Happy Coastal Friday!

Good evening!

Trina, Jason and I  all spent the day at the Oregon coast today, and had a blast!! We have gotten home not too long ago and we are all pooped out!! But we REALLY had the MOST fun!! 😉

My youngest sister, Trina, and my sweetie, Jason! Aren’t they soooo cute!?!?!

Now Trina and I!

Me and my sweetie!!

We followed this flock of birds that were flying really low to the ocean. We started with them in Depot Bay, and when we got back to Lincoln City, we were SURE that we saw the same group of birds again!! TOO FUNNY!! 😉

Look at this happy girl!

Her and Jason had found two little “friends” while exploring down at the beach!

I am not sure who is the bigger kid here!! HAHAHAHA!!! I just LOVE these two kiddos!! 😉

This is what my sweetie looks like when he is absolutely having a GREAT day!!! 😉

He picked up a new piece of drift wood that he is going to spend the next few months having fun carving! I can’t wait to see what he comes up with!

I just LOVE going to the beach, and going with family makes it even that much more special!!  We spent the day playing at the beach, shopping for used books, searching for saltwater taffy and peanut butter fudge (yes, Daddy, we heard you!! ;-)), eating good food, and hanging out having a FANTASTIC time!! 😉

I can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow!! 😉

Have a FABULOUS evening! 😉

Mamma Needed That!

Good evening!

I had a pretty rough day today, and it just seemed to get worse when I got home – HOWEVER!!! I just finished watching one of Craig Ferguson’s comedy shows, and I

LAUGHED MY HEINIE OFF!!!

I REALLY NEEDED THAT!!

Laughter really is the best medicine, isn’t it??

Well, tonight is Chunky Dunker’s night, and I have to admit that this week I have been doing pretty well, foodwise, and have lost about 7 1/2 pounds total!! YEAH!! That is pretty impressive when I think that I have been steadily going up every week instead of going down, and NOW my body decides to cooperate! That is alright, better late then never!!!

My sister Trina is coming up from Roseburg tomorrow to stay with us for the weekend! That will be a lot of fun! I am taking Friday off of work so that we can go spend the day together over at the coast! I CAN’T WAIT!!! I just know we are going to have a lot of fun, and don’t worry I will make sure to take lots of pictures to share!!! 😉 I am going to miss her whole first evening in town, because I am working and have my dance class tomorrow night, but I know it will just give Trina and Jason time to spend some quality time together!!!

Have I told you that my sweetie has been sick?? He has been coughing like a fiend and is really congested in the chest – it almost sounds like bronchitis!! Not fun!! I am happy to report that he is feeling better today, he practically slept the past two days away!! So, to see him up and moving around, albeit slowly, is still encouraging!! He is DETERMINED to be better by the time Trina gets up here tomorrow!! One way or the other, the weekend is going to be a blast!!!

Alrighty, I am going to wrap this bad boy up this evening!! I am meeting some of my fellow Chunky Dunkers in the comments section of this post this evening!! So, I had better get to it!

Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉

A Day of Visitors!

Good evening!

I am still under the weather today, but I am determined to snap out of it and get my booty to work tomorrow!

As for who all of these visitors are? Well, early this afternoon my dad and his wife Trudi stopped by for a visit, as they were headed up to Portland, and then on to Seattle. My dad has prostate cancer, and will be getting his radiation treatment up in Seattle. Not the best way to get some vacation time, that is for sure!! But, I was thankful that they stopped for a few hours so we could catch up!! I am hoping he is feeling up to stopping back by as they head home on Friday!

This evening, I am waiting for my husband, my sister, Alice, and Taylynn to get here. Alice and Taylynn will be spending the night and then they will be on their way home tomorrow morning. I hear Taylynn is very talkative, which I just love!! I think 7 year olds should be talkative, it shows inquisitiveness, and that is the perfect age to be curious about EVERYTHING!! I am pretty sure I was!!! 😉

Anyway, things should be mostly back to “normal” by tomorrow – whatever that means!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!!! 😉

Note to Chunky Dunkers: Do just one healthy action more than you did yesterday, the accumulation of days will soon ad up, and before you know it you will be feeling fitter and healthier than you have in a long time!
