Fun in the Big Apple !!!

I just got back this weekend from a trip to New York City with 3 of my girlfriends, Allison, Shelley and Stacy. We had a fabulous time and it was so, so, so much fun!! We stayed with Allison's parents in New Jersey who were the ultimate hosts and treated us like the princesses that we are :) Thank you George and Louise for taking such good care of us!!

Allison and Shelley have already documented the trip so well on their blogs and I'm way behind as usual. Since they obiviously have more time than me or they're just better at using the time that they have I'm going to point you to their blogs for now until I can add my review of the trip.

Bentley

We had a nice sunny day last week and the snow had begun to melt. I thought...I'll let the dogs enjoy the sunshine and leave them out a little longer than I normally do. Well this is what I found when I went to bring them inside, Bentley had indeed enjoyed himself (a little too much!) digging in the dirt.

I've been tagged

I've been tagged by my fellow blogger and friend, Allison to name some things that I can't live without. Well family and friends go without saying, so it got me thinking....what wouldn't I want to do without now that I have 'it'. Some things that came to mind were:

My cell phone...what did we do before cell phones? I can't even remember. Life is so much easier when riding in the car or walking thru the mall, I bet there are some that never have even had the pleasure of pulling over to find a payphone when you're needing directions. Not to mention having to wonder who's been using that phone before you.

DVR...it's changed our lives! We record what we want and watch it when we can, we can pause something if we need to so we don't miss it if the phone rings, and we can skip the commericials if we want. I love it!

Also, I would hate to be without my GPS for the car. Love it! And since I have always been 'map challenged', it get's me to where I need to go.

Oh and lastly, Google calendar. My sister Traci, mentioned it to me a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it! It helps keep us better organized and since it's online....Derek can check it from work to see what's going on for the week at home. He can even upload his flight itineraries and that really helps me. It's color coded so everyone in the family has a different color to help keep things straight.
