RIP..

Well hello there! I has a great weekend barring the fact that my Jeep decided it had lived a good enough life and was ready to move on to the fabulous life of a junkyard. Tears...I LOVED my truck and it has shared alot of memories with me for the past 7 years....not sure who owned it the 3 years before I did but they took great care of it!

So the search begins for a new truck....oh and it MUST be a truck/SUV. How else will I get onto the beach this coming summer? Walk on like the rest of the world? I think not.

Here are the options:

Another Grand Cherokee, a Lexus RX or GX, Acura MDX, Volvo XC90, Ford Explorer or a Range Rover LR3. I need to test drive them all before I buy and hopefully that won't take very long! Any suggestions, warning, deterants etc....???

Finally Back!

Hello Girls...sorry for the very LONG hiatus but I am back and ready to blog!

I have to say that I am relieved that holidays are over! Back to reality - it just takes so long to readjust.

I spent a fabulous week in Marathon, FL a few weeks ago. My cousin Kelli, who is pregnant with TWINS, rents a house there every year for a MONTH...must be nice is all I can say! Well, I decided to take advantage of this and visit them - they were so welcoming. I can honestly say is was probably one of the most relaxing vacations I have ever taken. I don't think I wore anything but comfy cute pj's and bathing suits the WHOLE time. I read 3 books; one in its entirety while laying in the sun on the beach in the front yard. I also took an obscene about of naps outside in a comfy chair by the dock and pool....soooo nice!
Now Marathon is a beautiful place but I could NEVER live there! There is no decent shopping - although Miami is a 3 hour drive away!! And the town is full of old couples...which is so cute to see but a girl can't find a decent man among 70 year old men. I must admit to watch the older couples interact is quite heartwarming. The day I read the whole book on the beach was a little chilly - 65 degrees. I know, I know...not that cold but for them it is really cold. I was laying there in my chair with my sunhat and my bathing suit and the couples just kept on coming...they were decked out in their hats and fatigue suits laying out blankets and having picnic lunches followed by seaside naps in each others arms....SOOOO ADORABLE! I loved every minute of it!

I could go on forever but I digress, time have changed!
Tonight I am heading to Baltimore for the evening! My cousin is co-hosting a benefit for the Maryland Food Bank and I wouldn't miss it for the world! There will be a ton of fabulous bands great drinks and an after party that lasts till 6am!!! Of course I will not last till 6 am - I predict I will be back in my hotel, in my cute ever so comfy pj's, face washed and re-capping the night by 2 am.....and that is REALLY late for me! I will fill you all in on the festivities later this weekend!!

Hope your having gorgeous weather like we are here! Happy Friday & Wishes for a FABULOUS weekend!
