Birthday Girl

Birthday Party at Aunt Jackie & Uncle Dennis Home

It was good to see everyone at the party. Mags was very happy about getting the chance to meet her new cousin. The disappointment came when she realized she would not be bringing home the gift (Strawberry Shortcake Kit and Painting Kit) she brought for Alyvia.

Alyvia and family lives in New Mexico. Pictures are Victoria (Baby) and her mother (Lydia) and the Alyvia is the Birthday Girl! Daddy (My cousin Denny) was participating at an art show and could not join us. It was a very fun day and the weather was beautiful!

Happy Crappy Day

First day back from a long weekend and today sucked at work. I am behind in my work as usual and I don't see a light at then end of the freaking tunnel for it.

The girls at work seem to hate each other. If one of them isn't talking about the other than I would know something major was happening in the world. I just don't like hearing about it all. I know deep down when they are not talking about each other then they are talking to each other about me. I guess I am better off just letting it all go out one ear. Drives to me want to drink....maybe today is the day I will start!

Birthday Weekend

Shot my diet!

Friday night we went to Bub's and I had cheeseburger and french fries. Very tasty! Saturday, went out for late dinner at Michaelango's and had italian food...very yummy. Sunday, my parents came over and we went ate out again! This time at Mitchell's Fish Market and I had fish and chips and it was delicious! I definately will get back to normal, healthy eating tomorrow I can promise myself this!

All in all, other than all the bad for me food, I had a great birthday weekend because I got to spend the time with my family.

Happy Birthday to me!

Seeing Is Believing??

As I get older, I see more people I know. I also see people who I think I know, but really don't. The most freakish thing to me is I also see people, famous people, all the time. I mean, how many famous people do you think are pumping gas or buying drinks at the BP station in Carmel? It isn't like I live in California or even New York City. I live in, or rather very near, Indianapolis Indiana. (Where corn fields used to grow but are now replaced with strip malls and new housing additions.) Isn't Elvis suppose to be dead? I swear I saw him and Christian Slater at Wal-Mart. I am either working to hard or it is time for me to get my eyes checked.

Getting her toes done for the first time!

Great looking toes you got there!

First professional toe job


My niece is all girl! She had her first toe nail painting this year and she LOVED it! The next morning, she asked "Auntie, how come you don't have any colors on your toes?" I told her I preferred a French manicure. "Why didn't I get my feet cleaned like you did?" I almost had to laugh at that one because she was SO SERIOUS. Because of her age, they will not do a pedicure, but they will polish so I said, "Well, maybe your feet were already clean?" She came back with, rather sternly, "NO THEY ARE NOT!" The white looking thing sitting with her is Bonnie Bunny. She has to go with her everywhere she goes you know!

I saw Elvis!

I was on earthcam.com and clicked on the Las Vegas site....I couldn't believe my eyes! I saw Elvis and he was singing and dancing while performing a wedding!!! It was so FUNNY! At the end, he encouraged all the family and guests to come up and sing and dance to Viva Las Vegas. Then he asked everyone to dance, sing and wave at everyone on the internet...and they did! It was great! What a great bunch of happy people!! (or nutty)

If I ever get married, I think getting married by Elvis would be fun!
