You know you're from Port Huron if...

So the other day, I go to my fav grocery store, pop my MP3 player on (yes, I am one of "those" people - I listen to my MP3 player while shopping - who am I gonna talk to in there anyways?) and start browsing up and down the aisles, carefully considering my purchases, wondering if I should buy that candy. No, then yes, then no...then finally yes...hahaha. Diet starts again on Monday I swear! That dress isn't gonna fit!! Anyways...I'm walking down the pasta aisle, my very favorite aisle of all aisles and BAM. This is the defining moment - the one that makes you stop and wonder, what the heck is SHE thinking? Down my aisle comes another female shopper - in her bathing suit. A tankini, with a skirt. And flip flops. And her body type was as big, if not maybe a little bigger than mine. GIRLFRIEND....do you have no shame? Who told you it was okay to wear your bathing suit into the grocery store? For crying out loud! Put a shirt and shorts on, is it that hard?

Does this happen everywhere else, or am I just blessed to run into it in the Port? Do tell...

Long lost pals...

Here's a pic of me and my good friend Jeanne. We finally reconnected after a long time through email and today we had the opportunity to go to lunch together. Before we knew it, 2 hours had flown by. I have missed you so much J!!

If you have the chance to reconnect with someone from your past, don't hesitate. Life is too short to keep saying, "I'll get to it." As the Nike ads say, Just Do It!!

Weekend Update

So I worked on Friday at both jobs, started at 8am and ended my night right around 12:30AMish. Yep, I was exhausted. My legs and feet started hurting right around 7PM. I looked at my watch and thought....omg...I have another FIVE hours of this. I keep telling myself...just a little bit longer, and I'll be back down to one job. The good news is, I only have about $287 more on the carpet/tile bill that started this two job debacle. Out of $5,000 and 1 year of sacrifice, I'd say $287 ROCKS.

Saturday I was woken up way too early to go to breakfast by Mike (old friend from high school). So KT, Mike and I went to eat, I had two cups of coffee (I rarely drink coffee so this was kinda a big deal, but I HAD to clear the cobwebs out of my brain somehow!) and then KT and I went garage sale-ing. What a beautiful day to make that happen. Then I headed over to a graduation party for my friend's kid, stayed for about 20 minutes and headed over to my family reunion. I am kind of traumatized by the graduation party, I'm not sure I can even talk about it right now. What I will say is, I can't believe the relationship with this friend of mine went from what is was, to what it is now. It is amazing and sad.

So onto better things, my Family Reunion. I rarely see this side of my family, so it was nice to catch up with people that I don't normally talk to. I got to see Jen *you look fabulous girl*, Alida *she has this giggle that makes me crack up*, Julie & Megs *see Julie, I DO like you, I even mentioned you in this first-rate blog*, some other cousins and their families, aunts, uncles. I had to pleasure of talking with Great Aunt (pronounced "AW-NT") Claire and Great Uncle Jack from Wisconsin. I forgot how much I really enjoy their company. She is eccentric and sassy and wonderful. He has a witty personality. We celebrated my Great Uncle Ernie's 80th birthday, had him blow out candles too! I also ate WAY too much and I wouldn't have it any other way. After the rain subsided, we started the gigantic bonfire. We saw several rainbows (I'd like to think that the rainbows symbolized our loved ones who have passed) and reminisced and shared a lot of laughs. One thing I will mention about the bonfire - I don't think my father knows how to build a small bonfire. Multiply that mentality by about 6 other men who share the same belief and POOF, you have the largest bonfire in St. Clair County. I'm glad my older brother is part of the Fire/Rescue team and we have "connections". hahaha

So today (Sunday), I'm supposed to have a playoff softball game around 6:30pm, but since it's been raining most of the day, I wonder if that will happen. If not, KT and I will be headed over to the movie theater. For now, as soon as I finish this blog post, I'll be wrapping up in a blanket on the couch and watching TV. Because you see, I rarely get down time like this and I need to take FULL advantage of it.

TTFN~

Sure does feel good....

Tonight we had another two-game softball night and WON both of the games!! Woot woot....your girl hit the ball and got 3 RBI's (runs batted in) out of it.

I still got it *winker*
