Just Another Palm Beach Sunday

Palm Beach, Florida

The Sergio's and I took a drive to Palm Beach this morning.  Sergio is doing the trim package on a house there when it gets to that point and he wanted to see how it was coming along.

Some cool landscaping!

Intercoastal Waterway

This is the house Sergio will be working on as soon as the drywall is finished.

Hi giys!

I think I am watching too much C.S.I. since I thought for a second that there was a cut off hand laying on the ground!

Strolling..... it was windy and choppy.

If I can be Blunt....

Sergio, Sandra, Lynn and I went to see James Blunt!  A local radio station had a free concert at Downtown at the Gardens http://www.downtownatthegardens.com/, i guess, to promote James' new albulm.  We had dinner at the Yard House http://www.yardhouse.com/default.aspx the food there is really awesome!  Sergio and I have been there twice now, the first time I had:

CHICKEN ENCHILADA STACK

chicken and roasted pasilla peppers in garlic cream, jack cheese, fresh corn tortillas, pinto beans, tomatillo, red chili sauce, sour cream

and this time I had:

LOBSTER GARLIC NOODLES

tossed with shrimp, crab, lobster, shiitake mushrooms and fresh spinach. Dusted with parmesan

James performed 4 songs, including You're Beautiful, and his new hit, Stay the Night. 
My photos didn't come out all that great, not my video as I shook the camera up and down... but not all THAT bad....  He had a meet and greet after the show but you had to have a special security pass so we didn't get to go.  But like a pass-less groupee, I took photos through the window... hee hee.

South Florida Fair!

The Agricultugal Center part of the fair was really cool!  Some of the animals were awesome!AHHHHHHHHHH!  This one looked scared!

Are those earrings?  You look MAHVALOUS!

Someone was in the fluff cycle!

Cheese!

These Bhrama Bulls were so sweet!

CHEESE!

Zzzzzz.....

Cheese!  Lots of pretty smiles were going on!

My name is Snowball!

White Turkey

Electrified!

The Fair was so colorful!

Up Up and Away!

Now on to the FAIR FOOD! You can't believe what they were selling to eat!

Giant Corn Dogs

Bacon Cheeseburger with Donut Buns!!!

Pork Parfait sounds nasty!

Who Knew!

I had just been to Weight Watchers before we left for the fair and with 14.2 pounds lost since Thanksgiving; didn't eat anything here!  We went to Golden Corral after the fair and I had a salad, lots of veggies, chicken and a little rice!

Weight Watcher Update: Made it through the holidays unscathed!

Hi!  I weighed in this morning at Weight Watchers and I was down another THREE pounds!  During the last two weeks, which were the week of Christmas and the week of New Year, I gained .4 (thats point four) and lost 1 respectively.  I also weighed in at night during those weeks and when I go on Saturdays, I am there at 8 AM. The bottom line is that I am down 13.2 pounds since Thanksgiving! HOORAY! I honestly have only exercised once and that is going to change! My husband bought me The Biggest Loser game for our new XBox 360/Kinect and damn it, I'm starting it tomorrow!

Also this week, I sold 5 of the 6 items that I posted on EBay!  They were all rubber stamps and I sold them for .99 cents to $5.53! Not bad... and the buyer pays the shipping so it's way more than I could have expected from a yard sale! Now... here is the problem.... I made $9-and-something this week and bought products worth $16, including shipping... I bought a Rubber Stamp (Russia postage stamp theme), and a cute pink glass toothpick holder with Charlie Chaplin on the side. 


I took down and put away all my Christmas things today.  Then I decorated my dining room for Valentine's Day with reds and pinks.  I put my pink depression glass out... hence the 'need' for more...

All for now.  Make it a great week! xox

2011 Happy New Year!!!!!

Happy New Year! We rang in 2011 with a family meal at Pep's Island Grill in Tequesta. The food was good, real good prices, service a little slow overall.

I became a seller on E-Bay today! If you have been thinking about doing it and thought it may be too complicated..... it's soooo not! I couldn't believe how easy it was to get set up and I have two listing up already! Check them out: http://cgi.ebay.com/Set-3-Rubber-Stamps-Winter-Snowman-Moose-SKi-Tree-/260715382844?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb3d9083c

I have taken all the ornaments off the tree and we are heading to the park soon! I would say we are off to a great start in 2011; always remember to take nothing for granted and be grateful!

Bye Bye Bye and Ho Ho Ho

Bye Bye Bye 7.2 pounds in two weeks! I lost 4 the first week and 3.2 this week when I weighed in this morning. I am loving the Weight Watcher's Points Plus plan, it's easy to follow and if I plan the foods right, there's no reason to be hungry.

Then on to the Garden's Mall where Sergio mailed his letter to Santa. He asked for, and I quote, 'a grinch, a train, and a special chicken, it's called a turtle dove.' Too cute!

Then a quick stop at Downtown at the Gardens where he rode a flying fish on the carousel. Check out my other blof: http://www.igofeedturtles.blogspot.com/ for all the photos!
