My UnBirthday!

February 27, 2008

….That’s right I’ll cry if I want to.

From this day forward, I shall forever remain 28 years old.

But don’t tell anyone, I’m really older than that…8 years older…shhhh….

Nicole (truly, Much More Than A Mom) was the first bloggy person to wish me a happy UnBirthday and to top it all off, I won her baby naming contest!

Yay me. I got an UNbirthday present too!

I have so much going on in my head right now…I don’t even know how to blog it all…

So, I’m just going to try to enjoy aging a little bit…Make it a great day…for me today.

Extraordinary!

February 4, 2008

You know, I don’t usually brag, but I’m a part of an extraordinary league of wives/women.

That’s right. Fussy’s new site has launched:

(Click it)

It is awesome!

Right now, it is an invite only forum where you can chat, vent, meet other women with similar interests and giggle a lot at life in general, not just at letting your husband keep his testicles. (I love that)

I just wanted to congratulate Mrs. Fussypants on her new venture. And if you want to be invited to the party, let me know. I can get you in. (I know the owner) Or you can see Mrs. Fussy and ask her too.

I’m sure she’ll let you join. She’s cool like that.

Good luck Fuss. You totally rawk!

If it weren’t for this coolness, I’d have nothing to say….

loveaward.jpg

Thank you Canadian Flake for such an honor!

You simply must go read the super nice things this woman has said about me. My family doesn’t even say things like this…

I truly am thankful.

I’m supposed to send this out to people…but honestly, I’d like to send it to all of you!

So, I’m only picking three women who have truly been so loving to me in personal e-mails and comments and just all around full hearted, sincerity…

Cate, you gorgeous woman you. I don’t even have the words to express how awesome I think you are. The way you spread love is infectious and I adore you wholeheartedly.

Rachel, you too sistah. I am always amazed by your heart and love. It pours out of you in your comments and in your blog. Ia m so grateful to have ‘met’ you.

Margaret, you have supported me in e-mails and comments and just by being so truly sweet. You make me want to fly to you right now and give you a super duper hug. I can NOT wait to meet you in person when I finally get to the ’south’…

Girls, you so rock.

Friends, you all rock, but it’s Monday and I’m still asleep from the crazy weekend I had. You can ignore me if you wish, I know I have been a terrible blogger friend lately. And I haven’t been as faithful as I would like to be in reading your blogs…I am trying so hard to get back into it again.

I love you all dear friends…

I feel pretty!

January 8, 2008

Thanks to my sweetest friend Chelle.

See that new image header?

She designed it! And I adore it. It makes me feel sassy!

She worked on the idea on her own and surprised me with the image. I am in love.

See why I love blogging so?

I could never leave. You all make me feel so much better about things.

And you listen to my blather. All my complaining.

I promise, I will snap out of it. But thank you for putting up with me.

I hope I can be there for you friends, like you are there for me.

I wish we could all have a sassy margarita together…

Chelle, I wish I could repay you somehow…You so rock sistah.

Thanks from the bottom of my pink, satin bra!

First of all…what Rachel said about me is amazing. Then I get the actual award. How cool?

Thank you my sweet blog friend. I am so happy to get to share 2008 with you.

Since I was sick all Christmas, this makes getting better in 2008 so much more fun.

I hope you all have a Happy New Year’s Eve and a fantastically special 2008.

I am grateful to ‘know’ all of you.

You are all Royal Bananas!

Chelle

Then, after I put this little post together I got a comment from Karen (She has a great blog title “Lyrics of My Life”) who awarded me with this:We met through comments and then discovered our connection in our love for the play RENT!
So, I’m going to send it on over to a few of my lyrical blog friends too!

MammaLee
Tiffani
Canape

Love you ALL!

Baby Boy

October 25, 2007

It’s raining and cold today. There’s a fall chill in the air.

I just dropped Fa off at school.

As I was waiting to get gas, I saw them. Waiting. In the rain.

Her in flip flops, him in the papoose around her. No hat, no blanket to shield him from the elements. Just them. Standing.

I had the heat of the car keeping me warm and dry. I had a full tank…I pretty much have all I need. Amazing how life is.

I couldn’t stand seeing them getting soaked.

I offered her a ride.

They were going to a train station not all that far away by car. But by bus, it would have taken three transfers.

She accepted gratefully.

I didn’t have the proper car seat for him so I drove slowly and carefully trying to gleam some sort of information from her and some sort of protection for us all from whatever guides me.

He’s a month old. She only speaks Spanish. Luckily, I understand more than I think I do.

The mother in me took over and I took her to her destination. I left her with my very best Espanol…”Vaya adentro con ese muchacho del bebé…Tenga cuidado!”

I hope that baby boy is okay.
