Our vacation starts Thursday. We'll be driving down the East Coast all Thursday night, and it's looking like it'll be a fairly soggy trip. But not to worry! The beach will be sunny and dry and waiting for us by Saturday. Chair game, here we come! Last year I kept a daily blog sharing the "good, the bad and the ugly" when it came to what I ate and drank each day while on vacation. The purpose was to show you, my faithful readers, that it it's more than possible to go on vacation, have fun and not gain weight (or maybe even lose weight)! It was unbelievably popular with you all, judging by the hits I received, so I'm going to do it again this year, as promised. You'll want to bookmark the blog and check each day to see how I'm doing. There may even be some fun pictures (or two)! (But no speedos. Yikes.) And you'll find out what the chair game is, if you don't already know.

This year we have two beach houses full of family and friends (who will be given special code names to maintain privacy) which means there will be

Last night I came up with a great way to get raw, fresh veggies on the table without having to take the time to make up a big salad. I was babysitting my friend's daughters and had my own family to feed as well. Veggies can get tricky when there are five kids involved.
I took whole baby carrots and sliced cucumbers and tomatoes, then tossed them in a bowl with just a splash of zesty Italian dressing. Fast, easy and delicious! The kids ate it up, and best of all, it was easy for them to "pick out" only the veggies they wanted. They had a choice--which pleased them--but they had to eat at least one veggie overall--which pleased me. Some kids even ate all three veggies together. Gasp! You could sprinkle parmesan cheese on top for a more "grown-up"
touch, if you wanted. Cool, crunchy and the perfect side for the beef-and-noodle casserole I was serving. Try it. ===== I may be stretching my own summer out a bit, but the first day of autumn has now come and gone, and chances are you're looking ahead to the holiday season and 2009. Have you bought your 2009 planner or calendar yet? If not, give the Bizzi2Go planner a try! I mentioned it in a newsletter last year and quite a few of you purchased one, with happy results, from the feedback I received. The planner was designed by a dear friend and neighbor of mine, Tammy Matthews. (Her daughter gives my girls piano lessons, and we dogsit for their little pooch Greta, whom we looooove.) Tammy's planner has a fold-out design with big squares that lets you keep notes and lists and numbers and everything else you need right on your planner pages. There are neat little pockets and note pages that I use all the time. And the planner is sized just right for medium-to-large purses, especially those great hobo bags that are all the rage this year. This is the best time to get your 2009 edition, because if you order now, Tammy will throw in a 2008 planner. It'll help you "practice" how to use the planner so you'll be good to go when January 1 rolls around. Go here to order: http://www.bizzi2go.com Tell Tammy I sent you. And please note--I receive no compensation for telling you about this. This isn't an ad. Yes, I'm doing a favor for Tammy, but I really, really love and use this planner and I think you will, too. Plus, my dad uses one. He's 68, works part-time and is a military guy. So it really works for everyone. Not just moms or "bizzi" ladies! ===== Keep it real, and see you next week!
