I Love Guam! Part 4

Guam is full of trendy little shops and restaurants. Here is Planet Hollywood, but they also have Hooters, California Pizza Kitchen, Friday's, and Chili's. The shops reminded me alot of Vegas--Louis Vuiton, Chanel, etc.

This was happy little Mya BEFORE we entered the dark tunnel of the aquarium. She  loved seeing the fish in the gigantic tank.

Claire outside the aquarium. It would have been so much easier if they'd have cooperated and stood side by side ;)

A turtle.

Mya cuteness.

Claire cuteness. Again, I am mesmerized by those eyes. Gorgeous.

This is Mya inside the aquarium. THis is also the expression that she wore throughout her visit. Ha. I think the idea of being surrounded by water/fish kind of freaked her out (it was a tunnel).

This was one huge fish. I am not sure how old it is, but he looked big and nasty.

I love that Claire is finally of the age that she can satisfy my goofy requests. HELP!! She's being eaten by a shark.

Adorning the walls outside the aquarium where handpainted turtles. This was Claire's favorite. Imagine that--it is pink!


Claire and Mya riding on the trolley.

Claire and Mya in the lobby before we left on our evening outing. Notice the haze--there was such a temperature shift from the air conditioned room/elevator to the open lobby that my camera lense fogged.



Our one and only family picture from the trip.

I'm so glad you had such a great time in Guam. Your pictures are fantastic but they make me so sad because your girls are growing up so fast!

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...
