I Won't be home for Christmas :(

Shannon has kept most of you up to date on the Arctic Blast. Infact most of you who even read my blog, live in the midst of the winter storm. However, I needed to update my blog. We were planning on driving home to Vancouver, this year. But the weather seems to have other plans for us. My parents sent some pictures of their house the other day.

The snow is oh so marvelous, except when it keeps you from the family that you love and miss so much. Merry Christmas to everyone!

My Little Model!

My little beauty!


Mikelle got her hair done today, and of course we had to take some snapshots! She isn't shy about posing. She even walked the "catwalk"! She would have loved to worn it all down, but the stylist thought it was too grown up.

20 year Reunion?


It has begun, and I can hardly believe it. I received my first notification for my 20 year high school reunion, for next August. Wow, where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday that we were all gathered for our 10 year reunion. Well, maybe not "yesterday", but atleast only a couple of years ago. High school was a great time. I had a great group of friends, and I look forward to as many reunions as possible. A few months ago, I was able to go home and get together with about 8 girlfriends from high school. It's amazing the laughs, and good conversations you can have with friends you haven't seen in years. The bond of high school, ties ya forever, in a special way. Now would I ever go to high school again, NO. Man, it's tough, with the peer pressure, boys, drama.....must I go on. But when you are that age, you can bounce back. I recently joined Facebook, and have been in touch with many familiar faces. I look forward to seeing how many more people make me their "friend" on FB. It just doesn't seem like it was 20 years ago that I was standing in the rain at Vikki's house, while Bette Midlers song, "Wind Beneath My Wings", played on the car stereo...and we hugged goodbye. Now I have 3 children, and she has 2. Wow.... It can't be close to 30 years that I used to go to Colettes house and make peanut butter and banana sandwiches, and watch her dog hump on it's stuffed animal. Lol! It can't be 25 years since Erica ran around in figure 8's singing "Everything is coming up roses"! Has it really been that long?

TRACK BREAK SHOW DOWN!

We are only in week 1 of track break, as I have already mentioned. The thing that I have not mentioned is.....there is a showdown a brewin' between me and my youngest. I think only one of us is going to make it out alive! And let's just say, I ain't ready to die!


She only looks innocent! Trust me. Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep my kids busy. Or how to bury her without getting caught! Just kidding, I think!

Christmas Spirit!

Miah and Mikelle are home on track break right now. For those of you who don't live in cities with year round schools, "track break" is basically their summer break gets broken up into 4 or 5 different breaks throughout the year. Each school has 5 tracks, and one track is always out. They don't have school the entire month of December! I know, I am lucky, but I will try not to brag. Ok, kidding! Yes, I like having them home....at times. Like right now they are decorating a gingerbread house, and they are working together. It's just when they get bored and start arguing. We are going to continue decorating for Christmas. This is probably the latest I have ever put up my tree. We usually do it during the Thanksgiving weekend. Now that December came upon us so quickly, I feel rushed. I haven't bought even 1 Christmas present. I really need to dig down deep, and focus on the "reason for the season" and all that important stuff. I was hoping that helping serve the homeless on Thanksgiving would help put life in perspective during this Christmas. It does, but then the things that I am used to doing, pop up in my mind. Then just wanna rush out and spend, and shop til you drop! I went to the movie yesterday with two of my girlfriends; Laurie and Laurie. Laurie B. totally treated me! She paid for everything and it was such a blessing and a great treat to spend time with them both. We saw "Australia". I really liked it, and would recommend it! Well, I am just kind of rambling. Oh, and one more very important thing. Yesterday was my mom's birthday. It stinks living so far away! Wish I lived there so I could have come over and given her a big hug! Thanks for being the best mom ever! Hopefully next year I will be able to come over and give you that hug, mom!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

In a world full of economic woes, downfalls, slumps, etc....I still have so much to be thankful for. I am thankful for my Jesus, who has forgiven me, cleansed me, and continues to help me each and everyday. I am thankful for my husband, who puts up with me, loves me, and is so cute. I am thankful for my girls, who drive me crazy, make me smile, light up a room, and make me so proud. I am thankful for the family I was born into...Dad, mom, and Shannon. What a great foundation I was given. I love that my sister and I are more than sisters, but are great friends. I love that my parents have always worked so hard to maintain a relationship with their grandkids, even though we are so far a part. I am thankful that all my daily needs are met, far exceedingly! I am also thankful for great friends, who love me, put up with me, eat with me, cry with me, and laugh with me!
Today we went up to our church to help minister to the homeless. We all worked as a family as "hosts". It was our job to walk 2 men around from station to station. To make them feel comfortable, to minister, and be their friend. They were provided with many wonderful opportunities including; clothes, jackets, backpacks (full of goodies), dental care, medical care, showers, the ability to go on-line, or make a phone call, manicures, legal council.......and at the end of all that, a fantastic meal. What a wonderful opportunity for all of us to remember just how blessed we are. As we went into eat, Pastor John said a prayer, and that is when I just started crying. As he thanked God for all our many blessings, it hit me, that even if I was the one homeless, I would still need to thank Him. This world encourages us to keep on wanting, until there is nothing else left. Today, Bob and Steve, just wanted some socks, a warmer jacket, and a hot meal. Everytime I put on a pair of shoes, I don't stop and thank God for them. I am so truly blessed. Thank you Lord for each and everything in my life! My kids were a bit nervous at first and then they were just great. I have to say that Madi is a natural. She was able to make conversation, and just be herself. Miah and Mikelle were so good about serving the food and making sure their drinks were full and such. I hope all of you had a tremendously blessed day as well.

Beyonce' at AMA

I don't like music videos, have never been to a concert, and find most live performances kind of boring. However, this year Beyonce' did her little jig at the American Music Awards! I have watched it so many times. I find it totally catchy and entertaining. I apologize if her "shakin' her groove thing" bothers you. I just imagine that if any of us ever got up the nerve to dance for our husbands, we would wish we could do it like this. And I guarantee they wouldn't mind. Hope you enjoy! Watch Beyonce dance herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uerTtXtgye4
I went out and bought my leotard today! LOL!

Vancouver Here We Come!

I am speaking that title in faith. I am only putting this out there on blog world, because I believe in the power of prayer. My husband applied for a job opening in the Evergreen School District. Those of you who live there know that there isn't much movement in Vancouver as far as teachers go. It's hard to get a job there. So we need the power of prayer on our side. We have enjoyed our life in Las Vegas, but it's time for a change! Next school year would be perfect. Madi is going into high school and Miah middle school. I know the rain will be something to contend with for a while, but what are ya gonna do. I lived there for many years, so hopefully, I can get used to it again. It is hot here, way too hot. But it's always sunny. I mean literally sun everyday! It's pretty rare that we have a cloudy or gloomy day. This is the first time since I have moved away almost 20 years ago, that I feel this little excitement in my tummy about coming home. Please pray that God's will be done in our lives, and if it is not God's will that we come there....pray that He changes His mind! Ok, I might be kidding! Thanks ahead of time for your prayers!

1.99!!!

Just wanted to send a quick shout out!! Hooray, I bought gas for $1.99 a gallon today. Let's face it people, the economy stinks right now. I mean, for the most part, we are all very blessed. Its just tight, hard, whatever you wanna call it right now. One positive thing in the middle of this crunch time for me, is the decreasing gas prices...yipee! Speaking of crunch time financially, Christmas is just around the corner. I have not bought one present, not even one! It's not going to be like the Christmas' of ole', which is ok. I believe we are going to go and help at church on Thanksgiving, and minister to the homeless. Not to have a selfish motive in this, but I think the timing will be perfect, as we try and teach our kids to remember how many things we are blessed with. I was telling my sister yesterday, whenever we were finished opening ALL of our many gifts as a kid, no matter how many we got, there was kind of this dissappointment. Like that's it? So I do know the expectations that kids have. We have set it up that way. I like presents, I like buying my kids presents. We have never put Christmas on a credit card, so it was never a matter of us living above our means. It's not like we go totally crazy, I do like to get that one thing they really want. Last year it was the WII. This year, it's more like phones, and IPods, and I am not thinking I am going that route. When are they going to just be into clothes? The other day when I told my girls that this Christmas they wouldn't be getting as many presents as usual, they said, "less than last year?" I'm thinking "wow, this is going to be more difficult than I thought!" I'm going to have to be more creative with my gift giving than ever. What about y'all? Is everyone having to cut back? Any creative ideas for gifts? Any magic pills to give to my kids so all they care about is Jesus, and not presents? Ha! I'm just being silly.

I've Been Tagged!






1. Watching T.V. is probably my favorite way to relax. The funny thing about that is that we didn't even have a T.V. for like 9 years. That's a long story....I guess I am just making up for lost time. DVR is my favorite, because I really can't stand commercials. I like reality T.V. for some stupid reason. I like Oprah when she isn't talking about "the light, and inner people, (lol)". I like Rachael Ray, and the View. That's my morning routine.

2. I know we have talked about Target many times. I was just there tonight. I have been trying to stay away. I forgot just how happy I am when I am there. Of course I am most happy when I am there with cash to spend. It has a little bit of everything. It's not overwhelming like the mall. The prices are reasonable. I love the home decor stuff! It's to die for! I love TARGET!

3. I'm kind of a "go by the rules" gal. Authourity has always intimidated me a bit. Even now if I have to meet with the kids teachers, I find myself all sweaty and nervous. I didn't like getting in trouble as a kid, and I certainly don't want to get in trouble for my kids. If a cop is driving behind me, I tense up a bit. Stuff like that!

4. I am a junk food junkie! I would always choose something "unhealthy" to eat, over anything "healthy" if the calories didn't matter. I love things like ice cream, pizza, french fries, tacos, burgers, pop tarts, cookies, pastries, candy, soda, chips, etc......This is exactly why I am attending Weight Watchers for my 99th time. Oh, and Starbucks...I like it!

5. I am very competitive. I guess this isn't really something new to most of you. But, I do play to win! Whether a board game, sports, etc. At GGW my team lost a game of Taboo. We are going to have to train for next year. Ha ha! Worst part about it, that means, my sister actually won. The little sister is never suppose to beat the big sister. I'm slowly getting over it.

6. I can't stand bugs, spiders, snakes, etc....All of them really freak me out! I can't kill em, so I just panic. I usually have to ask my kids to come and get rid of this bug! We have black widows in Vegas. Scary!

7. I find my hubby very hot! He looks like he did the day I met him. I wish I could say the same about myself. Poor guy. I have been every size under the sun, over the last 18 years. I am working on it! Hopefully for good this time! But that junk food just calls my name!

Dena, Shannon, Lee Ann, and whoever else might read my blog.....you have been tagged!

On a Lighter Note!




Politics, religion, wars, abortion....lets get to the important stuff! HAIR! Last week I got a wild hair up my bootie, and.....had my hair chopped off. Mom, I am sorry. I know you like it long, and so do I. I miss my long hair the way I miss a good friend. I don't know what to do without it. I wasn't going to blog about it, or tell my mom. Cuz I figured it will grow some before I see her, and maybe she will never know. Lol! So here is a picture of my hair before....


Very nice, long, long, long. And now here is my new bob....
Not a very good picture. I just woke up this morning and knew I needed a picture for this post. Mikelle took it for me. Does anyone know how long it will take me to grow it out? I'm guessing 2 years? Although it doesn't have to be as long as it was...just long enough for a cute pony tail.

Made a Decision!

I decided to erase the two blogs that seemed to cause a lot of tension. The election is over....and so is this conversation. Love to you all!!

Picture Updates!

Mikelle celebrated her birthday with a few friends by going to see the movie, "High School Musical 3". She had lots of fun. 3 of the friends are from softball, and 1 is from school. What a cute bunch of girls



For our "Harvest Day Festival" Madi and Mikelle borrowed some uniforms from the cheerleading coach at Charles school. Miah just wanted to be a cat. But that didn't really work out. So no pics of Miah.

It was a busy weekend of softball for our family. On Saturday, the day began with Madison's double header at 9 & 10:30. Then I had 2 games. We played my alma mater, UNLV & SUU. That lasted from 10-5. Then we headed over to the third field of the day to watch Miah's double header. Her team played at 6 & 7:30. So basically we were at the softball fields from 7:30 am til' 9pm. Yesterday, I had 2 more games, and Madi played 4 more. Madi was a pick up player this weekend for "Code Red". She played in 4 games with them, at the 16-U level. She is scheduled to begin practicing this week with "Rage", because they have asked her to be a pick up player for the next couple weeks. Well yesterday, after Madison's last game with Code Red, the coach from Rage came up and asked Madi if she wanted to play in their last 2 games of the day. (Now she could only do this because it was just a "friendly round robin" with local teams. Of course Madi said sure. She did fantastic. She hit 5-6 in the last 2 games. The coach came up to me afterwards and said of course we don't want to put any pressure on her, just a little...as she stretched out her arms...lol! Code Red actually asked Madi to join their team on a full time basis as well. I am happy for Madi. It's good to feel wanted. And she should!

As far as UNLV softball goes. They are going to be good this year. All of their key players are healthy. They have so many juniors and seniors, who are ready to get it done. On Saturday, we competed decently with them. Sunday was a different story. They played SUU before they played us and we sat and watched them just kill the ball. They scored about 15 runs with tons of homeruns. Well let's just say that they continued that same hitting right into our game. In the first inning they had a 3 run homer, and a grand slam before we had an out!!

Weekly Update!

Just a few comments to update my viewers. We weighed in again today, and Miah lost another 3.4 pounds....for a grand total of 27 pounds. Yipee, amazing, WOW!!
The next issue is the nasty picture that I put on my blog. I kind of regret even giving it "air time". I think I am going to delete it after today, because it's nothing I want on there forever. I just thought people should still be aware of the nastiness that is still in some people's hearts. My friend, Laurie, brought up a good point....Now imagine that if the only Presidents we have ever had were all black. Then all of a sudden, a white guy was running. You better believe that would catch our attention. We would be inclined to see what he has to say and what his views are. So maybe the idea of saying that we shouldn't vote for someobody just because they share our same skin color is easy for us to say, because we have always had someone in the White House who looked just like us. Please don't be quick to say, "no thats not true." As christians we should remember that there is one race, the human race! Amen!

Miah Piah For Fiah!!

BEFORE AFTER
About 10 weeks ago, Miah and I joined Weight Watchers. I was so nervous about taking her. My ultimate fear was that she would have to say that I have been on diets since I was 10 years old. I also didn't want her to ever think that my love for her was conditional. Charles and I were however, concerned about her health. When I told her about the WW program she seemed eager to try it. She has consistently lost weight each and every week. The Friday morning class that we attend treats her like a super star! They are all so proud of her, and actually have said that she is their inspiration. She has learned what she can eat, and how to work the program for herself. She plans for special occasions, and puts me to shame with her willpower. She has lost 23.6 pounds and counting. It's been great to see her confidence soar. Miah keeps me going. Usually by now I have quit WW. But I know that my little girls health is dependent on me. That can feel heavy sometimes, but what about being a mom isn't? She has about 15 more lbs. to get to her goal weight. I have about ____ more lbs. to get to mine! LOL!

Tough Decisions


Madi has been on the "Lil Rebels" softball team for a long time. We made the decision as a family that it was time for her to maybe go in a different direction. As of last night she has quit the team. I know that she is going through a lot. Some of her teammates are saying to her that she is being selfish, and only thinking about herself. I know this makes her sad, because that was not her intentions. There were some miscommunications between us and the coach. I get so tired of the "drama" that is involved with softball. It's been going on since before I played, and I am sure it will continue to go on. Bottom line, she is a great player, and I don't want anyone to take her love for the game away. If anyone has some supportive comments for her, I am sure she would appreciate them.

What changes are YOU making?

With the economy at an all time low, I find myself brainstorming ways that I can cut our monthly expenses. Everytime I turn on the TV, I see another professional giving their tips. But sometimes, they just seem to far "out there" somehow. So I was just wondering what practical advise my blogger friends had to offer. Shannon make sure to tell Beckie to read this blog and comment. I have a feeling she might have an idea or two!

BLOG CONFUSION?

I know that many of my blog entries are not that exciting. They are not changing the world or anything like that. Those of you who blog, know first hand, that comments put a smile on your face. I am full of smiles after my last blog entry. I mean, I have written things about racism, religion, politics, and sure I get a few comments....But now, I write about Fiber Ones bars, and 13 comments...Count em' people 13! Thanks Laurie, for the simple fact that these yummy bars make you regular. It has meant many comments for me. Maybe, y'all are just full of it! LOL!

Fiber One Bars!


A certain friend of mine, who will remain nameless, was thanking me today for introducing her to the delicious, and oh so nutricious, Fiber One Bars! First of all we both agree that they are yummy! But, Laurie, (oops wasn't suppose to say her name. Lol!) says that she is very excited because she is now pooping at least twice a day. I told her thanks for sharing and that maybe I would write about it on my blog. She said, go ahead, no shame, in my game! So hear I am, telling yall. Ha! They really are worth trying. I love them for a snack that I can carry in my purse, and pull out when I need that little something! Love ya Laurie, and your regular bowels!!!

Our New Purchase!

We made a new purchase! With gas prices as crazy as they are, it might seem a bit crazy, I know. However, we have been driving an Expedition, so we are used to it. Our Expedition is a 2000 and getting up in miles. The girls are excited about it, because the middle row has captains chairs. So now, they don't have to touch!!! Yipee!!!! For right now, my hubby is going to drive it the most, becasue my kids are slobs, and we don't need them dirtying up the new car. Well, it's not new, but new to us. It's a 2004. We look forward to many happy road trips!

ALL ABOUT MY NANNY!

The BEST part about GGW every year, is spending time with my Nanny. We all spoil her, and pamper her, and she loves every minute. This year my cousin Allison put together a scrap book for her. A few months ago, Alli asked us to write down some of our favorite memories about Nanny. She put it all together with pictures in a book. Then one night, we all gathered around with tissue, and listened as one by one we read aloud what we each had written. This is what I wrote:

My dear, sweet, precious, Nanny! Having you as my Nanny, is the one of my greatest treasures in life. Every time I look at you my heart melts, and I begin to smile. You have always been there for me, with your sweet concern, and unending support. I remember when I first met Charles, and finally brought some color into this family! LOL! You trusted me and my decision making. You weren't judgmental, just concerned. I was thankful to have your blessing, it meant the world to me. When Charles and I got engaged, I just knew that I wanted you to play a special part in my wedding. I was so lucky to have you stand up and honor the both of us, by reading the special poem. Whenever I watch my wedding video, I always tear up when I see you. You looked beautiful! You got a bit choked up when you were reading it, and it gets me everytime!
One of the other many blessing in my life, are the examples of marriage that surround me. You and Papa, as well as my own parents are true examples. I have been married long enough now to know the "realness" of life, and the fact that marriage isn't easy. I know that you have been thru both good times and bad, yet you have held on. I appreciate it, I respect it, and I thank you for it.
I don't think any of the grandkids will ever forget the good times at the Ventura Apartments. That was the coolest place to visit ever. I loved playing "office" in your office! I loved the pool, and the Pac-Man game. Going to the ice-cream place and playing more video-games, was always a great time. I don't think either of us will ever forget the story about the egg-plant. I always get a great chuckle when I think about that, and what a loser I was. LOL!
Another blessing that I don't take for granted.....is the fact that you are such a cute dresser. I mean some Gramdmas are decked out in polyester, and orthodics.....but not my Nanny! You just out dress me for every occasion, and that is really okay with me. I love watching your cute little bootie in your jeans. Then when you add the adorable shoes, and accesorize so adorably, it's just over the top!
Your spaghetti is another blessing in my life. I don't get to eat it very often, but when I do.....ooooh baby!
Thank you for always remembering my birthday, my kids b-days, my hubby's b-day! It means a lot to me. I love looking at your signature. I remember as a kid always trying to copy your signature. You make the coolest, cursive,capital E. I think I finally got it down.
Some of the best memories have been over the last 5 years at the Girls Get Aways! It was so funny when you tried on my over the shoulder boulder holder! It almost fit. I loved your emotion and excitement when you found out we were going to the Braves game. Most of all, I look forward to this years weekend and many, many, more to come.
I love you Nanny with all my heart! Thank you for always loving me. The greatest gift and blessing you have ever given me, is my mom. I love you both very much!


I don't have any pictures of myself when I was reading mine, but I was crying pretty hard. Nanny was crying, the whole bunch of us were! It was a memory I will never forget. Thanks Allison for thinking of that wonderful idea.


My Aunt Patty had this picture of my Nanny blown up, and it was on top of the mantle all weekend. Nanny thought it was the best thing ever. She loved it. As soon as she saw it, she teared up.>


This was Nanny's first glimpse at the book.
This is Nanny starting to cry as my mom is reading what she wrote.
This is my beautiful mother, crying, as she is reading what she wrote!
When we first arrived, our 3 hostesses; Patty, Emily, & Allison handed out our GGW Nantucket bags. They are pictured below. They are so awesome. They are LandsEnd bags monogrammed with the GGW. Each bag was filled with some goodies. Nanny is the best model ever!


LOBSTER DINNER!

Can you tell my face that this lobster is really freaking me out? Well, it was and I did not try it. My Aunt actually had a whole lobster for each and every person. The table was all dolled up for the occasion. Everyone but me, thought it was the greatest meal ever.
Nanny couldn't wait to dig in!
Allison bbq some chicken breast for me, and I was as happy as can be!

Well, that's it for today. I will maybe post the rest tomorrow!

GGW 2008- WAS "BEACHY KEEN!"

I just returned late last night from GGW. We had an amazing time. Best yet!! The food was amazing! The house was gorgeous! The conversation was hilarious, emotional, and memorable. I can't believe the time has already came and went. The first day is always fun. Everyone is traveling, and coming in at different times. But we get all caught up, give lots of hugs, and we just can't seem to keep the grin off our faces. I got there first, after a long red-eye flight, followed by an hour ride in a little 10 passenger plane. I actually got to ride co-pilot. I was a bit nervous at first. The view out of the front window was beautiful. But flying over the Atlantic Ocean was a bit scary. Once we arrived at the adorable house, I visisted with Emily and Auntie Patty, and then they let me take a great nap. It was so quiet, and just heavenly. Later that day, everyone else arrived.


Auntie Patty's house is amazing. It isn't huge, but what it lacks for in size, it makes up in charm. And the house turned out to be just the perfect size. Here are a few pics of the house.



The second day was AWESOME! We went out on a sailboat. Sailing, on the Atlantic, OMG! It was fun, a bit scary, and oh so memorable. Thanks Aunt Patty! My sister has the better pics of us out on the sailboat, so I will post what I have. I can't wait to get the ones from her.



Before we went sailing, we had all got dressed in white and denim, to take so pictures. My sister has those pictures on her camera. We were lucky, because she borrowed a remote control for her camera. This allowed us to take group shots. This is one of our favorites! Later that night we had a fabulous dinner. I don't usually eat fish. My Aunt was serving swordfish, and everyone assurred me, I would like it. I decided to try it, and thought it was good. I was such a "big girl"! The cheesecake came later, and thats really why I'm a "big girl!" LOL! The next morning, we played a fun game. Allison broke us up into 2 teams. We then ran around outside for about 20 minutes chasing clues. Kind of like the Amazing Race show or something. When we came back Allison was all dressed up, and had taken Nanny hostage. It was then our job, to "free Nanny", by answering some trivia questions.
My mom and Aunt Patty, and Aunt Candy really should have won. They new more of the answers to the questions. However, they failed to play by the rules. They kept just blurting out answers, rather than raising there Nanny paddle. Therefore we would get to answer the question, and they had just blurted out the answer we didn't know. It was fun! We then decided it was probably going to be the best time to go to the beach. We all put on our Nantucket sweatshirts, packed some snacks, and off we went.



I just realized that I could have the events a bit twisted in my head as to exactly what things we did on which day???? But it doesn't really matter! The next day involved shopping downtown. It was pouring down rain, but that didn't stop us. We put on our raincoats and off we went. Our main mission is to find a gift for our "gift exchange" that we do every year. Nantucket is more expensive than other cities, so we had to raise the dollar amount to $20.00. I purchased a Nantucket hat and tee shirt. It was pretty cute! My Cousin Jo got my gift. I got the cutest little night shirt ever. It actually said Girls Getaway Nantucket on it. Auntie Candy picked it out, and it is perfect. We shopped and had a great lunch out. I had vegetarina chili, and grilled cornbread. Yum-o!
My favorite dinner was the night we ate out. Its this little restaraunt that serves only one thing on the menu. The menu changes nightly. The night that we went we had; lobster fritters, with apples, and caviar (they served me Roasted Red Pepper Soup instead. We called ahead) then a wonderful salad, followed by the most amazing meal ever.....Beef Wellington, with green beans, potatoes, then dessert. I don't know exactly what the flavors were that made everything so yummy. But they were the best green beans EVER!!! The most tender filet inside of the puff pastry. We could cut our filet with our fork. The potatoes were yummy! The dessert out of this world. So after all that food, I started to feel a bit sick. I have been on the Weight Watchers Plan for about 7 weeks. To make a long story short, and not too gross. The minute we got home, I threw up my 90$ meal. I would eat it again, even if I had to throw up again. We all finished our plates cuz they were so yummy. Im thinking because I had only been eating low fat, and fat free that all that just hit my stomach a bit too harsh.


I will post more later, this is taking forever!!
