how it feels to be 30!

Published by Al under al

much better than it feels to be 31! haha (that’s what you get Beee-ridge for telling me i smell like a monkey. i shaved a few months ago, you know!)

but i’m not getting a kick ass party with friends and french themes (j- were you wearing you’re little french maid outfit?) and wine and cheese. instead, i’m getting a few beers with a few colleagues. honestly, i think it feels better to be able to give my mom shit about having 2 kids that are 30. she really hates that

otherwise, now the day is here and it’s official, i don’t feel any different. sure, i’ve been dreading it for awhile and going back and forth with the emotional wrenching. i think the anticipation was the bitch of the whole thing. that, and that i’m spending it alone. /sigh or mostly alone. i do have my gato and beers w/colleagues, which rocks, but as i write i find i would really, really like to be headed to dinner with j, beee-ridge and stickEE (my gato can’t cook all that well). guess, ultimately, it’s my fault for moving away so eff me.

hey, it’s not often you can say ‘eff me’ in such context so i’m taking this moment to do so. take that!

anyway-
thanks to all for the cards and text messages (ho bag usage and all) and wonderful birthday wishes. after all, it’s just an excuse to talk to people isn’t it?

ps- bring it on 40!

One of the best birthdays ever… yeah, I said ever!

Published by Bridge under bridge

I just had one of the best birthdays ever!

Ok, it does NOT beat when I turned 17 and my dad and mom gave me car. A Ford Tempo I know, but still a car.

That rocked. Freedom on wheels.

Oh, and the year my dad served me breakfast in bed. That was stellar too. Who really wants to wake up having a box of Lucky Charms poured on them in bed? Not me, although my kids think it is hilarious. The night before my birthday they asked if I wanted breakfast in bed. My answer……….. NO!

This birthday was just fun. My husband threw an awesome party for me. A french themed party with wine and cheese. He even took the time to garnish each platter with parsley and kale. Yeah, you heard me correctly. Parsley and kale. He just officially won husband of the year. He also got me balloons and roses. Two dozen roses. I know he got them at Sam’s Club, and they were NOT expensive. I still love them all the same.

A lot of friends were invited. Most of the came. Some even drove for over and hour and a half to get to the party. I was very excited when each and every visitor showed up.

Yeah, I got some gifts. Have I mentioned in this post yet that I love my friends? I really do.

Jess gave me Bare Minerals makeup. You should look it up. Just open another window… DO NOT SHUT THIS WINDOW! Lol. Ok, now I am done pretending that I am important. Now I just have to learn how to wear this makeup. Jess, thank you sooooooo very much. I get to think of you every time I put it on. I’ll just try to put on clothes first. Then I won’t have to think of you when I am naked.

Poor Chelle… she gave me a gift card for Christmas… I purchased a rain shower head… every time I shower… yeah, I think of her. /sigh.

Karen gave me a book that she thought I would love. So far she is 100% correct. She also gave me a tarot guide. I needed this. NEED I say!!! Now I can learn all of the secrets of the universe. Then she wrapped it in the cutest box ever.

Loralee… well she gave me a gift card to one of my favorite clothes stores. She has no clue, until now that is, that I went shopping. Let’s just say she bought me some of the comfiest black leather shoes I have ever owned. They are soooo nice. Anyways, she seems to think she is giving me tequila. I may just try to bail out and not go to girls night this week. Thus no tequilla.

Yeah Lo… you heard me. I might bail!

You see I have this feeling that Lo, Chelle and Karen might be planning something evil for me. They might run out of time (I could only hope), and not be able to do it. /crosses fingers. They want to take me to Karaoke and have me sing Eye of the Tiger. I should have NEVER posted that song on my blog. EVER! Chelle had it go through her head all day I believe. /sigh I really can’t sing. Ever see My Best Friends Wedding? I am really that bad.

So I am… /cough /cough… um REALLY sick. Yeah. /wink

I just really wanted to thank everyone that came to my party, who emailed me, who sang on my voicemail, who didn’t sing on my voicemail, and who sent me a really funny card (Al).

Thank you!

It is good to finally be 21! LOL.

i heart peyton manning

Published by jess under humor, jess

yep, you heard me. if i could have this man’s babies, i would. yeah, i am sure his wife would mind. also, paul probably isn’t too hip on the idea.

good thing i can’t have babies, i guess.

he’s just so damn cute! and TALL. i love him!

he hosted saturday night live this weekend…and he is hilarious! if you love his commercials (the sprint one where he wears the crooked mustache and the bad wig makes me laugh EVERY TIME I SEE IT), then you’ll like his SNL action.
peyton gives “>tom brady a run for his money as best sports SNL host…

soccer mom i am

Published by jess under jess, kids

it’s official! i am a soccer mom. i’m coaching a group of 5- and 6-year-olds. the soccer is the EASY part. the 5- and 6-year-olds are the HARD part! holyyyy cow, did i EVER underestimate how tricky this would be.

first of all, they are just the cutest bunch of kids ever! my daughter was telling her brother and stepsisters last night after our first practice that “the other kids called Mom ‘Coach’ but I just call her Mom, cuz that is what she is: my mom!”

jake says to her, “jenna, you should just call her coach - because calling her mom? Well, that’s just embarrassing.”

my son is already embarrassed by me. great.

part 2: i ran into one of the other moms this morning at the post office. i asked her if her son had a good time at practice. she said, “oh yes, he LOVED it. he came home and told me he was happy to have all of the hot girls on his team.” we both rolled our eyes.

HA HA HA! Hot girls! these kids are 5 and 6!!!!

halfway through the practice, ALL of the kids have to pee, and there are no facilities. plus, they are all dog tired. and thirsty. some of the girls started doing cartwheels! one of the kids says “i feel like i am going to throw up.” another got his head stuck in the net no less than 7 times.

i may have bitten off more than i can chew. i’ll keep you posted. i am having fun and still have hope for a winning season. LOL

p.s. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BeeeeRIDGE. i love you!

Milestones in my life that I could do without…

Published by Bridge under bridge

I hope someone missed me. I really have been MIA.

I have had quite a few important milestones in my life this week. I am also about to have some more. Yeah for me. I hope you find these as humorous as I did. Trust me… you want to read this.

MILESTONE #1
Here I am putting my son and daughter to bed. They are being all cute. Then my son decides to tell me that he loves me.

In burp.

Yeah, my son burped, “I love you mom.”

Boy am I proud.

MILESTONE #2
My daughter is having a play date at a friends house. The mom asks what she wants to drink. Something like milk or juice. My daughter replied juice. Then she leans over and whispers to her friend, “I like to drink juice because it tastes like wine.” Yes she was overheard!

Um, my daughter is 5!

No I haven’t given her wine!

My husband and I figured out that it was the sparkling apple juice we gave her in a champagne glass for New Years that did it. She figured she had the real stuff. Obviously it tasted like juice… because it WAS.

I am thankful that this friend doesn’t think I am LAME.

MILESTONE #3
I get to register my daughter for kindergarten.

Um, I am getting old. I will be going to the city office to do this tomorrow. I think I might cry.

Leading to the next milestone…

MILESTONE #4
Yeah, I am turning 29… yet once again. Maybe more than once again, but older. Yes older. I’ll be having a party this Sunday.

Everyone who reads this blog is invited. From 3:00 to 6:00 at my house. If you really want to come and haven’t received a personal invitation from my husband just email me and I’ll send you the invite. bestmonkeyfriends@yahoo.com

Al, you will be drunk in Vegas so NO INVITE FOR YOU!!! Although you still are invited. I hope you have fun.

Thank you everyone who reads. I appreciate every comment you make. Have a great Friday, and a fabulous weekend!
