3rd Place so Far

Currently in 3rd is Greg Kirby of DE with a 14.8 pound rockfish.

NKOTB

The New Kids on the Block are BACK. I have no idea why I'm even admitting that I was a fan. But they were THE Boy Band of my early teenage years. So I must be true to myself and to them that I did indeed once love them. I will admit that they were my first (get your head out of the gutter, please)...my first concert. How sad my life was back then. I bet if crawled around in the attic of my parents’ house, I could find all my NKOTB gear that I saved for their big comeback. Yes I was Psychic back in the day...I knew they would be back.

I will say this, watching the footage on People.... I had to laugh. Watching them sing their old songs was just too funny. The girls (older women now) drooling over them had me cracking up. Grown men, trying to bust the moves like they did 15-20years ago. Too funny.....

Will I love them again? I'm not sure...Will I buy their new CD? DUNNO? But I do know one thing Joey is still HOT!!! His wife is so lucky!

Gone Fishing

As I left for the office this morning, I kissed Greg good-bye as he was putting his stuff in Rob's Yukon. They are going fishing, all weekend. I won't see him now until Sunday night. When he's away I miss him. A LOT!!!!

So tonight, I will probably spend time with Dawn (Rob's wife) and probably tomorrow night too. When the guys go away we usually end up having a girls weekend. Guess it works out good for everyone when the guys go away....

Next Week

This time next week, I hope to be on my way home and out of the hospital. I got a call from the nurse this morning. Answered what felt like a million questions for my procedure. As it gets closer, I get a little more anxious each day. I just really want all this behind me already. She gave me a list of things not to do for the next week and on the day of the procedure. Very happy that I’m getting it done first thing in the morning. I’m not allowed to wear my contact or any make-up. Great! Friday morning, I am going to look HOT!

NASA

We found out over the weekend that Eric (Greg's Youngest Brother) is going to be working for company that works for NASA. How cool is that!

Blah

The only way I can describe these past few days is...Blah. The weather has been cool rainy and miserable. So that has helped keep me in this Blah mood I've been in lately. But today the sky is blue, the sun is shinning and the birds are singing. I'm trying to shake the Blah mood and start focusing on what I need to do. I've lost track of the things that I truly need to focus on. Somehow nicer weather always seems to help. So starting right now...no more Blah moods.

Going through the Motions

Today was just a day. I was in a pretty bad mood from the moment I stepped out of the house @ 10:45 this morning. The state of Delaware must have a stupid law that won’t let liquor stores open before noon. We needed to get bottles of wine for both mom’s and couldn’t. So we had to run over to the great state of Maryland which allows their stores to open at 9AM. THANK YOU Maryland. We crossed the state line and went into the first liquor store we saw, grabbed what we needed and headed to Greg’s parents house. Where Steve and Erin were waiting for us to rescue them. Our plan was to drop by for a little while, let her open her gift and head to my parents house. Well that all changed when his mom decided that we should all go to lunch. Ummm…. Not exactly what any of us had planned to do, but okay we’ll go with it….it is Mother’s Day after all. Off to McGlynn’s we go. Table for 6 please. Lunch wasn’t bad. The conversation was actually okay and they weren’t too annoying. They paid for lunch which was even a bigger plus!

Off to my parents house we go. We hang out and talk with my mom and dad for an hour or so. I helped cut veggies for their salad, watched a little TV and then we finally headed out to go on with the rest of our day. Pretty uneventful. Then it's time to head to the mall!

As we walked through the mall I could tell I really didn’t want to be there. My bad mood still hadn’t improved. I was shopping and was miserable…What the hell! I had a coupon for Bath and Body Works to by $30 of stuff and get $10 off. I needed hand soaps, so that is a pretty good deal. But what was even better is that their hands soaps were on Sale buy 5 for $10! SCORE!!!! I am stocked up till Christmas! That was probably the highlight of my day! We went to a few other stores and don’t fine anything that we needed, so we headed home.

The day was spent just going through the motions of having to get things done. For the most part all I wanted to do is spend the day at home in my sweats and be by myself. When I came home I immediately changed in to my sweats and checked my e-mails. A few minutes later I was in tears, balling my eyes out. I received an e-mail from one of my best friends. She was thinking about me today on Mother’s Day. It was a sweet e-mail that showed that she truly understands how I feel and that she knows that this day is pretty hard for me.

The weird thing is…. That is wasn’t until I read her e-mail that I figured out why I was in such a bad mood. Another Mother’s Day and I’m still not a MOM. Guess I was just so tied up in going through the motions of the day to discover deep down why I was in such a bad mood.

My mood has improved since my good cry, still have a little funk now only because it is Sunday night and tomorrow I must go back to work. This weekend FLEW by. We didn’t get anything accomplished that we needed to, which sucks! Next weekend Greg will be at a fishing tournament with Rob, so maybe just maybe I’ll be able to get what I wanted to get done, done or at the very least spend some time at home in my sweats by myself…..Ahhh….. I’m feeling better already….. : )

Anyway Happy Mother’s Day!

Can I just have 1...please?

I've seen this family before on TV. Thought it was kind of odd for one family to have so many kids. At one point they had 16 and then they had another little girl which would make 17 kids. Well if 17 wasn't enough, the mom announced this morning on the TODAY show on NBC, that they just found out on Monday that they are expecting their 18th child. COME ON people 18!!!! I just want 1. Can I have just 1.... please!!!!

This Morning

Greg told me this morning over breakfast that I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I would have to agree with him. So for the sake of our marriage, I will stay in the office all day and he can stay in the living room. I will only come down for something to drink and lunch. Thinking it will be best for me not to talk to anyone today, which will be hard to do considering I have meetings for most of the day. Damn it!

$98.00

That is how much it took to fill up the Yukon tonight. That is insane...and it's only going to keep going up. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
