Flea Market Style Give-Away!

I really should be packing...I know...such a procrastinator I am! Leaving on a jet plane to Rome soon and my bag should be packed. I have been hunting for my copy of Flea Market Style, I never thought it would be so difficult, if I had only stopped into my neighborhood Ralph's Grocery Store, it was there waiting for me all along!I went to Borders and B&N and Joann's and Michaels and and and....Ralph's had a few copies so I picked one up for you too! Simply leave me a comment here and a lucky winner will be selected on March 12th. I am trying not to open my copy - I'm really trying to save it for the plane ride - I think I might have to hide it! Buona Sorte! (Good luck).

Words to Live By


Life is too short to wake up with regrets....
so love the people who treat you right....
forget about the ones who don't...
believe everything happens for a reason...
if you get a second chance take it...
if it changes your life let it...
nobody said life would be easy...
they just promised it would worth it!

Talent

Kina Grannis, our local girl from Mission Viejo! She won the Superbowl's Dorito's music contest with her song "Message from the Heart". She has performed for us at our Relay for Life event for a couple of years. She's super sweet and extremely talented. Her new album has come out and it's definitely worth an itunes download. I love her video Valentine

Tuesday

Ciao!


I have been waiting at the mailbox for the last 2 weeks, very patiently for something very important to arrive!I have been waiting for one of these....mine from years ago expired and was never renewed...so I had to apply for a new one, but I needed it expedited.and now that it's here in my possession I can get packed...because next week I'm flying off to Rome! My husband will be in Florence next week on business and will be extending his trip so that I can meet up with him for a couple of days in Rome and then a train ride to Florence where we will spend a few more days. I'm so excited...even more so now that my passport is here!

A few more details need to be planned...where we will be staying but we have some hotels that were recommended to us and it's not "tourist season". We've put together a list of places we want to visit; the Vatican, Colusseum, Trevi Fountain, etc. Lot's of espresso, walking, shopping and eating are in order for this little adventure we are embarking on. Buonanotte (good night)!
