Happy Birthday Steve-O

A good friend of mine is celebrating his birthday today. He’s getting pretty old, so I’d better not say how many years have gone by.

I remember the first time we met. We were both in line at the downtown Starbucks. This is when it is really cool that Starbucks writes your name on the cup and when your order is ready they call out your name. Well, they called out my name and when I went up to get it, his order was ready and they called out his name. He was already standing right there, and I don’t know why I got so bold, but when I reached for my latte, I looked at him and said, “Hi, Glenn!” and I smiled and turned away. Then, to my surprise, he called out after me, “Hi, Bailey!” And that was our first moment!

Hey, Steve-O – hope you have a blast today and that this year is your best one ever!

Love ya!

Disney University

At the mall I was eating a gyro in the food court and a girl at the table next to me starting to chat me up. She was about my age, maybe a couple years younger. Turns out she is going to Orlando, Florida to work at DisneyWorld and go through the Disney University program. From what she was telling me, this university is very hard to get into and she was very excited that she was selected.

I’ll look into that more when I have some time. It sound like fun but also a valuable learning experience.

Green Beer All Weekend!

We are going to parties and gatherings all weekend for a very long celebration of St. Patrick’s Day this year.

We are responsible drinkers, though. We will take turns drinking and being sober so that we have each other’s back. We would never risk a DUI or an accident because we  were drinking. I would take a cab if I had to.

We’ll be out with lots of friends all weekend. I hope you have as much fun celebrating the hollday as we do!

New Survivor Series Starts Tonight

I’ve been hooked on the TV show, Survivor, ever since it first came out. A couple of my friends heard about it and invited me over to watch it with them. We were hooked! We still all watch it, but since they moved way acorss town I don’t see them as much or watch it with them anymore. But we chat on IM or text about it after it is over. We love the show and would love to be on it as a contestant. That would be awesome. So tonight is the first episode in the new season. I’ll be watching!

Happy Birthday, Glen!

Today is Glen’s birthday. He is the love of my life. I’m so lucky that he chose me to be at his side – he is the most perfect man in the world. I have big plans for his birthday tonight – but I can’t tell you here! Just trust me on this – a night he won’t soon forget! Love you, Glen! Happy Birthday, baby!

Big Day for Football

Glen got tickets for the football game today, so we are heading out soon to do a little tailgating and watch an important playoffs game. I’m very bummed that it is raining this morning. I hope the rain stops before game time. We are supposed to met up with friends in the parking lot and grill some steaks. Hope the rain doesn’t ruin those plans. We are heading out with high hopes for the rain to stop and our team to win.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Did you go out and celebrate for New Year’s Eve?

We went to a party at the firehouse. It was mostly firemen and their wives. Glen’s brother is a volunteer fireman, so we sat with him and his wife and knew most of the rest of the people there anyway. The firemen had hired a local band to play and when they took their 15 minute band breaks we played some top hits on the jukebox. We danced all night!

The price of the ticket included a glass of champagne, so at New Year’s we all counted down the last ten seconds and yelled and kissed and toasted each other with our champagne.

It was probably the nicest New Year’s Eve I’ve ever had. I we all can say the same for the coming year, too. Happy New Year Everyone!

Ice Skating, it’s nothing like riding a Bike

I can’t believe that I let my friends talk me into going ice skating, what was I thinking. I can tell you what I’m thinking right now, ouch!!

I haven’t been ice skating in over a decade and was told that it was just like riding a bike, something that you just pick up again with ease, that is just plain B.S. I can tell you that. My back and behind are so tender and aching that it is funny and that will be the last time I attempt anything like that again, I should have listened to my “inner self” and gone with my gut feeling of staying at home at watching the profession ice skaters that are being televised right now.
