Monday morning

Thank you for all of the happy birthday wishes. You are all awesome!

I had a great birthday and weekend. I took the day off work for my birthday, I got my nails done then relaxed in the sunshine.

I got several nice gifts....flowers (beautiful), candle (sniffalicious), Ipod (wonderful, thank you Howard), cards (sweet), money (magnifico), and taken out to eat three times (superb).
Thank you everyone for making it so special!

I have never had an Ipod, this is my first one. It is so cool. It sounds soooo good. It holds sooooo many songs. Ok, I am a bit excited about it, but hey, it is my first one.

I have to tell you that I broke it in for the first time taking it to the gym on Sunday. I stepped on the treadmill, turned it on and turned it up. The first song ~ AC/DC Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Great way to start off.....then it was Back in Black. I wanted to sing. It gave me so much energy. I then started to wonder how other Ipod users never sing out while working out. It was a practice of restraint. The next song...AC/DC Big Balls. I have heard this song before, but it has been a while. If any of you have not heard this song before, you should most definitely listen to it. My thoughts turned from wondering how people don't sing out to wondering if I was laughing out loud. Just picture that....someone on the treadmill, just laughing outloud while working out! Anyway, it was the best workout I have had in a long time. That Ipod gives me energy. :)

Have a great Monday!

Yeah, that's right!!!!

Yesterday, after work, I went to the gym and did my workout.

I was proud of myself because I increased my time and distance and worked it really hard.

I always workout in the Cinema Cardio room.

It is a movie theatre with treadmills, ellipticals, stairsteppers, and bikes.

Gone in Sixty Seconds was the movie of the day.

That is a good one to work out to, it has a lot of action scenes.

When I finished, I was sweating good.

I grabbed my water bottle and headed out to the main part of the gym

to go pick up my gym bag.

Then I saw a guy that looked very familiar.

He was big and tall.

As he approached me, I just looked up and smiled.

He said "Hey there baby, how are you?"

I said "good", then smailed big.

I realized he was Charles Barkley, also known as Sir Charles.

This is him! He was wearing a read t-shirt with no sleeves.

It is not every day you see someone well known.

I believe he has a home in this area.

It made me smile!

I think I looked up at him just like this!

(With my shiney and sweaty face...

...however, in this picture, I had cooled down a little

so you can't see the sweat that was pouring off of my face at the time).

I acted all cool though, until I got to my car.

Then I whipped out my cell phone and called Howard.

Well, I had to tell someone right away! ;)

It was cool!

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Big hugs,

Lee Ann

By the light of the moon...

The other night, I was lying in bed just about to doze off to sleep and I noticed the glow of the moon through my blinds.


Many of you may remember that I dropped my camera several weeks ago, so I do not have a good camera any longer.


The moon looked so cool that I wanted to capture my view.


I raised up the blinds and took these photos with my camera phone.


These are six different pictures all done on a separate settings (not in photoshop).


The moon is peaking out between the banister rails on the balcony above my window.

There were several settings that I did not use. Isn't that cool that my camera phone has that many different settings?

Have a great week!
