This is the Time to Remember......

Slack, Slack, Slacking

2011-08-15T11:52:00.000-05:00

Oh Yeah, I'm a slacker. Not necessarily by choice though. I have been busy. So busy that I don't have a life. Actually the latter is true, the first part... not so much. I have been going to therapy 3x a week in the hopes of being able to walk like a normal person soon. Our trip is exactly TWO months away and I still can't walk for a long time. And to add to the fun, my Plantar Fascia is acting

It's been really quiet around here

2011-06-15T19:11:00.000-05:00

Wow! I cannot believe that I have not blogged on here in almost 2 months! I am never this quiet! Recovery is moving along. I am now out of the brace and am full weight bearing. For the most part, it doesn't hurt as much as I was told it would. Except for when I try to walk normally... heel to toe. I still use my little old lady walker but will soon graduate to a little old lady cane! In other

Time is going by too slow!

2011-04-24T15:42:00.000-05:00

Until the accident, I was always saying that time was just flying by! I wish it would fly by right about now. This recovery is painfully slow. Days just seem to drag on by. It's not that I don't have time to blog. Actually, like I mentioned before, I now have waaaay too much time on my hands. Not the kind of time that I want though. I want to walk, not hobble along in a walker or roll around

Too Much Time on My Hands

2011-04-10T18:18:00.000-05:00

So now that I have so much time on my hands, you would think that I would have more time to actually write. Well, although I do have the time, I don't have much motivation. The pain is intense and I am just counting the minutes till I can take another pain killer. Sad, but true. I know that people get addicted to the stuff, so I'm trying to stretch it as much as possible. But sometimes it's

Broken

2011-03-31T17:59:00.001-05:00

We all have take things for granted. No matter how little those things are, you will miss them...desperately! In my case, it's walking. Although it is not a "little" thing, it is something that I take for granted. Fortunately for me, it is not permanent. At least that is what they tell me. They better not be lying to me. Let me rewind to Saturday night. I was alone at home. Totally alone. Not

Giveaways! Ending soon.

2011-02-27T21:33:00.001-05:00

I have two giveaways going on right now on my other blog. One is for a package of Stikin™ Labels ($40 value). These are great for everything including clothing. Think school stuff and s]Summer Camp stuff. Ends on 2/28. I just posted another one. This one is for bra accessories from Exposed Envy. Functional yet fashionable. Ends on 3/7. Free stuff is always good!

Rant, Rant, Rant

2011-02-25T13:49:00.001-05:00

I don't normally go all nuts but this is my personal blog and it's time for a rant! My husband goes into fires, when everyone is running out. He saves babies and has even delivered them. He is usually the first one on the scene of tragic accidents and with his help, the victim may possibly make it. He sees thing that I would never want to see and others that I wish I could. He just took a huge

Hoarding much?

2011-02-10T11:12:00.002-05:00

We travel quite a bit. Since we do not sleep in our car, our nights are spent in hotels. Hotels put out these cute little toiletries that for some reason, I NEVER use during our trip. But I do put them away in my bag and bring them home! For what? I don't know. I NEVER use them here either! Maybe deep inside I believe that one day there will be a shortage of soap & shampoo, and I just want to be

Bucket List

2011-02-06T13:08:00.001-05:00

I'm sure that most people have a Bucket List. I do. Actually, I just started mine less than 10 years ago. Well, I always had things that I really wanted to do and places that I wanted to visit. But I never really sat down and wrote them down. After my slight brush with death, I figured that I should start getting some things knocked off that list. Just in case. Because, they are things that I

No BlogHer for Me :-((

2011-01-24T12:45:00.001-05:00

I guess it's not meant to be this year! I just realized that my final payment for the cruise portion of our vacation is due on August 6th. After much calculations and tons of head banging, I have realized that I won't be able to make it to BlogHer11. I was really looking forward to the conference and to visiting San Diego again. But, unless I want to live under a bridge and carry all my

Go Red for Women on Feb. 4th

2011-01-21T00:35:00.000-05:00

Here I am, once again, asking you to take charge of your heart health. Don't be fooled into thinking that heart disease only affects men. Here is a link to my Go Red post from last year. It also links you up to a short history. Today I would like to share what it felt like to have a heart attack. On that day, I had taken my daughter to the pediatrician in the morning. As I was driving her

Perfect Miami Weather

2011-01-15T22:00:00.001-05:00

Today was an absolutely gorgeous! Temps in the 70's, cool ocean breezes and clear skies. Who can ask for anything more? We spent the day at Art Deco Weekend in South Beach. That is the absolute best place for people watching! Fortunately, South Beach is very pet friendly, so Kassie was able to come along. She LOVES outings! We ended the afternoon at South Point to watch the ships leaving

I was born a Libra

2011-01-13T19:55:00.002-05:00

From Google Images I am not much into the astrology and I don't read my horror-scope every day. I am also not superstitious. But dagnabit, I was born a Libra and that isn't going to change no matter how much the Earth shifts! According to the new chart, I am now a Virgo! Um, no. If you have not seen the new chart, here it is: The New Zodiac Chart Capricorn: Jan. 20-Feb. 16.Aquarius: Feb. 16

Disney=Nostalgia

2011-01-10T14:16:00.001-05:00

Walt Disney World will be celebrating their 40th Anniversary this year. As of October 1, 2011, I will have been going to WDW for 39 years and 10 months! We were originally supposed to go for my my 5th birthday in Oct of '71 but my parents, I guess to let them settle in and work out the kinks, decided to go in January instead. I have seen some really neat retro 40th Anniversary merchandise, but

Happy New Year!

2011-01-06T14:51:00.000-05:00

Happy New year! I have been MIA and I need to get back on track. Sometimes life throws you a curveball and you need to detour in order stay focused. As you know, I skipped the holidays this year. The best part about that is that I don't have to take down decorations and I don't have diddly squat to put away! Hurray!! As it turned out, however, we would not have been celebrating anyhow. At

2010-12-23T23:01:00.000-05:00

Hello all. Mrs Krank here. Sometimes I feel that I have a sixth sense about things. Not only the skipping Christmas part of it. Because I still say that my decision was not just being grinch-y. But the feeling that something is just not right. A feeling that bugs you, but you just can't put your finger on it. Until you get the call and you say "I knew something was not right!" I got the call

Christmas with the Kranks

2010-12-22T17:40:00.001-05:00

Well, it looks like I actually followed through with my vow to skip Christmas this year. People were making bets as to how long I would last. They were sure that I would crack and give in to the holiday. But as of today, Dec 22nd, I have yet to put up one single decoration or buy one single gift! Yay me! My checks have gone out to St Judes & CureSearch and those were the only items on my

Viva España!

2010-12-15T19:36:00.000-05:00

In just 10 short months,if everything goes as planned, we should be boarding a plane to Spain. I am the planner, the Travel Agent, and the budgeter for all our trips. My husband just comes along for the ride. Oh, and he pays too! I am going nuts trying to plan this trip! My U.S. based travel is easy peasy. This is our first trip to Europe and it is really stressing me out. So many things

BlogHer or Bust!

2010-12-06T22:25:00.000-05:00

Since DisneySMMoms did not work out for me for 2011, I have decided to direct my attention completely to BlogHer '11. I have been considering attending Blogher for the past two years but it never really panned out. I am even tempted to skip this one and hope that it will be here (or somewhere on the East coast) for 2012. But why put it off for yet another year? If I can make it work, I

Can anyone really skip Christmas?

2010-12-05T14:31:00.001-05:00

Hello everyone, Scrooge here. Not really, I am the first one to say that I LOVE the holidays. I love the music, I love the lights, I love spending time with family & friends. This year, however, I am just not feeling it. Since this year has literally flown by, it feels like I just took down my decorations from last year. My girls are adults, so Santa is just a memory. Plus on top of that, they

All dressed up with nowhere to go!

2010-12-04T00:33:00.001-05:00

What can I say? To say that I am disappointed would be an understatement. To say that I could care less, would be a lie. To say that I don't wonder about the selection process would also be a total lie. So as you can probably guess, I am not one of the lucky Disney Social Media Moms attendees. Not for 2011 anyway. Let me explain how it all played out. First of all, I was at Disney World this

T-45 minutes

2010-12-02T13:28:00.001-05:00

As I type, it is T -45 minutes til the Disney Social Media Moms registration. I am still sick as a dog. It's no fun being sick while at Disney! I literally cannot breathe. I desperately need an aerosol treatment but my machine is at home. We've been here since Tuesday and have not been able to do much because I can't function. Fortunately, I had canceled my Keys to the World Tour for today in

Happy THANKSgiving!

2010-11-25T11:03:00.004-05:00

I didn't think that I would be blogging on Thanksgiving, but I have some free time while the bird is cooking. My desserts are done, I just finished making the cranberry sauce and now I'm just hoping that the turkey turns out, or we will be eating burgers. I'm cooking it an entirely different way that I normally do, so I'm a bit worried. Either way, if it turns out or not, the point of the day

2010-11-24T20:36:00.005-05:00

I have been stalking Twitter & Email in my obsessive way for weeks now. It all started back on October 21st, when I get an email that started with; "A little bluebird once tweeted..." It ended with; "someday, more hints will come." Since no dates were mentioned, my neurotic obsession began. What has caused me to get into such a tizzy? Well, The Disney Social Media Moms Conference, that's what!

Epcot Food & Wine Festival

2010-11-14T20:57:00.021-05:00

I started this post on the 14th and now finally have time to (attempt to) finish it!Although I am not a huge foodie, I always look forward to the Epcot Food & Wine Festival. For one, it's EPCOT, my favorite park. And two, there are desserts everywhere! Yes, we are not wine connoisseurs either. We just know what we like. Even if it is a $7 bottle of locally produced wine. I lean towards
