You can now subscribe to The Daily and get it delivered straight into your email box on the daily!

It means go SUBSCRIBE! Then you won't miss anything - because if you are like me, you hate missing things and have to be in the know (or at least feel like you are!) Ok enough about that for now. Just in case you were wondering about the travel proposal that I was working on to present at yesterday's IPC associates meeting. Well it passed with flying colors! YAY! My little Cosette is beyond thrilled - because she just "NEEDS" to go to the new Harry Potter's Diagon Alley at Universal Studios in Orlando! Yesterday, I also sent in my requested information for the featured post where of course I mentioned TRAVELIN' COUSINS - I will let everyone know as soon as I get word on the date it will be published! Ok, back to the site for a sec. I just luv the new look of TRAVELIN' COUSINS! It's so clean, crisp, easy to read, and navigate. We really hope that you like it too! And back off. I want to give props to Elisa for keeping up with her walking! It's such a great form of exercise and a great way to stay healthy! I personally luv walking and do much of it; but when it comes to me exercising... I think I am one of those self-abusers! "Pain is my friend" - that was what one of my class instructors use to have us yell out, over and over again, drilling it into our heads! I couldn't stand that guy - pain is not my friend dammit - it hurts! But to this day, I have been know to definitely just keep pushing myself when it comes to my sports! So that just maybe we can both don a bikini this summer?! *blushing* ~T | NEW LOOK FOR TRAVELIN' COUSINS SITE!We are so thrilled to unveil the newly designed Travelin' Cousins site today! Tanya and I did a great deal of work yesterday to update our look. There are still so many ideas we want to implement to make the site more navigable and enjoyable, and we will be continuing our efforts over the next week. Please keep checking back! I am just in heaven because it appears that Spring is finally here to stay, here on Long Island. Today is truly glorious. Makes you even more happy to be alive! While we were recently in Prague and Vienna, we did so much walking - I think we only took public transportation twice over the course of 12 days and a taxi once. This means, the rest of the time, we were hoofin' it. And I have to say, I never felt better. I actually felt firmer and in better shape when we returned home. That is in spite of all the eating I did and the decadent desserts I woofed down daily! So, I decided to continue the long walks when I got back home. So, for the past three weeks, I've been going on long walks every day, sometimes twice daily. My husband Tedd has dubbed me "Forest Gump of walking" because I just keep going once I start. I am probably averaging about 3-4 miles per day and I have to tell you, in my opinion, it's better than walking on a treadmill or doing some self-abusing workout tape. On a sunny day, it's a great way to enjoy and take in some rays and it beats walking all alone in isolation in my basement on the treadmill. I'm hoping it will result in some weight loss and a firmer bod. Let's see if I can get into that two piece bathing suit this year!! Now, out to scan more photos for the new and improved Travelin' Cousins!! ~E |
