I had the most amazing time this weekend!
Friday started out with the drive. I was expecting traffic through Columbus so I left early.

I was due to meet Tracy at 6:30/7:00ish. She been to. Thanks to Tracy being late, I was forced to walk around.

.. I bought at $25 pair of SM flip flops.

.. Yep.

.. $25.

Thanks Tracy
Finally she arrived and I followed her to the airport. Going through the bags. Try putting 10 mini bottles in one of those bags.

.. didn't go over so well.

However, the TSA agents found us hysterical! lol Our bags wouldn't close, they couldn't believe how many we brought and that our flight was less then an hour long..

. :) We were a little early for our flight so we sat around and chatted. We tried to get a pop (soda) at Damon's and they shut the lights out on us.

It sucked! We had nothing to put our liquor in. :D So we boarded and put our mini bottles out.

:) When they passed out our drinks we spiked them. Until we got yelled at by the FA because apparently, you aren't able to byol. :D
The flight was short, sweet and to the point.

We landed and Deb and Renee were right at the luggage claim! It worked out perfectly. We grabbed our bags and had the silliest 2 hour ride back to Deb's.

We spent the rest of the night giggling and chatting. It was a blast.
Saturday we got up showered, did some shopping, got pedicures and then headed to Washington DC.

We went to Old Ebbitt's Grill which was awesome. The food was heavenly. The Pomegrante Martini.

.. AMAZING.

Tracy and Deb went to Carlin while Renee and I popped over to Chef Geoff's. It was okay other then the snotty bartender. Tracy killed a guy on the orange line.

I have a picture of him...

dead...

creepy.
Sunday was our relax day. We cooked out and hung out.

We met Deb's amazing son and her mother.
Monday was our DC day..

.. We did all the touristy stuff.

It was fun. I have lots of pics. My favorite is of the God that was on the Metro on our way back to the car.

The most gorgeous man I have ever seen. In a heartbeat..

. you had better believe it. Sadly that is when we had to ride back to the airport for our ride home.

:(
Deb was AMAZING. She is so kind and generous. Such an amazing woman.

And she is raising such a wonderful child. Her and her mom are so much alike..

. They are such a wonderful family.
Tracy is the cleanest person I have ever met.

:D Her and I clicked and giggled and had a ball. I have a softspot for her..

. I let her get in my pants. Traded her blue tooth for a chance at getting in them.

.. It was fabulous.

My pants made her ass look better then they did mine. I hope she likes them as much as I like the blue tooth!
Renee was hysterical.

Her and I had SO much fun hanging out on Saturday, just the two of us. She is kind and a riot. I wish we had more time It was a great weekend.

I love those girls.
afterglow of fabulous food and strong drinks for the next 3 days. Try not to miss us too much.

One last reminder to everyone that your donations are needed!
My girlfriend is doing Relay for Life.

She will be walking around a track from 4PM to 10AM to raise money for cancer. She is just $100 short of her goal. I know that all of you can spare $5 to her cause!

We have all been touched by this disease in some way. A friend (such as a girl I grew up my grandparents) or neighbor..

. Every dollar helps. The race is Saturday You can go here to donate.

Mary Jo is also raising money for the March of Dimes. The March of Dimes does great work for premature babies and those with birth defects. For those who know me, we have been dealing with my son's Clubfoot for the past 3 years.

So...

Last night I went to the Christina Aguilera concert. Cleveland was downtown and parking was $25 everywhere. Before the show we went to the bar Dan works at and grabbed some beers and grub.

We were also able to to the Wolstein Center where the show was. As Dan was holding the door for me, two women tried to hop in our cab and he defended it nicely but he's a sucker for hot chicks in short skirts so we shared our cab. Lucky for Dan they were going to the Wolstein Center as well.

..
We missed Danity Kane which was no big deal.

They only sing one song I like. PussyCat Dolls were just taking stage with their first song. I was very impressed with how well they sang live.

I was actually very surprised since they were originally a cabaret show. I was expecting it to be..

. cabaret-ish. Then Christina came on.

.. she was just.

.. amazing.

Her voice is SO big and she controls it SO well. The show was creative and deep..

. I cried when she sang Beautiful. She was so emotional and emotion inducing.

It was beautiful (no pun intended). It was the best anniversary present a gal could ask for.
After the show, the flaw in our cab plan reared it's ugly head.

The problem with Cleveland is that the cabs suck. There are NEVER cabs and the van that has room for 7. Then when we tell the driver we are just going been to Westlake by now".

We decided we would try to walk. In 3 inch heels, a mile is a LONG walk. Dan gave me his shoes and he walked in his socks.

Finally we found a cab. It was going in the wrong direction but we to the bar. While we were sitting in traffic these girls hopped into the cab.

They were going near us so we allowed them to stay (again with the us plenty of time to chat with the girls. They invited us to Pickwick and Frolic for cocktails and The Midnight Martini Show. The Midnight Martini Show is a Vegasy show.

Very flashy clothes, a show girl, two men and one woman who sing songs by Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and other big band singers. It was surprisingly a VERY good show. The girls turned out to be Then we headed over to our car, had a beer before we left and went home to It was a great night.

We have been giving him Benadryl (which he enjoys a little too much! yum). Last night he only woke up twice.

I think that our all night scream fest may be coming to an end. Thank goodness.
THANK YOU to everyone who has offered their advice.

We have tried everything you have suggested. Somethings helped for a little bit, other's Lynn..

. shame on your daddy for drunking you up! :D
Does anyone know someone who could apply this quote to their life?

How do you deal with someone like this? Are you better protecting them from errors of their ways?
went to sleep tonight.

My head is killing me from being up the past two nights and I'm SO emotionally drained...

I feel bad even thinking about it. But seriously, I'm fried.
My son got his cast off and his brace and DBB.

Plus his first pair of non orthodic shoes in a year. YAY. :)
Then I was heading home around 11 tonight and I came upon a car accident.

I was slowing down but the people in front of me weren't. There were two cars, side by side and the one on the left tried to just get over (to avoid pushing the car to the right up to the guard rail but neither of them hit. Well, I hit my brake to avoid them and slid.

I managed to keep my car from hitting the two cars in front of me but in the process fishtailed. I ended very far ahead of the other cars. I was thankful my airbags didn't deploy, I'm terrified of them.

After listening to the cops yell at one another for what happened and exchanging information. Mind you there are about 7 of us standing in 20 degree, snowy, rainy weather waiting for them to make up their minds. We were right on the border of two cities.

Some of the accident started in one city but we all ended up in the next city. Neither city wanted to handle the report.
Since I was facing the wrong direction and of my angle, I told the guy who I hit that he should pull his car away.

The officer was sitting there the least amount of damage, while I told the guy to cut his wheel to the left and drive VERY slowly. Then I held my breath as the cars scraped up. be nothing wrong with either of our cars.

The officer told the guy to look at it in the morning and give me a call before he calls the insurance. No sense in going through the insurance if it is simply a little scratch. We'll see what happens.

I wasn't hurt. I wasn't cited, not even for failing to show proof of insurance. We just canceled our old and wrote a new policy.

I'm covered but have not received my cards yet!
So..

. as I said, bitter sweet. I'm going to bed now!

LOOOOONG day.
A man and his wife are dining at a table in a plush restaurant, and the alone at a nearby table, until the wife asks,
"Do you know her?"
"Yes," sighs the husband, "She's my ex-wife.

She took to drinking right after we divorced seven years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober "My God!" says the wife, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating Lose one.
Time waits for no one.

Treasure every moment you have.
You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special.
And the world makes you king for a day,
And see what THAT man has to say.

Whose judgment upon you must pass,
Is the one staring back from the glass.
And call you a wonderful guy.
If you can't look him straight in the eye.

He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear to the end,
If the guy in the glass is your friend.
And get pats on the back as you pass,
If you've cheated the man in the glass.

Thank you to everyone who is helping keep the compliments in the Top letters! They are really making my day that much more fun.
Leanne is very busy doing much organizing and helping her friend.

If anyone would like to contact me about it, I'm helping Leanne out quite a bit. I can direct you to what you can donate and where to send donations. Leanne and her friend Ellen really appreciate all the support.

I went and seen a neurosurgeon for my back. We decided to try to allow it to self heal so I need to wear a back brace for the next three months. Hot, right?

Better then surgery! Though I may need surgery along the line..

. for now I don't. :) I have to call tomorrow to schedule my appointment to get my brace.

..
I went to the doctor on Wednesday for my back.

He wants me to get an MRI and most likely will glue my vertebrae back together. It's an outpatient widening my fracture, placing glue in it and putting the bones together..

. I need to have that done next week. Aren't I lucky?

In the mean time, I'm on percs for the pain.
Someone shoot me. Please.

For all your thoughts and prayers.
The surgery went well. So well that they sent us home tonight instead of having him stay.

He was a hell cat at the hospital. It started with him not wanted to keep his night gown on when we got there. Then he wanted his ID bracelet off.

Then he wanted out of his crib. THEN he was mean to all the doctors, nurses and the anesthesiologist..

. Finally they took him back for the surgery and this time I was allowed to go back with him.
