Tuesday, November 30th.

Ran out for a little bit tonight. Although I'm not feeling well, it was a nice escape from reality for a little bit.
Some major stuff happening right now that both scary and upsetting. I am praying that things will be okay. :(
Busy day at work, but I successfully got my projects done, and will be taking a deep breath and take a day off, away from the office tomorrow. I have so much I need to do, but we'll see what I can accomplish.

Christmas. I'm just not feeling it this year. I hope I perk up a bit. I want to be in the spirit, and be excited about the holidays, but I'm just not. I hate that. I know it's still special to the kids, so I'm really trying not to be a total downer!

I don't have a lot more to say tonight. I just hope that things come together, and everything will be okay.

Goodnight.

Missing Bermuda a lot

The Unfinished Church - Bermuda

Forgiving does not erase the bitter past.
A healed memory is not a deleted memory.
Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember.
We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future.

Funny...

Monday's Thought Provoking Question

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRANDON!

16 !

I wish I had a better memory. That's all I wanted to say.

16 YEARS AGO TODAY

I was preparing for my trip to Saint Mary's Hospital in Langhorne, PA to give birth to my first child. It was scheduled since he was almost 2 weeks over due and getting way to big for me to handle :)
I can't believe that was 16 years ago. My boy. I love him so much. Having him was scary, but it was also the first time I ever realized the meaning of true, unconditional love.
So tomorrow we'll all get together and celebrate Brandon's Birthday. :) I look forward to that!

This has been an interesting weekend.

I was happy to be warm and cozy in my house on black Friday. There's no way you'll ever see me out there shopping on that crazy day of the year. People are so pushy and mean. I can't stand it! I'd much rather pay a few extra bucks to avoid the crazy people. It really should be called "me me me" day. A day for people to get out there and show the world just how rude, pushy, ignorant, and all about themselves, they can be!

It was so nice seeing my Granny. She is so precious and beautiful to me. I can't believe that she's 89, and she still gets dressed up on Thanksgiving.... high heels and all. And not dated stuff. She's the most in fashion 89 year old woman I have ever seen. She's amazing. I can only hope and pray that I can be as fortunate as her when I get older....

So many random thoughts this morning. I am all over the place with my thoughts.

Maybe this is the best time to put the computer down and get moving.

Happy Sunday

A good thought provoking question

Hello Again!

So much said, in so few words.

Time it was, and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence, a time of confidences
Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you

OCTOBER 2010 LONG ISLAND

CELEBRATING KAREN'S 50TH BIRTHDAY!!!

HASH RUN - CAMP OUT - JULY 2010

This is a picture of me and one of my favorite sexy dominatrix girls :) LOVE her.

Have you ever heard of a "Hash Run"? Well, over the summer I went on my first one, and absolutely LOVED it. It was one of the most fun experiences I've ever had, with a group of amazingly fun people. And, we camped out in a tent which was huge for me. Not because I'm opposed to camping, but just because I haven't done it since I was like 6. :) I didn't sleep a wink, but I still enjoyed being in the environment, and trying it all out.

I admit, the weather was a bit hot (like a million degrees out), and I spent the entire day sweating my ass off.... BUT, that's partially because I didn't do this:

Some of the group decided to hitch a ride on the back of a truck through the car wash..


And.... Here's hubby ((after)) all cooled off (for the moment)


I guess they forgot about the soap, and the hot water wash that shoots out. Apparently they were still a lot cooler than us!

I guess I always could have taken the easy way out at times and taken a free ride like this guy did:

BUT he took a few hard falls out of that shopping cart, and I'm not sure I would have handled it as well as he did :)

And then there was Hollie. I think she got a little overheated. Here she is lying on the street. Thank goodness this town isn't as crowded as the town I live in.


Can you believe he hashed through town like this??? ((most often, a hash run happens in trails of woods)) NOT this one. LOL


John was one of the Hash Hares...
And this is how he was dressed for it:



Each Hash Run has a theme. This was Dominatrix / Submissive - OR Redneck.
FUN STUFF!!!!!!!

I have a ton of pictures from this, but clearly can't post them all. Especially the "Baked Bean wrestling" LOL!

What fun!

AUGUST 2010 CRUISE TO BERMUDA

August 20 something, 2010



I don't really know where the time has gone. I do know that I am seriously going to try to get back on track with keeping up with my life! Since I transferred into my current job (2 1/2 years ago), have 2 fast growing teenagers that need a lot of my attention, buying the new house last year, and every other distraction that's crossed my path, it's been difficult taking those few extra minutes capturing my story in a blog.

Life happens. It's just one of those things. And, again... I am going to TRY to do better. For me. Because I want to.

I look forward to more blogging. I've got a lot to say. :)
