Melissa ate the worm

There is SO much to blog about from yesterday...there was Jake's graduation bright and early...then there are lots of pics of the girls who are visiting this week...not to mention the party that Amy threw for Jake.BUT I had to pick one topic to start the blogging with and I just had to start with my sis in law Mo.She had a little too much fun at the Party. I guess she was ready to let loose and start her vaca in MD with a blast.....Here is how it went...the pics are in order of events

. Kathy looks like she is thinkin...no she isn't...and her mother in law looks disapproving...haha

Then Mo found the piano and an audience...ut ohhh...

Then the lamp shades gag

More silly lampshade craziness

finally a little visit with the porcelain god...but once she got it out of her system she was A OK!!

Happy Graduation Drew!!

So on Thursday, my (not so) lil' cousin Drew graduated from High School....GOOD GOING!!!!

It was a great ceremony (is that what you even call them??) and it was so good seeing my Aunt Angie and her 3 boys that I rarely see.
Let me start by saying that Danny (I refuse to spell it any other way) sure does know how to pick restaurant's. Me, Kathy, and Danny ate before and it was super good. We went to Mo's seafood and the portions and quality were outstanding!!

Then off to the graduation we went. Drew gave a speech and did an awesome job.he seems to be quite the charmer or as his bro Will put it ."B-S'r...

Afterwards we visited a bit and did pics...here are some for you to view and enjoy!! Drew and his mother

Me, Danny, the graduate, and Kathy

Me and the Grad

Drew during his speech..it was the best I could get from my seat.

Drew getting his well deserved diploma :)

Drew and his cute girlfriend..she also has her nose pierced so she pretty much rocks out in my book

The boys...Will, Drew, and Tim

So fresh and so clean, clean

Here are a couple pics of the new and (much) improved Oliver. He was groomed on the day these pics were tooken...Kidding...I know it is taken, not tooken. Just makin sure ya'll are paying attention.

He really is a cutie...the groomer didn't do a great cocker cut..but...still a good lookin little booger.

There is a lot happen'in at Mama's

Here are a couple of pics of moms back yard. She has a couple of things going on.

She is painting the shed as you can see. Looks like she is almost done the main structure; lookin good!

Then she is gardening/landscaping...(whatever you call it) around the side of the screened in area that Kevin had to shorten to accommodate the new windows in the kitchen.

Lastly there is the pergola that Kevin is in the middle of constructing. I cant say that I have ever heard of this or know what its gonna look like overall when its done...but mom is looking forward to it being done.

A blog about a blog

Tonight I am writing a blog about my blog.
Apparently some dear friends think me and my blog are gay.
To that I say this:

YOU BOTH SUCK!

CSI Douche bag...hoo..hoo

The view

No... this isn't a post about THE View; No Hasselsuck baby goo goo. No Lesbian Rosie controversy. No Ba-bra Wawa is decrepit hag chatter either....its about the view of the water down her' in North Beach.
Here are a couple of (very similar) pics down here.

There isn't much new to update ya'll on. Work is....work. It kinda is sucky, but it pays and it is tolerable.

Its terrible, bu that's all I got.

Peace and Sara's a bore grease!!

Another day another coughing fit

So...for those who don't know I was S*I*C*K last week. I missed 3 days of work. Actually, I was feeling better so I called work on wed and said that I didn't get much sleep and I was moving a little slow, but I was on my way in. 1/2 way to work one of the like 7 managers called and told me they didn't want me to come in in case i was still contagious....SOOOO I turned around and went home. My heart wasn't broken.
Anyway...So that was like the flu. Fever, sore throat, aches and pains. Sucked...
Then I felt good good for a couple days...UNTIL...I started this TERRIBLE SARA SPECIAL COUGH!
Its SO nasty and kind embarrassing...Plus I get the dry heaves and kinda want to throw up...HOT, I know!!
I went to a Southern Living / Happy Hour at my friend Elizabeth's last night and I was coughing all loud and all I could think to say was...Sexy; I know.

I am complaining...that's all.

Hope everyone is enjoying this super spring weather!!

amen

So, this weekend, for the 1st time in a while was a good, busy, happy weekend.

Fri after work, I spent some time with an old friend, and did some shopping for my best pal Mary's baby shower which was Sunday.

I had a little bit of anxiety trying to find the perfect gifts for Mary and her husband Reed. I love them dearly and I love me some babies, so I wanted to get the perfect gift!! The problem with that is that I am a procrastinator...boo on me.
Mary is due w/ her 1st in the 1st week of June and she is having a boy..Connor Reed. It all worked out gift wise...I got some toy, a 1st yr album/book, and many cute outfits from Carters.

Then on Sat my mother had a little get together. It was nice. The weather was fantabulas and we sat outside and had some white sangria...whys is gotta be white??

She made her world famous chicken and dumplings and it was super.... It was good to see my peeps. We def. don't do it enough!!

Then Sunday was the baby shower, Mary's friend hosted and did a good job. It was a great turn out and Mary cleaned up...AND she has 2 more showers to go!!

After the shower my friend Raquel (who was at the shower) and I went to a Mexicans restaurant and again, sat outside and enjoyed some cocktails. It was great...I hadn't seen her in ages!! After that we went back to her house where me, her, and her husband chatted and listened to some tunes.

It was a great mix of events and I had a good time....now lets keep this up...shall we??

PICS ANYONE??

Here is a pic of Jeff, Jake, and my Mama on Sat...perfect weather!

Mary and me...I FINALLY gave Mary her wedding gift...almost 2 yrs LATE...a scrapbook of her wedding. I suck!!

Here is the hot mama; Mary...profile....represent!!

This is the rock star Raquel....she is too much fun!!

hey hey hey, goodbye

Thank goodness. America woke up and stopped voting for Sunjaya. What a happy results show tonight was.
