Today I am grateful for the fact...

...that I have no scale in my home!  Yes, I am home and finally back in the blog-o-sphere.  A bit heftier, altho much happier for the experience of my latest venture.  Wanted to put up a quick post to say Hola, Buon Giorno, Bonjour and "What's Up?" to everyone.

So much to tell you about, and show you.  But until I get myself re-organized I wanted to share a few small things I learned.  If you travel and learn nothing, then what's the point?

1.  I learned that if you don't push yourself, you'll never know what you are truly capable of.  AND...I also learned that I SHOULD have adjusted my shutter speed better.  Oh yeah, AND that Thing #1 is a weenie and wouldn't jump this close to the edge...

2.  I learned that Cava Sangria is my new "go-to" summer drink of choice...

3.   I learned that altho the rest of my family thoroughly enjoyed eggs on their pizza, I was not a fan.  HOWEVER, Jamon Iberico and capers were a winning combo for me...

4.  I learned that even tho I have banished scales from my kingdom,  I KNOW I currently feel like porker and need to get back to the gym to shed all my recent indulgences (altho, it was TOTALLY worth it) ...

Feels good to be home again.  Wiser, happier and a bit chunkier.  Now, off to do mountains of laundry (who am I kidding?  I have two weeks worth of reality tv shows to catch up on).

  1. Welcome back, Kathy! And a vacation is not worthy, in my opinion, if some additional poundage from delicious food is not a part of it. I look forward to your photos! And egg on pizza? No...just no! lol :)

  2. Well, it's about time. Were you gone like a month, haha. First, I like the bit of blur in the picture. Second, no, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be a fan of egg on my pizza for sure and people all over Chicago are shaking their heads...

  8. Welcome back! Icould do eggs on my pizza...but ONLY if they were scrambled. Runny yolks on anything turn my stomach. What a great trip and good for you for jumping!!
