Saturday Fun

This morning a couple of the Betties and I packed up our knitting and headed up to Vero Beach to see the Yarn Harlot! She spoke for awhile (had us all rolling), signed our books and beared with us through all our photo requests. She is absolutely hilarious and totally made of awesome.

She's holding my sock! (That has to be good for my knitting mojo!!)

After the book signing we popped over to Toojay's eat and chit chat. Good food, great company - wonderful day :)

Key West Mini Vacation

Ever since Don and I got the new RV we've been itching to take it somewhere, so we planned a little mini vacation down in the Keys!

On our way down we got to watch the sunset in the Gulf


We stayed at the KOA on Sugarloaf Key (MM20)


Home Sweet RV!



We took the bus down to Key West ($3 each!) and rented an electrical car to cruise around Key West in - it was a riot!


Some sites around Key West


We watched an amazing sunset


On our final day we planned a day of snorkeling in Looe Key - it was AMAZING!! If you ever have the chance to play in the Keys I highly recommend doing this. I cannot say enough about how much fun this was and just how beautiful it was.


Don tracked our entire trip via GPS, once we get that uploaded I'll post a link to it. We enjoyed our selves so much we've already planned another trip down there for September - I can't wait!!

PS.. I can't believe it, but I actually didn't get ANY knitting done while I was there - I guess I was just having too much fun!

Happy Earth Hour 2009!

Lights OFF!!



Candles, lit! (House smells good!!)

Creepy, yet intriguing!

St. Augustine Vacation

We took our first vacation this year in our Nation's Oldest City, St. Augustine, FL. We stayed for almost a week and got most of the sites in - everyday was jammed packed with site seeing and tours - not to mention ghosts :D

Where we stayed - supposedly haunted (I totally thought so, Don - not so much)...right across from the bay, it was beautiful!


My favorite site in St. Augustine was by far the lighthouse. We even got to visit it at night during a haunted tour of the city on Friday the 13th!


Touring the city: Forts, museums, gravesites, oh my!

We finished up our vacation on Saturday, with a Valentine's Day sail of the Bay - le sigh :) We had an amazing time, I absolutely LOVE this city!

Wow, This Sounds Familiar...

Not so much at work, but definitely in toilets. I have a bad habit of keeping my phone in my back pocket - you can figure out the rest.

First time I did this was when I was on one of my first dates with DH. We were club hopping in Downtown Ft. Lauderdale, I was a little too tipsy and dropped it in the club toilet (ew). I think he was both amazed and amused. He fixed it though..LOL..if only he knew that that was a sign of times to come..LOL!

I also got it stuck in one the toilets of a million dollar yacht I was working on - thank God I was friends with the maintenance guy or I would've been in so much trouble. There was no saving the phone that time, we got it out, but in pieces. You'd think I'd have learned my lesson!!

It's nice to see that I'm not the only one who has done this. But like DH says, "Just because you're not the only one doesn't mean you're normal!" ;)

My Favorite Place

I love traveling and getting to do so for work is an absolute bonus. No matter where I go, how much fun I have, I can never get over the feeling of being home. It brings new meaning to the 'comforts of home'. My husband, my pug, my bed - ahhhh. I love being home.
