The picture is of our house in NC. Next picture is of D trying to get cell phone service. Nextel is horrid up there. The leaves were so pretty. The weather was nice until the last morning when it was 39 degrees. Oh, I don't think so - we are outta here! Off to St. Augustine where M took 4 1st place medals and 2 3rd place medals. The World Golf Resort, where we stayed, was very nice! We had a good time. After the competition was over we went downtown and took the Holly Jolly Trolley Tour. For $6 (m was $3) you drive around looking at old St Augustine all lit up for Christmas (and yes, I said CHRISTMAS! haha) listening to Christmas carols with a stop for hot cider and cookies. Very fun! We met up with a quite cute pirate and the girls took a a picture with him. Then we had dinner at a most excellent hole in the wall pizza place, the best we've had in years (still not as good as UNO'S though).
On Tuesday the Irish dance moms were treated to a concert by ANUNA, an Irish singing group. I don't know how to categorize them, they sing many traditional songs a capella with occasional harp, violin or low whistle accompanists. WOW doesn't even begin to say how phenomenal they are. It was mesmerizing. Afterwards we got to hang out with them for a while, get autographs, chit chat....If you can ever see them -DO IT! It was worth the 3hour round trip. Of course since we got to ride in a pimped out limo there and back....filled with champagne...great munchies...cool driver with ultra cool little doggie... Claire working the sound system inside..NOT she got fired haha! Ronnie was excellent at keeping Dante (the driver) on his toes..Thank You Maureen; it was bitching! Can't tell you guys any more than that because "what happens in the limo, stays in the limo!"
And then last night....I won $15 for high game at bunco! WoHoooo. Once again a great time was had by all and Darlene was chef extraordinaire! Good Eats! Which leads me to ....
A jenny update! Okay, so I haven't weighed in in 3 weeks because sick , out of town..blah, blah, blah. So in preparation I made sure my hair was completely dry, lighter shoes, same clothes I always wear( who cares if I look like a bag lady 'cause they are now too big) and I even cut my fingernails. Man, I was sweating it, even though I stayed the course for the most part. I did have a really crappy, ugly looking, tasteless, grossly colored piece of pumpkin mousse cheesecake in St Augustine at the dinner buffet (and man oh man was it hard not going back for seconds, do you think anyone noticed the finger smear down the backside of the cake?) and I did have the chili cheese with onions and sweet tea at the Beacon (last time I can do that as I thought the Jenny god had come to take revenge on my innards for that one!)So I go in... pee one more time.... get on the scale and SHUT UP!!!!! I lost another 3.2 pounds. Debbie, my consultant, and I are screaming like flippin' idiots. Rachel, the director, comes back to see what's going on and she starts squealing as well. Then another person waiting for her appointment yells out she doesn't know what's going on but it sounds good so she'll scream to. Probably scared the crap out of the chiropractor's patients next door. Who cares! I met my next goal of getting below 30 pounds. The credit card flips to a new statement on Monday and I am going shopping. For Christmas and for ME!!! yahooo...
