The Girls...

...the last time you will see them together sober. We had drinks at Chickie's during the afternoon. All except Erin. She was sniffing glue in the parking lot. Oh wait, I was sniffing glue. She had two Corona's (ah hah! Now Jermaine will know). This past Saturday I arranged for all of my bridesmaids to get together to try on dresses, have some drinks (and lunch), and get acquainted. It was a great day and we actually found dresses that everyone liked!


This is Danielle & Annie at Chickie's and Pete's. Annie has a straw in her Coors Light, because in her words "I'm gettin' inebriated today" (yes, she did say inebriated)





Erin & I (at the same place)







I am so thankful to have these three women in my life that are going to share a part of my special day! It was special until Danielle puked in the car when the cop pulled me over for cutting off an entire row of trafic in downtown Philly. I'm glad I didn't get locked up, because when the cop told me to go around everyone I said, "Don't tell me what to wear, Cookie Monster!". I was intoxicated to say the least.

PS - This is how it really went down, Erin. Remember?

In reality, no one got wasted, desired to be inebriated, sniffed glue, puked or...oh wait. I did cut-off an entire row of traffic. It was a real nice get together and I hope to do it again when the weather gets nice.

A weekend with Aiden & Riley

So, John's patience was tested this past weekend in terms of future child rearing...

On Friday, after a long and boring work meeting in Somerset, NJ, I headed up to Allentown to pick up my nephews Aiden & Riley (ages 5 and 3 respectively). We came back to our house and made pizzas and stayed up until our eyes couldn't stay open anymore! Needless to say, the kids were up until 1 am (I was passed out). 7:15 am "Auntie Kristy, Auntie Kristy can I have some french toast" Aiden belts out. Rubbing my eyes to see what time it was I say "sure sweetie" and began the day! We had a fun day - Uncle John building forts in the living room, Riley playing teletubbies on the "puter", stopping by Erin's house to see Amelle (after her birthday party), taking naps, and going to Pizzeria Uno for dinner. Oh, they also got to try out our jacuzzi tub - note to self, use less bubble bath in a tub that has jets! I spent the entire time with a towel wiping up suds that were overflowed!

Riley, trying not to get soap in his eyes!


Thankfully, even though Aiden was up until midnight Saturday, he slept in until 9 am Sunday! As hectic as our weekend was, it is so great to spend time with our nephews!

John's Hair - Take II

John and I seem to be having an unspoken race to grow our hair the longest before the wedding. Let's see how far he has been coming along:







I think he may even have a chance for America's top model!!
