Cheers and Jeers
Remember this segment?!? Its coming back in a big way!! The last two weekends have been pretty crazy and really just unbelievable when it comes to fun times and ridiculous situations.
*Big, huge, monstrous CHEERS for these two ladies! Heather and Kristin ran the Komen race with me. It was Heather's first one in a really long time :) and it was Kristin's first one EVER. They both kicked ass and I'm super proud of them.
*Jeers to Stacy's bags board for tripping me and causing me to get a huge gash on my leg, which looks really gross. Shame on the bags board for making me drink so much and then tripping me all in the same afternoon.
*Cheers to my nephew for helping me keep my mom's passion alive and fill bird feeders. And he's just so cute anyway!
*Also cheers to my nephew for being one year out of his cast. What a difference a year can make!
*Jeers to Barney for missing the Splinter tournament this year, although I know he had a really nice visit with his sisters and mom.
*Cheers to Lindsay and Billy's baby for being so freaking cute. And for causing Jenelle to go into baby fever. Too funny!
*Jeers to the people of McFarland who put garage sale signs on my walk to Kristin's house. Sorry for taking them but you were asking for it!
*A big cheers to Kim for having a fun bachelorette party and nice friends.
*And finally, a big fat terrible Jeers to Club GL for making people just act absolutely ridiculous. What exacting are you putting in our drinks?!

The Internal Struggle
Since I have a few minutes today during lunch and I"m working 12 hours today I figured I could spend a few minutes playing around. I've been thinking about this a lot lately and since I don't feel comfortable discussing it with anyone in particular, I figured I'd write about it, to get it out, then leave it alone.
Couplesville vs Singlesville, who wins?? I struggle with this often, partly because I've been single for SO LONG now (2.5 years officially). I would say 92% of the time, I luv being single. I get to do what I want, when I want and I don't have to plan around anyone but myself. I believe that just made me sounds like a selfish bitch! Nonetheless, I think being single and running on my own schedule really suits me, and for 92% of the time, I wouldn't change it for the world.
Then there's that other 8%. I miss the closeness of having someone. I miss knowing that you always have someone fighting for you and on your side. I miss never having to show up places alone and hope to god that you see someone you know quick enough before anyone actually NOTICES you are alone. I miss having someone always interested in what I did that day. I miss having someone to tell all my good news to, and even the bad news to. I miss the validation of being in a relationship, because as Oprah said on her very last show ever, people just want to be validated. That's the one thing all people have in common. These are the things I miss the most.
Is it worth giving up the 92% to have the 8%? I'm not sure. I've been thinking a lot about this the last couple months. And unfortunately, I haven't come up with much of an answer. Most of the people I hang out with are in couplesville, although I do have a core singlesville group I'm lucky enough to be a part of. I also know there are thing I don't get invited to because I don't have a plus one.
In the next two weeks I organized an event and there are 11 of us going....that 5 couples and ME. And what does every couple say if I point out that I"m the 3rd, 5th, 9th or even 11th wheel?? "Oh we don't make you feel that way, we are all just friends." While true to an extent, this is also a phrase that only people in a couple ever say. People in singlesville never say this...
I think I struggle most with allowing myself to consider being part of a couple again, and betray my singles. I've been a part of my singles crew for so long now that I do feel a bit of guilt even considering getting into a couple. Not that there's been a ton of opportunity for this over the past 2 years, but there's been a little. Would I still be accepted by my singles once in a couple? And will my couple friends think 'better' of me after leaving the singles? Interesting huh?
In conclusion, I think I struggle with this because I thought I was out of the singles world forever. Once that bubble burst, I had to re-evaluate. Now, I couldn't imagine not being a part of the singles, being allowed to do whatever I want, whenever I want. Is there a happy medium? Unfortunately I don't think so. But I will continue on as a single, and will enjoy my summer full of events and fun times, and probably won't think too much about being a couple (or at least that's the hope!).
Thanks for listening.

One Year Can Make All The Difference
One year ago, May 12th, my nephew broke his leg severly and was put into a hip spica cast (as you all probably remember).
A year later he is a happy, healthy 4 yr old boy who loves to help his auntie fill bird feeders and ride his big wheel.
What a difference a year makes!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
Score one for the Crisafi girls. My sister is the queen of winning shit on the radio. She pretty much wins stuff constantly, as often as she can which is every 30 days. She recently won tickets to Country USA (again for the second year in a row). We happened to be hanging out Friday night and we heard they were giving away tickets to the Annie show at the Fireside.
We LOVE the Fireside and go every year. This year, we chose a different show since we've seen Annie before but would still totally go to Annie, IF WE WON TICKETS. Anyway, we devised a plan. Yup you guessed it. She called in Saturday afternoon, won tickets, as me :) I got to hear my name on the local country station (ha!). Anyway, I'm going to pick the tickets up today after work. How funny! It always amazes me that she can call in and win ALL THE TIME. Yeah us!

Self-Imposed Hibernation....OVER!
Hi there. My self-imposed winter hibernation has officially come to an end. Sometimes a girl just needs a break from going out, organizing, planning and drinking! But make no mistake, I'm back in the game and ready for spring/summer/fall. Bring it on! In other news, these are some things I'm in love with at the moment. Love, love, love!
I am forever in search of really good face moisturizer. One that doesn't leave my face really greasy but one that actually keeps dry skin away. I love this lotion. I had first bought a travel size jar for Jamaica, like it so much I bought the big ass jar, which will probably last me a year. But its totally worth it, and not expensive compared to other face lotions out there!
I still gotta have my Diet Coke but I am enjoying my Diet A&W also, especially from the 20 oz bottle. I love re-discovering things I used to enjoy!!
We all know that Target is king when it comes to just about everything, but I must say, the Archer Farms fat free yogurt is my absolute favorite type of yogurt ever! Its fat free, 80 calories and comes in many fun and fabulous flavors. They also bring new flavors during holidays. For instance, they brought out apple pie, pumpkin pie, and egg nog during the fall/winter months. Totally delish!
And finally, I am absolutely in love with my new shoes. I have these shoes, only in black. I got them at Boston Store for a discounted price when I used my Goodwill Coupon. I love wearing heels but my feet have taken a beating. I especially love those really pointy heels. I'm trying to be more realistic in my shoe choices and this shoe has been really great. It has a modest heel and the toe isn't so pointy. Just love! I might go back and get another pair.
This toothbrush has like these extra little massaging bristles on it. And its soft bristled which I had never used before but really enjoy. My dentist game me two so I'm super pumped!
