Baby It’s Hot Outside!

Oh my…to say it is hot & steamy out there is an understatement. Whew! I’m not really complaining, because I am fortunate to have an air-conditioned home and an air-conditioned car. My livelihood does not revolve around the outdoors. I can’t stop thinking about those construction workers, road crews, landscaping/lawn care workers.

It’s so hot…even Churchill Downs closed for today and tomorrow because of the excessive heat. This is just the second time in history, I think! That’s big!

The weekend looks to be pleasant and 10-15 degrees cooler, then those unbelievable hot days will return.

I know many of my Cincinnati friends have been without power and I’m sorry! Hopefully by the time this gets out, power has been restored. Thinking of all of you!

A week from today, I’ll be starting a babysitting job with my two favorite little guys! I’ll be in Pittsburgh for just over a week as their parents travel for an early 10-year anniversary trip! (10 years married in November!!)

Now, some may think I’m crazy, and I may be, but I have got a week of fun planned for the three of us and I can’t wait. I know I’ll be tired; I know I’ll have aches and pains from the steps and playing on the floor, and I know I’ll probably have a few tears-with the kids and on my own, but spending a week with these buddies is going to be fun!

I am currently working on “Camp CeCe” with a schedule, complete with pictures and the fun that we will have. Katie has provided me with their schedule that I will work into the “CeCe” schedule! Meals, naps and bedtimes will be consistent (hopefully) but there will be surprises for mommy and daddy, crafts that CeCe can manage, and I have a few things up my sleeve to make those boys keep smiling while their parents are travelling.

Surely, there will be a couple of Facetime visits, but after chaperoning large groups of children, I know that kids miss their parents even more when there is a call…so we will do these visits as mommy and daddy need them.

Because Katie reads this, I don’t want to give details, but suffice to say that there will be scissors, glue, and tape involved. There will be card games and dice games. There will be balls and bins. So much fun…at least that’s how I have it planned! Oh and we will be having a birthday party while I’m there…CeCe’s turning 64 while she’s there!

Since I will be totally pre-occupied for the next two Wednesdays, I’m not going to post anything. I’ll be so busy with Camp CeCe! I will come back on July 6, with a full report!! xoxoxoxo

  I WAS READY FOR MY CLOSE-UP….   Happy Friday Friends! I had planned to send out my blogpost on Wednesday, as part of my “back on track” thing, but the information that I wanted to share was not quite ready. So today, a Special Edition of Martini Musings…just for you!!! As you may know/remember, I had a day of photos and filmmaking a few weeks ago. This video was an all-day production and I really didn’t know for sure how it would turn out or exactly where it would be presented. Yesterday (Thursday), I received the email with the link to a video that will soon be on the AARP Facebook page and website. In addition, there would be an article on the AARP magazine online, with the possibility of the article showing up in the AARP magazine. Because you are the people who have loved me for most of my adult life (some even longer!), I want you to have the first dibs on the viewing. This video is a snippet of my journey and why I joined The Ethel Circle, which is a Faceb...

  I’M BACK…AGAIN! I had this ready to go a couple of weeks ago, trying to get back into my normal Wednesday blogpost, but for some reason, the evening got away from me and my good intentions to get back to “work” on my blog, just went out the window. Let it be known, I’m back. This post will address the “Where have you been?” “Are you okay?” and “I miss you!” comments I have received from some of my beloved followers. My last post was at Christmas time over three months ago. I am so sorry! To say I’m not sure what went wrong would be the truth on some levels but on some levels, I’m pretty sure that it was just a time of being in a FUNK … F ully U nder the spell of N egativity and K erffluffing (causing confusion & disorder)! Yep, I was in a funk. Now those of you who know me, know that FUNKS are not my style! Trust me, I do not like funks and I rarely allow myself to go there. This time was a little different. I actually got into the funk before I even realized it. ...

  Go Baby Go!!! Yep…Derby week is in full swing and tomorrow, Louisville will become THE place to be for three days! If any of you are reading this and will be in the area…Welcome and have a great time!! If you want to have a mint julep, feel free to stop by! My week has been so fun and the events did not disappoint. It all started with Opening Night in the Turf Club at Churchill Downs. It was a beautiful evening with a light breeze. Our driver was very kind, but sadly, her car did not have air conditioning, so we were a little warm heading out to the track. Note to self…be sure to ask that question when scheduling!! After arriving near the gate, we enjoyed the easy ride on the escalator and elevator to the Turf Club where we were seated and greeted and ordered our first cocktails…a mint julep for me!! I have to say, it was a lot of fun and I think that winning a few races helped keep the fun going! Food and drink along with good people, celebrities and excellent people wa...
