LOOK DEVINE IN 2009

Happy New Year to You All!
I hope good things will come to all in this new year.
I will follow my MO of "Look Devine in 2009" in an effort to live more healthfully, exercise more intently, and explore regularly.
I'm hoping my new year will be filled with new experiences with friends and the creation of long lasting memories.
My word for 2009 will be challenge. I want to challenge myself to do things outside my comfort zone, physically exert my capabilities in unknown areas of fitness, and volunteer to a worthy cause (possibly for the Special Olympics, a cancer organization, or a children's hospital).
I hope everyone had a peaceful and bright set of holidays with family and friends. We valued all our moments together and look forward to many more in 2009.
Happy first day of the year!
Happy trails,
V

Merry Christmas Eve!
I hope you are all amongst family and friends celebrating, laughing and making memories.
We will be having dinner with our close friends Monica and Peanut! They will be hosting a devine dinner with family and friends; there will be plenty of food and spirits to go round; even a gift exchange! So blessed to have such great friends.
Enjoy this night! May peace shower you at midnight!
Love and wishes,
Veronique

Countdown!

Jolly Times

Howdy!
This weekend brought us a new adventure! We spent the day in Livermore making ourselves familiar with their wineries. We had lunch at Garre Vineyards -- very quaint; food was delicious. Our first wine tasting event was at McGrail Vineyards; family owned and operated; the boys reported that they have great wine and Greg ended up purchasing a case! (Soon we will start our own winery - BG&P Winery; which means "Body Guard and Peanut"). Our second stop (which was a walk across the street) was White Crain Winery; not too impressed. We need to investigate some others but 5 hours of wine tasting for this day was enough. We ended up having a very nice dinner at Vic Stewart's in BWood. Very good food, service and atmosphere -- that restaurant is due to please and succeed! We are happy good things are coming to The Wood.

It was a jolly good time this weekend!

The Party Goes On

Saturday we celebrated Peanut's birthday! He took it in true form and enjoyed all the festivities (especially the Patron). He sang some duets, danced, bartended, and loved being in the lime light. He's quite the performer.

Happy Birthday Peanut! Looking forward to a grand 2009 of memories.

Shoot the Duck

Howdy,
Remember those days of: couple skate, shoot the duck, reverse direction, girls only.... well if you've forgotten, I'm talking about roller skating. We went roller skating for Monica's birthday. We had a ball! Some of us saw the floor quite a bit; others got blisters; and some of us rolled with the punches. There were a lot of teeny bopers there. Regardless, we made the best of it and got in some good exercise.

After our work-out, we dined at Zachary's Pizza and took in a few cocktails. It was quite relaxing and was a great way to soothe our sore bones.

Fun times in CA!

Happy Birthday Friend!

Hi All,
Today is my dear friend Magic Mona's birthday!
Cheers to you buddy and I can't wait to see you do shoot the duck on the roller skating floor! I know you're still young enough to do it!
Happy Birthday!
