for the love of the game

Last night Baby Ray Ray

-Ray Allen-my favorite player on the Celtics

broke the record for most 3-pointers made

EVER

in the history of the NBA!!

This is him getting congrats from Reggie Miller, the former record holder.

I remember watching Reggie when I was a kid

when I was just starting to fall in love with basketball. :)

It's pretty sweet that I got to play some ball last night as well...

A few of us alumni scrimmaged the Varsity Lady Indians

It's always fun to play with my cousin, Steph

we grew up playing together.
(This pic is us on the way to a District softball game)

We still have the same never-fail routine...

 I PASS, SHE SHOOTS. :)

And..

I got to meet my cousin Mikey's new baby,

Violet May

Vi and Dayt... :) :) :)

On to tomorrow...Mini-Celtics and Caroline's birthday party.

FUN FUN FUN

cabin fever no more!

Sometimes life/work/everything makes you a little bit crazy...

THIS CRAZY????

Frankly...I doubt it.

However,

with the Packers beating Ben Rapistburger in the SuperBowl,

a new episode of GLEE,

and the birth of a brand new cousin...

there is hope on the horizon

Cutie Patootie Aaron Rogers led the Packers to a 31-25 victory over the Steelers

and took home the MVP :)

Glee was...

amazing as always :)

and hopefully inspirational.

This homophobic football player saw the error of his ways. :)

(No...he didn't actually get showered by a rainbow...

but I took that pic of the TV trying to capture the pinnacle..)

and

My cousin Mikey's girlfriend, Carlie, is having a baby!!

LIKE RIGHT NOW!! ;)

Can't wait to meet that beautiful baby :)

They have chosen the name, "Violet."

I just love it!! Can't wait to meet her. :)

pretty p!nk

Made a wrong turn, once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good', it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated
Look, I'm still around

Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You're perfect to me!

You're so mean, when you talk about yourself, you were wrong
Change the voices in your head, make them like you instead
So complicated, look happy, you'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred...such a tired game
It's enough! I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same

Oh, pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You're perfect to me

The whole world's scared so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line, and we try try try, 

but we try too hard and it's a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They dont like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that?

Why do I do that..?

Yeah, oh, oh baby, pretty baby..!
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're perfect to me
You're perfect, you're perfect!
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less thank perfect,
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You're perfect to me...

-P!NK

100th Birthday!!

What a beautiful winter day. :)

And, okay, fine, it's not really anyone's 100th birthday...

but it is my 100th blog, and my Grandmother's 81st birthday! :)

I thought I'd lure you in with a catchy title.

I learned that in Journalism 101 ;)

Yesterday, Mom and I taught Sunday School.

Jade spent a well-deserved night away with her hubby.

The kids sang "Jesus Loves Me" and "Jesus Loves the Little Children"

and watercolored...

This one is Dayton's.

Framed, it became GG's birthday present.

I stopped at Dunkins and got us all coffee...

I was pretty excited that they were rooting for the Celtics, too. :)
They played the Lakers 
(hence my BEAT L.A. tee in my pic with Grammie)
and they won!!!

We went to visit her after church and brought a PARTY. :)

Happy Birthday, my beautiful, sweet Grammie. :)

 Wishing you all warm blessings as we brace for more snow.

Another blizzard tomorrow, they say...

Thank you to my followers and readers for your comments 

and facebook "likes" on my little blog. :)

It's truly a love of mine this NJaW...

I hope you know now that it's true.

Not Just a Waitress.

not JUST an anything...

and neither

are you.

I am posting my Simple Pleasures

I hate the snow, the sleet, the cold, the shoveling, the...well ALL OF IT!!

Except for the icicles!!!

Marveling at the icicles is my simple pleasure :)

Here's a few reasons why I hate the snow...

Halfway there!!

I did it!!  

Look at all that snow and the big lump on the right where K's car truck used to be :)

(he hates when I call his truck a "car."  haha...men.)

While I'm at it 

I would like to add two more simple pleasures...

Diet Mountain Dew 

on tap at Chuck E. Cheese :)

and some wine and conversation with an old friend. :)

Happy Weekend, Ya'll :)

some winter images...
