My 1st Donation

YIPEE! I have my first donation. THANK YOU Mr. & Mrs. Hurwitz :o)

A Million Thank You's

We are back at work today and I had one crisis but other than that things are pretty good. Hasn't been too bad of a day for my first day back, I think it helped my boss was gone traveling last week too :o)

I'll really try hard to update on our trip tomorrow and get our pictures all uploaded.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU x 1 million to Olivia for taking care of our house and doggies. I had a great report that they behaved and it was like a little mini vacation for Olivia but I know it's hard to not be in your own home and her commute was a bit longer from Oakland to Lafayette last week instead of Walnut Creek to Lafaytte. Our house was nice and clean and it didn't even seem like anyone had been there. I know the doggies are happy we are home but I know they miss her. THANK YOU again, you're the bestest :o)

Making our Way Back

HELLLLLOOOOO!!! We are alive and sad to be heading back home but also looking forward to it. We weren't able to blog all week because we didn't feel like paying the $25 a day to have interenet, that's quite pricey. We are currently sitting at the aiport in the Dominican (with free wifi) and waiting for our plane to Miami. Then it's a 4 hour lay over and then a 5 hour flight home :o( so far that's the only part of the vacation that hasn't been fun. Other than that we had a wonderful time and are nice and relaxed. I'll update more during the week.

Donate Please

As I mentioned earlier I will be fundraising this season for the Pac Grove Triathlon. If you are interested in donating here is the link :o) THANK YOU. I will personalize it and make it look all pretty when I get back. I got the link today though and was told I had one week to set it up...YIKES TNT isn't messing around. My goal and minimum is to raise $3300 I really hope to make that and more. This season my run is dedicated to our friend who's going through her own battle with uterine cancer and of course to our past honoree's Cole and Brenda. I also run in honor of those who are still with us and are still battling this ugly disease and those in remission.

Also a little update on my boss's dog :o( they had to put him to sleep. So we've lost 2 dogs in 2 weeks in our office :o( very sad.

I had a WONERFUL evening with the ladies and now I'm at home relaxing.

Good night.

Signed Up

Well it's official, last night I signed up to do the Olympic Distance at the Pacific Grove Triathlon with Team in Training....YIKES! Kick Off for the season is on May 31st and I believe we start training the very next day...YIKES! Acutally I'm pretty excited. I'm looking forward to doing my second triathlon and not having to go out and run anything higher than 6 miles :o) I will also be fundraising for LLS so it's going to be a very busy season with training and fundraising.

Last night TNT had a special party for Alumni and if you went to the party you could sign up for $20 instead of $50. It was held at MoMo's and it was put together very nicely. They had the usual speeches and pep talk but it was very minimal because they wanted it to be more of a casual type thing. I took Olivia with me and Phil was also there. We didn't really know any of the other peeps there but we did chit chat with them a bit. It was a fun evening and they had super yummy food. We also witnessed a nice little under cover sting operation as we were leaving, hopefully Ms. Olivia will write about it since she almost got run over by a darn undercover cop :o( how rude.

So we are now just counting down the hours til we hop on our plance to the nice sandy white beach :o) Tonight I'm having dinner with Lindsay, Jeanette and Olivia and then tomorrow we'll probably head out a little early and have lunch with Rocky's dad before we head out. It's his bday tomorrow :o) We are taking our laptop and will try to update while we are there but I'm not promising anything. I mgiht not move from the pool or beach for 7 days :o)

More birthday wishes. Tomorrow is my father-in-laws birthday and my nephews. Sunday is Phil's birthday.

Happy Birthday!

Rocky with his dad last July

Lindsey and Erick, my niece & newphew.

They look half Salvadorean don't they? :O)

Doggie Prayers

Okay, what is going on this month/year with the bad news. Not only are our human friends having a rough month/year but so are the doggies in our lives. There are 3 of us in my office and we all have doggies so we understand how important they are in our lives and the connection that we have with them. They aren't "just dogs" to us, they are our family. If you remember a few weeks ago my co-worker lost Jack, their family doggie. Then over the weekend we found out that Rocky's cousins doggie died. They think he may have been bite by a rattle snake :o( He was a perectly healthy German Shepard who was 4 years old. Today my boss sits and waits to hear of his doggie will live or die :o( The doggie had seizures the other night and they were pretty severe. He has been at the emergency vet the last two days and will probably wait til tomorrow decide what will happen with him. They are waiting to see if the seizures have caused any brain damage. So doggie prayers that Ben comes out of this okay.


Last night was another long day for me. I had my hair done right after work, back to dark color again :o) liking it much better and then I had to go by Target. I ate and cleaned up a little and then I caught up on some of my shows for this week I hadn't watched. I'm getin anxious now and so ready to get going :o) 2 more day!

and birthday wishes to Cousin Rodney!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

3 DAYS!!!!

That's where we are going :o)

Here is what Wikipedia has to say about it.

Punta Cana, named after a local cape, is a region in the easternmost tip of the Dominican Republic. Covering about 4,200,000 m2 (approximately 1,100 acres), the region is home to a coastline of sandy white beaches and to a town of the same name. A region once named Punta de Borrachón was merged with Punta Cana by the founding investors in 1969.........You can read more here.

And we are staying here :o)

I can already picture myself sitting on the sandy beaches under the nice hot sun :o)

Rocky and I got a lot done last night so I think now all we have to do is throw in the last minute stuff and we are set to go. YAY!

The house is pretty much ready as well for Ms. Olivia to come over and stay with the doggies. OH PLEASE BEHAVE DOGGIES :o) They love her so hopefully all will go well and she won't want to kill them. THANK YOU OLIVIA!

Lot's of birthday's going on this week starting today with Rocky's mommy :o) She is in the Phillipines on vacation so we won't be celebrating with her til we get back. She returns a day before we do.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
