Mumford & Sons - Winter Winds

Mumford & Sons is my new favorite band of the week (and the last few weeks). Perfect fall listening music. It just makes me want to curl up with a bag of Saltine Crackers in front of a fire with a good book and a blanket! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do....CHEERS!

New Blog...New Adventures???

Well, here we go! I have found myself in the most unlikely place in life right now and I thought starting a new blog could be therapeutic. A place where I can put my thoughts and maybe find a little sanity. So here I go...
So you might be wondering what is going on in my life, right? Of course you are, because you are dying to know, hence the title of my blog (sarcasm implied).
I have found myself knocked up after 13 years of not being able to get pregnant and quite happy with my fabulous 13 year old daughter being my only child! Pregnant after deciding in June to downsize from our 4 bedroom house to our current 2 bedroom beach side condo! My adorable baby girl, Michayla Joy or MJ for short, will be 14 when this said baby will be born, and when she graduates from High School, said baby will be starting Kindergarten. I will be starting all over...at this realization right now, I need to put down this computer and grab a ginger beer and tums...be right back.

Okay, I have composed myself, I am going to be okay (I think)!

All my people, those would be my friends and family, are so excited, thrilled, over the moon! Oh, to live vicariously through someone else's pregnancy and not to have to deal with any of the miseries of finding yourself knocked up. For example let's just take last nights events, none of my people had to toss their carne asada fries in a dark ally while children were trick or treating in town and more than likely be a lesson to children, "See kids, that is why you don't drink alcohol. Tsssk, tsssk, tsssk..." I can't even have a glass of wine, beer or morning mimosa with brunch, a past time I enjoyed very much! But hey, my people can be excited about this monkey that will be what I call, "The Community Baby"! The village will raise this child!

Tonight is Halloween and I managed to make my daughter a tutu in between bouts of running to kneel at the porcelain throne. I must admit, just typing that sentence makes me feel like some sort of motherly saint, domestic goddess, or crazy loon hellbent on playing with tulle and ribbon (so pretty)! I have decorated Halloween cups, made cocktails for my friends (without much resentment), bought some fake eyelashes, and hopefully will be attending a BBQ tonight (without tossing anything up), while MJ and her friends trick or treat for the first time by themselves (Lord have mercy).
So there you go, there is my first blog post, because you were just dying to know!
