So I've been blog-jumping, following links from one friend's blog to another, to another, to another, until I'm looking at blogs of people I don't know, and I was seeing this recurrent theme of "all about the kids." Rather than having my blog be entirely about the wonder-nephews, I'll try to spice it up for those of you who live vicariously through my adventures.

So my latest profound discovery about myself ... I hope you're all sitting down .... SHOES AREN'T MY GREATEST WEAKNESS!! Nope, I have come to realize that bags/purses/wristlets/?? are my greatest weakness! I really don't even want to add them all up and put the number out there but ... last week I went into the hospital gift shop for some candy and walked out with a purse instead!

Maybe I'll take some pictures of purses and post them :-)

Next trip, unless something else comes up before then ... Edmonton!

Hey there Janelle, fun that you found me in the blogging world. We used Rick Steves books mainly on our trip. He does such a great job, but we did find that he is becoming so popular that most of the hotels/pesions that he mentioned were full and the lines wern't as short as Im sure they once were. Anyway, we had a great time and Rick Steves rocks. Happy travels

Cayman Brac Dive day 1

We all made it safely to the island called Cayman Brac for the Dive Frendzee takeover! I have been delighted with everything since arriving! It is blissfully remote and I feel quite content to never leave the resort compound to venture anywhere else.  It is like we are at the end of the world in a wonderful day!  The food...oh my the food! (I have officially turned in my Mom)!  It is all buffet but GOOD buffet!  Rolls, soups, multiple salads, cheese board, multiple hot side dishes, and then two or three entries, one always carved with a sauce.  Last night was ham. Oh, and dessert! 3 different choices last night: coconut flan, carrot cake, and chocolate walnut pie. This place offers Valet style diving, so in the morning, we were to have our gear outside our door in bags they provide, and they pick everything Iup and take it over to the dive boats and they set everything up! Valet diving, Princess diving, whatever you want to call it.... I am loving it! After that, it was time for b

30 day sugar challenge

Image
Ok, my goal is to restrict myself to 6 tsp or 25 grams of sugar per day as recommended by health organizations who study these things.  I haven't tracked my eating for a while but a I am sure I am way over that! I watched a movie called Sugar Coated and it had inspired me, as well as all my friends giving up things for Lent.  Since I have a marathon on Sunday, I will not be able to be quite as strict on race day but will give this a whirl. I started by going through my cupboards and was stunned by all the things that contained sugar!! My vitamins, calcium, taco seasoning... it feels like I am down to salt, pepper, oil, and dish soap!! I need to research whether that 25 grams is added sugar, separate from the naturally occurring sugar in fruits, or it that is all forms of sugar. That would be much harder!!
