CRUISE COFFEE

I didn't realize there were so many things to learn about cruises. Like coffee, evidently cruise lines are notorious for bad coffee. While not a coffee-holic, I do like a good cup of coffee in the morning. Milo on the other hand, depends on that jolt. I'm told the French Press is a necessity when cruising. Being too cheap to buy one of my own, I borrowed a nice thermal french press from our friends Stacey & Jim. Then of course we had to experiment with measurements of coffee and water. Now that we have it at a strength that is acceptable to both of us, I just spent the morning measuring 27 snack size baggies of coursely ground coffee from out local coffee house. They are all labeled (of course) and ready to pack. Not sure I'll have room for any clothing, but we will certainly be awake. Let's hope the TSA doesn't think it's contraband. The sniffing dogs will be wired....

How I fill my days

  • Travel has become a regular part of our lives, and with the help of xanax, I love it!
  • I like to cook and try new recipes when the urge strikes. Milo often chips in when I let him know he is in the mood to help as well.
  • On occasion I still do event planning for local non-profit organizations, but I don't actively seak those jobs.
  • Milo started Insurance Solutions Group over 4 years ago and the growth of that business keeps me busy with marketing, accounting and general operations.
  • Kickboxing is my excercise of choice. I tried Jazzercise, but couldn't get my arms and legs to move at the same time without someone getting hurt.
  • I enjoy scrapbooking during the winter evenings when I don't want to brave the cold
  • Since I have a difficult time sitting still, I like to crochet in front of the TV
  • I am a volunteer for the American Cancer Society. It is my passion and my purpose.

FUN FACTS

On her blog, my niece listed 100 things about herself from a suggestion by a girlfriend. Milo wanted to know if I would do the same. He thought it was a good idea if I would mention him as number one. To that end, I thought Fun Facts would be more appropriate. Who knows how many I'll come up with.

Fun Facts...the saga begins

  • 1) I was born in Kenmore NY on March 25, 1952. I considered not showing my birth year, but decided I was pleased to be alive, so why not?
  • 2) I have a great son, Scott David Slater and my life basically revolves around him much to his dismay.
  • 3) I am married to the love of my life, Milo Pearson III, yes, he's the third. (one of those fun facts.)
  • 4) I hesitated to mention that I have been married before, because of the stigma attached, but our history makes us who we are today. Both are good men and while I am happy to call them "ex"s", I am also happy that they are still a part of my life.
  • 5) In 1970, I was the first female limo driver/tour guide in Niagara Falls NY. At that time, it was my contribution to women's lib. others were burning their bras.
  • 6) I am a breast cancer survivor since 1993! Woo Hoo
