Road trip

Good morning!!! I'm on my way to CT this morning .. or I will be as soon as I finish my coffee .. shower... pack .. etc. I seriously thought about just sleeping in and skipping the gym .. I figured I would wake up on my own about 6 a.m. ... but the gym is so much a part of my morning now that I felt guilty even having the thought!!! I haven't made it to the shower yet .. so I'll be lucky to be on the road by 8 when I had hoped 7 to 7:30 ... I have a pretty full weekend. I am hoping to stop at my parents on the way to my sister's and spend a few hours with them. My mother's attention span is somewhat less than 2 hours so an hour and a half to 2 hours is about the max before she gets confused and starts repeating herself. Mr Mo is not making the trip, so I'll need to spend time with my Dad too. Usually Mr Mo will entertain Dad so I can concentrate on Mom. I'm going out to dinner with my sister and her b/f tonight, then I'm sure I'll be asleep by 9. Lunch plans with some friends tomorrow, then hopefully another visit with M & D and then dinner with my best friend and her daughter. Sunday a.m. my sister and I will spend some time together and have breakfast before I start home. Anyway, I hope that yall have a wonderful Easter and the Easter Bunny brings you gift cards and fun stuff to shop with!!! Hugs, Mo

mo, good morning. hope you have a safe and fun trip. please take this cold weather with you. we don't want it anymore. lol you are really hooked on the gym thing aren't you. but that it a good thing to be hooked on. maybe one day i will be going to the gym but i have defective ankles and a defective right arm so it is hard for me to do alot of things like that. but my daughter has a treadmill and i have been on that before and it doesn't seem to bother me that much. anyway have fun in ct with your family and friends. tammy

Thanks Tammy I'm just about ready to go. The suitcase is packed, the water/snacks are in the bag by the front door. I just need to finish up my coffee and make a pit stop (and i'll probably need to tinkle again by the time I get to Wawa which is only 5 minutes from here .. .. and then again at the rest stop on 301 on the way up the shore .. ) The laptop is packed too .. so I'm sure I'll peek in before I get back. Hugs, Mo

Morning Mo I hope you have a safe trip. The easter bunny doesnt come this way anymore. That ended when me and my brother got older and moved out. But my mom is doing easter dinner which we havnt done in a long time so It will be fun. Toda is Good Friday so no meat. Chicken will be on the menu for dinner I guess or I do have some fish. Well see. Well have fun and dont get to crazy in CT

I'm here .. all safe and sound!!! It was a fairly easy trip. I really only made 3 pit stops!!! (surprising for me ) I got away from home about 8:15 and got to my parents about 2:15. Of course Mom and Dad were not home, so I came on to my sister's house. I'm hanging out with one of my nieces while my sister goes to get her hair cut. Hugs, Mo

will be with you. Go ahead and in if you want from time to time -- good for your body. I had a dental appt this morning so there was no gym; however, I'll be taking a break in about half an hour and go down stairs to the fitness center and work on my legs. I've figured out a happy medium that doesn't leave me exhausted -- cardio at the fitness center at home and weights as the fitness center at work. Enjoy your family and don't you and your sister too much

Thanks NaDine!

Morning or afternoon now, We were heading for Ct. this morning too but I have developed some kind of asthma, upper respiratory, head cold sort of thing and hubby thought we better just stay home. I'm bummed cause we were spending the weekend with his large family and my son was coming too. I just feel crappy and I guess my bed and house is the best place for me. Hope your trip is great Mo. Everyone have a great Easter. Margie B

Oh Margie .. I'm sorry you are feeling punky . If it is any consolation it's COLD here in CT .. it was a fairly easy trip up .. EZ Pass and I breezed through the GW bridge and up the back way to the Merritt Parkway!!! Hugs, Mo

Hey Moie - I'm soooo glad you made it, safe and sound! I'm sooooo sorry I wasn't available when you called, I was just getting into the shower. We had about 7 people over for dinner today - Mom cooks the same menu every year for Good Friday - steakfish (this year it was 12 pounds), mac salad w/shrimp, western fries, cole slaw, and today we had steamed shrimp, too. I also made a homemade carrot cake with orange cream cheese frosting. YUM! I've got an insanely busy tomorrow - Dad & I are going to the cemetary - provided it doesn't snow, then KB have haircuts at 10, then Mom's got a haircut at 12:30, I have a jewelry party at 2, and Mom and I have a 90th bday party for Mom's aunt at 6. I question the wisdom of yelling "Surprise!" to 90 year old, but whatever.... On Sunday, we're having dinner at my aunt's, and hopefully, the weather will hold out so I can take KB to the playground across the street. I'm actually off next week - shhh, don't tell anyone. I told KB I would keep them out of daycare for a day or two, but frankly, they were so nasty today that I told them now I'd have to think about it. There seems to be an epidemic of that around here - Dad's been a real PITA today - he's obviously got a bug up his butt!!! I'm trying real hard to stop thinking everything's my fault, now instead of getting my feelings hurt, I get pissed, which is actually more productive! Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful time with your family and friends and that you get in some Mo time! Please have a safe trip back and I'll call you next week - I pwomise!!! HOPPY EASTER! Tia
