This & That Thursday

- I got quite a few giggles this week when I was downtown running errands and overheard different people talking about Gold River Buzz.  I was standing in line, and one person asked me if I read the site! Too cute!  I thought everyone had figured out who is behind the site by now!?

- I’ve met an amazing group of people online from all over the world, and in the past few years we’ve developed a very close-knit friendship.  We got together in Rhode Island in 2008 (having never actually met before) and rented a beach house for a week.  One of us flew in from England, me from Canada and the rest were from all over the US.  We had such a great time – truly like old friends!  We are now trying to plan another get together for 2011, and we’re thinking HERE IN GOLD RIVER!  They have all seen my pictures of Gold River, and were with us every step of the way when we were working to get transferred back here, so they are excited to see firsthand what I love about our beautiful Village and area!  My girlfriend Claire from England has a real thing for ‘lumberjacks’ (as she refers to loggers), is under 30 and single!  So all you single lumberjacks keep her in mind for 2011! hehe

- If you didn’t see Desiree’s update on her Haiti fundraiser, the ring sold for $345!  I asked her if any of the bids were from my husband, and she said no.  Huh.

- We are still following the P90X diet here, but no one has turned on the exercise DVD’s since that first day.  I refuse to weigh myself on that stupid scale, but am pretty sure I’ve shed some pounds as my fancy sweatpants are loose!  My husband hates my fancy sweats because they’re red – he told me once I look like Santa in them.  Yes, you read that right.  Santa Claus.  If you are a man and are reading this, please add that to the list of things you should never say to a woman.
