A Boy and a Girl

I had the most amazing week last week.  On Monday, 02-13-2012, I got a call from my middle son saying they were going to the hospital to have their baby.  My husband and I headed east.  They live about three hours from us.  Wade was born the next day on Valentine's Day.

On Friday, 02-17-2012,  my youngest son called to say they were going to the hospital the next morning to have their baby. They only live about 1/2 hour away. Addison was born on 02-18-2012. 

A boy and a girl all in the same week. They were supposed to be three weeks apart but are only four days apart.  I hope they will be best friends for life.   It would be so special to have a cousin born that close together in age.

After going 10 years with one granddaughter, I now have three wonderful grandchildren and two wonderful step-grandchildren.  

Holiday Temptation

Here comes Valentine's Day and more temptation to eat too much and all the wrong things.  Why do people keep tempting me with unhealthy food?  Valentine's Day should be about your heart and keeping it healthy instead of eating all the wrong things such as steak, baked potatoes with butter and sour cream, desserts and candy.  Ask your better half to support your desire to eat healthy and take you for a walk or ice skating.  Treat him or her to a massage would be great. That's the best way to say "I Love You." 

Lost Blackberry

Have you ever lost your phone.  It is very frustrating.  Well, I lost mine yesterday.  I'm thinking where did I put that thing?  Did I lay it down in the refrigerator, throw it in the trash? I looked everywhere.  Retraced my steps.  You see, I was out of town in a motel.  the only place I'd been was in the lobby area to eat breakfast and the exercise room. 

Asked at the front desk. No phone.  They called the number and it went straight to voice mail.  Whoever had it had turned it off or it had gone dead.  But I thought it was fully charged so I really thought someone had found it and just turned it off and kept it.

Went back to the room, emptied everything out.  No phone.  Emailed my husband at his meeting.  He didn't have it.

Went downstairs to the fitness center again.  The staff was having a meeting right in the middle of the hallway and the manager asked if anyone found a blackberry.  Someone had.  She found it in the fitness center and had put it in her office.  I'm so happy it was found but why didn't she just turn it in to the front desk?  It would have saved me a lot of anxiety.

I promise I'm going to get back to my healthy living tips. Or maybe this is one! When you travel, use the fitness center. Thirty minutes on the elliptical machine is a great workout. Just make sure your cell phone is in a pocket where it won't fall out!
