No need for that...

So I guess I was wrong to think that people will change and leave what is in the past there. After all that we have been through in our lives, you would think that all that anyone would want to do it get on with life and stop hurting one another. The worse of it all is when that person that hurts you is someone who is supposed to take care of you and protect you. Family can break you but I don't understand why they would want to....

Polar Bear Jump

Well it's almost that time again to take the plunge into freezing cold water in the middle of February. It's only about a week and half away and the jitters haven't quite hit me yet, surprisingly of course. The only thing that might explain it is that this will be my second year taking the plunge. Since last year was warmer than usual (air 27 degrees; water 38 degrees), I must admit it is a little intimidating because I don't think we'll be that lucky again.
Definitely if you get a chance, check out pbjump.com and see how much fun it is and the adorable kids we are raising money for...

Welcome to Upstate NY

So today was the first gorgeous day of the year, it reached 62 here...I just wish it would stay like this. I mean what is better than 60 degree weather in the beginning of January, it really doesn't get much better than that. Of course though, anyone living in upstate NY knows that there are two seasons: winter and summer (which only lasts about 4 months of the year), which means that come next week we will be back to sub-zero temperatures yet again....Gotta love this place I call my home...And what makes it even better, I am of course stuck inside on this beautiful day and not out enjoying the sunshine and warmth....

Been Awhile

So I know it's been awhile since I've written anything, but you all know how it is with the busy holiday season. And then on top of that with my birthday bash (which I'll fill you in another time) and friends and their kids...yeah it was a bit overwhelming. Thankfully it has all finally settled down to where I feel like I have a minute to breathe and not get stressed as much. Then with the horribly cold whether NY has been getting, all it makes me want to do is curl up in my pjs and vegge out watching movies. You keep hearing about this global warming thing, but lately it seems like everything is freezing up. I mean come on now....even the southern states are dropping into the 30s and 40s now.
Well hopefully there will be more to come and more often too...keep looking...

Birtday Bash

Sometimes I swear that every year older I get two things seem apparent:



First, I somehow party harder with less of a hangover the next morning. Over the years I thought it was due to me drinking more and building up my tolerance, but these last few months I really haven't drank at all so that can't be it.



Second, I don't seem to really age any more either. I look at pictures from a couple of years ago, I am seem to still look just like I did then. It's not like I am complaining at all, it's just something that came to my attention while reminiscing about previous birthdays and their highlights.



So my 29th turned out to be a pretty good one and I must say I haven't laughed like that in a long time, it was so much that my abs and cheek muscles hurt for a few days afterwards. The one part that absolutely amazed everyone is that I started early, stayed out late, and even had a little bit of an after hours for everyone. The only problems were figuring out how to get up the stairs without falling too much.
