Alice In Wonderland...

In case you have been living underneath a rock, one of my all time favorite Disney movies is being re-released this weekend....Alice In Wonderland. Did I mention one of my favorite directors is directing it too? I love Tim Burton. So you put two positives together and that equals GREATNESS. So you can guess what I will be doing this weekend. Ant and I are going to be seeing it and in 3-D and I am so excited to see it. Ant and I saw Avitar in 3-D and we both were just blown away how amazing it was in 3-D.

P.S. Ant loves Anne Hathaway...and she just happens to be in the movie. So I think it is safe to say that both Ant and I are excited to see the movie.

Being Positive

Is it weird that when I found out that my aunt died I didn't really cry much? It didn't hit me untill last night...I cried myself to sleep. Last night my mom said something that broke the shell.

Last night we were playing cards, and I asked my mom if she was doing ok. She seemed a little down at the moment, plus I knew she has had a really hard time. She said to me "It has hit me really hard cause it makes me think of my mom and how much I miss her." That is when it hit me...I can't even imagine what it is like to loose someone that close to you. The closest person I have ever lost was my Grandma Woolsey (who my mom is referring too). My grandma and I were extremely close, so much that when she was at the hospital and in the ICU...she was asking about me and if I was coming. It was like my grandma knew this was it...this is when she was going to leave the world. So when my mom said those words....it really broke my heart for her. It made me realize how much I am going to miss Vaunda as well.

Even though I am going to my aunt's funeral...it will be good to get to see all my cousins again that I haven't seen in a while that I would like to see.

So see.........there is always a positive to a negative.

Love lost but not forgotten...

Over the weekend I lost my Aunt Vaunda. They found cancer about 5 weeks ago, and the doctor said that she might live 4-5 months. Then to my understanding that they found more cancer in more places, so we weren't sure when she was going to be leaving us. It was just a matter of time at that point. So the week after we found out she had cancer, I went down to go visit her and to say our good-byes. It was very hard on me...I am very close to this aunt.

This aunt is also my grandma Woolsey's sister. So my grandma's sister married my dad's brother....so that means.....my dad's brother is also his uncle. hahahaha So this really has hit my mom really hard. She is having the hardest time about it (when it comes to my immediate family), it was my mom's aunt before she was her sister in law. So she has known Vaunda since the day she was born.

So when I went down to go visit and say our good-byes, I told my aunt...."when you see my grandma, will you please give her a big hug and kiss from me. I would tell you to tell her that I miss her so much...but I think she already knows." My aunt Vaunda told me "Yes I will" with a big smile on her face.

I will miss my aunt Vaunda and her great laugh.

Q:Guess what happens this weekend???

Give you a hint....look at what I am holding......
















A:The start of the World Superbike season!!!


WAHOOOOOOOOO!!!!! The first of the races start at Phillip Island in OZ (Australia for those who aren't familar with the term).


This is a picture of the SBK at the Miller Sports Park last year. They will be here again the last weekend of May........and yes we will be going (as always).

Pictures DO say a thousand words.....

I found this picture on my sis-in-laws Facebook, and it just melted my heart......this is my niece Maddison and Anthony's little nana. I have never met this niece, because we have not been back to New Zealand since she was born. She is such a doll...I can't wait till I get to see her and give her the biggest hug and kisses. This picture really made me home sick for NZ.

I have such cute neices and nephews in NZ.... Take a look for yourself.....

Bella...(Micheal and Kim's little girl...such a cutie).

and Thomas (Maddison's older brother, they both are Hayley and Damien kids).

This two pictures put a BIG smile on face.

Burger Cravings......

Why is it at least once every two weeks I crave a big fat juicy burger? Even on V-day, I told Ant I didn't want to go out to dinner simply so I can advoid the crowds, but guess what? That burger craving kicked in about 7 o'clock...so we ended up going to my favorite place to get a burger.....5 Guys Burgers and Fries. Sure it isn't the most romantic dinner for V-day, but to me...I was in heaven. I love that place, and with there cajun fries....you can not go wrong! So it is that time of the week for me....I am craving a burger and bad. I found the only way to get rid of a craving it to give in. Sure you can try to find something to subsittute for it, but lets be honest here...that never works. So rather than eating all those calories to make up for the craving...I think I am going to tough it out and just go get the dang burger (sometime in the next couple of days). ha ha ha
Good thing Zumba kicked my butt last night...then I won't feel so bad eating so crappy.

To my hubby....

I love you so much. Thank you for making me happy.
