I need to unpack and get ready for work tomorrow so I'll write more about it this week and share some pictures with you. We absolutely had a great time.
Why is it that when you're having so much fun, the time flies by so darn fast!?

Home Safe and Sound
I'm definitely not as young as I used to be because I'm one tired girl! I'm not used to keeping those late night Vegas hours!
I need to unpack and get ready for work tomorrow so I'll write more about it this week and share some pictures with you. We absolutely had a great time.

It's Friday
And I'm nosy...
So here's the question: Have you ever been to Las Vegas?
I'm heading there today for a girls weekend. I'm not a big gambler and definitely not a drinker but my sisters and I are taking my daughter there for spring break. She turned 21 in August so she can at least play a little slots if she wants to. Saturday night we'd like to see a show so we'll see what shows are playing when we get there. Believe it or not, my sister saw Donny and Marie when she was there recently and said it was the best show she'd ever seen.
Also, my longtime best friend Deanna will be there on Saturday so it should be a wonderful weekend. Hopefully I'll have some great pictures to share.
A few of you asked if I had a picture of my friend's daughter Courtney. I'd love for you to see just how gorgeous she is so I'll look for the YouTube video she is featured in. I'll post a link next week.
Take care and have a great weekend!

Tonight's The Big Night!
Will you be watching the Academy Awards on TV tonight?
I used to get so excited for Academy Awards night and would watch the show from start to finish. I'd stop and get dinner on my way home from work, then I'd plant myself in front of the TV for the night. I didn't want to miss one single minute of it. Over the last 5-10 years however, I've only seen bits and pieces of it, if any at all. Since we don't go to the movies often, it seems like a waste of time to watch the awards when I haven't even seen any of the movies. Tonight will be different though. I'll be watching with anticipation, because...
1) I saw Blindside and Julie and Julia. I loved them both!
2) I'll have a connection to the show!
My friend Melanie at work told me on Thursday that her daughter Courtney auditioned and was picked to be one of the girls handing the Oscar to the winner tonight. She'll be one of those beautiful young ladies that brings out the Oscar and then helps escort the winners and presenters off the stage. Although Courtney has Paris runway modeling experience, she's nervous but very excited. Can you just imagine how many stars she'll be seeing face to face tonight!
I told Melanie it's no wonder her daughter was picked because she's tall, slender, and beautiful. Melanie said yes, but so was everyone else that auditioned! I'm so proud of our local, hometown girl and will be watching and rooting for her tonight. Not everyone can put something like this on their resume!
I can't wait to see Melanie at work on Tuesday. I'm hoping Courtney will have some juicy, star-studded stories to share!
By the way, Courtney will be the one wearing the yellow dress.

It's Friday
And I'm nosy...
So here's the question: Do you have an organized plan or schedule with regards to housekeeping? Do you do certain chores on certain days or are you a willy nilly type of homemaker? Are you somewhere in between?
Me, I'm more of the willy nilly type now. I clean something everyday but I have no plan or schedule. I clean certain things when the mood strikes.
When my kids were small, Monday's were always laundry days, and my trip to Target day. My husband would go to work, I'd drop off the kids at school, and I'd head to Target. It was a new week, a fresh start, and I was more motivated back then. Ok, maybe motivated isn't the right word, I was more obsessed about cleaning back then. I usually came home from Target with cleaning supplies or fun little decorative goodies which got me in the mood to nest and clean.
I think I need to start going to Target on Mondays again!
If you have a cleaning plan that works for you or if you have any helpful organizational hints regarding housework, please share.

It Didn't Hurt Before...
I've been doing pretty well with my ankle and have even started going back to the gym. I'm not up to speed on the treadmill yet but things are slowly getting back to normal.
At my appointment with the orthopedist a month ago, he mentioned that I didn't have to keep my final appointment last week if I felt I was doing ok. We said our good-byes but I knew I'd be keeping the appointment regardless. I've always felt that before it was all said and done, I would be needing a prescription for physical therapy. I'm able to walk ok but I've noticed that my ankle is stiff, especially first thing in the morning. I also don't have the flexibility at the ankle that I once had.
I kept my appointment on Thursday and the doctor agreed to send me to physical therapy 3 times a week for 3 weeks. Yesterday was my first PT session and all I can say is, if my ankle didn't hurt before I went in (and it didn't), it sure hurts now. They really worked it. The therapist agreed that I don't have near the amount of flexibility as my other ankle does. He said it's not just a little stiff, it's ALOT stiff. I'm functioning at about 75% now but I'm sure by the end of the 3 weeks I'll be at least in the 90th percentile and functioning normal again.
The therapist and his wife (also a PT) own the facility and they are as nice as can be, very personable people. I found out Sunday that my sister and my BIL both did therapy at this place also and they wanted me to say "hi" to everyone. The therapists remembered them well, especially my sister. It's not everyday that they get to treat someone who falls out of an attic. Oh.yes.she.did! Just over a year ago, my sister fell over 10 feet, out of her attic, onto a concrete floor in her garage. Believe me when I say she was in bad shape. She's recovered fully but I don't think she's been up in her attic since!
My next session is tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Thank You!
Two sweet blogging buddies passed this on to me recently and I want to say thank you for sending this my way. Thank you Janiece and Lou Ann!
With this award, I'm supposed to list 7 interesting things about myself. Well, I don't know about the interesting part, but here goes:
1) I have a sister who always dreamed of becoming a mother. I never gave it much thought, yet I'm the one who became a mom. Both of my sisters never had any children.
2) I've broken 2 bones in my life. Both involved little dogs.
3) I always wanted to become a teacher but ended up becoming a nurse. Funny thing is, I "teach" everyday as a nurse.
4) I don't advertise it, but I'm pretty much a vegetarian.
5) I've worked at my job 7 years and have never been late once (now that I've typed this, I'll probably jinx myself!)
6) I graduated mid-term my senior year. Although I never went to summer school, I had enough credits to graduate early.
7) I enjoy reading and love books. I have books all over the house but mainly keep them stored in a bookcase upstairs. They are in alphabetical order by author. Can you say OCD!
If you haven't received the Beautiful Blogger Award yet, please take it from me as a thank you for stopping by. I always always appreciate your visits, your comments, and especially your friendship, thank you!
Please take a few minutes and stop by Janiece's and Lou Ann's blog to say hello. You can visit Janiece here and Lou Ann here.
