Happy Anniversary!

To my love:
Happy Anniversary Sweetheart.
Thank you for five years of adventures and surprises around every corner.
I thought it was so interesting that we both chose cards that expresses the tough times and getting through them instead of the happy cheery times. I know that our love is strong and will endure lots more tough times. I'm looking forward to the next 5, 10, 15... forever.
Ti Amo,
S

Also... he's here!!! A big huge CONGRATULATIONS goes out to my cousin who had a baby boy on my anniversary! Yeah! Congrats sweets, can't wait to meet him.

Lots of love to you all,
S
Ciao!

HI!

Hallo, Ciao, Wilkommen, Wie geht's, What up, Wasssup, Buon Giorno, how's it hanging? I don't have much to say. I really feel like I'm working on so many secretive projects right now. Nothing due in 9 months, peeps.... Puh leeze! :)
Just stuff that if I say it out loud I feel like it won't happen. But I can honestly say today that I AM HAPPY!!! And I will say that out loud knowing that it won't not happen. How can I not be... my hubby and I are having a blast and really enjoying life these days. I have great friends that keep me sane and loving and living on the daily, my mom and sister and even sister wife (heehee) are the best women that a woman could ask for as a support. The sun is shining the breeze is blowing... what more could a girl ask for? Yes I know a million dollars... but for reals peeps.
Lovin you!

Love,
SC

Hi to all, and Happy Birthday to you too... if I missed it. Shout out toAli and her birthday coming up... ain't no thang girl... love it! own it!


It has gotten a little gray and dreary out, but that is ok too... we needed the rain and I'm glad it's here.
Enjoy it or... blame it on the rain... in either case
have a good one.

It's a HOT One...

It is right back to August today. And not the nice August days, it's sticky and sweaty and wants to rain but probably won't. I've been loving the weather... til today.
The week was good... kinda long. I went back to Pilates... ooh boy was that a doozy. I guess the class got ahead of me, they were doing stuff that could have been classified as downright torture in some countries. I LOVE IT!!! But I have to go back to intro. Oh well... no love lost. It is a great class and a GREAT studio. Justine has really taught me to learn to use my body. She remembers how I feel and gives me modifications (and other students) in class so that we don't go beyond our personal limits and hurt ourselves. It is MUCH better than a DVD people. Join me... you'll love it to. I'm going to join the Monday Pilates class and see what I can do.
I also visited my sister on Sunday morning and had a big ol breakfast with the kids... it was FUN. Had some friends over for dinner and went apple picking on Monday with Ali and kids and Leah. It has become a tradition... loved it. What a cute Orchard too... very small and lots of trees, and of course yummy cider apple donuts.
Check out the pics and have a great weekend.

Living for the weekend

What a BEAUTIFUL one. Tons of plans and I'm so excited about all of them. Tonight we are headed to D&D for dinner with lots of friends and that makes me so HAPPY. Tomorrow morning I'm headed to my sisters for breakfast with the kids, and then some friends M&R are coming over for the game (which one... beats me) and some grub. I went shopping this morning and was mortified at the prices at the store... for reals people... CRAZY. Last night we had some delicious Japanese food with my in-laws, and got to check out the progress on the addition to their bedroom and bathroom... looks
great. I'm taking a vacation day Monday to spend some much needed time with my ladies L and Ali.
So I can't, shouldn't, won't complain (which we ALL know I'm really good at).

Here is a list:
Here's to...
- no lines at the grocery store (or anywhere for that matter)
- snuggles with the hubby after a trying week
- old friends, new friends and bloggie friends
- beautiful sunshiny days
- babies everywhere (congratulations to G&K and good luck to S&G)

Love to you all,
Ciao

Nice Matters and White Noise

Hi,
I've been nomiated for the "nice matters" bloggie award. My loveliest mama Ali nominated me in the sweetest nicest way. No wonder she was nominated and sent it my way.



Right now I don't feel like being nice. My MAC is being mean and has the weirdest white noise in the background. Some times I think it the speakers, but the sound is not there all the time. I've talked to tech support and we did a p-ram something and that seemed to work... until I hung up. OF COURSE. I have to say that I'm lucky and talked to some great peeps so I'm not complaining... yet.

So in case my computer gets taken away for a bit here are some pics.

It was Kyle's b-day yesterday... 7 people! We celebrated with cake.


I know... super freaking cute. What can I say... my sister's got good genes!


Joe's birthday next week... 13. I'm old and he's a TEENAGER! argh.


So funny... they decided to blow out the candles before we even sang. We had to light them again. This is take two.


This little patriot tuckered himself way out.

Note to self... do not sing songs with lyrics in them that you don't want kids repeating and repeating and asking what that means. They hear everything and will remember EVERYTHING. All I can say is... "Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a deuce..." hahaha.

Love to you all and send me good computer vibes.

Hey there peeps!

From one extreme to another!

What up? What's shakin'?
I think I'm finally starting to feel like myself again. I'm almost afraid to say it in case I jinx myself. I'm still takin' it slow because that seems to be the key. Having said that I have a really busy weekend. It is open house at the theatre this weekend, Saturday 11am-4pm. Sunday we have a family dinner to celebrate my aunts' birthday.

Fall is here and it is GORGEOUS out! I'm wanting to go out and walk, picnic, pick apples, have a bonfire, grill peppers, visit with friends over coffee and cider donuts. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this time of year.
My anniversary is coming next month and the hubby and I are trying to make some fun Fall plans... leave a comment with some ideas if you have any.
Okay my peeps, here's wishing you lots of warm days and crisp nights for good sleeping under a warm blanket.
Ciao
