Girls are better than Boys... Nah nah nah nah!!!!!

Hello... did anyone watch the Preakness....

Um... hell yeah!

Can I get a... where's all my ladies at! *High fiving Beyonce!*

Did you see that Filly kick the other boys butt!!

Um... B and I did.

Yep! We sure did.

Way to go Rachel Alexandra!! You show 'em girl!!

Celebrate the small things...

Tonight was blissful!

An evening spent, grocery shopping with my mom, then feeding my little man and hanging out with my dad and baby bro.

For me, being such a family person, it really doesn't get much better than that!

Mr Man just loves being with Nonna and Poppy and they, equally, love being near him. Poppy will laugh and B will mimic.

It just makes my heart melt.

Now, I am sitting here, listening to the rain hit the windows, and listening to B sleep soundly, as I type this post.

Such a peaceful evening. Such a small thing, but such a wonderful way to spend a Saturday night!

David Beckham, watch out!

There is a new blonde bombshell, soccer star in our midst!!

A 1st Birthday Party!!

Brady's 1st birthday party was absolutely amazing!! And the outpouring of love that I felt made it one of the best days of my life... so far!

When I got to my parent's house, everything was perfectly decorated, all the food was prepared, and I was told to just enjoy the party. My mom, grandmother, and father had done an amazing job with everything and I just can't thank them enough for all they did!!!!

The nautical theme turned out beautifully. My friends were more than generous with their gifts and I am so appreciative of them driving all the way to celebrate Mr Man's first birthday.

It was an absolute blast to have had them there. And I am pretty sure Mr Man, could he have thanked them all himself, would've said the same thing!

Have you ever met a stranger?

"Nope!" Was my response. And that, my friends, is the truth.

My mom tells stories how I would just walk up to strangers and start talking to them and singing to them.

Last night, my girlfriend E and I went out to dinner, and by the end of the night, we had hooked up with this fabulous table of 5 women and 1 guy. It was wonderful to get to spend time with old friends, and meet new ones.

The DJ even bought me a beer, just so we would stay around and keep the party going :)

That, my friends, is a heck of a way to spend a Thursday evening :)

Hope you all have a GOOD Friday!

Happy Good Friday!!!

Got this from JulieQ and about peed my pants. ENJOY!!

Maybe I'm Ok?

With being alone?

There has been some adjustment, going from a 7 + year relationship to nothingness, but as the dust clears, I think this may be exactly what I need.

This coming Friday will be my very first weekend ALONE. And I am talking ALONE people!

Yes, I am having dinner with fabulous girlfriends... but coming home, later that evening, to a VERY empty house is going to be a sobering experience.

I think when you are married, you never really think about single people. I sure didn't anyway? I always thought their life was glamorous, in some sick way?

No one to have to talk to, or ask what they want for dinner, or cater to when their sick. But now... maybe its a blessing to always have someone to share your thoughts with, to have someone to get you theraflu when you feel like you are knocking on deaths door, or maybe... someone wants to cook YOU dinner?

Maybe it is a blessing both ways?

Eh... who knows.

Life is a learning experience (or that is what I tell myself these days, anyway) and each day is a new journey.

Sometimes its bumpy, sometimes its fun, other times it just plain sucks. But... there are ALWAYS lessons to be learned.
