Is it really 2010?


Well, It is well into 2010. February 1 to be exact. Where did 2009 go? So many of my friends were glad to see it go. Milo and I had a pretty good year and hope that 2010 will be even better. Hasn't started off quite right; nephew got really sick, oven broke, cousin had knee surgery and wound up in a terrible care facility, oven still broke,niece is on bed rest so baby doesn't come too soon, mother in law fell, and I have major dental surgery TODAY. I'm not supposed to move my lower lip for 4 days, which mean limited talking. I'm told I won't feel like talking anyway. Always encouraging!
On the positive side, the oven is fixed (although it rattles a bit), Scott is getting good grades in school, we have the potential to make more income this year than last year, we have a bit of sunshine today and tomorrow the dental surgery will be over and the vicodin will kick in.
Since my speaking will be limited for a few days, maybe I will find the opportunity to "blog" a bit more. Limited speaking???? Is this a test of some kind?

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
