Technical difficulty

There has been something wrong with my computer for the last three days. My husband, the computer wizard, has been working on it diligently to no avail. I hope it gets fixed soon! I have been working on my ever so slow net book lately. The one good thing that has come out of this computer mess is that  I found all of my Atlantis pictures. We went to the Atlantis in the Bahama's for our 25th anniversary. I am going to share some of my pictures with you.

They asked me to join the squad but I told them I was on vacation. I watched making the squad, I know how hard these girls work.

This is humorous because I buy a 35 pack of this water for $4.99. They had it in a champagne bucket (a larger bottle than what I buy) and were charging $20.00 for this bottle of water at one of the restaurants we went to.



That's me in the pool. This is the pool that I met two little German school girls. I took German for four years in school and wanted to practice on them. I said "Deine hausafgabe fur deutsche nocht nicht fertig" which translates to "have you finished your German homework" They laughed at me then swam away under water. I tried that line on other German school children before. They laughed at me too. They said they never heard someone speak German with a Boston accent before. Maybe that was it.




I just could not do it. I could not go down this slide. I even tried the tamer version, got to the top and said Hell no. I climbed back down the stairs.



My favorite sea creature. A horse of course.

This ended up being our favorite pool. We were here every day. I dont even remember how many pools there were but there were a lot!

I want to be there right now! I absolutely loved it there! Hopefully soon,

 we will go back and take the whole family. It is just that kind of place. I want to frolic in the pool with my favorite grand baby.

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Its Ok Thursday 3/29

I am linking up again with with Neely: A Complete Waste of Makeup and Amber: Brunch With
Amber Click the button above to visit and link up too!

"Its OK"

- That I never open my door to peddlers. When I had all of the kids living at home they would yell PEDDLERS when we saw them walking up our driveway and everyone would hide. I don't care if you have on a shirt and tie and are carrying a bible. I saw that Lifetime movie before.

-That even though I don't need to clean, I did it anyway because I had the time and energy.  Who knows when I will have the time and energy again.

 

-That I have volunteered to spread the mulch. The husband will be charged accordingly. I will charge him less than the landscapers would. I am nice like that.

-That I am more excited for the opportunity to babysit my favorite grand baby for a few days than I am for an actual vacation.

 

-That it pays to have friends in high places. Remember that $250.00 ticket? It doesn't exist anymore.

-That I am so excited that one of my favorite shows, My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding is back for a second season.   Don't ask me why I am so fascinated with a culture that spends more money on their wedding dresses than they do on the trailers they live in.

-That I got to work more than one day this week.

-That when I work at night I always bring home Pizza Hut even though I say I am not going to.

-That I am going to win Mega Millions on Friday so I will see you all in 6 months or so when I am done travelling the world. (positive thinking people)

-That I am back to being a shut in because it is cold again.

-That I miss my kids.

-To go to the mall before you go grocery shopping. When you try on clothes and nothing fits, you will buy less at the grocery store.

-That i may check out Ulta before the mall.  Thank you fellow bloggers. Just what I need, another beauty supply to be addicted to.

Happy Thursday!

I was tagged

I was tagged by my daughter over at http://armywife-style.com/ and by the lovely Emily at life, etc.  http://emilymmeyers.blogspot.come  So I will answer both sets of questions and pass it on once.

I want to preface this post by saying that talking about getting "tagged" has a whole different meaning in my house.  We always see the same woman out jogging every day by our house.  We always used to say, "There is that lady out jogging again".  Her stomach started growing and we realized she was pregnant.  I don't know how it came about, but we started saying "There is the chick that got tagged".  I don't know why, but it always makes me laugh. That was probably 8 years ago.  She still jogs by my house pretty much every day.  We still call her the chick that got "tagged".  Here are the rules.

The 5 rules:
1. Post these rules
2. Post a photo of yourself and 11 random things
3. Answer the questions set for you in the original post
4. Create 11 new questions and tag 11 bloggers to answer them.
5. Go to their blog/twitter and tell them you've tagged them!

(I am not going to post 11 randoms because I am answering two sets of questions. I don't want to bore you)

11 questions from  Emily:

1. What is one food or drink that you will not eat?

Seafood. I am allergic.

2. What is your favorite thing about yourself?

My organizational skills.

3. Where is the best place you've ever traveled to?

I LOVE Montreal.  I don't even need to get on a plane to get there.

4. What is your favorite way to relax?

Happy hour out with friends

5. If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?

My need to have everything perfect all of the time.

6. What is your favorite book?

Gone with the wind

7. What is your most embarrassing moment?

I have 3 kids. There is not enough space on the Internet.  Like how I skirted that one?

8. How would you best describe your personality?

Engaging (that was courtesy of my husband)

9. What is something your scared of?

Snakes

10. What is your ideal pet and why?

A mini pony. I am a neat freak so an outdoor pet is ideal for me plus they are adorable! I could be the kooky lady that takes her mini pony out for walks.

11. What do you value most in a true friend?

Understanding

11 Questions from Army Wife Style:

1. Where would you live if you could live anywhere?

It is a toss up between Tuscany and the French Riviera.

2. What is your favorite color?
Green
3. What has been your favorite vacation?

The Atlantis in the Bahamas

4. Strangest thing you ever ate?

I don't eat anything weird. I am an infant I will not try anything weird. I was fed deer meat unknowingly and to this day the thought of it makes me gag.
5. Have you ever punched someone in the face?

No but Sometimes I would like to, however I am a lady. I will say that during the birth of my daughter my mother was looking at the monitor and saying ooooh that's a big contraction how did that feel (with a look of glee on her face I might add) and I asked her "Why don't you come over here and I will punch you in the face and you can tell me how THAT would feel" I was in transition and I can joke with my mom like that. That is the closest I ever actually came to punching someone.

6. Your strangest habit?
The fact that I cant leave my house if it is out of order. Laundry must be folded, dishwasher emptied, beds made and the house cleaned up.
7. Biggest pet peeve?

People that think they are more important than others.
8. Do you judge people who wear pajamas in public?

Obviously. It takes 2 minutes to throw on some clothes.

9. It's 10 o'clock. Do you know where your children are?

Not always. None of them are living under my roof right now so I only know where they are if there is a problem or they need something (They don't call their dad "ATM" for nothing). 

10. Favorite alcoholic beverage?

Do I have to pick just one? I guess I will pick the easiest one to pour when I just want happy hour right away, Pinot Grigio.

11. Favorite toy in childhood?

Jody's country kitchen. It was a red headed barbie like doll with hair down to her knees. She came with a kitchen that was like a dollhouse kitchen. My friend got the same doll and I convinced her to cut her dolls hair. She did. I still feel bad about that. We have been best friends since we have been 8 years old. I need to mention this to her next time I see her. I am sure she remembers though. Wouldn't you remember if your doll had a mullet?

So I am going to tag these lovely ladies: Mrs. X @ http://weddingmadefromlove.blogspot.com/, Monica @http://monicaslifeasiknowit.blogspot.com/, Ryan @ http://mrshargrave.blogspot.com/, Shannon@http://pagetwenty-two.blogspot.com/,Monica @ http://amazingtimestocome.blogspot.com/, Brett @ http://silverpooloflightgirl.blogspot.com/, kodie @ http://kodiakbear288.blogspot.com/ , http://thespamom.blogspot.com/, Nellie @ http://nelliesrandomness.blogspot.com/, Brittany @ http://mylifeasasailorsprincess.blogspot.com/, Courtney @ http://talesoflaceandglitter.blogspot.com/

Kiss and Makeup Monday 3/26

Today I am linking up with Mrs. Xenos over at http://newlyyeverythingg.blogspot.com/

This will be a new Monday link up. If you cant join today, join next week!

You can do a beauty product review or just talk about some of your favorite products! Anything goes.




My product today:

Reinvent Color Care Top Coat from the Sexy hair line. This is from the Healthy Sexy hair line.

I had originally bought this for a friend because I was giving her beauty products for her birthday. I couldnt resist and snagged it for myself. I am glad I did.

It is not a conditioner.  It is actually a glaze for your hair.  It makes it really shiny and leaves it feeling soft not sticky like some glazes can.  The only drawback to this product is that you need more shower time.  You wash, condition then glaze. It is worth the extra time.  Your hair will thank you. It will look healthier.  This was my first time buying Healthy Sexy Hair.  I love the Big Sexy hair line so I figured this would be great as well.  It is.  If you are looking for shine, you have to try this product!  Do you know what a top coat does for your nails? This does the same thing for your hair.
