I'm feeling the travel bug.

Today my family and I submitted our passport applications so that we can go on a cruise to Mexico in May. It's really funny trying to get a photo of a six month-old baby at the post office without getting anyone else in the frame! I highly recommend trying it if you can.
Then I came home and my closest friend had posted photos of her recent trip to China on FB and it really got me thinking - I have barely seen any parts of this gigantic world we live in. I have done the college European trip, several trips to Mexico, Canada and around the US (including Hawaii and Alaska) and one trip to Costa Rica, but really that's it. And that was when I didn't have any kids to hull with me. My friend is a musician and her jobs take her all over the world, mostly paid for by the company she performs with. That has got to be one of the best gigs anyone could have.
Is it too late to take up the piano professionally???

Everyday is a new day!

While I'm in the spirit of starting new things, I am going to try and loose 10 lbs in a month. What the heck, right!?! Well, I haven't started out perfectly as I would like, but I have restrained from eating any chocolate chip cookies today. And I mean the homemade kind too!
As for exercise, last night I went for a walk/run for an hour. However, midway through my workout, my shoes gave me major blisters and I had to walk/run home in just my socks! I think that counts! So, if any one out there just happens to read this in the next month or two (I have no idea how likely or unlikely that is) let me know your silly tricks to keeping away from the cookies and staying on track to do your daily exercises. I say baby steps!

Hi, my name is Maggles B Draggles and I....

am starting this blog today, January 5th, 2010, and hope to continue with it for one year (at least) so that I will eventually be able to boast about my fabulous bra-making journey that will turn out to be a total success and will have all the ladies talking! I will write more on the bras later, but for now, I will just sit here and learn about this new fangled blogging creature that everyone's talking about. (ok, I'm a bit behind the technology times) I feel a bit scared to click every button to move on to the next window, so this could be a long year...
