Checking In, ready for vacation

I'm taking a break from everything I have to get done before we leave for Jamaica. I'm also stressing that the weather is going to be an issue when we go to leave. Please keep good thoughts that the snow and ice they are calling for will stay away, at least until we fly out LOL!

I have been busy cleaning, doing laundry, shopping and getting all the techy gadgets ready for the trip. Hubs bought me the new Sapphire Blue Acer Mini computer and I love it. Look at this beauty

It's going to be perfect for our trip so we can offload pictures and I can check in with the house sitters.

We also got the Christmas tree up and mostly decorated. I still have to put down the tree skirt and decorate the house. The theme for our tree from here on out is the BEACH so you'll see most of our ornaments will have to do with that. I have a few more to put up on the tree but here is what we have so far. The pics didn't turn out so good, sorry.

When we get back from Jamaica, we pick up the dog at the kennel, my stepdaughter will fly in the next day, we have our family Christmas party and then one day to get more cleaning done and my parent's come in to town for the holiday's. I'm excited but we'll probably need another vacation after all that ha ha.

As you can imagine, I most likely won't be blogging while we're in Jamaica but I will post our trip journal and pictures when we return.

Have a great few weeks!

Have fun in Jamaica Angie! Yeah as if you need to be told to have fun. LOL I'm praying that you have good weather so you can get the heck out of dodge and then the weather can get as nasty as it wants. I can't wait to see pics of your trip and hear all about it :-) Enjoy!

Blog Trip Day 5: Explore the City

Here we are on the last day of the blog trip. It has been fun getting to know so many of you. Today we are exploring our city. My favorite thing to do, that we do about once a year and I hope to change that is spend the day at Six Flags Great America . I love all the rides and could go on them over and over. Hubby and my stepson are not so much into the spin type rides so I have to ride those alone. Oh well! We went there a few weeks ago and I had a blast. My favorite rides were Vertical Velocity, Superman and Revolution. Do you like amusement parks? If so, please feel free to share your favorites and where they are located. I would love to one day be able to visit them all over the world. How fun would that be? Next on our trip is the zoo. You definitely don't want to miss the Brookfield Zoo on your trip here. I haven't been there in a long time but would love to go soon. I love animals and they have quite the variety at Brookfield. I like Stingray Bay , Seven ...

Money Blogger Contest I Would Love to Win

This morning I found a link to a contest over at Money Blogger to win an ipod Nano . I will normally only enter contests that I have to blog about if I like what they have to offer on their blog. And this blog, I do like so far and even signed up for their feed. I found a very helpful post on how to get ideas for new blog posts already so I look forward to digging in a bit more. I would love to win this prize because Kev and I just joined a fitness center and it would come in handy as I'm on the recumbent bike and treadmill. Winner is chosen at random so wish me luck. Happy Monday!
