Tempus fugit

Well, time flies with barely a chance to talk about the fun time in OC with my sister-in-law and the rest of our delightful family. Now it's time to head out to Twin Falls Idaho with my husbands dad and that side of the family. (We hit my "sides" of the family in August). It's been quite the year for travel and other than the neglect to our garden, it's been lots of fun, with more to come.
I read my niece Kathy's blog today and she listed the 5 things that she likes more than most people...so here's my list.
1) Time with Family - I'm so lucky to love them ALL!
2) THE BEACH
3) travel
4) pizza - unreasonably so!
5) reading fiction
Do you have a list?

Anticipation


I am sitting the the Sacramento Airport anxiously awaiting a brief flight to Orange County. Affectionately know as The OC. My loving sister-in-law is celebrating a landmark birthday (which will remain uncounted for now) this weekend and I can't wait to be a part of the festivities to honor her.
Not to be one to miss a few minutes of frivolous free WiFi time, I took a few minutes to review my nieces blogs. The antics of my grand nieces and nephews always make my day, so I thought I would start a mini-saga for the weekend. Stay tuned for what is sure to be a visit filled with hilarity and most of all, the love of a family who accepts me for who I am. A very rare treat indeed.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAN!

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
