‘The Perfect Getaway’
Watched this movie tonight. Anything with Timothy Olyphant is ok in my book. He is a cutie pie and easy on the eyes.
It’s also a good movie with a great plot and nice twists and turns. The scenery is breathtaking. My problem is it also makes me sad. I watch these movies and want so much to do things like this. [not the murders etc… lol] I want to travel and go into the Kauai mountains, take pictures, swim in the lagoons. Not going to happen for me. It can get depressing sometimes to see people doing the things I would so do if I was able. Luckily, I get over it in time or I’d be a complete basket case. Sometimes it just really sucks. I guess unless you live it you cannot understand it, but I’m sure you get the point! Ok, face it, I want to be my 6′ tall again, skinny, cute and on Kauai with Timothy Olyphant. There, you have it!! rofl
Ah, the pointless blogs, gotta love em!!
Outstanding!

A Juicer day..
We played with our new Breville Juicer today. We made a drink using 5 small oranges, 1 mango, 1/2 cantaloupe, and 3 tblsp of greek yogurt. We got 4 glasses, good size out of it. It was yummy. Even the kids liked it. We got ours at Bed, Bath and Beyond using one of my many 20% off coupons. I love that store. Thanks again to my sm Cheryl!!
Clean up is a breeze. Even I can do it!! lol

The Parental units…
My dad and sm Cheryl came down yesterday as a stop over before heading to my sister Kim’s lake resort, 20 Oaks Cottages . They brought their lil puppy, Reilly, and he and Dexter had a blast. [they always do]
And here’s a lil video of their love!! lol

I’m so excited as I got my juicer, A Breville.
Roger and Cheryl went to Trader Joe’s and then to Bed Bath and Beyond. Cheryl got this for us. How cool is that. I have a gr8 step-parental unit. We can’t wait to make fresh, healthy juices. No more store bought preservatives for us. YAY!!
They left this morning, and now my Dexter baby is crushed. He keeps going to the front window and door and cries for Reilly. It’s so pathetic. 😛 My poor baby. He doesn’t even want to go outside with his ‘sister’ and ‘brother’ doggies. Oh well, he’ll get over it eventually. 😉
Now we are getting the above ground pool [15 footer] all ready for the summer. Today will be a long day. Get the pool going, Sam’s Club, pool supply store, and get some cooking done. I can’t wait. Keeping busy is helping me tons. I will not over do it though, as I want to keep this feeling for a long time. I’m out!
Blessings and Hope!
Weird day…
Ever have those days where you feel like your living it in another body? And, not in a bad way.
Ruby and I did our show on blog talk radio today, The Padded Room. It was a great time with our guest Linni. Today was part one, and next Thursday we will be doing part 2 with Linni. She has overcome addiction, abuse, and now faces a new chapter in her life, Diabetes. You can hear the archives of today’s show here.
After the show, I did my pedaler, watched a couple more Criminal Minds I had DVR’d, and then got in the shower.
I was planning on hanging out and playing Nintendo with dd#3, then an iCal alarm on my MAC went off. It was time for Amy Harden’s Show, Postcards from OZ, on the rlrn blog talk radio. I got in the chat room and Amy mentioned she was on her own today, no co-host. I told her if she needed me, I’d log in and co-host. It was not something I had planned on doing, but I’m so glad I did. The topic was:
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Keeping a Positive Mindset through Holistic Living with Sandy Guerriere.
It was a great show, and Sandy and me have a lot of the same mindset when it comes to foods and what we put in our bodies in regards to our health. If you get a chance, listen to the archives here. We all had a great time. Thanks to Amy for letting me co-host.
It was all so surreal though. It was like it was me doing all of this today, but yet it was not. Not sure that makes much sense to anyone but me. lol
We just had tostadas for dinner, hubby made, and then I got back on the computer and it was an all freaky feeling kind of happening. lol Kind of like an out-of-body thing. But, again, not in a bad way. Kind of a cool feeling really. Maybe it is a feeling of accomplishment or something. I felt pretty useful today, which does not happen often. So, maybe that’s it…I don’t know, but there you have it!!
Now dd#3 and I will be watching some new DVR’d Criminal Minds, with our men Derek Morgan [Shemar Moore] and Dr. Spencer Reid [Matthew Gray Gubler]!!
Blessings and Hope!!
Cool Beans
For the second year in a row, my hubby and his co-workers have had fundraisers, bake sales, and did the MS Walk in support of moi. Next year I am going to design a cool logo for our team, Tracy’s MSKateers. I cannot even explain how I felt in 2009 when Roger told me his buddies from work were going to start doing my walk. Then, again in 2010. We are hoping to do this yearly. Maybe one day, I’ll be able to walk across the finish line when they find the cure! It could happen!!
Then, I find out tonight from my girl Ruby, that Shemar Moore’s mom has MS as well.
Shemar and some of his Criminal Minds co-stars have done the Bike for MS. I think I love him and the show even more now!! lol I’m sure that would just make their dayz!! 😛
Blessings and Hope!!
Out of sync…
All morning I kept looking at my clock waiting to get to BTR and get The Padded Room going. Then I realized it’s Wednesday not Thursday. I even marked off my calendar and looked right at it. Talk about a DUH moment!!
Think I did not get enough sleep last night from staying up until 1am watching DVR’ed Criminal Minds!! It’s become like crack to me, crack TV all the way. Shemar Moore is just so fiiiiine!!
OMG, think I need to get my pedaling done for the day…off to a late late start!! Tis all good!
Baby Steps ya know.
Blessings and Hope!
Easy Tuesday!
My #2 dd [darling daughter] has a friend over. My #1 ds [darling son] is on his computer and in and out of the house. My #3 dd is sitting in the room with me playing Mario Party 7 on the Wii. I did my 15 mins of my pedaler and my arm exercises. Then got in the shower [not an easy thing to do]. I cannot wait until I can finally get in and out of the shower easier. A friend of Roger’s is coming by sometime soon to price out working on our new accessible shower. It is going to be so cool to shower with ease and not have someone coming in constantly to check on me.
Mark your calendars for this Thursday, June 10th. The Padded Room: Unlocked and Unplugged, will be welcoming our fab friend Linni to the show. Ruby and I hope to see you there! It’s more fun in the padded room with friends!! mwaaahhhh
Hope y’all are having a terrific Tuesday!!
Blessings and Hope!
Hope Floats
On Saturday [yesterday] got my butt out of bed and got showered and got moving. Did my pedaler for 15 mins, while starting my book ‘T is for Trespass’, and then got Roger going so we could go together to Sam’s Club and Wally World. This used to be our ‘thing’ we did together every weekend up until a couple months ago. I stopped going. I would take my meds and veg out and send him on his own. Part of my new ‘me’ is to get back to the things I left behind. We always have fun together even if it is grocery shopping. I finally got him moving and went on our Saturday outing together again. It felt so good to get back to life.
Roger used to work out 3 times a week, and go MX riding on Sundays.
He stopped all that the same time I gave in to my MS. I should have seen the signs, but I was to caught up in my poor me, pour me a drink attitude. I’m hoping that now, he will get back to it. Our house was much more calm when we were both in our ‘right’ minds! 😛
Hope you all have a fabulous Sunday. I am off to ‘pedal’ for a bit!!
Blessings and Hope!!
