Older but Always Wiser

Today is my mom's 76th birthday!
Happy Birthday mom!
I love and respect you more than you will ever know!
Your loving daughter,

Remembrance

An eerie moment of silence and calm appeared as the jet flew into Buchannan Field today. The precious cargo inside was Breanna's friend Ben Tollefson; a 22-year old brave soldier that was killed in Iraq. His body will be laid to rest in San Bruno on Saturday, Jan 10. He was a good friend to my daughter and will be sorely missed.
Rest in peace Ben.

Push It

Monday - back to work and already in the groove. 4:45 a.m. came early but I awoke to my prepared gym bag calling my name. Off to the gym I went. It was nice seeing my old gym rats friends -- it has been 12 days since I worked out in Concord. Now that I have my "new" gym 2 miles away, it's much easier to go there and get my yokes on.
Even had the energy to do a second work out this evening.
Happy days,
V
Workput: 30 mins. arms; 45 mins. racquetball; 20 mins. stair climber; 20 mins. treadmill

Sunday Tradition

Howdy,
Every Sunday my family comes over for a family dinner; tonight is no exception. This tradition has been going on for years and years. It's so great to have family so close by.

Today was another successful day of spin - 26 miles in 66 mins. Maybe I can start a new goal of 126 miles per week.

Enjoy this Sunday!

23

Hi all,
I started off my day with a spin class in which I logged 23 miles in 1 hr. It's a great work-out and lots of fun! The music does it all for me!
Today was the day for a new hair style. I got my hair cut and will post a photo soon. It's fun to have change.
Tonight we are going to Peanut's/Mona's for a spaghetti dinner and Texas Hold'Em. Get your chips ready! May the best man/woman win!
Enjoy this first Saturday of the year!

Happiness is.....

having TWO beautiful daughters!

Day 2 (09)

It was another invigorating day of this new year!
I rebounded from bed this morning and went to the gym. Had a great workout!
I'm still trying to do some chores around the house since I've been on this holiday break -- today was "clean the garage" day. I managed to get quite a bit done (boxes sorted, a lot of junk thrown out, a huge pile to take to Goodwill). I came across many photos of the girls when they were young -- what great memories! It's so hard to believe it's 2009 -- where did all those youthful years go!
I hope you are all enjoying this second day of the year -- I hope that if you've made an resolutions that you are well on your way to upholding your contract with yourself. Keep up the great work!
Tonight I'm going to my monthly dinner with my friend Renee -- we are starting our
26th year of friendship!
Enjoy this day -- make it special!
