Happy Mother's Day

Well, one day early....but I'm not going to be around tomorrow because my boys have surprised me with a day trip to IKEA. We're leaving in the morning and should be back by 10:00pm tomorrow night.

YIPPEE! I can buy my bookshelf and stainless steel planters that I've been wanting.

There goes the budget diet this month, but it will be less money spent next month when we go up to the Twin Cities on vacation, so it all comes out even in the end.

I've been researching activites to do next month and I think I've got some fun things planned that everyone will enjoy.

Today, I got up and went to the gym for a 45 minute cardio workout. As I've said before, I'm trying to go 10 minutes longer and 10% harder for the next few months and then I'll bump it up again.

On the iPod playlist today:
Listen to Your Heart - Little Feat
Calling All Angels - Train
Wide Open Spaces - Dixie Chicks
3 AM - Matchbox Twenty
Dear Mr. Fantasy - Tesla
Bring Me To Life - Evanescence
Falling Slowly - Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova
Salt In My Tears - Martin Briley
I Will - Ben Taylor
It's About You - Train
This Is How a Heart Breaks - Rob Thomas
Soak Up The Sun - Sheryl Crow


Just a heads up......run don't walk to your nearest grocery store, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, etc to pick up a package of this:

Nectarine and White Ginger

The scent is to die for.......

I've also started using this:


An excellent self tanner moisturizer that comes in mousse form. I like the way my skin feels after applying it.

Having my sister and the kids over tonight for Chicken Nachos. Right now, she is with Fred and Connor seeing the movie "Star Trek". I didn't go because I wanted to work out in the yard and get some more gardening done, besides I'm waiting for next weekend to go see "Angels and Demons" with Tom Hanks, based on one of my most favorite books EVAH!

I simply can't wait for Dan Brown's newest book coming this September called "The Lost Symbol". The publishers are keeping pretty mum about the subject matter other than the whole book takes place in 12 hours, but I heard it going to be located in Washington DC and has to do with the masons....??? I don't care whats it's about, I'm reading it as soon as it comes out....LOL

Well, I've got to go get a shower taken and get organized for our day trip tomorrow. Have a Happy Mother's Day!.....go give your mother's a hug...I wish I could, but I'm definitely going to remember her tomorrow.

Hi, Kristina. Envy you the trip to Ikea. Rich covered the opening of the one in Tampa last week. His tweets were hilarious. Check him out at twitter dot com slash dailydeadline

IKEA! Glad you had a fabulous time! I need to go back up there this summer too, and hope to have enough room to haul home at least a bookcase or two for the boys and/or front room.

I need to get on the Dan Brown waiting list at our library for his new book.

And I'm DEFINITELY buying some of that lotion the next time I go to Target. Never mind that I have about 6 other lotions already here at home; I like to rotate the scents just like I do with my shower gels:)
