Traveling Heart Shaped Rock

No I did not forget you Heart Shaped Rock. Well yes I did forget you when I went to New River Beach on the 14th of August. I'm sorry, but the trip was a bit longer than I expected so you poor heart shaped Rock? you stayed home in your cute little bag sent from Patty in CT. oh she wrapped you up so nice. I'm going to be sending out to Tracy in the same bag. I can't mess with perfection.

The envelope you arrived in? had seen better days. I suspect that the custums peeps had a agreat time digging into the insulated bag? What were they expecting? I have to wonder. "oh look a rock?"
 probably for the cash and valuable prizes they thought were bound for Canada? Patty I do love my Cards. I LOVE the Font.

Well Rock I did promise to take you to my favourite places. This Rock is "my" favorite summertime location in NB. I didn't get you intime to take you to Cape Breton Island but that doesn't mean I couldn't take you to a Beach. I do love going out to the Beach in the Summer. As you know here in the Artic (HA! kidding) Tundra we have snow for about 6-8months at a time. (well almost)


So without more blah blah blah? here is The ROCK!

First we enjoyed some Sun and a good book. It's alone time here because the lifeguards? they are on duty. It's like "almost free" babysitting. YES I watchy my own kids out of the corner of my eye.  (pokes nose back in book)

 And there is sun protection, loving this Avon hat. Keeping the face young and healthy.

But then dear rock? I left you alone on the beach blanket in the sand with Hubbie and I went swimming. (dog paddling, I know I've got to get my head in the water)


So Rock This week you are going back into an package and heading to see Tracy. I do wonder what she will do with you?  Thanks Ann, over at AnnagainandAgain too  for Bringing the rocky goodness to the World.  I hope Rock you enjoyed your prolong Stay in NB.

I'm stylin!

Yes Karen said so. Karen over at "If I could escape..."

Well I know she must be stopping by and admiring my pre designed and "FREE" Lighthouse back ground? Or been watching me grow out of my clothes in the wrong direction. Yes that must be it. I've got some extra "curve" to me this summer. ACK!

So in accepting this award I am required to tell you 7 things about myself. Let me see, what do you not know yet?

1. I'm back on the weight loss wagon. Yesterday I took out my note book and I'm journalling my food intake. The kicker was lastnight after the boys were all in bed. Oh did I want to dig into a "treat". I didn't. I went and read a book.<- Again! note the Again.

2. I love taking the boys to the beach. It's the best part of the summer, they are happy to play in the sand and float in the waves and splash each other and no one says "MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM he hit me. Today it's pouring rain, so there are more MOM'S! 



3. I'm nervous for this coming school year. My boys are not learning to be patient, to budget, or to wait for anything. They want everything instantly and without any thought of how they will accomplish their goals. Sad but true.

4. If I could go back to the sleep, eat, burp, poop days of raising children? I'd totally do it. That is without adding to the current number of children of course.

5. I love a good sale, but I don't like the paying part.

6. I am addicted to those stupid Zygna games. Really they suck, their developers love to release things with bugs in them. They never ever work and they must hate Linux because they never work the way I want them to. Plug and play? HA!

7. I'm also addicted to reading blogs. It's like watching from the outside looking in. I'm sure that anyone that's read my comments on their blogs has figure that one out. So keep writing. :)
p.s. Karen finish the book. :P


So now I've got to give out this lovely award. I hate leaving anyone out so you are all Stylish but I'd like to point out a few others.

Go See Tania at Growing Towards a Dream. She's baking up some awesome at the moment.

Debbie over at Just Breathe. Styling? definitely.



Anissa of #FreeAnissa. Really so many have said it better than I can but really her Bowl Method needs special Mention.


As well As Rachael over at Tales from the Village? Another Stylin' Babe!

And of course tag yourselves too.

Happy Friday, tonight it's VGNO~

I do not have a pic of my visit with the heart shaped rock yet.

this keeps you all in the know...

I had to get my camera working first from the trip to the Island and then well I didn't GO anywhere. CRAP I thnk I just heard thunder. If it's not one noise it's another round her. 20minutes ago? it was neighbours setting off fire works? Really? Who needs fireworks in their back yard (surrounded by trees) in August?  Provincial (Banky holiday) was last week?

So tonight I'm sitting around having some drinky poos. Yeah It's Friday I had originally planned to get my but out the door and go to a Pschyic Fest. My partner in crime, didn't call back. So much for my girls night out, so here I sit, Rum and pepsi Max in hand playing on the laptop. The breeze is passing over the keys, the spell check is probably having a cow and I'm having some time with Captain Morgan. Nice Guy.

Snacks? What else, Canadian Ketchup Chips.... oops so much for the diet now. I was doing really well this week. I was watching myself like a hawk. I saw the "reunion pics" it's bad, so much for my 2yr plan (2yrs ago)

So tonight it's blog hopping. Go on get yourself some VGNO time.
I'm probably early since it seems my Ann is posting a la 1999?


So go to the side bar of her blog and grab a badge. Tell her you're coming to join. Happy Friday all. (yes I may have actually did the whole drinking while posting thing, ignore if necessary)


I wonder if the heart shape rock drinks? hhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm
