It's been awhile...

Well, it's been quite some time since I've blogged. Lots going on. As usual... work is keep me extremely busy and quite stressed. I visit my dentist last week, and found out that I grind my teeth --- mostly because of stress! I've chipped a couple teeth because of it, and one of them is even LOOSE!!! So, on Wednesday, I'm going to have my teeth smoothed down and fitted for a night guard. Fun, fun!

Hmmmm... what else is going on????

On a happier note... good news today. My cousin, Anthony, and his wife, Betsy, welcomed the newest addition to their family... a baby girl named Molly! Molly joins big-brother, Alexander, who is two-years-old!

I celebrated my birthday almost a month ago (May 19). I took the day off! :-) And, I went to Y-Town the night before to hang out with my parents and grandma. I spent most of my birthday with them and then headed back to Cleveland to go to the boat. Bob and I went to Outback Steakhouse for my birthday. Outback is catering our golf outing this year, so I wanted to give them some business as a thank you.

My family and Bob's parents came over on Sunday, May 21 to celebrate my birthday. Bob decorated the living room with balloons! :-) We also decorated Nix. LOL! :-)

I successfully directed my first cruise for the Berea Power Squadron. I was "talked into" being the Cruise Director for our group. We cruised to Vermilion the first weekend of June. Despite a rocky start and end with weather... everything else was great! We had 8 boats... with 18 members. A great time was had by all!

The next cruise that I'm responsible for is to Leamington, Ontario the final weekend of July... that would be the day after the golf outing and two days after Party in the Park. I'm going to NEED a vacation by then! I might not return from Leamington. LOL!!!

I can't really think of anything else that's been going on.

I've definitely been trying to spend more quality time with my friends and family. There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day anymore. I'm enjoying my weekends on the boat very much this summer. I've read 3 books in the past 4 weeks. :-) (Must read of the summer... James Patterson's "Sam's Letters to Jennifer"! LOVED IT!)

And speaking of the boat... how could I forget!?!?!? This past weekend was Bike Week in Sandusky. WOW!!! You should see the "characters" at the festival in downtown Sandusky on Saturday. Ladies with snakes, dogs big enough to ride, fire jugglers, teenage boys with babies, black clothes, leather pants, and tons and tons and tons of motorcycles!!

There was even a bride and groom walking through the crowd. She was barefoot. They were both carrying beers. And, she stopped to have her photo taken on a motorcycle. (I took photos of this strange sight! When I download them, I'll post them.)

Well... tis growing late and I'm tired, tired, tired. Another long tired day at work... and an extremely long commute home. It took almost 30-minutes to go about 5 miles. Ugh!!

Goodnight all. I hope to blog more often. :-)
