Don't let the door hit ya.....

It's time to say goodbye to 2010 and look forward to the New year! Good Riddance? For me....It was a pretty good year!

Holidays with Family

It's all about spending the holidays with those you love, Isn't that what it's all about? Thanks Dad and Janet for hosting such a great dinner for all of us, my crew members included. If you have to work on the holidays, this truly was the layover to have. Hope each of you have a safe and happy new year!!

Oh the weather outside is frightful but the ads are so delightful!!

The Aftermath.......

Not being able to venture very far from my house, since I am home stuck working on the computer, I did snap these pics with my phone. 18.5 inches of snow fell that night. Funny thing is that is only the 9th snowiest 24 hrs period on record.

Photo Op!

Taken on Christmas Day, This great picture of my Sister and Grandmother.

Happy New Year to both of you!!

It's so hard to sit here and watch the snow storm coverage from a laptop in Dallas/Fort worth. We are suppose to get 20 inches of snow tonight and I will miss it all. At least I won't have to shovel it.

Merry Christmas!!

Wishing Each of you the Merriest of Christmas's!!

I wish I could be in several places at once this year, but I can't, So know this,

You will always be in my heart and soul today as you are each and every day.

Merry Christmas to all.....and to all a good night!!

And the Holidays begin........

Wishing everyone safe journey's to their final destinations this Christmas. I have to work this Christmas, but I was able to trade onto a Seattle layover, So at least I will be with family this year. Hope all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season is over and now you can just relax and enjoy the Christmas spirit!

History in the making.....

President Obama signed into law the repeal of "Don't ask, Don't tell" this morning which officially begins the process to remove the policy banning gay and lesbian service members from serving openly in the U.S. Military. It's about time!!

White Christmas?

Just took this pic out my front porch. Its the first measurable snow of the winter season. It does get people in the holiday spirit. Just two inches forecasted for tonight, but another storm is on its way for Christmas night. Will it be a white Christmas? We'll have to wait and see!!

Total eclipes of the heart....

If you happen to be up in the wee hours of the morning, be sure to look at the moon, Tonight is a Total Lunar Eclipse. Should starts at 1:33 am East coast time and end by 5:01 am. The moon will take on the vibrant red color until 3:35 am according to NASA. During the lunar eclipse, the moon, the earth, and the sun align so that the sun's rays are shielded by the moon.

Meet Simka.

As I am sitting on the couch watching the Patriot's football game, it donned on me, that I haven't introduced you to the newest member of the Perry-Dudley household. Meet Simka!! We rescued her from a shelter a couple of months ago. She is an adult cat, with a face of a kitten. She's pretty laid back, which I guess is a good thing with two flight attendants for parents. She's not really a lap cat but loves to be petted and touched. She is always right next to us, no matter what room we are in. Although I wasn't sure at first about getting a cat, I have to admit she has been fun having and Dustin loves her. Isn't that what counts!

Weight loss challenge update: This morning I woke up to 202 on that scale. That's 8 lbs lost so far!! I haven't seen that number since April 2008. I can now button the top button on my shirt and have gone up the next hole in my belt. Wahoo!!

Xmas Challenge Update #1

Well today marks the 7th day of my weight loss challenge and I am very pleased to inform you I am down 3.4 lbs this week. I actually already got my first compliment at work yesterday. It just goes to show you, how even a few pounds can make a difference. Wish me luck as I move into week 2!!

O Christmas tree.....

Our 2010 Christmas Tree

Are you in the Holiday spirit yet?

Well if this photo doesn't make you smile or laugh, you've got

NO holiday cheer!!
It cracked me up, so I thought I would share it with you. Hope everyone is having a great holiday season thus far!!

What the Heck am I thinking.....

The countdown to Christmas has begun!

Usually this is the hardest time of the year to start a program, but why wait? Defying all logic and common sense, I have decided to see what I can lose in 25 days. ( NO, I am not starving myself, I'm doing it right) Anyway, myself and 2 other co-workers are challenging ourselves to see if we can not be tempted by the holiday usuals. To make this interesting, we each put in $20 and the winner of the highest % loss on the 25th will be the winner of the $60 pot. The truth is, if each of us lose even 5 pounds we are all winners. So today, it begins....who will come out on top, will it be me? Check back on the 25th!!
