Las Vegas Baby!

My husband and I left for our Vegas trip on 5/24 and returned on the 27th and boy were we exhausted when we returned!! We had a fun time and ate some really outstanding food. Let's not forget the excellent wine that he picked out. We shopped and he surprised me with some great goodies!! He also got some things along the way.

On Saturday we went to my first UFC event. It was interesting and the crowd was alive and ready to see some ass kicking. Most of the pre-fights were good but the main event was not all that. Chuck Liddell got spanked by Jackson. The fight lasted like less than two minutes into the first round......what the???? Just what we did not want to happen a short fight and a loss for Chuck. Not taking anything away from Jackson cause he's a great fighter. Oh well, it was a fun time.

I just feel blah....

You know I have tried not to post this because it's so sad for me to talk about. I have been feeling an overwhelming sense of sadness. I lost a childhood friend to suicide last week. When I think of my childhood I think of him and his family. They always waved and had big 'ol grins on their faces as my family I drove by. The father of this family, Mr. Bob always helped us kids when we needed a tire pumped or our bike fixed. He was the neighbor that was always working on something in his garage. He would always let his daughter Carol and I build a fort in the back of his truck and we would sit in there for hours talking and eating our snacks and he never bothered us. Carol's little brother was always wanting to play with us and we told him he could as long as he didn't talk too much. I have great memories of this family and the thing I can't get my head around is how they have suffered so much in their lives. I remember when I was around 10 years old a neighbor came and told a group of us that Carol had been in an accident that she was missing in the ocean. Of course in my little 10 year old mind I thought she was going to be fine. See, Carol was 2 years older than me and she was a great swimmer and award winning runner in middle school. I thought she would swim back to shore or onto a rock and she would be found. She never came home. They had found her body days before my birthday. Not long after her death her father Mr. Bob was diagnosed with cancer and later passed. My childhood friend that just passed was her younger brother. I can't wrap my brain around what has happened.

My older sister married Carol and Robbie's older brother and they are in the middle of a divorce. How much more can one tolerate?? My sister and I have not been close for about 10 years but I feel badly for her because of how her husband has treated her. Well, I promise when I post next I will be more positive.

Happy Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day. It started on Friday when my husband and I were shopping and we went into a store to browse. My husband asked me if I liked a purse that he pointed to and I said yes. Then he said don't you need a matching wallet. Yesssssssss, I said. I now own a beautiful brown Gucci purse and wallet. My two daughters woke me early on Sunday with beautiful pink tulips, a card, and handmade note cards that my youngest made in school. My mom and dad brought me some beautiful roses. Then it was off to celebrate Mother's Day at Hayes Mansion and enjoyed brunch with our family. I have to say it was my husband's birthday too and I feel badly that he has to share his day with me and his mother. I will try to post pic's tomorrow.

I hope your Mother's Day was a nice as mine! Happy Mother's Day!

Too much Sake.....

Okay, I thought 30 somethings aren't supposed to have hang-overs! We are supposed to be smarter now that we are in our thirties. I am ashamed to say I had too much Sake on Sunday night. We were at a farewell party (owners sold) at a restaurant in downtown Morgan Hill. It did not hit me how much Sake I had had until two hours later, weird huh? I wasted a whole Monday recovering, it was the worst hang over ever. Okay, I wasn't the only one with a hang over but still. Oh, by-the-way I lost 2.4 lbs. recovering....not a good way to lose weight I know.

I'll post a layout later on today. Until then I will slowly add food to my tummy and hope for the best.
