Happy Long Weekend!

I know I'm not the only one excited about the long weekend.  I know weather may not be great but who cares, read, cook catch on sleep and maybe have some fun with family and friends. I'm looking forward to Saturday at Sweet Paradise on Uppper Paradise and Stonechurch. I'll be there live tomorrow form noon till 4pm. We'll have a lot a great things going on so drop by and say hello to a very well known store in our community. I helped hand out the "Yes, I Can" awards to students and they were such a great group of students who were at Michelangelo's last night with their parents to receive medals they all so richly deserve. I think I'll buy a book this weekend and my hubby and I have to get some golf in between the rain. Have a great long weekend!!!!!!!!

Thursday Thoughts

It's looks like it might not be the greatest looking long weekend for weather.  If it's rest and relaxation you're looking for this weekend it's great and if it's golf, opening up the pool or gardening, your plans may get interrupted by showers.  I will be at Sweet Paradise over at Stonechurch and Upper Paradise this Saturday from noon till 4 pm for a big bbq and celebration. We'll be across the street from the store over at the Dot ca store for all the festivities.  I've already planted a few herbs.  I have planted mint and mint chocolate mint and mint is great in cold drinks and recipes and it grows like crazy so plant it where you know it won't take everything over.  I'm going to MC the Yes I can awards tonight at Michaelangelo's Banquet Centre.  I'm very excited for the students!!!!

Warming up!

I couldn't wait to get home and open the windows up and let the fresh air come in.  What a great day it was and of course today is a different matter   I have been trying to get at least one yoga class in a week and yesterday I did a class that made me feel like a million bucks.  It's all strengthening your body and soul and I gotta tell you I feel great after that class.  I got home last night with full intentions of watching American Idol because I only watch the finals of any reality show and I got hooked on watching restaurant makeover on the food network and last night they kept running commercials for Former CFL'er Matt Dunigan's cooking show that looks good.   Good morning to Lisa Zahoradni for Total Physio on upper James St.  We'll be dropping by this morning with mugs and coffee.  See ya at coffee break!!!

Carnival Season is Upon Us

I will be in the chat room at about 9:30 this morning. Just log onto to our website and hit chat room and drop me a line. I would love to know what everyone is doing for the long weekend. 

I noticed parking lots getting set up to sell fireworks and I was in Burlington last weekend and I noticed the mini carnivals in the mall parking lots...so look for a carnival coming to your neightbourhood soon!!!!

I've been trying to take a yoga class at least once a week and I gotta tell you I never thought I'd feel this out of shape. It is so good on the entire body including the derriere.

Post Mom's Day Monday

Could someone tell me where the weekend went? Saturday night my sister and I took my mom and relatives to see the Italian comedian Joe Avati. He was fabulous and the show started at 8 and didn't wrap up till about 11:15. It was a mother's day gift. I believe the gift of laughter is a nice change from flowers. My dad was going on about the cost of gas yesterday because he had seen gas at 1.19 and didn't end up getting it till 24 hours later when it shot up to 1.25. We'll be lucky if we see it at 1.20 again. Friday night was a celebration at Liuna Station for the 30th anniversary of Hamilton Magazine. What a blast and the Spoons performed. It was great!! I was so excited to get a surprise visit from my gorgeous step kids who drop off a beautiful bouquet of flowers for mom's day. What sweethearts!!

Happy Friday!

I am never going to feel old and gray again!!! I watched Oprah yesterday afternoon and her guests were Cher and Tina Turner. Here's 2 ladies ages 61 and 68 and they've never looked better!! They are so similar in that their careers began with controlling husbands who took over their careers but they escaped that hold to form very successful solo careers. I'm never going to complain about my age again. But then again I'm not one to do that because my thoughts are that there are some things in life we can control and some things like aging that has to be left alone. You have to let this process take place naturally. I've taken that attitude for a long time and I maintain eating a sensible diet with the odd' indulgence, along with regular exercise and a happy personal life is the key to ageing gracefully. Have a great weekend and go for a walk with your family this weekend.

Thursday Thoughts

We're getting closer and closer to the mother's day weekend. Have you decided what you're doing with mom? It does get harder and harder to something with someone who doesn't want to be fussed over. People are getting anxious to open up their pools and if you have neighbours with one, I bet you they'll be looking to getting it open before the rush on Victoria Day weekend. I think we're staying put for the long weekend.  You know when you look around in the area there's a ton of things to do without having to pack up and drive for hours. I just bought tickets to see singer Al Green in Toronto next month. He is supposed to be amazing in concert. Speaking of concerts Matt and I are giving away tickets to see Celine Dion in Toronto in September. This is another added show due to her overwhelming popularity!!!!

Wednesday wonderings

Don't you just love it when you decide to wash you car and a half hour later a bird decides it needs to mess it up.  It happened to me yesterday. I had a clean looking car for about an hour till the bird episode. I noticed gas is back to almost $1.22.  We can't dwell on it right? My husband has decided to give me golf lessons in our backyard so last night until just before dark we practiced chipping into a little net. I actually enjoyed it.  I was forced to actually relax and take it easy.  Good morning to Lisa for the back clinic on Rymal Road.  We'll be dropping by with coffee and our new coffee mugs for the staff this morning. Matt and I are giving away a pair of tickets to Celine Dion in Toronto September 27th today thru Friday keep listening!!
