and ohhh what a Wedding weekend it was...

Went back to PA this weekend or my daughters wedding and it was fantastic. I will write a longer blog on it tomorrow but first let me just say... I MOVED THE DAMN LAPTOP!!! If you don't remember click here for my post on it. It was good for a couple of weeks and then tonight i picked it up & BAM, the charger signal cut out and can't be found again. SON OF A BITCH!! Ok - with that out of my system...


So my daughters wedding... so many great family members and friends. My dad and her father walked her down the isle 

which was quite fitting, since my Pop's has been more of a father to her in the last 13 years than her own father ever was. It was so beautiful and she kept it under budget.

 It was casual and relaxed but still on point as a wedding with place cards, dances and cake cutting etc. Family and friends (and me - ziti yum) provided the food and we had beer and wine and champagne.

The centerpieces... these were all Kelly - aren't they gorgeous?

 Kelly made all the decorations, I made all the wedding flowers, and we had it at the Clubhouse in the development she lives in.

Here I am with the bride and her 2 best friends - my otha kids lol you can also see the flowers here too.


Just a quickie for now - I will write the whole blog tomorrow with some more pictures. Beautiful, touching, intimate and filled with love. Can't ask for much more at a wedding.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentines Day- single and loving it, in love or somewhere in between...Somewhere, somebody loves you more than you know. Celebrate that!

randomness...

Random thoughts on a windy day...


Maxin and relaxin on a cold and windy Sunday. Getting ready to get a shower WOOHOO - I cheer because my brother fixed my shower for me - big girls should not have to get baths - ya feel me?

Have you seen the commercial for the Dunkin Donuts Chocolate heart donut yet? I'm sorry but if I open up my mailbox and there's a doughnut in there... I am sure as hell NOT taking it out and eating it. LOL Come on!

I am psyched for the Grammy's tonight and curious how they will factor in the death of Whitney Houston. I have faith in LL Cool J and know he will keep it on track and respectful. I would actually like to see him host the Oscars some time. Ladies Love Cool James - did you know that's what LL Cool J stands for?

If I could be built like ANYONE famous ...it would , without a doubt, be Sofia Vergara. not thin, not big just curvy! I think guys find that 100% more sexier than a stick thin woman any day!

Wish, Want, Need, Crave...

For me personally -


I wish...that I made enough money that i could pay all my bills and still have enough left over for food and a bottle of wine.


I want... a peaked roof and gutters on my house


I need...to finish my damn book, This is ME, Damn It...learning to survive and thrive with positivity.


I crave... Blarney Stone wings, mild, extra crispy w/ extra blue cheese please. Oh and a miller lite bottle 


I desire... a sz 6 body and perky boobs


If i could...go back to school I would in a heartbeat... and i would study forensic psychology


Since I should...clean my room, I will instead write my blog. (works for me)


Why I would...eat at fast food places is a mystery to me.


My heart... is in Pennsylvania but I love living at the beach so I am happy 

My brain...never, ever stops thinking.Which makes sleep difficult at times


My life... is in my control and only I can make it better.

My love... does not come easy, it must be earned and treated well. 

I miss... my peeps in West Chester, PA


If i didn't...eat fast food I might have a sz 6 body...see how that all connects?? LOL

I wear... flannel pajama pants when i am home. warm and comfy is key! 

yep - penguin flannels...right there

I eat... like a single person too much sometimes. I need to cook more.


I smile...a lot more lately than I used to...

I laugh... Loud and hearty and lately at my idiot dogs all the time. 

I believe...in God and angels and ghosts but question the idea of aliens


I dream... of winning the lottery and working for NCIS but only if Mark Harmon was my boss. 




The world in general...

I wish...that people would accept that gay or straight it's all the same love.


I want... a world where race, religion, and sexual orientation didn't matter, just the kindness in your soul. 


I need... to remind people that the size of your bank account does not make you a better person.


I crave... a world where anyone could get Blarney Stone wings whenever they wanted... yep still on those wings


I desire... a cure for cancer


If I could... offer every abused woman safe haven I would. Why can't the US do this? 


Since I should...tell every woman to get a CA 125 test for early ovarian cancer detection, I have signed on to be studied by a oncology group out of Philadelphia.

Why I would...take a job making less than 1/2 what I used to make is why the US is in trouble and no one can spend any money.


My heart...knows that at it's core, there is true good in the world.


My brain... suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder because not enough government money has gone towards furthering research into this disease.


My life...MY CHOICE! F U Rick Santorum and all the other republican bureaucrats who want to tell me otherwise!


My love... for men is the way I was born, not a choice I made. Same goes for anyone who is gay. Realize that people.


I miss...when the US had respect for the President


If i didn't... fight back, I would be a murder statistic, instead of a violence survivor. Teach every woman how to fight back now!


I wear... my pants pulled up, why can't the rest of the US population. (I am looking at you young man)

I eat...too many chemicals in food I think is safe in a country that should be doing better at policing itself.


I smile...even tho I have never been able to afford good dentistry -even with dental insurance. Wake up dental industry.


I laugh...at the republican candidates that should not even be able to run for dogcatcher , let alone President. (I'm looking at you Newt Gingrich)


I believe...that President Obama is doing the best he can with what he's been allowed to do since our party lines are so negatively divided.

I dream... of a country where woman and children are safe from domestic violence and everyone, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation or bank account, is treated equally.

Let it snow...

Our first measurable snow here in Slower Lower. Perfect! A lazy Saturday night in and outside the storms's a brewing. Love it!

this is supposed to say "YaY"... hmmmm

beautiful, quiet and sparkly! I know most every one else who can get snow has had some but here at the beach it's not that common an occurrence. 

There is just something about the quiet of the snow falling... it's like the world is hushed by the beauty.

RIP Whitney Houston...

Wow! 48 years old, Whitney Houston has died. 6:55 pm EST (3:55 in LA) at the Beverly Hilton in her room. They are saying no foul play is suspected and no cause was immediately apparent.


RIP Whitney. We will ALWAYS love you!

DO NOT MOVE THE LAPTOP...

Sooo my laptop charger doesn't always work in my laptop anymore. I don't know if it's the laptop or the actual charger and I refuse to spend the money to replace the charger if it still won't work.  And it's seriously pissing me off. 


I finally, tonight ,got it to hit all the right spots and start charging again and now i seem to have a laptop that i can't move... at all. If the dogs come near it and brush up against the cord i could lose the connection, like i did this weekend. Which means that i am back to surfing the web on a 7inch notebook that i use to do quickbooks for a friends business. Have you ever tried to use a 7" screen? When you already wear glasses to see??

 GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH


So now I am trying to write as much as I can while I can. Which means the book is taking precedence over the blog. So life, lets see where it's been going. I am still working at my job, 40 hours a week - still taking training classes along with being on the phone and the pay is still crap.

 I am having a hard time living on it.

i am counting down the days until my daughter gets married - 12- and until my besties come down to my beach house for our annual Oscar's Weekend Extravaganza - 18! Fun , friends and lots of drinking games...

Rainbow Shots

My new drinking fountain...

Battleshots... yes!

I will be trying to make this for fun and games over oscar's weekend. But we'll be doing shots of beer - we are way too old to be doing real shots to this extent. LOL

Yes I am excited about the wedding too, but I don't share a lot about her life on here - so sorry, no details. 

So now I try to get enough sleep since I'm getting up at 5:30 ish and i love staying up for Jimmy Fallon or Craig Ferguson. I usually end up stretching out on the couch to "relax" and falling asleep for a few minutes before I get up and go to bed. Sometimes it's 10:30, sometimes it's 11 but I am tired.

 I set four alarms so I don't over sleep and I manage to get to work 15 minutes early every day.

So as long as I can keep my laptop charged I will be posting a lot more blogs. They are all sketched out and I just need to finish them and post.

Hoping your January and February have been fun and full of love.
