I'm back...at least for today.

So, I was at work the other day and my friend Melissa told me she was bored the other evening so she read my blog....funny I thought...I have a blog? Oh right...that blog I started in 2009 and haven't written a word since February of 2010. She told me she enjoyed it...so I decided...hey, maybe I should read it, so I did. I enjoyed it too...brought back some memories and inspired me to start back up. But I'm sure after a few entries life will take over and I will be silent yet again...that is until someone reminds me again that I have a blog. Well, 2 actually.

WOW! It really has been a year since I've written anything, and oh what a year it's been. First the fact is I am now divorced. There, said, done, amicable, relatively quick and all my choice.

I did do a lot of traveling over the past 10 months. After I got separated the girls and I needed a weekend away. We headed to Myrtle Beach, relatively close and I got a good deal on priceline. The beach was lined with hotels which takes away the beauty and mystique of the ocean. At least the view from the balcony was beautiful.

We spent 2 nights and when we left Myrtle Beach we decided to take a slight detour and went to Charleston for lunch.

The next trip was to Florida to see my family for the 4th of July. It is always wonderful to spend time with my sisters and my dad. The girls enjoy their time with the cousins. Kailie brought her BFF Meggan so she had someone to hang out with.


In August I headed back down to Florida..this time without the girls. Way back in a previous post I mentioned going to an open cast call for The Next Food Network Star. While at the audition I met some really nice people and of course we all became friends on facebook. Well...Aria one of the folks I spent hours with while waiting our turn to be interviewed, ended up being cast on the show and made it to #4! It was so exciting watching every week, cheering her on....but anyway. She lives in Miami and had invited me and Christopher, another FN wanna be to spend a weekend. Of course we jumped at the chance and headed to South Florida. We had a blast!! Heard all about Aria's experience as a contestant on the Food Network...we ate great food...and I got to go to South Beach.
Aria was a gracious hostess! What a great weekend it was.
Well, I will continue my travel tales soon. I must say it feels good to blog again. But like working out it may be short lived...I hope not.
