Easter Weekend

This past week I had four days off and I used them to the best of my advantage. I got out of town!


I did a miniature road trip to the Newport Aquarium outside of Cincinnati. I've been there before but I'm guessing because of spring breaks and the Easter holiday, the place was packed out! They had a 2 hour wait to even get inside the place.


So what did we do to kill time? We walked around Newport on the Levee and enjoyed the human hamster balls. Have you seen these?

It was $8.00 well spent. You get inside of them, they add all of the air and then they push into a pool so you can roll around on the surface without getting wet! 


Once the wait was over, I was able to get inside the aquarium and see all the creatures of the sea. Since my last visit they got a new addition of an alligator called Mighty Mike. He was literally over 500 pounds! Even though we had to wait a few hours to get inside, the trip was definitely worth it. 

  Easter bunny hopped by and dropped off some baskets! 

 I had a fun Easter weekend! Hope you did too! 

Theater Thursday

Theater Thursday is here! This week's featured movie is a little different. It's whatever you make it! 


I've been posting Theater Thursday for a long time, basically ever since I started blogging. So my question is... What's your favorite movie? 


I love so many movies but one of my all time favorites is, Big Business! 

When Bad Things Happen To Good People

Yesterday I got some really devastating news.

I'm at a loss for words. I feel defeated and heart broken. I've sat here and tried to write this post for awhile now and nothing comes to me. I still can't find the words to explain how I feel. I thought yesterday was going to be so different. I had hoped it would be then came the devastating news.

I can't talk about the circumstances behind all of this sadness but I think this is the most helpless I've ever felt. I don't know what to do and there's nothing I can say or do to make things better.

I guess I just have to try to get up and live each day and hope for the best.

Thanks for all the kind words on twitter yesterday.
