bowling. a group of men were donating money

for our camp that is put on every year for children

zip code.

COLD.

godmother's duty




ten years ago today i became
a
godmother
i really had no idea
what that entailed.
what would i be expected to do?
would i have to teach her?
what role would I play in her life?
all this went through my head
i had known her mother a few
years.
we became instant friends.









after a short period of time
it was sisterhood for sure.
a sister from another mister.
instant mesh.
when dill pickle (name changed for privacy)
was born she was just beautiful.








it was special for me to be apart of the
event. let
alone in the room when she delivers.
I mean WOW.

a c-section was done.
and side note
for those who have never been in a
place witnessing a birth.
let me warn you and say

You.Will.Forever.
Be.A.
Changed.
Person.

it is a MIRACLE to witness such
a special moment.
i made sure to inform the doctor to cover
her girlie parts
(he laughed a lot actually)
we were asked how long we were
dating
(we laughed loudly and informed them
we were sisters)

the doctor then gave a warning
and said you may not want to see
what is coming up next.

WHAT?
WAIT?
WHY?

her stuff is covered right?
i knew she didn't care
so i watched the ENTIRE
process from cutting to pulling to
BIRTH
it was amazing.
saw things no women would see
unless you were in the room with another
it was crazy and amazing
just spectacular.
i was the first to hold my god daughter
i took her to the recovery room and watched
stood for hours and watched ever minute of
her beginning.












i can't believe that 10 years ago
i held a gift and precious
innocent life in my arms
as she took her first look of this world
she just entered.
she has grown into a sassy, beautiful, intelligent
young lady. I
couldn't be more proud.












HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET GOD DAUGHTER!

football gal

i watch it,
scream at it,
get eager for fball season,
cringe, yell at the tv,
and
CHEER for my boys.
like i own them or something
i have been a fan of the Patriots
for as long as i can remember.
i wasn't one of those that jumped on the
band wagon when they started winning.
i loved DREW Bledsoe (11) is/was
AMAZING.
i loved his character as a quarterback
and how he dealt with everything. classy.
when he was replaced by brady i wasn't a fan
i wanted bledsoe.
i also enjoyed the dynamics of the defense.
led by brushki, vrabel and the other brady.
have since retired and been traded UGH bellichk
the bledsoe/brady had great offensive
players assisting and making their job easier

embrace the camera-a lil frosting

this morning as i walked to my car
i noticed a lil more frosting (dew, condensation, whatev)
and thought huh i wonder
if those doo hickeys will work again??
ponder ponder pondering
apparently my car has a cool feature.....
yep my car is cooler than yours
deal!!

anyways my mirrors defrost
cool huh
all the sudden i noticed smoke coming from
the mirrors.
okay enough with rolling of the eyes
and laughing uncontrollably.

so i didn't know they existed.
at first thought my car mirrors where on
FIRRE


decided to show what happens when
i get way too much sun
or wanted to try the photo-manager
option

I wanna be just like her

over at the
LOWE Family News
Jessica (like i know her)
enjoys sharing and playing
a little game called
"WHAT'S ON JESSICA'S PHONE"
so i decided today
i too am sharing
and starting the game
WHAT'S ON GINA'S PHONE

lucky me, i got a new phone which
makes it so much easier to
share photos.

this is what happens at families house
oooh the goodness



to begin these next few pictures
i have some of the most
photogenic pets

introducing **
Butt head affectionately aka Buddy

oh he is just a bundle of love
unless your a black n white kitty

who enjoys a good romp in the box
every once in a while too

but how can you resist a good looking

kitty who has mastered the art of .......

drinking from a facet...if only he would
learn to turn it OFF

FYI I am not a crazy cat lady. lol

time to start drinking


maybe i should take up drinking. doctors agree that one 8 oz glass a day is good for you. so why not? well for one i can't stand the after taste wine leaves. maybe it is just me and i haven't found the RIGHT type of wine but it all tastes like bad grapes. am i wrong?

i have never been a "drinker" of alcohol even in my late teens early 20's. i am one to consider the consequences before doing anything, call it cautious or paranoid i was just one of those people. didn't like rocking the boat unless necessary and would not do anything illegal. . i never drove or drive unless i took not one sip. i am still that way. if my friend is to be the designated driver i usually don't drink because i know that for sure i won't drink and they usually do. so i am usually the DD.

end of tangent.

*post edited and update

FAT not PHAT

i have to say i HATE the word
FAT! i think it is a horrible
word and not because i am
overweight and have been called it
many, many, many times. but due to the
fact that it doesn't just hurt someone
it affects them by only 3 letters.
this weekend my nephew said "wow your
FAT"
after saying I LOVE YOU.
he is 4 and really
didn't mean any malicious or
being mean about it at all.
i mean how do you react to that
i did what i thought was correct
and really didn't react
and let my brother and his
wife handle it.
he of course apologize and
we all forgot about it
but honestly i don't know
why when a 4 year old
tells me i am fat. some
reason that struck me more
than when i am told by adults.
i know it is not a teaching of
my brother or his wife. he is
a child and children are the most
honest at telling you things of that
nature.

that got me thinking about other
things involving those who are overweight
or obese. such as
airplanes,
amusement parks,
clothing stores,
walking the beach,
swimming,
sitting around at a restaurant,
there are so many others. i understand
that obesity is a problem in America
and yes it should be helped however
who wants to go to the gym and
be laughed at or mocked,
it is an unjust world we live in
and people who are FAT are
discriminated against and nothing is
done about it.
it upsets me more than anything
the name calling, the remarks, snorts,
etc. no matter how thin i have been
i have always gotten the looks, snorts, and
name calling. it has made me stronger
but deep down i still want to hide.

September 10, 2010

on my desk.....

if you notice the Sodoku calendar is still on Sept 2, my Patriots cup is in my mug, papers are unorganized and really this is me being productive. organized. functional. it works.

normally i would have my laptop (from home), reams of paper, and folders everywhere. this is clean.

what is on your desk?

fiddler on my roof


my drink of choice. one that i will be saying adios to soon. i will miss this friend we have had many good times together. enjoyed a good laugh, cried a good tear and even had our heart broken together. it is only fitting i give a proper send off with the throwback gear on. thanks ole buddy you'll be missed and i surely enjoyed every fat deposit you made. but i must say goodbye to both you and those deposits it is time someone else found them and returned the borrowed ones to the rightful owners.

frisbees and lemon drops

my friends and i went out to dinner last night
and on our travels we met this lil diddy.

at first glance you think TWO shoes
but no its one. who thought to bring
back the double trend.









this morning this car decided
to go 35 miles per hour on the freeway
was there traffic, cop, accident....
nope just this JERKFACE. he then
gave me a dirty look when i called him a
choice word. ahh love freeways.










I affectionately call this one
MOONWALKER
its gold ahh

Saying Goodbye.....

How do you say
Goodbye to a friend,
family member,
or colleague?There
are those people who you
meet in your life you have
a kindred spirit with and
SUSAN is one of those
people you are lucky to have
in your life.

She is moving on and
she will no longer be the voice
of reason. I must again
rely on myself and remember
they are the crazies
who have not entered the new
millennium.

Luke Skywalker's automobile

Metallic Brown.
That is the color of Luke Skywalker's automobile
and the color of my new rental car.
Yep another rental car another day.
Hopefully I will get my car
working
today or tomorrow.
Can you hear it LEMON LAW
the gist of it is that I would
rather have my pretty pretty car
than drive around in a brand
new car because of a lemon law.

When I sat in this Honda Civic
brand new and already in an accident
I thought to myself.
Self
Luke Skywalker would totally
be riding around in this car.
From the crazy buttons,
steering wheel,
and lack of room in the back
seat.

I believe that if Luke was going to ride
around in a car
it would be this
BROWN HONDA.

Did I forget to mention it
has only 4000 miles
and has been in 2 accidents
already.
YEP DOS accidents.
When I got it I traded in a
craptastic KIA SPECTRA
it wasn't on the same level
as the PT Cruiser
but gosh was it bad.

The BROWN HONDA
had just come
out of the body doctor
with a minor scratch.

Thank's Skywalker for giving me
a loaner.


Requested in writing

Who do I ask for an additional holiday in between Labor day and Thanksgiving? I will of course put it in writing with all the Please and thank you's to follow accordingly with all the appropriate tootie kissing. I just need another holiday weekend before the dreaded HOLIDAY SEASON starts.

From the hustle and bustle of prepping for Christmas and then New Years. No thanks. I would love to Skip Christmas one year however family members will be non other than offended and may not speak to me ever again. Second thought I would save additionally on gifts. Therefore, I immerse myself into the crafting for Christmas and
  • Making special gifts for people thinking it is cheaper than purchasing. It's not. -millions
  • It is even more expensive, Millions
  • but seeing their faces when they open it=Priceless
So this year's craft will be genius and EXPENSIVE to pull off but oh so fun. I wish I would have taken pictures of past crafts for those precious ones who received a gift. But NOPE I am a dope and get so caught up in it all that I concentrate on the task, wrap then send off.

Did I mention I am still behind on B-day gifts. But I have started Christmas shopping already.

Dear Holiday giver,

Please and thank you for the future Holidays you are granting for in between Labor Day and Thanksgiving that we get off.

F'ing Friday


Happy Friday!!
Not so much.
My day started off better than this past week.
My car has been in and out of the doctors
with the same problem.
Look closely at the picture, the
ORANGE
symbol
yep that is the Check. Engine. Light. AGAIN
You notice that my car only has a little of 25,000 miles on it.
Not a lot for a year old considering I purchased it with only
ZERO.
I am so done. I have been very nice with the people
who work at Hyundai. They were very accommodating
but still couldn't find anything. Look I know
something is wrong, otherwise tell me
why the CHECK.ENGINE.LIGHT came on again?

I am livid beyond that and I don't want to take
it out on the people who have tried to help me.
Therefore I am reserving it for the manager
or the tech that didn't find anything the first 3 times.

Hyundai do you know the Lemon law for Cali? Do you know
that I would rather have my car than a new one? I love
my car do not prolong the inevitable. I will flip the switch.

FIX MY CAR ALREADY!!

Joy to the World

If you know me then you are aware of my
two very handsome, charming and good hearted
Brothers.
They are commonly referred to as
BOYS.
Growing up they were two peas in a pod
the youngest stood up for the oldest at
his Wedding.

They make fun of each other,
pick on one another,
will never say three words to
each other. But you can
tell they do.

They are two people
who in my life make it great.
I can remember each special moment
and laugh as they were growing up.
You could say that
I LUV MY BOYS!!


What a child's smile can do to your heart


When ever I see this smile it melts my heart.
She is my GOD DAUGHTER. I am
honored to be apart of
her life. And possibly teach her in some form or
another.
She is just the sweetest little squishy.
I have known her mother for many years. Each
time I visit them the time it
takes for squishy to meander over to
me is less and less. I would
give anything to this child
just to see her light up.
Aah the sweetness of a child will melt
even the coldest of hearts.
