can't sleep...

i'm so excited i'm gonna bust a gut if I don't tell someone! I'm surprising my husband with a trip to disney world!! I made all the arrangements, and I will spring it on him on his birthday April 16. We leave April 17! Our first trip alone, without the kids or dogs. Feeling a bit guilty about whether we really can afford it, but it will be his birthday presant, my birthday presant, and this year is our 25th wedding anniversary. So we are gonna whoop it up! I love him so much, he is also my best friend. Ok I feel a little overwhelmed trying to plan and pack everything behind his back, while he's at work. Making lists and secret piles. Can't forget about dogs, I have to make sure I make enough food for them while I'm gone( yes they get homemade dog food, very spoiled), and make sure i have insulin for my tucker. well I better go I have a lot to do. ttyl

Thursdays

I love thursdays they are probably my favorite day of the week! We eat take out, watch great shows or scary movies every thursday. I pay all my bills on this day ( even though thats not fun) i guess it feels good to be able to compared to the rest of the country. Only one more day till friday! Thursday just feels like a very homey day!

And the winner is.....

There is a zebra on my shelf,With a funny smile,And Prince Eboo is just the one, To ride him for awhile...The little shelf would be complete,With two mischievous souls, And magic would be all the time,For their combined goals.I think the fun would be nonstop,We'd search for them, and wonder too,Where did they go, what did they see,To make get off the shelf with glee?I have no answer yet, But there's one thing that's true, The zebra would love company.... and that is Prince Eboo!

I will contact you asap and i will him him off to you right away. Congrats!

Thankyou to all who stopped by... I loved reading your comments, and getting to know each of you through your blogs.

It's coming...

It's coming can you feel it? Spring... it's in the air in New York! The dogs and I can feel it. Can't wait to feel the sun on my face. already thinking of ways to arrange our pond this year. Well mainly the waterfall and plants. We bring the fish indoors for the winter( bet they can't wait to get back out there too). Can you feel it?

What do you win! prince eboo!

been sooooo busy lately with christmas coming, went to the city, no matter how many times you see the rockafeller tree in person it never fails to take your breath away. it's just a magical time to visit the city, saks snow flakes light up the whole building, the windows all decorated for christmas. bryant park with all the handmade items for sale. the architecture of the city. last but far from the least grand central station is so spectacular any time of the year. shopping, eating, taking the train, antique shopping. last three days have been all snow great time to wrap presents, and make cookies.

my favorite holiday memorys

my favorite holiday memory was when my daughter was 10 and was questioning wether or not santa was real. she decided to tell santa something very special she wanted and if it came true, then he was real. she couldn't wait till christmas and finally straight up asked me. i told her the truth but in turn she had to tell me what she asked for. she replied, " i asked santa to make my mom not sick anymore." within a couple of months i wasn't sick anymore,(thanks to accupuncture) and she came to me and said there really is a santa.

to everyone out there HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! i hope everyone has a wonderful day like i know i'll have. surrounded by family, with a huge delicious meal( i don't cook, so i know it's delicous) always starting the day off with the macys parade, either there or on tv, this year on tv. went to the city last monday with my hubby. such a wonderful day running around finding new treasures, shopping for christmas, enjoying ny hot dogs, the smells of ny, and sights, its just such an exciting place to be. oh and how can i forget we actually were on tv the today show when they showed the crowd, our 15 minutes of fame, thats enough for me. i have a lot to be thankful for this year, but most of all i am a very blessed person everyday of my life.

bills quilt

this quilt is a rememberance for my brother bill. it was the easiest quilt i ever made. i didn't have to think about it at all it just flowed.

he loved the outdoors, and i can just picture him walking through the snow, in his leather coat and cap, with his constant companion killer. he passed away just a few months earlier than bill and i know they're together watching over us all.
