Living a Joyful Life

Monday Morning Gossip for 3/31/14 Saturday: I was just getting over being sick and I had to day off from work so I just spent the day relaxing. I watched a lot of TV & movies and read a lot. Sunday: I worked the opening shift and then I came home and watched 2 Lifetime movies that I had taped. I had dinner with my mom and step-dad and then I watched 3 out of 4 episodes of The Vampire Diaries that I had recorded on my DVR. I need to watch the last one.

Hip, Hip, Hooray... it's Opening Day! If you know me even a little bit, you will know that I'm obsessed with sports, especially baseball. I root for the New York Mets & the New York Yankees. I'm a die hard fan of both teams. In some people's eyes, this can't be possible. I have always grown up rooting for both teams. My dad took to both Mets & Yankees games growing up and I've always loved and cheered for both of them and this has continued into adulthood. Today is Opening Day for the New York Mets and I'm super excited and pumped for baseball season to start.

Monday Morning Gossip for 3/3/14 On Saturday, I spent the day at home just relaxing. I did a lot of scrapbooking and reading. I also had takeout hibachi for dinner. I watched Grown Ups 2 while my furbaby Pumpkin layed on my lap for the entire movie. I also watched the latest episode of Blue Bloods. On Sunday, I went to church with my mom in the morning. Then I went and got two new pairs of sneakers at Under Armour.  What can I say, I love bright colors. They make me happy.  We went out to lunch and then did some grocery shopping. I came home and watched some re-runs of Law & Order: SVU. I helped my mom make tacos for dinner. I Facetimed with my nephew M & niece O and my sister. It was a lovely surprise when they called me.
