2011

2011-11-07T16:11:00.000-08:00

Is this not a beautiful place!!! One day - we hope to make it here :)))))
This year- has been a interesting year for our family- sometimes you wonder whats around the corner- for us- its been a tad stressful- I usually dont post- about this kind of thing- but I thought I would do something a bit different----- We had planned to move to London- possibly for 3 years!!! wow- yes Hubby's job- he had applied for among many others--- in the end - we remained here- knowing the possibilty- we prepared ourselves for this in the end. It was fun hoping- wishing-- selling our cars- put micro chips in our cats for entry into the UK. I would of loved to move away---- sometimes the routine- can be too much- I have always been one for travel- so I was all ready! Anyway everything for a reason.... just thought I would share :)

Over the last 3 to 4 years I have been on the contest ball! I enjoy it- and it makes my day when someone says Congrats heres your prize! :)

From clipping coupons to entering sweepstakes isn’t too long of a leap, which is why TLC is now taking up the subject of extreme contesters in a new reality special.

“Contesters” are people who love to enter sweepstakes – and you can be sure that the contesters you’ll see in this new one-hour show – titled “High Stakes Sweepers” – will be just about the most extreme sweepstakes enthusiasts you’ll ever meet. TLC announced the new project on Wednesday. Filming just started on the special, which TLC expects to premiere some time this summer

This is showing Aug 18th- at 7pm? or 8? its a repeat of last night- Hubby and I watched :)

Latest Win

We had delicious coconut ice cream too that day- also we went to the Seinfeld resturant- it was "ok" coffee was not bad!!! We had delicious Lobster soup from the soup nazi on the tour!!! ok the best ever!

Then we - us adults went to David Letterman- what a treat! It was amazing- we were 2 rows from the front! Drew Barrymore was on- we didn't like her too much- talking about carrying her dogs ashes to some country and spreading them around???? weird! Katy Perry was awesome! Her voice is beautiful! It was a nice clean- concert! lol. Loved it!

Warning: many posts to come! I have been way behind...... :(

This was so eye opening about one of the beatles- and the struggles he faced as a teen. I highly recommend.. Hubby and I saw it Sat night :)

Its amazing how- is fate was sealed in Nyc- and how his own Mom left him. * see movie to find out*

Day 3...

2010-09-20T16:36:00.000-07:00

oh the jet lag- carried on but hey! We were gone by 11am! lol. We decided today we would go to the World Trade Center Memorial= oh the sadness. Being there was so unreal- seeing on the people on the wall- sad music playing. Saw an actual firemans's outfit- in the case. And a fork and spoon- destroyed by the impact of the planes crashing. Also a part of the wing. So sad. Im so glad we saw what the NYC people went through, it lingers on..... :( Shopped a bit after- Macy's was great! Didnt buy anything- but normal prices= like the Bay here? I mean sweaters $30 - its not as people see on tv! Or scary at all! Loved the Subway had a pass.
Then we out for a nice dinner- I forget what I had? potato skins? I had a yummy Blue Hawaiian drink too! It was another wonderful day in New York City! We really felt like we lived there!
Also saw a cute boy in the subway playing his music! too cute!

Day 2

2010-09-07T16:18:00.000-07:00

We woke up at 12 noon! Cuz of the time diff!!! Ahhh- off we went - decided to go to Brooklyn today- very rainy day! I took a sweet misty pic of the Empire State Building!
We shopped and walked! Decided we were starved! So we found- the best Mac & Cheese place! Heaven! I had the Mac-n-Cheese for the "upper crust". Creamy Brie, roasted figs, roasted shiitake mushrooms & fresh rosemary. It's addictive! Oh my! Hubby had an East Indian dish- the boys- a hamburger one & bbq chicken! Wow Mac and Cheese will never be the same! After that we headed home about 10:30! Long fun day!!!!!!

The heart pic is cool! Was when you looked out of the resturant! sweet!

NEW YORK 2010!!!

2010-09-05T14:17:00.001-07:00

Oh my! Was the most coolest place ever! New Fave spots! Vegas & New York! lol. I usually either like a place or simply not. Eg- Would not go back to San Fran. It was ok.

Day 1- we flew out on American airlines @ 8am- smooth ride! NYC is 3 hrs ahead- im still adjusting. The first 4 or 5 days we woke up at 12- 12:30- which is 9- 9:30 am here! Ugh! It was terrble!
Otherwise when you first arrive- its like wow! We headed to our rented condo- then off to the subway to Times Sq which was about 8 min by subway!
1st we went to the Manhattan diner for din din! It was soooo sweet finally being there! We never felt unsafe once! Already planning to go back in Spring 2011? for a few days...... then maybe a cruise out!

Happy 2 years!!!!!!

Where has the time gone!? Wow!!! Hubby & I celebrated our anniversary- on August 8! We decided on a last min 3 days to the Oregon coast! It was excellent!!!!!! Its always nice to head out somewhere! I told one of the places we were celebrating- in the little e-mail form- and they put some lovely rose petals on our bed - very cute touch! We went to see a murder/mystery place one night at the Cannon beach play house- then the next night we saw "SALT" with Angie J-lee. We loved it!!!! and before we went to this fun resturant- where people were eating peanuts and throwing the shells all over the floor!!!! We had the most delicious Crab sliders!!!!! oh my!
then I had fish tacos- never had before! yum! hubby had bbq halibut! It was all soooo yummy! We had such a nice time- We are more inlove than ever! I love it!
