Back from Vaca
Back from Vaca and I'm done with Bing Crosby christmas songs and am back to Ipod, right now listening to Cinderella Gypsy Road. I have an 80's thing going on right now. Honeymoon Suite, Motley Crue and Cinderella. Mary, come back!
I had a terrific time with Mom. We spent christmas eve and day at the Waybury Inn in Middlebury and met friends of ours there. One couple from South Dakota and one couple from Oklahoma. I felt like a tourist in Vermont with them. They love our convience stores that look like general stores, oh, I do too, now that I realize it! They love the different variety of restaurants we have. What? Thats news to me, but, oh yeah, we do have some pretty awesome choices. They love our candy...yep, couldn't agree more. They love our maple syrup, I have to admit, I take that for granted! Fresh maple syrup whenever you want it. They love the view of the mountains at every turn, That for me never grows old, I love that too!
It's really fun to see Vermont through new eyes! I appreciate home more and more each year!
Happy New year,
Smiles

Beautiful Vermont Morning
It's Saturday Morning, my vacation has just begun and I am waking up to one of the many reasons I love Vermont, its beauty!
Dawn is about to peak, the trees are painted with thick fluffy snow, the sky in the back drop is grey and there's a sweet crisp fresh air smell creeping through my window.
It doesn't matter how long I've lived in Vermont, I will always appreciate the beauty of a vermont morning after a fresh snowfall!
I'm enjoying a freshly brewed cup of Green Mountain Spicy Eggnog coffee pondering on which winter sport I want to go out play today. At the same time feeling blessed that I have that choice. Snowshoe, cross country ski, snowboard, downhill ski? I'm feeling mellow, I may simply crosscountry ski today.
I hope if you're in vermont that you will have the chance to feel like a kid and go out and play in the snow today, even if its just to make a snowangel.

If I had my choice

Picture of me with my long long time friend
This is Mary Ann and me at my reunion. I've been friends with her since kindergarden. We've been through her Irish Step Dancing on stage in grade school to the two of us Irish Step dancing on the tables at Civic Pub in Hartford CT on after the St. Patricks day Parade in Hartford..... (does that place even exist anymore?)
As I get more pictures from my reunion, I'll share them with you.

Hot Rueben Sandwich fixes everything
After a night at the Pourhouse and a live Broadcast this morning from Cumberland Farms with the Morning Mess, I realized I've been living on Coffee and needed some food. Noon rolled around today and I was hungry. Cranky hungry. Hot Rueben Sandwich from Libbys diner with french fries did the trick!
I got a new pair of skis. They're cross country skis and now I am wishing the snow to hit the ground. I really wanted to learn to snowboard this winter, and I still may, but most of my friends cross country ski. And it's a great workout! Thats me, all about the workout! Good thing I have been working out with James aka "Lars" (nickname) from Body Resolution in South Burlington, because I'll need strong quads for skiing this year. And a strong core to pick my ass up off the ground after I've fallen from trying to ski.
Tomorrow I have a friend coming over to do a "Clean House' with me. Ever seen that show where these people come over and make you pick up your crap and sell it. They make you get rid of old furniture and trinkets that are sentimental and make people cry. Thats going to be me tomorrow with my friend Kim from Georgia. She's really good at organizing. I need help getting organized. Once I'm organized, I keep it that way. But I still have three outfits from 1985, I refuse to give away. They've become nastaligic in a sense. Well two outfits and a leather jacket, tapered at the waist with the wing sleeves....aurgh!
Think high scoring game Sunday with Patriots and Seattle!
Enjoy your weekend.

25th HS reunion
$77, full buffet, open bar and all I had was a glass of water! All I did was talk at my highschool reunion.
I really enjoyed meeting up with some old friends in hopes of staying in touch with them now that there's so many different venues to do so. Facebook, myspace, classmates and simply email! As a matter of fact, the reunion was register on Classmates and so lots of people signed up and them found each other on Facebook and started updating everyone on what's happening in their lives ie: family, jobs, where they live including pictures so when I got to the reunion it's like, there was nothing left to talk about. BUT...I have to say, there's nothing like that personal face to face contact....uhm, talking.
Everyone from the class of '83 from a small town in CT looked absolultly fabulous. Really, no one looked old and tired out. Everyone seems to be taking care of themselves. Guess the ones who aren't keeping in shape didn't come?...?
I was surprized at how many single guys and girls there were. Alot of 2nd marriages too. And I don't feel so bad, alot who have never been married and are just enjoying life like myself.
Some shared memories that I forgot about....guess its called selective memory, like peeing in the mens room at a concert. I thought it was VanHalen...nope, Heart! ( I didn't think that was a big deal, but it burned into someones memory)
Funny part was trying to remember everyones names. There were a few I couldn't remember. We had to wear our highschool pic with name pinned on our shirts and alot of times I would be talking to someone and have no idea who they were. Or, I just couldn't remember their name and I felt so bad, but I didn't want to get caught looking at their highschool picture pinned on them so the second they would look away I would quickly look at their pic to get their name. By the end of the night was I like, screw it ....who are you?
Hope you enjoyed the holidays and had plenty of food, family and friends to spend time with.
