Christmas in New York City is truly magical. Even the ornaments are bigger than life there.

I won

Guess what, I won the Kia Sorento Road Trip Contest. Wow, what a year this is turning out to be. I'm heading out to the local 7-11 for a lottery ticket.

Below is a the list of all the things I won, way cool, and now with the coffeemaker that I just won I can make a bunch of coffee to take along with us. What kind do you all like? I am in heaven. Oh yea, my sister called last night to tell me that my nephew (who got married in November) is going to be a dad. Oh yea, 2010 is going to be one sweet year. I think the tables have turned. Life is looking good.

OK, whose coming?

Won a Tassimo Coffeemaker-How Cool is that

I just found out that I won a Tassimo coffeemaker. I am so excited. I can't wait to get it and give it a spin around my coffee cup.

I won it from a blog called xiaolinmama. It's a great read so give it a try. I think you'll like it.

Happy New Year!

Made it Thru Another Holiday

Got through another holiday. Yea! I am always so excited when the Christmas season is approaching. I love all of the decorations and shopping for my family and friends. But then about a week before Christmas arrives I get so stressed out I don't enjoy it at all. Why do I do this to myself every year? Heck, it's just family and friends that I hangout with, and they don't care if everything is perfect or not. I really need to learn how to relax. Anybody have any ideas?

My Entry For the Kia Sorento Ultimate Road Trip Sweepstakes

OK, If you could take your family on a road trip anywhere, where would you go and why?

This is such an easy question to answer because it is something I've always dreamed of doing. In a heartbeat (if the opportunity arose) we would all take 3 months off from everyday life, load up the car and head out on the best road trip EVER. In the front seat would be an atlas to set us in the right direction and a good book on "the must see places in the USA". Each day would start with a final destination in mind (let's say Yellowstone National Park) and then while driving there we would stop anywhere along the way that seemed interesting. No definite plans, just seeing the USA in all its glory. So many people seem to vacation abroad or head to one of the Disney Theme Parks, but me, I'd rather see how our neighbors live and the wonders of our country, how cool would that be!
