It’s Friday! Whoop Whoop!!!!!!

1. Blates – One of the reasons that I love blogging is all the connections and blogging friends I make. I had a blate last night with Meighan.  We have been following each other, emailing, tweeting, etc for months and figured out that we work a block from each other downtown. Hello, why haven’t we met for drinks yet?!?! So that is exactly what we did! I had the best time. I love that were able to just talk and talk like we have known each other forever.

2. Favorite Song today that I have been backing my azzzzzz up to – Whatever You Like – TI – Try listening to this song and not be happy….you can’t!

So, you all know the story about the time my sister cracked her head opened and blamed it on me. She was obviously a dramatic child. Well, apparently she adored the attention so much of being a victim….that she one time faked a broken leg.

I share this picture with you because I do not have a picture of Tracy and her unneeded cast. What I do have is a picture of karma sitting in her lap. AKA Cooper. He is every bit Tracy and Mike’s child. He is the one that will give her gray hairs and drive her to drink. He is JUST like her and Mike combined when they were little. My mom always told her that she hopes one day she had a kid just like her so she would understand. Karma is a bitch, Tracy. Hehehehehehehe

The memories of this story are a little fuzzy, perhaps because they were all a lie! I am not sure exactly what event it was that occurred in which Tracy could have possibly broken her leg. However, one day she just decided she couldn’t walk anymore. Her leg hurt and she hammed it up until my parents decided to take her to the ER because that is what any normal parent would do when their child used to walk just fine, can no longer walk, and is complaining about pain.

After multiple xrays and doctors looking at her leg, no one could figure out exactly why my sister couldn’t walk. There didn’t appear to be a brake or fracture?! Nevertheless, they put her little leg in a cast and sent her home to “take it easy” to be on the safe side.

Days turned into weeks that turned into a month and my parents had to carry her ass EVERYWHERE!!! Tracy wanted out of bed? Someone came up and carried her downstairs. Tracy wanted to get some fresh air? Someone had to carry her outside. Tracy wants a water? Make Nadine get it. Tracy needs all the couch to lay out on, make Nadine sit on the floor. Tracy, Tracy, Tracy. Girlfriend can really milk things.

One day, the Casio brothers (that lived up the street) came by and invited me to play a game of baseball with them. Tracy had a crush on the youngest brother. When she got wind that I was going to go play with the boys, she realized that having a broken leg sucked. That she in fact did not like to be sitting on the couch when there are boys to flirt with. Miraculously, Tracy jumped her little ass off that couch and ran outside to meet us and play ball! Tracy can walk?!?!?!?! What a fucking miracle, right??!?!

This made everyone say hmmmmmmmmmm. Just a few minutes ago, Tracy couldn’t dare try to walk and now she is outside running after some boys?

Dear Mom and Dad,

This was your first red flag that Tracy was going to cause some trouble. Just sayin.’

Love,

Your Good Daughter

Just for fun……this is a picture of Cooper on the side lines at his big brother’s football game. You will notice he is not watching the actual game.

He was watching the cheerleaders do their routine. Right after I took this picture, he waved at them and said “Hey girls!”

–Sooooo I have finally come to terms with the fact that I am just really awkward. Like really REALLY awkward. I admitted this out loud in the car to Chris on our way to a get together at some guys house that we met at a bar a few weeks back. Totally normal. I told him that I was sort of not into going to said get together because I am just really awkward around people that I don’t know. Ok. I am awkward around people that I know very well too, but at least it is a comfortable awkward. For me, anyways. My family probably just thinks I am crazy.

Let me give you an example of this. The hallway in our office is really long. When someone else is walking down it, I smile nervously at them and then start messing               with my arms or investigating empty offices. I mean…what else do you do. Please. Tell me what you do with your hands?!?!?!?!

–After the link up yesterday, I realized this was true. It is so true. And ummmm……ouch. I can’t be the only one who thinks the 90’s was the last decade, can I?

–My co-worker randomly asked me this morning how old I was. When he realized we were the same age he says “Do you remember LFO?” I was like “Do you like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch?” He was like “Yesssssss!!!!! Have you ever really listened to the lyrics of the song? They talk about Scooby Snacks in the Girls on TV song.” I almost said, “You should see my blog post today about back in my day.” Luckily I stopped myself before I realized the horrific error I almost made. Almost.

–Also, while on the subject of LFO….mad props to Lauren and Jess for getting my tweet yesterday afternoon!

–I have one finger nail that is longer than all the others. It is driving me crazy. How did I miss it?

–While driving I find myself calling the person their car. “Come on Mazda. Just a little faster there. Let’s pass that car! We can do it, Mazda!” or something like “I know that you want to drive off a cliff Mini Van because you hate your life but there is no need to drive like an idiot.”

–I laughed harder than I should have for that….

–While shopping, I constantly find myself saying things like “This would have been really cute if they didn’t have this on it.” Or this would be so cute in this color.” “This would have been perfect if they actually made it on a correct size scale and not 5 times smaller than it should be.” Like seriously!!!! I really want to open my own boutique for women who are in their 20’s-50’s that want to dress a little on the trendy side, but still keep it classy yet fun. And carry good quality stuff that is flattering on all body types. Why can’t I just have unlimited funds to do this?!

–I have been going to be between 10pm and 11pm every night so far this week and let me tell you…..it is kicking my ass!!!! It’s settled, my grandma ass has to be in bed BEFORE 10pm in order to function properly the next day. I mean, I wake up at 4:25am to work out so give me a break! I was really tempted to do this yesterday afternoon….

And now, some more confessions in ecards

Linking up for the hump day confessions with either Kathy or Stephanie…whoever has their shit together this morning. Just kidding. Poor Kathy has been having issues with her blog going down. Silly internet. Also linking up with my girl Liz for the hump day blog hop!

We knew good music

Well hello there. Did you get a visit from the Easter Bunny this weekend?

Why does the bunny look so disgruntled?

This weekend was a busy one for sure! Let’s get to it!

Friday – Friday evening we attended my friend Amanda’s 30th birthday party at Southern Kitchen Bar and Grill. It was a beautiful rooftop party and while it was a little chilly up there, it was so pretty to see the sunset. Of course, I didn’t take any pictures of said sunset, but it was an enjoyable one!

Saturday – We started off running some errands and a lunch at Blackwell’s. We then headed to our nephew’s 4th birthday party at Chucky Cheese. We might have went to the wrong one at first, ladies….if you think you are right and your husband is wrong about the location….go with your gut! Oopsy. Alas, we arrived at the right location! There is something about that mouse that scares the crap out of me to this day….but whatever! It was a fun time.

After the party, we headed out to another little get together at one of our friend’s houses in Helena. We hung out there for a few ours, grabbed some take out and came home and crashed. A great day!

Sunday – Of course, Sunday was a day for family. We headed over to Chris’s parents house around noon and spent the majority of the day there eating, conversing, sitting outside. We had a huge group, Chris’s parents, his sister and her family, his brother and his family, his cousin and her family, his aunt, his grandma and her husband and then us of course. I loved just hanging out with everyone and enjoying the beautiful weather. We watched the kids hunt for eggs and play golf in the front yard, I played a game of minion operation with one of my nieces, and we got to visit our two new babies!!!!!

They will be coming home with us in a few weeks when they are done feeding with their sweet mommy. Look at those little faces!!!!

After we left Chris’s parents house….we headed to Walmart to pick up a few groceries for the week since it was the only place opened. I hate Walmart. They seriously had hardly anything that I needed. Go figure. It was my once every few month trip. Ha!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I suppose we are back to reality this morning. It sucks. Shouldn’t today be a holiday to recover from a weekend? I think so….
