Movie Week

I saw two movies this week:

Black Swan – Yuck! Grotesque; would not recommend. Of course individual tastes do vary!

The Tourist – Nice movie, good chemistry between Johnny and Angelina. I recommend it.

Christmas with the Erquiaga Family

Family time is the best.

Wow am I cute!

Duplos and Cars – I am in Heaven!

A nice, leisurely ride on a cool winter day

Mike and I rode around Moorpark, including the Moorpark College area, Rustic Canyon Golf Course and the Highlands where the Mirza’s new house is being built. It was cool out, but very manageable with the right clothing. Not a long ride, but I am getting closer to 1100 for the year. That’s a good thing.

The Decorations are finally in place!

We have been a little slow this year, but we got our decorations up. It’s always fun to go through the boxes and pull out items that remind us of people and past Christmases. I do love it.

What a fabulous day for a ride

Wow. You can’t beat the weather we are having right now in Southern California. To be able to cycle with no arm warmers, no jacket or no vest is absolutely the best. Today we didn’t even have any wind to battle. While the other folks around the country are dealing with very cold temperatures, rain and snow, we are able to pursue our outdoor activities. We even had our bedroom window wide open all night long! We are very lucky.

The beginning of a soon-to-be fabulously gorgeous tree!

The tree is up!

We got the tree up today and it is perfect. Now comes the decorating . . . It’s fun to have a live tree for a change. The smell is so nice.

Indian Summer

Wow, today’s bike ride was amazing! The weather was so nice, sunny and windless, that I did not even need arm warmers or a jacket. Even after not riding for a week, I felt so strong. If I can get myself back on track for losing weight, then I know I will even feel stronger in 2011!

Bill Paying is Soooo Fun

Although getting a paycheck at the beginning of each month is great, I always have to send so much of our hard-earned (can I say that as a retiree?) money to various recipients. I much rather spend it on my family!
