Dontcha Love Family...

You know, my family is pretty rowdy. We used to get together a lot more. There were picnics and parties and bbq's and holiday open houses. We don't do that so much any more.

But, one thing still holds true. It's not a holiday unless someone gets in a fist fight or leaves crying.

Except, this time, it's not my family. (at least not yet)

Merry Christmas!!

Y-Me

Hey Look! I'm still alive! I know you all were wondering. (is there anyone even out there??)

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms! Marianne in particular what with it being her first year as a mom!

Mom and I continued our Mother's Day tradition of participating in the Y-Me Walk to Empower. We were joined by lots of friends and family and everyone had a really good time. We went from 3 people last year to about 15 this year! (yeah!)

Here are some pics from walk day.

Mom and Me!

After the walk mom, Mark, and I went to a barbeque at my dad's house. There was lots of family there. And I love having a big family (one that I don't see much so I get updates at these type of events - which are usually invite only and limited to the people we like this week. LOL)

Things I learned:

1) it is not good to call a family member and ask, "are you a good person or are you an asshole?"

2) the conversation isn't over until someone is called and F*ing C*.

I believe these life lessons will serve me in good stead. Hope you all learned a little something yourselves! Have a great week!
