My 2012 Word

So it's the new year and I still have to pick my world to live by this year. I think it will be improve...... meaning to improve at being a better me....to improve at being in better health......to improve at being a better wife.....to improve at being a better mom. We always have something we would like to improve, this year for me I started with my office and have been slowly working at getting everything sorted out and ready for 2012. I hope this year my families health is at it's best i really can do without the white hairs. Yup I am 35 and they are start to show their little strands here and there. Steve is being really sweet by trying to tell me they are just blonde hairs. Either he is going blind or just loosing his mind. I've never had a blonde hair nor will I ever.

I ended up getting side tracked on my Dr. Poon's lifestyle change but soon reality hit and I need to get back on track. Last few days I have been back to drinking my water and eating my Poon style food. Boy did I miss it. Sounds funny as some of you are thinking I am nuts but when you are used to one thing for so long when you get off for a while you need the feeling of having control again.

Off I go to get some typing done. Met with one of my brides and grooms tonight and they were so sweet bringing me a Starbucks....my favorite caramel brule. I thought it was so sweet when I found out the groom called the store and found out what I drink just so it would make my night. It really did but now I am so tried I want to sleep. Funny as coffee is suppose to keep you up. I guess having so many of them really reverses the process.

I better get some sleep. Good Night!

Happy New Year!!!!

Happy New Year! I am so thankful that 2011 is done and over with. I am praying that 2012 the year of the Dragon is going to be much better. It's so far starting to be a great year. Business is good, spending time with my family, and of course getting my life back in order so that when things get crazy again next week I am prepared to take on the world.

Today I decided to get groceries this morning, cleaned up in my room (business area) and just organized all my coupons with a new quick system. Yeah I do not have as many as I use to but there are enough that I need to have them organized so that I can start using them again. The system is a simple one and didn't cost a lot just about a dollar. I purchased 100 envelopes  3 5/8" x 6.5" at the dollar store and printed off labels in word with the following categories

Air Fresheners/Candles                                             

Baking Needs

It's was easy and took only about 5 minutes to get all the labels on the fronts of the envelopes and stuff them with the correct coupons. I am ready for my next shopping trip.

Even had the chance to speak with my Bermudian cousins and auntie. I could not believe I almost spoke to everyone except my cousin Mikey and my 2 uncles. Everyone looked great and I was so delighted I was able to speak with them over Skype. If you don't have skype you need to download it quickly.

Better get going as I am on the end of my second glass of champagne and still need to finish cleaning this area before going to bed.

November already

It's already November. I can't even believe Thanksgiving is gone, Halloween a thing of the past and now we are listening to Christmas music and already thinking of what we will be doing on Christmas Eve. This year has been extremely busy. I can not even believe how busy I have been with the kids, my dad, the school, the business and life in general. Our family trip to Disney feels like a thing of the past....actually I already need another vacation. The boys have all requested Hawaii but I am thinking of taking them to anywhere hot and all I will be doing is relaxing. Who am I kidding.

The boys are growing, life is super busy and I have to find a creative way to get Christmas shopping done.

10 Years Ago Today

It seams like we all remember seeing the pictures of the twin towers coming down just yesterday but in reality it was 10 years ago. What a sad day. I just wanted to come and post a message because the sadness has been in my heart all day. May the poor souls that are no longer with us rest in peace and may their family members always hold their special memories in their hearts. God Bless

Time Flies

 Can't believe we are so close to leaving on our family trip. Thought I would come in and just update on my very crazy weekend. It was another Edna and Veronica adventures. We did a wedding uptown at Presidente and then had to head all the way downtown. We were one person short this weekend so Edna and I had to work fast in order to complete everything. So off we went to Harbourfront Chinese Restaurant. I have never been there and did not know what to expect. The manager tells me to park in the little driveway. I proceed to head over to the little driveway and it's the boardwalk. People are moving out of the way and looking at me like I am nuts. At this point Edna and I know we are in the wrong area. I make the decision to leave the car right there (with blinkies on) and leave there to watch for the car. I start walking into this building that looks like a shopping centre. Well, to my surprise it is a shopping mall. I think oh my I must be in the wrong place all together. A man comes up and explains that the restaurant is to the left, then to the right and then upstairs. I head that way with this heavy arrangement in one hand and a tall glass vase in the other. Yup, through the mall and finally get to the elevator and ask another man where this restaurant is and he points to the food court. You've got to be kidding me is running thou my mind right now. Get up there and sure enough I am in the right place. Asked the manager there to send me a couple of guys to bring up the items. Done, now I want to get the heck outta there. Get in the car to see Edna was so nervous she chewed off all her shellaced nails....lol We are trying to get off this walkway and no one is moving out of the way. My car is surrounded by people. I thought this could not be happening. Well, really I was thinking I really need another Starbucks in order get thou this day. A security guy comes over and stops people and traffic for us to get out. Thank God! I have totally forgotten what it is like to drive downtown. Thankfully I really do not do a lot of weddings down there. We keep them more to the Vaughan area. Whew!!

 My family also checked out a new restaurant called Sofra Grill located at Dufferin just north of Langstaff. We headed out for dinner with my sales rep. Tal. We truly had a wonderful time and the food was great. I had the salad with grilled chicken breast. No word of a lie the chicken on top was 5 huge pieces. I can't wait to go back. Yum-O! Thanks Tal.

 We are still on Saturday and I get home and I am wired. Checked out who's on my bbm and get talking to Aimee (Edna's Sister) and she asks if we should get a girls night started right now. Well, why not. Edna, Aimee and myself had a wonderful time sipping wine (yes, I had diet coke) shellacing and just chatting the night away.

 Right about now you think after 1 sympathy delivery to Kettleby at 9 am, 2 weddings, dinner out and girls night I should be about ready to go to sleep. Well, no I still had to go to my night pick up from one of the weddings. Met up with Nikki at 12:30 am and waited until 1:30 am to pack up everything.

 Got home at 2 am and I was wired. What an awesome day! I just went non stop and it felt great to have a great day with my side kick Edna, my beautiful family, and my friends. Thanks to all who made my day a special one. Love you all.

August Already

 It's hard to believe July is gone and we are here in August. I am busy here with events, taking care of appointments with my dad, entertaining the kids. I finally buckled and put the kids in camp for a week so I can get some work done. Today was day 2 and let me tell you my office is clean. Yup, you read it right clean. I love saying that word. I am sure hubby is also happy that it is clean. I am surprised he hasn't said anything to me yet. Maybe it's the fact that I have been so busy and the only time I got to relax I really needed it.
 I have packed Tristan, Ethan and myself for Disney. Steve is the last one. He seams to think I am nuts for packing ahead of time. Let's see who will be laughing. I have 3 to pack and he has himself. I am looking forward to our trip. We finally told the boys we were going with our friends Edna, Marlon, Jaden and Noah. I am looking forward to spending time with the B family in Disney. I'll certainly post pictures.

 I better get going as I am paying bills on line and have to get something to eat. Have an awesome week!

Happy Summer

Wow, it feels like forever since I have last posted. Have no idea what the problem is but I am having issues trying to post. This is why I haven't been posting often.

Let's see what's new besides me being busy like crazy. Tristan and Ethan both play soccer 4 days a week. I booked our flight our to Disney. Steve and I celebrated our 10 years of marriage. Life has been insane to say the least. I lived past June 11 which I thought I never would have. lol

I hope this posts because if it does you will all be reading a lot more from me more often.

Baking Day

Good Evening Everyone,

I am finally able to come on here more than once a month. Life has been insane. I now have a 8 year old. I still can't believe my little or I should say my biggest boy is now 8. His communion is in a couple of weeks (still not ready) and I have a million and one things still to do. Dance recital is coming up and every single weekend is booked solid for me. I am going crazy.

Today I spent the day with some of my girlfriends (moms of the school) and we baked for our schools blessing this upcoming Wednesday night. We had a wonderful time. Ended up making hundreds of cookies in 7 hours but finished every single one of them. Thanks to all the wonderful moms who came out. I have enjoyed all of our baking and hope that everyone enjoys our cookies on Wednesday night.

I am delighted to see everyone posting about the meal plan. Once I get a little more time I will update it as I have a ton and a half of stuff that I have added to my daily plan. I would love to include it into an updated one. If you are requesting a meal plan please include your e-mail. If you don't I have no way of getting the information to you.

Off I go getting my work done. I look forward to reading about all of you wonderful remarks.

Good Night Everyone!
