Weekly wrap-up



What a wonderful week I had!

 

My mom flew down from the snowy north last Sunday and stayed with us for the week.

After working 20 out of 22 days, I was so freaking ready very happy to have a few days off.

 

I only had to work on Monday, so she gladly grabbed her swimsuit and a book and chilled at the pool at the hotel I work at all day.

 

On Tuesday we trekked up to Daytona for a little beach action at the shores, where we used to visit my grandparents during their winter migration to the sunny south. The day brought back a lot of happy memories for us both and we felt like we had come full circle. We had lunch at Crabby Joes on the pier (an old favorite), and dinner where else but DJ's Deck down under. Same place Ray and I go all the time for some fresh catch and hushpuppies. It was the perfect beach day :)

On Wednesday we shopped the outlets all day then went to Cirque Du Soleil. Have you ever been to one of those shows? All I can say is WOW- it was absolutely amazing to see what those people can do! The stage itself was impressive, different parts were always moving and changing. If you ever get the chance, go! They wouldn't allow for pictures or videos during the show so this is the only photo I have. Mom and I before the show :)

 



 

Thursday morning Momma came with me to get my hair did- with so few days off I had to squeeze it in where I could! I'm a blonde again. It really is more fun :) That evening she, Ray, and I joined my BFF Lauren and her daughter Jackie to see Oz: The Great and Powerful. Shameless plug: this movie is nothing short of incredible. Ray and I have now seen it twice, and I'd go again if the damn IMAX tickets weren't so expensive! But it is so worth it- the story is great, the casting was spot on and the effects are amazing! That was the first time I have seen a 3D movie and actually felt like I was there. Just awesome.

 

After Ma flew out on Friday morning, I spent all weekend at work. And I will be there all week... that is until Thursday when I leave the gorgeous Florida weather and head to the snowy north. Lauren is getting married and it is my job to shower her :) I could do without the snow but CANNOT wait to see all of my precious neices and nephews and get some QT with some family and friends. Life is good, God is great!

 

Also to update from my last post, I'm down 2.5 pounds. More to go but a great start! Feeling better already :)

 

TTFN :)
