What I'm Loving Now

1. The sky doesn't get dark til 6:30. And starting next Sunday, it won't be dark until 7:30. WooHoo DST!

2. The pants I'm wearing today - they just fit so well and are so comfy! I bought 2 pair - one khaki and one grey. Love them!

3. The Hills starts up again on March 24

4. Love Song by Sara Bareilles and Same Mistake by James Blunt and I'll Be Waiting by Lenny Kravitz and Don't Stop the Music by Rhianna

Europe 2007

I WILL get the rest of my trip posted - what a slug I've been. I'm like a reptile or something - I sssllloooooooowwwwwwwwwww way down in the fall and don't start to come back to life til March or April.

BTW, I love reading what I have written - what a fabulous trip I had! Have I mentioned that I LOVE to travel??!!!

Some New Blogs I Love

Brook's Blog

A Map for Saturday's creator/star, Brook Silva-Brag, is off a new adventure - travelling with the boys from The World by Road by car through Africa. Wow. Amazing, yet very scary with all the political turmoil. I really admire them and can't wait to see the final product.

Political Bitches

You go girls! These young women are taking a stand and fighting back and not believing everything that the American press regurgitates over and over again. It's so awesome to see young people (ugghh - does that make me sound old or what?) take an interest in where our country is heading. And man have we been heading in THE TOTALLY WRONG DIRECTION for the past 8 years (in case you were wondering where I stand).

London Daily Photo

Pretty much the title explains it all...

Cheltenham Daily Photo

Again, the tittle says it all...

Paris Daily Photo

Self explanatory again

A game I found and love - Know Your World?

Where I've Been

OK - really not that earth shattering - and actually it's kind of embarassing, but I haven't signed into blogger for 3 mos. because I have my i-google set up just the way I like it and when I sign into blogger, it changes and then I have to figure out how to get it back. Yah - that's really it - dumb! But I love my i-google! I have my news stuff, my daily puppy, my Einstein quote, the moon phases, daily quotes and best of all - world webcam and Eiffel Tower webcam, and the world sunlight map - I am loving watching how this changes with the changing of the seasons! Yep - I'm a nerd!

So, as long as I'm here ( and why am I here anyway? I just watched A Map for Saturday and had to post on the filmaker's blog and had to sign in), here's what's up:

1. SIL is in Omaha continuing with her physical rehabilitation after her aneurysm - doing better, but her longterm prognosis will include some significant disabilities

2. Hubby has been with SIL for more than 10 out of the last 12 weeks, either in Reno or now Omaha, being a great brother and really being the rock in his family - good for him!

3. Kami still limps sometime cuz of her shoulder injury last summer and I'm contemplating if I should take her in or maybe it just needs more time?

4. I might survive winter - it's finally March - thank goodness!

5. Did I call The Amazing Race or what? Yah - I rule! Actually, by the end I wanted Don and Nicolas to win. A great race. I still wanna do it - any takers?!

6. Still working and finally got my building to see the light - more Med A's = more revenue = keeps us busier = we both get to stay and work FT at the building (not that my job was at risk, but it means that I if only I could find someone to take the management position at the other building, I'd have enough to do at my building). We are doing 12 short-term rehab suites compleste with flat screens, recliners, etc - yay! We may even be looking at a new addition that will include a new therapy department. YAY!

7. Haven't moved my ass all winter long and it looks like it - ugghhh! I hate winter - why do I still live in MN???

8. Current Favorites:

TV - The Biggest Loser, America's Next Top Model and Free Radio. I've also been watching Survivor and Supernanny cuz there's nothing on and why try to do anything than watch tv during the long, cold evenings at home alone?!! (I need spring!) I caught the premiere of Living with the Mek on the Travel Channel, but they moved it to 9:00 p.m. on Sunday nights and I need to start getting ready for bed early on Sunday nights to prepare for the week ahead, so I haven't stayed up on that. I've found 2 Scooby Doo shows on from 5-6 p.m., so that's filling my dinner hour instead of re-re-re-watching M*A*S*H* (don't get me wrong, I love it, just needed a break). Just got done with A Map For Saturday - it's a link on the main page and well worth watching - it brought back all those wanderlust feelings - I LOVE to travel...

Music - Quite a few new songs, but can't currently think of the names of said songs - I'll get back to this!

Movies - really liked Juno (didn't care for the soundtrack that much, but the movie was great). Saw National Treasure II - good, but not quite as good as the first. These were both way back in January - I really haven't gone to see anything since. I want to see The Bucket List, hmmmm... what else is out there? I just watched Rumor Has It tonight - great movie, loved it and probably one I need to own. I love Jennifer Anniston!

Books - I just finished Valerie Bertinelli's book - Losing It...And Gaining My Life Back One Pound At a Time - highly recommend it. While I'm not a celebrity, I can identify so much with what she's written. I have A New Earth scheduled next cuz I was thinking of doing Oprah's online class - we'll see if that gets done. I also have eat, pray, love waiting in the wings, a ton of magazines and a ton of re-reads that need to be done. Oh yah, I just did some re-reads on The Cat Who... books I have (sold the majoruty at a gargae sale a few years ago) and read the new one (easy, light reading there).

Online - London, Paris and Cheltenham Daily Photo blogs, The Amazing Race site, Go Fug Yourself, The Leaky Cauldron, MuggleNet, London Underground Blogger, jpfitness Forum, soap pirate blog. I make the rounds on these daily.

Sooooo.........that's it in a nutshell! I'll try to be back sooner than the 3 month mark!

Sad News...

my SIL had a brain aneurysm this week and wasn't found until ~24-36 hours after it occurred. She had surgery Thursday evening and is breathing on her own, but the doctors don't think that she will ever be able to speak or walk again. She is an artist and the aneurysm affected her dominant side and that is sad because she is very gifted. Only time will tell, so please say a prayer or send a good vibration or something for Jean.
