Shea update and other news

For my friends who would like to be updated on my lovely niece Shea, and her ongoing progress, here is her very own Shea Blog with pictures and a journal.

She would love to hear from you and if you are so inclined to leave her a message it's really easy. Just go to her guestbook and sign in ;)

On another note....I finally went back to my treadmill routine!! This past year was the longest I ever stepped out of it. 3 months of lack of motivation. It feels good to be back in the groove again. I really forgot how good it makes me feels.

Well, I received my new car. It's an adjustment but not a hard one. The Acadia has more umph than the Envoy and feels more like a muscle SUV. Bigger tires and a sportier fells to it. It has a ton of really cool bells and whistles. One in particular is a refection of the dash projected onto the windshield. I guess this will give me no excuses for speeding now...lol The doo dads will take me a year to figure out.

When I first had it delivered and before I ever sat in it, it was involved in an accident. :0 In a parking lot with a parked car. The person who delivered it didn't see the little white 2 seater BMW (expensive) car next to him. The bad news is her spoiler is cashed and will probably cost about $2000 to replace (glad for insurance). A coincidence to the whole mess is the owner of the car knows Dean's daughter. The good news to come out of this is that scratch is not a scratch on mine but rather the rubber from her bumper . It came off with a little elbow and fingernail action. No repairs for me :)

This is what had me full of delight yesterday afternoon..... a little birdie called a ruby capped king something or other. He kept tapping at the window like he wanted in. As true to Colleen fashion, I grabbed my camera to get some convenient close ups of the little fellow To my amazement it looked like he was starting to pose for me. It was so dang cute!

I caught this series of shots and upon later reflection, I don't think he was posing at all. Is what he's doing equivalent to "flipping me the bird"??? I guess I should be used to it by now, I mean...it has happened before from my total addiction of putting the lens to the eye thing. NO I won't be posting those pictures either!! You know who you are...LOL

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!
My little Irish dude!
