Happy Valentine's Day

I know I haven't been Blogging lately, but work has been demanding and time just seems to have slipped by, day by day. Really, nothing special has been going on. I've been working on getting my sewing/craft room in the basement rearranged and cleaned up and that's taken some time. It also is part of my Less is More campaign for my self. In line with that I finished an afgan that has been around for about 25+ years and gave it to our good friend, Eddie. He just loved it. SO, I finished something and as an added bonus, I made someone happy!!! In addition to that, I do have to mention...on 01-07-08 I weighed 208...This AM 02-11-08 I weighed 200...not a great deal of weight in a month, but I'll take what I can get!!

And just for the record ...This weather has been unbelievable...we got 10-12" of snow last Wednesday and I had to stay home all day. That put me behind at work and I already had something going on to make me miss 1/2 of Thursday, so now I am playing catch-up at work!! And we leave Thursday for Orlando so I'm missing 1/2 of Thursday and all of Friday!! So I really shouldn't be blogging NOW!

Anyway, Yes, I said Orlando...Alex, Hunter and I are flying out Thursday evening to Orlando, Florida to see Mickey Mouse (and other various things)! And yes, I'm getting excited and nervous. (I think the boys are too!) The last time I was there, Rhonda was living in Florida and she did all the driving and planning...this time it's all on me. I have to get us everywhere and keep us safe. I'm sure it will be fine, but I'm nervous about it none-the-less.

The weather is supposed to be in the 80's in Florida while we are there! WOW! Here it has been below freezing for so long, it seems like forever! I will be so grateful for a few days of WARM!

Our tentitive itinerary is as follows: Fly out of DSM on Thursday @ 6:20 PM CST. Land in Orlando @ 10 PM EST. Get the rental car and drive to our Hotel (Best Western Lakeside, just 2 miles from Disney World!!) Next morning we have to get our '2-day 4-park hopper' tickets to Disney World, tickets to Sea World and also the Arabian Nights Dinner Show.

Hopefully we can do Sea World and one of the Disney parks (Magic Kingdom) in one day (along with a late Dinner Show) and

two Disney parks (Animal Kingdom & Epcot) the next day.

On Sunday, the day we leave, we are planning a trip to the east coast...Cocoa Beach...to, at least, see the ocean and maybe Alex can do a little ocean fishing off the boardwalk. (His wish, not mine!)

And maybe Hunter can get in the water...he would like that, I'm sure!!

After that, our flight leaves Orlando @ 3:45 PM EST and arrives back in DSM @ 5:45 PM CST. Trip over.

I know that's a lot to cram into three days but that's all the time we have and I intend for us to as much as possible in those three days. I know we will be tired when we get home, but it will be so fun while we're there!! I'll fill you in when I get back.

We hope you all have a Wonderful Valentine's Day!
