Tuesday Tidbits.

Yes, yes I'm actually posting today.  I've been a little "off" on my regular ...this & that... posts however, I'm trying to get back on track.  You see, I work full-time, workout and have Blondie'sShop...and to think no kids or hubby is added to the mix.  It's just me - well, sort of.  I've got Bern, my guy, for 6-years now.  Yes, 6 years...WOW!  I can't believe that much time has past - well it has.  And so much has happened but, that's another post.

This week I have a short work week because I'm heading to Florida.  Yep.  I'd headed to Melbourne, Florida and can't wait to spend time with my childhood friend, Jason and his wife, Brenda, and their new baby Ms. Elizabeth (not a newborn but, 6 months old).  It will be fun!  At at least once I'll be hitting the beach!  I cannot wait.  Last time I went to the beach in Florida was last time I was there at Jason and Brenda's wedding.  Come to think of it, I was also terribly sick with a massive, yucky sinus infection.  However, I toughed it out and had a fun weekend and a wonderful walk on the beach with Bernie.  On a side note, that is one of my favorite things to do at the beach is to walk it.  Yes, walk it.  I really like to squish my feet between the sand and walk in the surf and look for shells and just enjoy it.  What about you?

Anyhow, I'm excited.  Can't you tell?  By the way, I want to mention that I've known Jason for 30 years.  Yep, you read that correctly.  I think it's pretty cool that we've maintained the friendship and now it's a bonus that I get share it with his family, Brenda and Elizabeth, too.

Oh, and your probably wondering if Bern is going with me and the answer is no.  He's going to Boston to hang with the Boston Rox (it's a minor league baseball time if you didn't know) and one of his best buds, Bill.  And Bern's excited too!

And we are both thrilled to get out of the Arizona heat!!! 

Anyhow, I'm working on a bunch of posts on all types of random things.  Hence, the blog title "...this & that...", too funny I know.  I'm also going to do a giveaway on my blog!  Yes, it will be the first one and it will be an item or item(s) from my shop!!!  Not sure if I will pick an item or give a dollar value...what would you like?  Also, I'm looking to branch out advertising for my shop.  Any inexpensive ideas would be greatly appreciated.  And if your interested in hosting a giveaway on your blog please let me know (comment on this post or send me an email at hpranitis@yahoo.com).

I need to explain something and apologize.  Well, sort of.  You see, I've been a little MIA lately.  On twitter definitely but, also here on my blog.  Sometimes, I just don't know what to write about it or rather I can't decide.  I have plenty to write about.  Yes, I really do -- who doesn't?  This is my blog and all about me.  Don't get me wrong I follow all different kinds of blogs and each are very different and unique - at least the blogs I follow are.  My question to you my readers is this:  what do you want me to write more about?  Me? Travel?  DIY's (cards, knitting)? Fashion? My faves? Books, what I read? etc...  The sky is the limit.  But, I won't talk politics, news, or the economy - I won't do it, period.  I just want to know if there is anything I'm missing or something you'd like to know more about...

Alright, it's time to finish the day.  I hope that everyone has an absolutely fabulous day!  And I'll see you soon.
