Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to my dear friend, Rob. I used to hang out with him on Summer vacations in Florida. He and his brother, Jeff, would visit their grandparents usually the same time I visited mine. Way before the internet we communicated the old fashioned way, snail mail. LOL!

I am just glad we were able to reconnect after several years. He still looks the same now as he did back in the day.. So. not. fair!

Time keeps on slipping...

My days seem to be running together. The weekend was here just a minute ago!
Maybe it's the fact that I am no longer working.. or maybe it's just that my hormones are so out of whack that my mind is not deciphering time. What? My memory is crap. That can be blaimed on the pre menopause. That's my story and I am sticking to it!

We finally are the proud family to Belle and Cuddles. They came on Sunday. They are a little shy and reserved but that is to be expected with kittens. Belle is the more reserved kitten. She watches to see how Cuddles will react first to see whether or not she wants to participate. They are slowly warming up and I am sure that Katie will be their primary target when it comes to the affection giving. Although I have gotten them to purr and quite loudly I might add. Jeff has taken some pictures and he will help me upload them so I can share the cuties with you.

I have been hopping around on myspace to relieve some tension from the research work I am doing for one of my classes. Needless to say that I have found two guys from years past that I never thought in a million years that I would ever speak or hear from again. It was a fluke really. One happens to be a boyfriend from when I was a sophomore in high school. He broke my heart back then, but that's what teenagers do. It's practice for the real world.
The other was a long time pen pal. I met him through my grandparents. He was the grandson to their neighbor. I had such a crush on him. We communicated by snail mail for years. All through my high school years and a year or two out of high school. He ended up getting married and needless to say that's when the communication stopped. It was always my luck.

Anyway, it was nice to see that they remembered me. And actually seemed happy to have been contacted. I have always been the type of person that I would think would be easily forgotten. I know.. I am way too hard on myself. I have communicated with them briefly and we have added each other on our friends list. It's just amazing how small of a world we live in that we can easily track people down if they have a myspace account. I am just looking forward to reminiscing old times. And in case you are wondering... Chris knows. I tell him everything. The good, the bad and the ugly. He just looked at me and said "Isn't that what myspace is for? to connect with people?" Such a smart arse!

We received Jeff's proofs back from his senior pictures and we have put together the package we want. With all that said and done it will cost us about $310.00. I don't know what mine cost way back when but I am sure it was not $310! And that was a conservative package. The top dollar one was almost $600.oo We should get them back in a few weeks. With all the money I am going to have to shell out for graduation, party, hat and gown... I better see some money fall from the sky. This is getting ridiculous... Next I will have to sell my body... no not for sex more like for experimentation. Please people get your mind out of the gutters..

She never misses a beat…

Kat is always on top of things in the blogosphere. I posted the contest for Regalo Boutique last night and by this morning she already had a post about it. She may think she doesn't have the skills to enter the contest but I know she under estimates herself. She is a very gifted woman.. I mean have you seen her jewelry creations? I know she has many pieces for sale although she hasn't been able to actually sit down and create more, which she does hope to start back up in the future, when she receives the official word from her doctor that she can resume. I really suggest that you check her blog and her jewelry out! She is a single mom to two teenage sons and believe me that is not an easy thing to do. Shoot I have one teenage son and I am already pulling my hair out. Kat on the other hand rules with an iron fist but loves like no other I have seen before.

So Kat, Thank you once again for your amazing support and thoughtful words. You truly are an amazing friend.

Just hanging out with good friends.

Yesterday the family and I had a blast with Kat and her boys. Every time we get together it most certainly is never boring.
Poor Sebastian heard the Ice Cream Truck and took off two streets down to get something while Chris and Katie waited at the end of our driveway for the Ice Cream Truck. After he came back all out of breath and enjoying his popsicle we noticed that the Ice Cream truck was getting louder and then stopped right in front of the driveway where Chris and Katie were waiting.
Kat and I laughed our asses off at Sebastian and on top of that when he learned about the ice cream sandwiches in the freezer his poor jaw dropped.
Jeff and Mark just sat on the couch playing on the Xbox for hours. I swear it's the age. That's all they want to do.
Chris told me today that we should have the boys spend the weekend with us sometime. He is so thoughtful sometimes. He just has the biggest heart.
I think we will need to stock the fridge before we have them for the weekend. haha..

Kat and the boys were supposed to come back over for a cook out but Mark's Big would be keeping him until 8pm and Kat's back was hurting so we decided that we will get together another time. Who knows maybe the boys can spend next weekend with us and Kat and I can go out!
