Hi Ange!!!!

Farmingdale? Gold chains and polyester shirts? Hey, that was me. You didn't like my style? It wasn't a camaro, it was an I-Roc-Z

I thought about suggesting Long Island, especially since I'll be away on vacation then. I thought better of it since I might come home and find the honeymoon couple raiding my honey. :willy_nilly:

The Hamptons are nice, but you wouldn't want to go there in the summer. North Fork is great, as is Shelter Island. Fire Island has a lot of jokes about it, but that is one of the most relaxing places I know.
 
when he started singing along to Air Supply - I had to excuse myself :) that's a visual I just didn't need :)

The area of Long Island -near where you can get the ferry to Connecticut... with all the wineries is absolutely lovely... and fire island is wonderful...
 
That's the North Fork. Absolutely wonderful. I have friends that have a place there that they rent out. Walking distance from three wineries. When it's not rented out we go there for barbecues and parties and such. Fortunately it's still a pretty down to earth part of the island. Some really good wine there, too.

We did Ireland and Scotland, last year. What a great time. My wife wants a "real" vacation one of these days, so I'm thinking that perhaps a cruise would be nice some time in the fall. We'll see.

A "real" vacation? Lol, I'd LOVE to go to Ireland! :) Next time just tell her she is staying home and you can take me. :p

Miss you, too, chica. Trying my best to keep these guys (and a couple of gals) in line. Not sure if I'm successful, though . . .

I got burned by the pool last weekend. My entire family got the dark-skinned Cherokee traits so they can tan in the dark. Me? Well, I am very Irish . . . lol.

Well, if you have no passport, what about Key West?

Key West sounds nice. I have always dreamed of something tropical, though. Jamaica seems like a good place to start. :D

Oh, it was great, but a vacation with me is no picnic. :willy_nilly: I'm traipsing across the country in a zig-zag seeing every sight like a twister. Giants Causeway, Ring of Kerry, Newgrange, Temple Bar, Sligo, Bushmills, Galway, Edinburgh Castle. All in 8 days including transportation. Just missed the Cliffs of Moher because the ferry didn't run early enough, so we did Bunratty Castle instead. Very little sleep and very little relaxation, but a whole lot of fun.

All that sounds really cool. I so have to go over there! Perhaps on our one year anniversary . . . assuming he survives me that long. :reddevil:
 
TGIF!!! This has been a looong week, made even longer by the fact that last weekend really sucked. I hate having a bad weekend because the following week just drags by. :D I weighed myself last night (after dinner no less) and the scale showed 221. I don't know what that was about, but it gave me motivation to get through this weekend. It was probably a fluke but it was a welcome fluke and I'll take it. My official weigh-in is Monday so we'll see what happens by then. I am 2 lbs above where I am supposed to be right now so I need to buckle down this weekend and get some serious activity in.

I'll be around this weekend but probably not in my journal, so I'll go ahead and post this now:

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO MATT, TROPS, AND ALL THE OTHER GREAT DADS OUT THERE!! (Even Brian because he is a dad-in-training. :D) :seeya:
 
Wednesday, 8:30 a.m.

I've not been writing in my journal much lately. I'm trying to get as much billable time in as I can before I take off. I'd rather be ahead than have to catch up on my return. I hate playing catch up. The plans are marching right along. We finally have the guest list down to a manageable number, we picked our hors d'oeuvres, the invites have been stuffed, addressed, and stamped, I've made the bouquets and centerpieces, and all my vendors except one have been paid. I think the only thing left is to get the dresses altered. Oh, I do have to get some jewelry for my girls. I'm looking for a couple of Celtic knot pendants for them to wear (off to eBay!) Overall, I'd say we've done well. I can sit back and relax now. Enjoy the summer a little. Concentrate on my weight loss.

I want to lose as much as I possibly can between now and our trip because I know I'm not going to behave while we are away. I already know this. All that Jamaican food, yummy tropical drinks . . . I will keep it to a minimum, but I refuse to feel guilty when I indulge a little here and there. When am I ever going to go back there? Maybe never. I'll enjoy it while I am there. However, I have promised myself that I will visit the resort's gym (they actually have a very nice one) first thing every single morning. Then there will be the walks on the beach and shopping, etc. Maybe I can minimize the damage.

Lately I've stepped up my exercise. Mike has been joining me at the gym, which helps a lot. Even if he is off doing his thing while I do mine, just knowing he is there keeps me motivated to go. I had a really great workout yesterday and I'm a bit sore today. But it's a good sore. I'll take that. My youngest girl will be heading to Georgia the week of June 30 (I'm gonna miss her terribly!) so I will use my time wisely and stay longer at the gym each session. My oldest girl likes to join me so there won't be a problem there.

All in all, things are coming together and I feel pretty darn good right now.

Hope ya'll have a great Wednesday! :)
 
Nice to hear, Angela. It's looking like it is shaping up to be a great summer. By the way, I love the new tag line. The best is yet to come. :auto:
 
Wow, it sounds so charmed... Jamaica, my dream!

I wish you light, love and happiness on your journey... go create some unforgettable memories!
