Back from the FIRM!

I'm back from the Firm studios in Columbia, South Carolina to visit the people largely responsible for my losing so much weight a couple years ago. It was great to meet all the instructors from the videos at the FIRM and the bodyFit studio and to meet all the great people I've been leaving messages back and forth with on the FIRM boards.

Here are a few pics:

Picture of the Week

Joe, Pam and I are looking amazing, aren't we?

This picture was taken in August 1993, when we all headed down to Disney World for a week or so. This was the morning that me, mom, Pam and Joe went to the Magic Kingdom an hour before it opened, leaving a sleeping Chris, Katherine and Lindsay behind. We spent a few hours there alone, trying on hats (apparantly) and going on rides without heinous lines. We were amazed just a few hours later to actually FIND Lindsay, Katherine and Chris in the crowd!

I must say: we did know how to dress back in '93, didn't we? And the fanny packs?? That's a look that should NEVER have gone out of style. They're fashionable AND convenient for carrying your most needed items (keys, wallet, etc). Perhaps one day it'll be cool to wear the fanny pack again...

Labor Day Weekend

Here are some of the highlights of my recent visit to see Kate (who isn't family but might as well be!) and her mom at their house in Callicoon (let's just say we had a little too much fun with the camera feature on my work computer!):


Me and Kate, looking attractive as ever.


Hats are amazing.

A picture I took on the porch - I just like it!

Monday the family was at Pam's for a Labor Day dinner - and we saw all of Katherine's fabulous photos from France, which will be up here soon... along with the videos!

Bonjour!

I'm back from France and it was absolutely amazing. I stayed in Cannes in the South of France for 4 days and stayed in Paris for 3. Hopefully, I will be sending Pres. Bort photos soon if someone decides to email them to me anytime soon (I'm seriously getting frustrated. I want those damn pics!). Anyway, I'm sorry to say that summer is coming to an end. We should definitely take some pictures to add to the family website on labor day though.
Au revoir!
