Is it summer yet??

Here is a picture of my new haircut and color.

  

Here is the back view, it's the shortest my hair has ever been.     

                              

I am sick of the weather being cold and I am getting excited for some warm weather.  For this reason I decided to get a new summer look.  I am ready for the summer....now the weather just needs to start cooperating. Most of you know I really don't do anything too crazy with my hair, but I hadn't been blond for awhile and decided to go back.  People always say that blonds have more fun!! My hairdresser/friend Lori has slowly been coercing me to go shorter so I just went for it.  I think this is probably as short as I will go but you never know. It's probably not that short to most people but I am used to always being able to put my hair in a ponytail. Besides getting my hair done last week I also had the "opportunity" to help my mom babysit the grand kids.  They are definitely full of energy but are so entertaining. I was able to do some coloring and build some towers with them.  We also rested for a minute (that was all they were willing) and watched some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  They bring me such joy in my life and I am so lucky to have all of them live so close.  I can't wait for the summer so we can have our weekly swimming parties.  Erin is already wanting us to bring out the pool but I told her we had to wait until it gets a little warmer!! Me my mom and my brother are going to Cali for a quick trip next weekend.  My cousin Greg's son Tristan is getting baptized by Scott so we are going to support Tristan.  I will post some pics of the trip next week.   Hangin with Erin and Justin

Deal or No Deal??

This last weekend my mom and her friend decided to try out for Deal or No Deal.   At first I thought I was going to have to wake up at the butt crack of dawn and go get in line with her.  Thankfully at the last minute her best friend Vicki decided to go with her letting me off the hook!! It was my mom's bday that weekend so I volunteered to drop them off instead.  The weekend started out great I met my mom and Vicki at this really nice Italian restaurant called Lagonos.  We all got the same thing chicken ravioli and it was delish.  After dinner we went back to our hotel.  We stayed just a couple miles away from where they were doing the auditions so they could get there early and not have to spend the night there.  They woke up around 5 am and I dropped them off a little before 6.  When they got there not many people were ahead of them except for those that had slept in tents that night.  I guess there were four rounds to get through and my mom and Vicki made it to the 3rd round.  You were supposed to sell yourself in 20 seconds and if they liked you then you moved on.  My mom wanted to be on the show so bad she pulled her wig off 3 times to try and show the producers how much her and Howie have in common.  It wasn't a complete success but they both had fun so that's all that counts.  When I went to pick them up the line wrapped all the way around the block so I was glad they got there before the line was too long.  After the auditions me and my mom met my two sisters in Park City for lunch and some shopping. The next day everyone came over for cake and ice cream.  Happy Birthday mom I love you and I am so privileged to have such a wonderful mom.  You are such a great inspiration and great example to me.  I hope one day that I will be able to be half the mother you are!! 

Here is my mom and her two little helpers blowing out her yummy birthday cake Jen made.

Take me out to the ball game!!

This week has been great because baseball season started on Monday.  I am very optimistic about my team the Yankees chances this year.  There is nothing better than knowing your favorite team has the best player ever.  He may not always play the best in the playoffs but I still wouldn't trade him for anyone.  I am especially excited because I am going to see them play this year in Anaheim.  Anytime I get to go to California is nice but getting to watch the Yankees and spend time with my family there will make it that much better. I had the privilege of going to two Yankees games last year and they were both awesome.  The first game we didn't have the best seats but we did get to watch the Yanks beat the Red Sox so it was worth it.  Watching A-Rod hit a home run and Mo coming in to save the game were just the cherry on top.  The second game we watched was against the Devil Rays.  I thought for sure this would be a win, but I was wrong.  The Yankees got spanked but we had really good seats for that game so I got some good pics.  If you haven't ever gone to a professional baseball game I highly recommend it.  There is no experience like it.  The fans are always entertaining even if the game is not.  I went to my first Yankees game in 2002 and it was against the Red Sox again but they lost that game.  The best part of the night was the subway ride there.  We were packed into the subway like sardines because most people going to the game rode the subway.  I was standing up holding onto a pole next to my sisters when all of a sudden I felt a hand on my butt.  Since it was so crowded I didn't think much of it.  I just rotated a little and figured the hand would be gone but it wasn't. The hand seemed to follow my every movement.  I looked at my mom who was sitting in front of me and the lady she was talking with pointed out that a guy next to me was grabbing my butt!! At this point I didn't know what to do.  I wasn't about to piss off a New Yorker so I just tried to move away from him, fortunately for me he got off at the next stop.  About five minutes later a guy came into our section and was drunk and rambling on about how he hated white people....I was really second guessing my trip to NY at this point.  To make matters worse they stopped the subway so the police could go from car to car in search of a murder suspect. Yikes!! Once we FINALLY arrived to the game it was a torrential down pour and the game was delayed for over an hour.  Because of the rain delay we were able to spend some quality time with fellow Yankee fans and harass the Red Sox fans.  Back then the Yankee fans were still able to chant 1918 (those were the days).  My first Yankee game experience was very memorable, but I hope make many more memories with each game I am able to attend.  Go Yankees!!!!!  

(let's face it.....baseball butts are also a nice bonus especially when they belong to Derek Jeter and A-rod)
