Follow Friday 40 and Over!!

Thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes!!!  It really meant a lot to me!  I had a great day!  My co-worker got me a cake and 2 nice cards.  When I got home Joe and the boys were waiting with presents!  Then apparently Joe had already fed the boys and had dinner all planned for just the 2 of us!  He went and bought my favorite salad, steamed shrimp and made Pomegranate Martinis!  Then later they had birthday cake for me!  It was all very nice and all the effort Joe put into making it special meant so much to me!  This is a picture Joe took...I changed into my comfy sweats when I got home from work!

Wordless Wednesday and a Birthday!!

Happy Birthday To Me!!!
I turn 29 + 17 today!  I'll let you know what Joe planned for my birthday in another post.  I usually don't like to bring attention to my birthday because they usually depress me....but I guess you can't stop time and like my Grandma used to say, "At least you are here to have a birthday"...and she is right...I am thankful for every day that is given to me!!!



Welcome to the 24th Edition of Wordless Wednesday!


Wordless Wednesday is a great day to post an awesome picture that “speaks” for itself, no words needed!

Meet Me On Monday!!

Welcome to the 44th edition of 
"Meet Me On Monday!"
 
Blogging  is a funny thing...we tell our most intimate thoughts for all to read  and yet most of the time I find myself sitting and wondering, "who is  this person!?"  I know them...but yet I don't know them!  I want  to know who the person is behind all those words so I thought of a great  way for all of us to "meet" each other!

Every Sunday Never Growing Old will post five get to know you  questions that you can copy and paste into your own Monday post and we  can all learn a little more about each and every one of us!!

Java will add a linky so we can follow who participates and get to know them  better!!  Be sure to link the POST and not just your whole blog!!


Meet Me On Monday

    Time to link up and meet!!

    PLEASE either put the Meet Me On Monday button in your post or link  your post back to me.  I have found several people just posting the  questions and answers in their post and no one knows that they actually  belong to a meme and linky! 




    Your link MUST include your Meet Me On  Monday post or it will be deleted!  You cannot link up until your post  is complete and posted!  

    I have had SEVERAL people link their whole blog and not just the post and it take a lot of time to go in and correct these so PLEASE link your Meet Me On Monday post!  You know who you are!!

    What's been going on......

    Whew....thing are hopefully settling down for me!   Taxes are done....Venti, Tall and Shorts birthday's....done...our Anniversary done...Easter....done....now its smoothing sailing until our vacation in June and Grande's birthday in July!  Maybe now I can get back to some regular blogging!!

    In case you missed my last update and want to catch up, start here.

    My job is going well.  The other girl that I started with that doesn't like it and is looking for another job is still there.  I'm hoping she sticks around but if not I'll be fine without her!  I have the job pretty much down pack now so its much easier and I feel like I know what I'm doing!

    I did end up getting my period but it was really light and only lasted 2 days which is kinda strange but I'm gonna guess that the vasectomy did work and I'm not pregnant.  I was nauseous the other day after lunch and my boobs feel heavier but I just find it very hard to believe that after all these years it stopped working.  It has to be something to do with the beginning of menopause and just leave it at that.

    Short just had a birthday and turned 11!  We look him bowling which we haven't gone in years and everyone had a blast.  I couldn't believe how many muscles you use when you bowl because when I got up the next day I could really feel it!

    His birthday choice was orange sherbert!  He didn't want cake!


    He got an Ipod Touch which he was thrilled with!


    Tall and his girlfriend at the bowling alley.


    Short and his friend.



    Tall is going to the prom with his girlfriend next Friday.  We just ordered his tux and the flowers.  I'll be sure to post lots of pictures!!

    I hope everyone has a nice Easter.  Mine was okay.  If you remember me saying that when Venti moved out to Chicago that we could communicate via Skype.  We did Skype on Short's birthday and it was awesome!  That was on the 20th....well ever since then we were saying that I would bring my laptop to my parents house to Skype on Easter with Venti and Mocha and that way everyone could say hello and "see" each other.  Venti said that was a great idea.  Well Easter morning he text me to say Happy Easter and I text back saying the same and to let me know what time he wanted to Skype.  He wrote back saying they were going to Mocha's sister's husbands house for dinner and they would be eating at 2pm and that he would let me know.  So I took my laptop to my parents house, hook it all up..connected the internet and waited..and waited.
    Finally at 5:15pm when I didn't hear from him yet and my one sister and her family were leaving, I text Venti and asked him what time did he want to skype because people were starting to go home....he never text me back until 5:30pm and said that they just got done eating (even though he said earlier they were eating at 2pm) and that he wouldn't be able to skype and that maybe we could do it next weekend!  I couldn't believe it!  Like everyone was going to come back next weekend just to skype!  He didn't call all day or did he call his Grandparents.  If you remember from Christmas and the incident that happened that day you would think he wouldn't have pulled another one this holiday!  Sigh...

    Tall and his Girlfriend helped Short dip Easter Eggs!




    Easter Morning!
    Tall finds out this week his SAT scores which will determine if he gets into the college he wants to go to...the one that Grande already got accepted to.  I'm crossing my fingers!

    So that's whats been happening in my neck of the woods!
