Listen To This GEM. Random stories and thoughts from my life. Tuesday, September 29, 2009. I Don't Bounce Back Like I Used To! Patrick and I were away with my family this past weekend to tailgate for my dad's birthday at Penn State. We had a blast despite the 50 degree temps, torrential rain, and awful performance by the team. I made cupcakes that were really good in theory, but turned out looking something like this:. The past couple of weeks have totally kicked my ass. I am home from work today wit...

Listen To This GEM. Random stories and thoughts from my life. Thursday, July 30, 2009. We had a mostly rainy week over at our beach house this year. Gianna and I felt the same way about this. Especially since we were just about to leave for an afternoon on the beach. Then I learned that the rain isn't so bad and that it's fun to splash in puddles. In fact, our whole family liked it! Even while wearing our clothes! Those days were WAY cooler. There were some accidents. There were some messes. We are hones...

Listen To This GEM. Random stories and thoughts from my life. Thursday, May 20, 2010. Still no pictures in the mail, but the show must go on! Otherwise I know I will forget details and that would just suck and defeat the purpose of having a blog.]. Today I'm going to write about each of the small details we tried to include and hopefully soon I can just upload the pictures. Truth is I'd much rather write about this than the other stuff. During cocktail hour we didn't want the typical harp or piano player...

Listen To This GEM. Random stories and thoughts from my life. Tuesday, March 9, 2010. See if you can follow that title. Patrick and I participated in our Pre. Than I had imagined. I also volunteered us to come back next year as brand new newlyweds and present a category. I guarantee you we get intimacy or family planning! I think this will play itself out. but I am still none too happy. On that note, I'm off to go do something to burn calories and not eat. for another 46 days. March 19, 2010 at 8:18 PM.

Listen To This GEM. Random stories and thoughts from my life. Saturday, June 27, 2009. Thursday, June 25, 2009. From Gotham City to the Emerald City. It has been raining for twenty one of the last twenty seven days here in New York. It is not fun. It is very depressing. Oddly, my brother and I sent my dad to the US Open for father's day and it was a gorgeous day. Two points for us! We're getting there- slowly but surely! Two other fun pieces of news. I actually made an appointment to go dress shoppin...

Listen To This GEM. Random stories and thoughts from my life. Monday, November 30, 2009. I thought this holiday would be awful. I almost had anxiety about eating dinner. Same as I've been doing for twenty something years on this day. My *favorite* holiday. Too much has changed in our family and too much was raw or unknown. It was not even two weeks since we lost our patriarch and I didn't even want to go through the motions, but how could we not? Who would sit at the head of the table? We can wear JEANS?

Listen To This GEM. Random stories and thoughts from my life. Tuesday, June 8, 2010. Everybody Loves. The Costigans. I burst out laughing and Patrick rolled his eyes and said AT YOUR HOUSE. Quick reminder here that my aunt and uncle live across the street. my other aunt and uncle live nextdoor. My other aunt lives down the block. There is an abundance of chairs, porches and decks ready to greet them. They choose our living room and we hope they always do. Isn't the shredding a bit much? C jane enjoy it.

Listen To This GEM. Random stories and thoughts from my life. Tuesday, January 12, 2010. Whew I am totally not winning the "regular blogger of the year" award this year. And we are only a couple of weeks in. Oy. Okay, where was I? Oh right, the end of the madness of Family Game Night. The very next morning, we woke up to a giant stretch limo and twelve of our friends in my parent's living room. It was Wine Tasting Day! No, this is not a tradition but we're allowed to start new ones.aren't we? Let me just...
