Goodbye 2007!

I am so looking forward to this year being over! It wasn't one of my best to say the least. I haven't ironed out my plans for this evening, but I will be celebrating the end of this year. I'm looking forward to 2008 and the new things it will be offering me...new home, new job, possibly a new relationship. Who knows?!

Wishing you all a fun and safe New Year!

Hugs and Kisses!!!

Merry Christmas

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday spent with family and friends.

Merry Christmas!

Love to you all,

Kim

Going back to Cali

I keep singing that song by LL Cool J because I'm moving back to NJ in January. I'm going to be living with my sister, her roommate Gina and her kids Aidan and Gracie. It will be quite a change for me. I'm happy to be moving closer to my family, but I'm sad to be leaving my home of 8 years. I have known for a few weeks now, but having even begun to pack. It's kinda hard looking at your things knowing some will be packed away for quite some time and others will have a new home. I'm going to miss my PA life and friends. But, I'm looking forward to a fresh start in NJ and for 2008. I guess I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by the whole thing and this will be the first time I'm moving by myself. As always, I guess I'll get by with a little help from my friends.

Today is my BFF's Birthday

Happy Birthday Buddy! Hope you have a great one.

Steph and I have been friends for several years now, but in the past 2 she's been a huge source of strength for me. In fact, she's kinda gotten the crappy end of the bargain having to deal with me and all the drama.

No matter how crappy I'm feeling she can make me laugh like no one else. She gets me. She knows the good, bad and ugly and loves me anyway.

And, she is an amazing mother. She has a great son the she raised on her own and she has a lot to be proud of.

I'm so lucky to have her in my life.

Love you, mean it.

Pictures from my partaaay!

Me, Steph and Bart went up to the Grill to have a few drinks for my bday then we moved the party back to Bart's house. Most of Mac Grill showed up and we had a blast! Steph stayed until midnight, I think just to make sure I stayed in check. ;) And, I did! Here are some pics:

Steph, me and Sammie

The Rockstar Bartendars! I never leave home without them. ;)

Me and my buddy Reese.

It was so cool that everyone came back to celebrate with me. And, since that was the last birthday I plan to celebrate I went out with a bang! HAHAHAHA

Ciao!

This is what 39 looks like...

Today I turned 39! Take a good long look because this is the last birthday I will be celebrating. I already had breakfast made for me by my neighbor, been taken to a fabulous lunch by a dear friend and had a kiss ass martini. Tonight I'm going out for champagne and tomorrow I'm partying with my peeps. Thanks to all of you who have sent cards, called, texted, emailed, etc. I am so incredibly blessed with an amazing family and group of friends. I truly could not have gotten through this past year without you. I am determined to make this a good year. I finally feel like I am finding myself. I'm sad that some things have ended and happy for some things to be beginning.

Now on to the long recap. Most of you know by now that Selma was put to sleep without my consent or knowledge. She died alone and it broke my heart. I do have her ashes so she is back with me. I just wish I could have said goodbye.

On to some fun stuff...

Spent Halloween with Gracie and Aiden. Here's a picture of my and my bff:

We were "titty tats".

Steph and I went to the Temple/Penn State game with my dad, uncle, brother and his friends. None of us went to Temple or Penn State, but we went to have a good time and that we did! We froze, but it was worth it! Here are some pics:

Here's one of my and my daddy.

Oh, and here's one of cute football player butts:

I'm spending Thanksgiving with my sister and Gina and then I will be heading over to visit my grandmother and aunt for dessert.

Hope you all have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!

Ciao.

I've got one sick pig on my hands

and it doesn't look good. Got word last night that Selma has cancer. I'm heart broken. Going to pick her up from Penn today, consult with an oncologist and then make some tough decisions.
