Rambling...

Wow, my oh my, where has the time gone?! I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted. I never ever intend to take so long, but as we all know, that's what happens. I've had a lot going on and then again, not so much. Such is life, right?!

Not really sure and too lazy to figure out, where I left off, so I'll just highlight for ya.

I've gone to the lake twice this season, so far. I will of course be going way more. I just love it out there and the time with my boys is always a blast. Last weekend was Memorial Day and it was a quiet, relaxing weekend. The wave runner ended up breaking, but it's all good, we still had a great time.

Went to a BBQ at Daniel's on a Thursday, it was kind of an last minute thing and it turned out oh so well.

Book Club, yep, I'm in one. Don't read the books, but I'm in it. But in my defense I told them ahead of time I wouldn't read the books, so they all knew going into it. This months book is all about healthy eating and all that jazz, so I think Fern and I might go to the Green Market tomorrow and get some good stuff for Tuesday's club.

Oh, don't know that you all have met Fern. She lives in our building and I've seen her over the years and chatted, but she finally started hanging with us and of course, fits right in. She's a great cook and baker, so we are so lucky to have her in our crew.

We did a few films with the Tribecca Film Festival. We saw She's Our Brother and Shame. Both were good, but Shame was beyond outstanding, in subject content, the technical stuff, not the best, but it's low budget and actually didn't need it. The film spoke all on it's own.

I took at boating class, 8 hours, but at least now I am legal to ride the waverunners by myself and can take others out too. The class was in Flatbush, Brooklyn, a new part of NYC for me.

The day we bought our film tickets a group of us went to Bubby's, awesome place for brunch. It was Fern, Sara, Teresa, Erika, Laci and me. Fun day!

Oh, check this, went to Cozumel for a long weekend. Spur of the moment thing, but had the most wonderful time. Also got to see New Orleans for the first time.

Went to Nashville for my friend Lara's wedding. What a fun time. The wedding was great, got to see old friends and spend 5 days with my mama. I lost my wallet and had to file a police report so I could fly. Guess what, yep, found it after all that mess.

Lisa and Michelle came back to NYC for Lisa's Schools Music Competition. They did very well and we had lots of fun. Small issue at the Empire State Building, but other than that, great time.

Had a spur of the moment visit from Jonathan W and Stephanie. Got to spend time with Stephanie while Jonathan went to the Yankees game. We had a good time. Teresa went with us and it was fun hanging out, just the girls.

Went to the Minetta Lane Theater to see Kim Zimmer in a reading. It was for the Parkinsons Dieseas Foundation and they had a dinner after. It was a blast. Got to hang with Kim for hours. Total blast.

Oh, sweet goodness, never going to believe I forgot about Bryon's bday dinner. Talked to him that day, wished him happy bday, went home, was chilling out, totally forgot. Had my phone on vibrate, something told me to check it, yep, 21 missed calls. I had all of them worried to death. If there is one thing they all know, when it comes to Bryon I am ALWAYS on time, usually the first there and I would NEVER miss. They all thought something had happened to me. I called Daniel and figured out what I had done. Jumped in a cab and was there just before the food was served. I felt horrible, but what's a girl to do?! Bad Hag I am, bad!

Went to see Martina McBride in concert at Radio City. She was AMAZING. Went by myself and had a wonderful time.

Had dinner with John and Marylou. So great to see her and spend time with the two of them.

Went to Bubba Gump with Darlene (Downey), Nitza and Nitza's husband Ben. Totally great to finally meet him. We had a great time.

I had lunch with Leslie at uno and then dinner with Mint and Rach, oh and Kevin came too.

Oh I also went to a food tasting for Zen Palate with the crew and after we went to dinner. Yeah, I know, you would think food tasting, but that's just what it was a taste. Anyway, we were on our way to Zen and passed Cipriani's on Wall Street and they were having some red carpet thing. We saw Fergie and Fergie, the Duchess of York and the singer. Pretty cool thing, they had opera singers outside on the terrace singing for the red carpet. Really neat, and they were very good too.

Went to the movies last night with Bryon to see Pirates #3, I loved it and thought it was really good. Orlando Bloom is a hottie, so what's not to like. We had to walk right passed the red carpet for the FiFi awards. Who knew there was such an award. Yep, happened last night in the World Financial Center. It was for the perfume/frangrance industry. They went all out too, there was booths for everyone you can imagine, a red carpet and of course, everyone was in black tie. Pretty cool.

I think for now, that kind of catches it all up. I'll be back, not sure when, but I'll be back! :-)
