

BREAKFAST:
Bowl of Oatmeal (one packet)
Coffee (can't live without the stuff!)

SNACK:
Greek Yogurt with a handful of granola.

LUNCH:
4oz of chicken
1 Cup of Rice
You can add a salad too with 2 grams of fat or less dressing...

SNACK:
Low Carb Bar (less than 2 or 3 carbs.)

DINNER:
4 Oz of Protein (preferably chicken or fish.  Although I did have pork last night)
All the veggies you can eat!
Salad with 2 grams or less of dressing

DESSERT:
None... ha ha just kidding. On this diet you can have a Jello Cup, although I do try to avoid it.  For instance last night I had a piece of gum.

How can I not lose weight on this diet???? Seriously!

Did I mention I have to go to Chicago on business next week?  That is going to be a challenge!

Off to A Rocky Start

So I thought I could do this... turned out, I suck at dieting.  Where is the mind set that I had 6 years ago?  I was perfect!  Lost so much weight that I was actually told to stop losing!  And that I was too skinny!  I never agreed with that, but I liked it!

But now 14 days into the new year and I am starting my diet, again... tomorrow.  All I really have to do it be really good for a month, maybe two at the most!  And then I would be happy about my weight.  Hopefully!  probably!

So tomorrow is it.  Tomorrow (which is Saturday, BTW) I start the diet.  Oatmeal for breakfast, Greek yogurt for a snack, chicken and rice for lunch, low carb for a snack and then chicken a veggies for dinner.  I can do this. Right?
