I can’t believe that I let my friends talk me into going ice skating last night, what was I thinking. I can tell you what I’m thinking right now, ouch!!

I haven’t been ice skating in over a decade and was told that it was just like riding a bike, something that you just pick up again with ease, that is just plain B.S. I can tell you that. My back and behind are so tender and aching that it is funny and that will be the last time I attempt anything like that again, I should have listened to my “inner self” and gone with my gut feeling of staying at home at watching the professional ice skaters that are being televised right now.

My boyfriend and I were talking about what our dream vacation would be like, it is a good thing that we have basically the same taste in such things.  We both agree that we need to be in warm weather and near a body of water in order to relax and have fun.

We got on the Internet and started looking around and found a web-site Oceano-rentals.com that had some very interesting places to check into. One page was telling us we must Visit Las Palomas Rocky Point and after reading about it I agree that we must visit it indeed.

We would want to rent a small house right on the beach, a hotel room would be just a waste of money and we would feel better relaxed in a house that we could cook and do laundry in when necessary.  We love eating out, but not three times a day, over and over again, so it would be nice to be able to fix things at our leisure right where we are.

Last Friday I stopped at TGIF Fridays for a drink after work and met the nicest couple at the bar. We decided to share a booth and sat and talked and drank for at least two hours. I know one thing for sure, that I was getting a bit tipsy towards the end. Anyway, turns out they know many of the same crowd that I do. They are a very open and honestly pleasant couple and we hit it off rather well. They invited me to come to a party they were planning, still a month or so off, and that they had intended to invite many of the same friends we share as well. Of course I accepted, being a bit of a party girl myself still.

The kicker of it is that they are having the party out on a lake on their houseboat! Can you believe it? I can’t wait to go, I have always wanted to go on a houseboat. I remember as a little girl I used to fantasize about living on one, sort of like in the movies as in the old black and white, made for TV movie, about “Tammy and the Professor”. It should be fun, I’ll let you know how it turns out.

I remember the first time I heard the song Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer, by the Irish Rovers, man I thought I’d never stop laughing. Although that was many years ago and we have all heard the song way too many times I still have to giggle at it each Christmas season and Christmas is fast approaching!

I have had the opportunity to visit and explore a good many of the states here in the good old U.S. of A. but one place that I never had the chance to go was to Hawaii and honestly I don’t know if I ever will at this point. With so many people out of work and dealing with the horrific economy issues that we have been experiencing these past several year, I don’t see how any body is traveling, but it appears that they are. There are not too many people that I know personally that are able to do much of anything but work their butts off, if they are able to find a job, much less a second and third like so many people are faced with.

Anyway, that is a real depressing topic to be dwelling on, but it is certainly a reality. Sometime I like to go online and just check out places, some times it will be places that I’ve been too, while other times it is places that I would like to have gone. You really get a bird’s eyes view via the Internet, pictures, links, videos galore as well as write ups on just about every topic you would need to know. As I said earlier I have never made it to Hawaii and I love going online and checking out homes for sale in Hawaii, especially the ones right on the water. It really must be as close to heaven as one can get without leaving the United States anyway. And you don’t even want to get me started on places like Bermuda and Jamaica!
