NEXT EVENT IN: 17 DAYS: MEAN GIRLS ON BROADWAY

From Exercising to House Hunting and Shopping

Howdy folks.  Sorry about being MIA yesterday.  As I had mentioned last week, these two weeks are crazed with end of year and Gianna's graduation this coming weekend.

As far as today goes, it was supposed to be my day "off."  LOL - what a ridiculous thing to even think - I'm a mom - there are no days off.  And what's more, when I think I don't have anywhere to go, BAM - one of these girls has a job for me.

So, today, I'll be heading out to the gym bright and early with Gianna as she has been quite dedicated to getting in shape for the summer.

Then, I will hit the Vitamin Shoppe for a few needed things.  

After that, back home and me and Kelsey will head to a nearby open house.  I've only been talking about how I am selling my house, but alas, I will need somewhere to live, lol, so I'm also on a house hunt as well.

In the afternoon, the girls need to study for their exams this week.  Kelsey has all of her finals and Gianna will be taking the math algebra regents.  As far as I'm concerned, I'll be able to finally sit down and continue my beloved travel research for Sicily (summer 2019) and Amsterdam (Spring 2020).

It was also a pretty memorable weekend, as Friday night was Gianna's last 8th Grade Dance.  (insert sad face).

She and her friends looked quite grown up and had lots of fun!!

The JPL Open House & FOOD (lots of it)!

Good Morning (well I guess that all depends where you are).
I'm just the happiest camper ever that my body and mind adjust so quickly to just about whatever time zone that I happen to be in. While I don't experience it, I definitely do feel sorry for people who suffer through Jet-Lag. 

Happy Sunday to you!

We are actually about to head out and start our day. The reason I am mentioning this to you is because I will not be able to fill you in on all of the very interesting details from yesterday until just a bit later.
It's not that we have a crazy busy day or anything like that...     But if it is anything like yesterday it was HOT (see how I put that all in caps - means it was extra HOT) and since one of the things on our agenda for the day is going to the stables (which are generally hotter than other places anyhow), we are trying to get out there before the hottest time of the day.

And now a quick pic recap from yesterday (with details to follow) -

We started the day with a nice breakfast at Real Food Daily in Pasadena.
