Crazy 2013 so far.

So have been thinking a lot lately. Seems like in life you never really get ahead. You're always chasing that dream that is just slightly out of reach. Something happened today to really question weather going to school is really worth it. I have not been very happy with 2013 as of now. Also, today we got the news that a family friend Mario Covarubbias passed away yesterday. He literally drank himself to death. Very sad. On a happier note I absolutely love Ellen Degeneres and Grumpy Cat!

Very Uneventful Sunday

Well, went to church this morning, made breakfast, cleaned and pretty much did nothing. Shawn and I went to Kohl's to shop for his birthday. I think I need a support group because I'm addicted to Kohl's. LOL! Can't wait to say TGIF this week.

OMG! He's the cutest!

As long as I live I will never understand teenage boys...specifically my little brother Shawn

I just need to get this off of my chest. He got his grades back from school and had all Bs and Cs so we were so happy and going to get his temps and start letting him drive. Today he breaks down and tells me he got a D in auto body. Not english or math or anything else but he picked this training because he wants to do it when he grows up. Ugh and by the way so ready for Friday but wish I didn't have to work Saturday.

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

So Tom and I heard that there was going to be a free concert at the Zucchini festival in Obetz, Ohio. We decided well we like her so let's go. Shawn, Tom, and I ended up going and I have to say that I think it was the best concert I've ever been to. She played for an hour and a half for FREE! Absolutely amazing lady. Now I'm on a serious Joan Jett kick and so is my husband and my little brother. I think they loved her as much as I did. AMAZING!! I bought her 2 disc greatest hits CD and I just checked out her movie The Runaways. I can't wait to watch it. Here's a pic we took from the concert.

Tom's mom's 70th Birthday Party

So here's what happened. A few months back I told Tom we should have a big surprise party for his mom because she was turning 70. He agreed so I reserved the room at York Steak House which is her favorite place to eat. I invited everyone to come and we had a good crowd. I'm not sure of how surprised she was but oh well. I think she really enjoyed the party anyway. The participants were, Tom and I, Mary and Joe, Nona mom's best friend, Billy, Margie, Wesley and Josh, Dad and Lisa and the boys, and Shawn. Bradley her grandson stopped by for a few minutes too with little Brad. The sad thing was her only missing daughter didn't come and I think she was a little disappointed about that. All in all I think her 70th Birthday was a good one.

You never know how something so small will affect someone in such a huge way

This morning I was at work and a lady came in. She looked at me and said "Do you remember me? You took me home a long time ago. I was really pregnant, and needed a ride." It was close to where i live so I agreed. I have never agreed to take a stranger somewhere but with her being so pregnant and it being as hot as it was, I agreed to help her. She was so appreciative and thankful. Fast forward to today, she still lives in the same place and as of that day probably six years ago she still lives in the same place and come to find out she was recovering from a crack addiction at that time I saw her and took her home. She asked to speak to my supervisor and told her how I had gone above and beyond even though I didn't have to. She started crying and telling us how she was in a really bad place in her life and greatly appreciated my kindness. She even told my supervisor that I need a raise. LOL! What an amazing effect you can have in people's lives without even knowing it. It was so great to see her and see how well everything turned out. I hope to see her more often.
