Saturday A Great Time to Update My Blog

so this is my first post in a longtime. so many things has happened that I really don't know where to begin but i think i'm going to break it down on a month to month basis. let's see my last post was in march and now it is june- june 6 to be exact oh &*^% i was married on this day 11 year. ok that's enough energy in that direction shall we move on.

all of march i was raising money and awareness for the march of dimes march for babies. see i was my companies team leader- so i rallied our employees together in the different offices to participate in bake sales and candy sales to raise funds. in the mist of the we had bring your children to work day in which i was also in headed that event. the march of dimes march for babies walk was held on april 26 in lincoln center and we raised collectively $14,000. i raised alone almost $3,000. i love this charity- my family and i walked for the past four years.

oh also in march and may had some acupunture done on my ears for relaxation- loved it. every other month they have happy hour for $15 for 30 minutes of acupuncture for your ears.

then toward the end of april i volunteered for tribeca film festival (4th year) it was great but because i have a job i wasn't able to devote as much time as i would have liked to the festival- shoot i wasn't even able to view any of the free movies that they offer to the volunteers- so i gave my tickets away to some the other volunteers to enjoy. the festival began in the wake of 911 by R. D`eniro to give us NYer's a since of hope in a time of despair. during the first year a tremendous amount of people from all walks of life volunteered their time.

so now where in may and sometime in let's say second week of april i decided to give my daughter a sweet sixteen party on mother day's- no really this year her b-day fell on mother's day. so i quickly designed invites, t-shirts, candles & holders, bags for the t-shirts, party list and not to mention dressed the birthday girl. the party was held in harlem lanes and all i had to do was set a few tables and they did everything else.

so now that brings us to end of may - i had my first barbecue on the sunday before memorial day - it was very successful; of course i began preparing the food 6 days in advance but that's what make real bbq i suppose.

i guess we should be in june now right? i figured i would start posting today because right now honey and I are on vaca in ocean city, md at fager's island and our view is the bay through big bay windows. it is as serene and peaceful as you can image that i couldn't think of anything else to do but write.

as i sit looking out into they bay I hear a buzz so i jump and fan my ear to realize its only my damn blackberry vibrating. I smile and look over to my honey who's probably in his 10th dream in sneaker heaven to make sure he did just see my awkward moment. i stare at my bb for a moment then reached over for it. its from a blog that i subscribe to and the post for the day is "weekend is here...perfect time to get your blog in order"- i rest my head back on the pillow, look out at the bay and smile......
