"Let's Hear it for the Boys ".

My Submission:This picture was taken over the weekend at my friend, Catherine's, house.
It was her son, Colton's, 1st birthday party.
It's hard work turning 1, and the little guy was exhausted.

Tag...I'm it!

I was tagged, for realz this time, by Headless Mom.

Did you hear she's one of my roomies at Blogher?
I know you're jealous!

It's the 6x6 photo meme.
Here's my photo:

This photo was taken over Memorial Day weekend.
It was our 1st Annual - Sink or Swim - Girls River Trip Weekend.
We had an absolute BLAST!
In the photo are my friends Carrie, Charlie, Vanessa & of course ME.
This was on Sunday night.
We were at the Jamey Johnson concert at the Whitewater Sports Live Music Amphitheater.
It was a night of great live music, great friends and COLD beer.
And yes, I may have been a little bit intoxicated when this picture was taken.
I'm just sayin'...

The rules:

1) Go to your photo files
2) Pick the sixth folder (open)
3) Pick the 6th photo
4) Write a story about the photo
5) Tag six people

I'll tag: Issa, Amy, Heather, Karen, Hebba & Spoiled Mommy.

Tag ladies...

You're IT!

Feelings, sometimes I wish they would #suckit...

**disclaimer**
If you are one of my "real life" friends, please read with caution.
You've been warned.

Every now and again I get this feeling.
A feeling that I hate.
A feeling that turns me into the jealous type.
A feeling I wish I could shake.
I've grown to learn it's unshakable.
It's just who I am.

This feeling takes me back to my high school days.
When I wasn't "cool" enough;
I wasn't "thin" enough;
I wasn't part of the "in" crowd.
I was always left out.

You would think the "feelings" would go away with age.
Yeah, apparently they don't.

I have a pretty BIG group of friends.
And when it comes to friendship I like to think that I'm as LOYAL as they come.
I like to make sure that EVERYONE is included when outings happen.
If I'm going to a game, a bar, a concert I always invite.
I.ALWAYS.INVITE.
So why is it that I'm ALWAYS left out?
Yes, I know if you're going out on a "school" night I will likely not join in.
But the invite, that's all I'm asking for.
One little phone call or text saying "Hey we're going to (fill in the blank), you want to come?"
Is that too much to ask?

Sure, I may be over-reacting.
But it's not a one time feeling.
It happens all the time.
And I'm at the point where I just want to say to hell with it.
If you want to see me, you want me to go out, then you're going to have to call me.
I'm done with calling and asking what the plans are.

Is this a wrong feeling?
Should I just see a therapist and get over it?
Will medication be involved?

**I realize I may regret posting this, but they're my feelings and I'm posting anyways.**

Congratulations to my friends...

Yesterday, February 21, 2009, was spent in Navasota, TX attending the wedding and reception of my good friends Jessica & Jeff.

The ceremony was beautiful and the reception a grand party.

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. McKnight!!!
The love, passion and friendship that you both share is something I hope to find some day.
I wish you both lots of happiness and love in the many years to come!

Wordless...Friends, Rain & Kenny!
