Vote for Debra

Sorry for the long delay in posting. Busy, busy with the cruise planning. It is quickly approaching... aahhhhhhh!

My sister has entered a contest thru More magazine. If you could take the time to register and vote for her daily, she might buy you a subscription like she did me! Ha! It only requires a username and password, and you can opt out of receiving anything from them.



You can find her contest entry here.

Thanks! And, I'll let you know if she wins!

Countdown 27 Days

Despite the warmer weather we had this week,
it's not as warm as Costa Rica's 82 degrees.

I'm sure glad I watch Diego so I know what these little animals are.
In case you don't, it's a sloth.
Looking forward to a rainforest adventure.

Let the Countdown Begin

The high today is supposedly going to reach 18 degrees.

And, it is going to snow.

AGAIN!!

Guess what?

It's sunny and 86 degrees in Cartagena today.

37 days till we leave for our cruise.

It really can't come fast enough.

More pics of ports of call to come as the countdown continues...

Daddy Daughter Dance

Carlie's favorite day of the year arrived on Saturday.
It was the Y's annual Daddy Daughter Dance.
She had been talking about it for weeks and was very concerned leading up to the dance that Daddy was not sure what he was going to wear.
Luckily, he figured it out.

I made sure to pick up some flowers at Costco so he could give them to her.
And, now we don't have to spend outrageous prices on Valentine's Day.
(Not just a hat rack, people.)

I'm only a few weeks away from my own Daddy Daughter Dance.
The annual trek my Dad and I make to downtown St. Louis to see the Aces play their One and Done game in the MVC Basketball Tournament.
Every year we have high hopes, only to have them dashed (usually by halftime.)

I'm not concerned with what he is going to wear.
My main concern is what kind of food they will be serving at the pre-game Alumni Club gathering.
And, once again, when my Dad is embarrassed to be wearing his Aces sweatshirt after the game, he can throw on his Duke Basketball polo.

Send Me My Refund

TAXES = DONE

(Glad to have that out of the way)
