HAPPY 8TH ANNIVERSARY LOCALE OF BLOOMINGDALE!!!

just got back from our LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG weekend....hehehehe...now, reality must set in and it's back to the daily work grind....*SIGH* but before that...let's RECAP!!!

after worship service....we met up at the wiser's...packed up our things...and headed to Madison, WI for the district bowling tournament....once we got to Madison, we checked into our hotel...and decided to go bowling....a few practice games...i for one was very happy with my scores...so i was prepared as i could have been =)   after bowling...got locked out of Ponderosa...why? i dunno... we got there at 9:30 and the sign said they closed at 10:30....so we ended up at Denny's....there were 15 of us...and like ONE FREAKIN WAITER AND ONE FREAKIN COOK...needless to say we were there for what seemed like forever...and apparently they aren't use to having alot of business....'cuz they were running out of things left and right....(i'm sorry....we're out of bananas...did you still want the banana split???....hahahahahahahahahaha!)

then back at the hotel...we were room hopping...movies and food in one room...cards and manicures and massages in another...hehehehhe...then off to sleep finally...

three years ago today marked one of the biggest turning points in my life....i look back on my life...and i see how fast i've grown up...sometimes too fast...but definately three years ago today was a day i grew up and had to face the world without one of my biggest supporters, my mom.

it's funny how when someone's gone, you remember every piece of them....her sense of humor, the true meaning behind what she use to say...why she use to get mad at me for not doing things around the house...hehehehhe...

 

Need i say more????

i just wanted to take this time to say "THANK YOU" to those who celebrated my birthday with me...

thank you to the bloomingdale choir for the endless 'happy birthdays' and the cheesecake!!!

thank you again to everyone else with the 'belated happy birthdays'!

i'm finally in a better mood.... =)  yesterday was just not a good day...but now it's over and all i can say is ...i feel better.

i think i also feel good because i accomplished alot again today....i did laundry...cooked...and we mowed the lawn today!!!...and yes, i can say WE...because i did the back and one side of the house...it was fun...but i think my arms will hurt tomorrow...hehehe.

i need to buy a rake and some other gardening tools for this weekend...i guess we're gonna barbeque and do some gardening to make the outside look PWEEETY!!!!

*sigh* it's the little things that make me happy....i'm so old. *SIGH*

well, with 3 days until my birthday....i feel indifferent.  i don't know...i'm not as excited as i was....i just feel so blah. i dunno...maybe the whole thing of it is that we're all gonna be so busy this weekend...what i really want is to spend time with my family and friends...have a nice barbeque at the house...just chill...well, there's still time...we'll see what happens....if we do party at the house...YOU'RE VERY WELCOME TO COME =) 

but other than that...i'm very BLAH.

due to popular demand...i will post, what some may call, a WISH list for my birthday....but since i don't really like ASKING for gifts...i will post what my likes are and what my dislikes are....where i LIKE to shop....things i don't have yet...and stuff like that....hehehhe...

even though it's late and i am very tired from the weekend fun....hehehhe...i felt compelled to write about one of my best friends in the whole wide world...Rachel =)

yanno, we've had our UPS and our DOWNS...our GOOD days, our BAD days...but no matter what has gone down before...we always find our way back to each other as if nothing has ever changed.  we both admit we have changed since we formed our friendship WAY back when...and we've done things that the other doesn't necessarily like/approve of...but still...i know she's my friend and will be there always.  i'm so glad that we've been spending time with each other lately....not that we didn't hang out and what not before...but i really do enjoy the time we've been spending chillin' together with the rest of the FAMILIA...chatting on the phone for hours like we use to when we were kids...hehehhee...i'm just so thankful for a friend like you. I LOVE YOU RACHEL! =)))))))

here's a song shout out just for you:
