Day 1 at the Gym !!

Well I made it to the gym. First time in a year. I was a little nervous if I was going to feel winded, but I kept it real easy. I didn't overdue it and my heart gave me no problems. I am just going to take it slow and build some endurance. I feel great that I did it, now I just need to stick to it. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Countdown to Cabo....

This is it......I am totally committed starting today. For those of you that have read my blog in the past know I tried to start this program on January first and did not do too good. But I am tired of making excuses, tired of tight pants and holding in my tummy. So today I start fresh, NO more candy, No more junk food, NO more bad stuff!! My goal is to see how much weight I can lose before I leave for Mexico on April 6Th, 2009. I will keep you posted on my journey. This is really it, next time you see me, I am going to look different. I am going to make this happen. If you are with me on this journey great, if not, please don't tempt me. Do you sense my excitement? Do you believe I am going to do it this time? Watch out, Nothing is going to stop me now!!

Brady to be ready for season opener !!

According to the Boston Globe, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is on track to be ready for the 2009 season opener. Brady is working his way back from reconstructive surgery on his left knee, which was complicated by an infection. The quarterback reportedly is already dropping back and throwing passes, and has been able to "catch up" in his rehab.

Happy Chinese New Year!!

Wishing Miya and Sara a Happy Chinese New Year!!
It's the Year of the OX.

Obama retakes oath of office.

President Obama retook his oath of office Wednesday after Chief Justice John Roberts flubbed while delivering it at Tuesday's inauguration. "Out of an abundance of caution, because there was one word out of sequence, Chief Justice Roberts administered the oath a second time," White House counsel Greg Craig said in a written statement.

Just love this picture....

Yesterday was such an amazing day. I am so glad that I got to take part (even through the TV) in history. This picture is one of my favorite from yesterday's festivities. It's nice to have Royalty back in the White House. Thanks to my Mom for getting up at 8:45 am to watch it all happen before our own eyes!!

Obama to become 44th U.S. president.

Barack Obama was poised to make history on Tuesday as America's first black president, riding the optimism of millions of people into power and inheriting a recession and two wars that will test his skills. Obama, 47, the son of a Kenyan father and a white mother from Kansas, was set to take the oath of office at midday (12 p.m. EST) on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, his hand placed on a Bible used by Abraham Lincoln at his first inauguration in 1861.

Exit stage right......

Goodbye and Thank Goodness!!
Today was the last day for Bush in Office.
The Country is a buzz of what is to come
starting tomorrow.
We cannot wait!!

Just for the record.....

Just for the record, officially 6.4 inches of snow
fell during this storm today!

Yet again, another snowy day in Boston!!

How many more weeks of winter is there?
Hope you guys are having a warmer day!!

Miracle on the Hudson !!

Thankfully, this has a happy ending! And in BIG thanks to the cockpit crew and flight attendants, they are the heroes in this story. It's incidents like this that really makes a point when we are standing up there giving you the safety briefing why you should be paying attention to us. So put your papers and blackberry's down...they shouldn't be on anyway!!

How cold is it?

It's not this cold, but it sure feels like it.....brrrr!!

Be sure to bundle up.....

Temps will drop to the teens and single digits at night for the next few days. It's the coldest temps seen in years. It's the kind of cold that hurts when you go outside. It's a good thing I've got my tv shows to watch! :-)

Tonight American Idol kicks off its 8th season. With a new judge sitting at the table, Will Paula have a friend or a foe? Should be interesting!!

A Walk through Boston.......

This is the Freedom Trail

As I mentioned yesterday, Its no secret I love the snow. And Snow and the City make for some great shots. The weather was amazing today, in the 20's but blue sky and very sunny. I walked from the Southend of Boston to the Northend of Boston. These are some of my favorite pics of the 118 pictures I took. I love photography with a mission and I think I got some really nice photos. Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Jack is Back !!

The TV show 24 starts tonight. Are you excited? Of course I will be recording it too, just in case I have the urge to switch over to the Golden Globes!!

4th snowstorm in 4 weeks......

Well the storm has come and gone after dumping 5.7 inches of snow. Not quite what they forecasted. It is that snow that sticks to every branch so its real pretty, I am thinking about bundling up and going for a walk to take some pics. IF I brave the elements I will post the pics. Have a great day everyone!! Stay Warm!!

Get the shovels ready.....

This weekend is going to be a snowy one in New England. So far since December we have had 27 inches of snow. However the nice thing about the northeast is in between storms we'll have a day hit 60 degrees and melt all the snow. This storm moves in late Saturday night and will last most of Sunday. Can you feel my smile?

Everyone deserves one.....

Every once in awhile everyone deserves to have a lazy day. I choose today!!

Officially Over.....

With the Holidays officially behind us, we took the opportunity of the day off and nice weather to take down all the decorations and put our house back to normal. It's such a pretty time, I never want it to end, but hey don't fret only 356 more days left until we can put it all up again!!
