What I'm Reminiscing About
Blackout Weeks of Past and how much this has grown over the last 12 years...so thrilled to be back at it with a wonderful team!
What I'm Loving
Our Town...always but especially right now during Blackout Week...seeing people wear their shirts...businesses getting involved with creative fundraisers....it is empowering and warms my heart!
What We've Been Up To
We went back to school! Hello 10th and 4th Grade!
We celebrated Amanda and Nick's Wedding!
We enjoyed the last days of swimming for the season
The Birthday Celebrations Continued...we were spoiled by my parents with an awesome homemade pizza dinner and cake...needed to get a pic of my mom cutting the pizza with her kitchen scissors...a great memory from my childhood :)
and we relived Italy with breakfast at Tuscan and celebrated with friends at the Messina's too! :)
and freshy spoiled me too- ha!
Some of our favorite traditions started back up....dance classes with friends and another excuse for the parents to hang out ;)
Saturday Mornings at Starbucks before dance too!
We had a blast playing in the Martorana Strong Whiffle Ball Tournament with Friends- all to honor Jimmy!
and there have been lots of Sylvie Snuggles :)
Diana and I loved getting our "Fall Haul" at Trader Joe's!
and we have enjoyed a great Blackout Fundraiser- Special Drinks at Fuel Good in town!
There were more birthday celebrations...hope I don't sound too obnoxious- ha!
We loved Eva's Back To School Night!
and lunch dates with my main squeeze never get old
The Blackout Shirts came in and we got to work!
Someone is back on the ice!
and the grand finale of the 50th Birthday Celebrations was one of the best nights of my life...still makes me smile and treasuring these memories
Book Club at Laura's was a blast! We read "Nora Goes Off Script" by Annabel Monaghan
We squeezed in more time with Zach while he was home and Remi was very excited :)
and Blackout Week is off to an amazing start!
What I'm Dreading
A doctor's appointment coming up...I think it is PTSD from all of the trauma last year but nonetheless will be happy when it's over and hoping for a good report
What I'm Working On
JOBS! Finally busy again and if I don't make some placements soon I truly have to go in another direction because this is not working for me!!
What I'm Excited About
Some upcoming Taylor Swift and Halloween Festivities with friends. Kids keep you young for sure!
What I'm Watching/Reading
Going back to my favorite show of all time "Beverly Hills 90210"...just started it again from the beginning
and also enjoying "Suits"...I am on Season 2
My Two Books for September were
Nora Goes Off Script by Annabel Monaghan
(Book Club Read and SO GOOD!)
and Breakaway by Jennifer Weiner
Another winner!
What I'm Listening To
A little bit of everything but still mostly Taylor Swift and Shania Twain :)
What I'm Wearing
Sneaking in just a little Lilly on the warm days
But since Fall has returned...you will find black in most of my outfits...ha!
including Blackout Attire
and the return of my Bonjour Witches Sweater ;)
What I'm Doing This Weekend
