Changes!!!

Good Sunday morning! It is 12am and I am finally going to bed. I have made some changes to my blog. The first you will see is the name is different. It is now "OMG I Am 50! I also changed the font color to make it easier to read. I hope you like the changes. Have a wonderful Sunday!

A Few Hours Alone!

"Baron" and daughter #1 have gone to the movie for the afternoon. Travel time and movie time combined they should be gone about 3.5 hours. What a nice surprise. A sibling is visiting my Mom today so I don't even have to think about her. I am so excited to have this "surprise" time alone! I did the usual Saturday routine - laundry, light cleaning etc but then it was all about me! Wondering what I did? I took "Berk" for a long walk, took a bubble bath, whitened my teeth, facial masque, read a chapter in a new book. It was wonderful - no tv, no music, no telephone, nothing but "thinking about what I want to do!" I even fixed a super healthy lunch for myself. I feel happy and relaxed - not one ounce of guilt! I think this time alone is something that we (Moms, wives, women) don't get enough of! I hope my family had a great few hours away and will do it again - sooner than later (smile)!

 Happy Saturday!

Friday's Favorite Five!

Good afternoon all! My usual Friday post, "A Few Of My Favorite Things" has been changed to "Friday's Favorite Five". I like this title better especially because it incorporates the day of the week it is posted. So, with no further "adieu", I present this week's post, "Friday's Favorite Five"!

The 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony - I can hardly wait to watch it!


Terra Vegetable Chips - my favorite, while eating healthy or not!


Pita Pizza - yummy and so few calories (if you make it that way!)


All summer long with these crazy temps I have been downing "Water with lemon and cucumber"


Bath and Body Works - Dancing Water PocketBac (anti-bacterial hand gel)
Good while on the run in this heat!


Have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy it!

Zumba!!!

I am now a member of Zumba. I went to my first class today and loved it! It reminded me of going out dancing with friends in the 80's - minus the Candies, hair and make-up. I attended with Daughter #1, who is in great shape, and we had a blast! The teacher was fantastic, the music made you want to move and the feeling of completing it is outstanding. It was good for my self esteem because before the class I would have said that I couldn't do a lot of the moves. But wow - I did them and I didn't really struggle! If you are looking for a new and exciting form of exercise than check out - Zumba! I think you will be glad you did!


Looks like more storms are headed our way and the temperature is well over 100. Stay cool and stay safe!
Happy Thursday!

Wisdom On Wednesdays!

Happy Wednesday!

Creative Piece Of Mail!

In May, Daughter #1 graduated from a fine liberal arts college. She had taken the LSAT, scored well, but decided she wasn't interested in attending law school in the fall and perhaps, never! She continues to receive information from various law schools. She received an invitation to apply from a Texas law school yesterday. They totally "take the cake" as the most creative. Here it is -

The printed information tells you that if you plant the card in your garden than Blacked Eyed Susans will appear in one month. Neat right?! Well, you know of course I had to try it! I planted it in a space in the back flower bed.

I will let you know how it "grows"! I haven't seen anything like this before. I will anxiously await my new flowers! My husband, "Baron" is somewhat skeptical. I, however, am hoping for the best! Happy Tuesday!

Trader Joe's Purchase!

Good Monday morning to you! I thought I would share my latest little purchase from Trader Joes. Isn't it just the cutest little orchid and it's real! Only $7!

Have a wonderful week!!!
