Major decorating changes at our house. We have lived in our home for 4 years now and I have fought Steve on adding a TV over our fireplace in the living room. Really, we have a media room with a TV the size of a movie theatre screen so I just didn't see the need to add one over the mantle as I felt it would detract fron the beautiful molding. Not to mention we have a TV in the kitchen which buts up to the living room! (plus we have one in the media room, one in each of the 3 bedrooms and 1 in my office....enough TV's you think?) Anyway, after much thought, I decided that a TV really was needed in the living room as there are times we want to watch TV downstairs and the little TV in the kitchen just doesn't cut it. The following are a few pics of the living room before and after TV!
For all you Disney fans, we now have our own 'Hidden Mickey'!
TV looks small but its a 50 inch! Notice Brutus on the couch? We have invaded his space!
My sister and niece were with us from Friday until Sunday and then they headed over to Disney for the week. I was on the fence about whether to join them for a day or so but every time I spoke to her she told me how 'packed' the parks were due to Spring break. That did it! I love me my sis but I hate, hate, hate the crowds at Disney during holiday weeks! She is a teacher and has no choice. I am not and I have a choice! I will be seeing her in a few weeks anyway so I'm ok with not visiting more at Disney!
We spent Easter with Peggy, my late fathers companion, and her family. I didn't tell Peggy that Sue and Elayna would be joining Steve and I so she was so shocked and happy to see them at her door! We had a lovely day and I enjoyed all sorts of Southern food specialties: fried okra, fried creamed corn, ham, some kind of pineapple salad and let us not forget the mac and cheese. Dessert was my Carrot Cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and Peggy's absolutely out of this world Coconut Layer cake. Oh.My.God!!!! Nuff said on that!
Steve and I love having our family visit us but its also nice when we put the house back together again after one of our Italian invasions as I call them!
This Sunday we are heading down to Boynton Beach to visit Steves dad and than on Monday, we are heading to Key West for 4 days! I am so excited as I've never been there! I am so looking forward to doing a little sightseeing but than just relaxing at the beach and pool at our our resort. Can't wait!
On the weight front, I am still holding steady between 137 and 141. I am back to my routine at the gym and I've added two 1 hour sessions a week with a trainer to help me focus on weight training. I am focusing on toning my body. I've been with Melissa for 3 weeks and I can already see some muscle tone in my arms! Yay!

I gotta ask...how do you fry cream corn??? Living room looks good!
Brutus seems to like the TV in his space...he just needs the remote. Living room looks lovely!
