Well - Happy New Year's Eve. I have no plans and feel blah
anyway. Too much I want to do and NEVER enough time
to do it all! Maybe I should make that a resolution - NAH!
I know
better.

Well I am going to start this new "project" with my friend
Tammy and I look forward to it. I know it will be lots of fun.
I hope it will bring us closer. It is called Project 365/2009.
Our blog is not done yet but will be up and running soon!
So stop by there and check us out. The idea of the project
is to post a new pic of anything and blog about it each
day. Still working on all the details.

Well tah tah for now!

Well Christmas is finally over! We all had a nice day. It
was the smallest
Christmas in the history of my family!
But it was being with family that
mattered the most ....
oh bullshit! .... lol ....... I'll be honest - I was happy

to get my Circle-E Candles and my Starbucks card!

I do wish I would have had more time to call people
and chat. I miss Dana and Tammy!

OH!! We went out for dinner on Christmas night. none
of us wanted to cook! And is SUCKED!! Dinner was
terrible! the service was terrible and our new tradition
is going to be ordering pizza on odd years and Chinese
on even years!!

Well off to watch Dark Night and Mamma Mia!

Our Cruise to Mexico!!




Our drink waiter - and Lynsie future husband (wishful thinking! on her part)



Well - I am back! I had a great time on my Mexico cruise!
The weather was perfect - not too hot! Did lots of shopping and my husband even surprised with me some BLING!!
Our first stop in Puerto Vallarta was great! We rented a Jeep and took a tour through the town and the back roads - places I would never think of going on our own. It was run down and yet the people that live that way are happy. And that is really all that matters. We stopped at a Tequila Factory - OF COURSE!! and even my daughter got to have some - she did not like it and her face showed it! LOL Our last stop was at an exclusive restaurant right on the beach where we had dinner at sunset! Good food and beautiful scenery!

One of our towel animals!



another one of our towel animals - we got a different animal each night!



ON JEEP TOUR!

Lynsie tasting Tequila at the factory:

And how did she like it ?? ..... YUCK!!



Then next day we went to Mazatlan. It was a busy day. Shopping and walking and more walking !! Had lunch at Senor Frogs! WHAT A BLAST THAT WAS!! That is also the port where Tony bought some jewelry!!!


MY BLING - the pic does not do it justice!



Then our next stop was Cabo San Lucas!

Sunrise from my room pulling in to Cabo San Lucas



The whole reason for this trip
was so Tony could go to Sammy Hagar's bar - Cabo Wabo! And we did! We all (even my 17 yr old girls) did a shot of Tequila and took some pics!












At the start of this trip one thing Tony and my daughter wanted to do was go Para-sailing. Ya know the parachute thing behind a boat - way up in the air! OVER THE OCEAN AND SHARKS AND STUFF! I am scared of heights - I don't even like to stand on the upper level at the mall and look down! And my daughter's friend that came with us is the same way! So what happens... first thing off the boat on the pier Tony finds some guy and says HEY - where can we Para-sail? And of course the guy point us right to the para-sail guys. They were all over us!! And before I could object - I was on the boat! We get out on the water and then they tell us that my husband and I CANNOT go together! I freaked out - started crying and said NO WAY! I am not doing this ALONE! The deal was we would go together and the girls would go together. But cuz it was so early in the day there was not enough wind to put us up high enough - finally the guy said that if I went with one of the girls it would be ok! So - my daughter (LITTLE MS COURAGE) put her arm around me and said come on mom let's do this!! And I said OK!!! We were strapped in and off we went! I could not believe I was doing this and within 2 minutes I was smiling and laughing and loving it!! It was calm - peaceful and beautiful! I loved it and would totally do it again! Then it was Tony's turn with Nisha to go with him! I told her how great it was. I think she smiled as much as I did !!! We all loved it and all would do it again!


BEFORE:

AND AWAY WE GO!!

I LOVED IT!!!

The boat looks so little!!

Tony and Nisha

AFTER:



Lunch at NO WORRIES~



Now it is back to reality - work - and OH YEAH ! CHRISTMAS! Not to mention the 100th birthday party that we are throwing for Tony's grandmother this weekend. Family will be here in a few days and we have to finish up the final stages of party planning.

Well my daughter has a minor surgery tomorrow. She is having a screw taken out of her knee from the last ACL surgery she had. A lot for only being seventeen.
Last night we went out for our Christmas company dinner. It is the one time every year she gets to dress up like a prom queen - except prom of course.









Zee and her best friend since pre-school.




Saturday we shove off for our cruise to Mexico. I am looking forward to relaxing and some quiet time - not sure I will actually get it though.
