Mama and her friends.

If you know me personally, then you most probably have met Mama, my hilarious and outrageous Polish mother. If you have never had the pleasure of meeting her, then you most certainly have heard about her through my blog.  I very often insert comments about her endless advice, her fashionable style and of course, her hot red sports car.   Since I was little, I always thought Mama was fabulous.  Not only did she look like a star, but she was by far the funniest woman I ever knew.  She always had ridiculous stories, outrageous theories, and punch lines that she could never remember.....which made the joke all the more funny. And she was always the one to come waltzing down the stairs at our family parties dressed up as some gypsy goddess, covered in jewellery, and putting on the most hilarious show with her brother-in-law for all of us to watch and laugh.  And we did. With an energy so contagious, i t should come as no surprise to you that Mama seems to attract people to her

Lights! Camera! Ridiculous Girl!

It was time. It was time for me to do the unthinkable. Time to do something that I have dreaded doing for the past year. Something that I wanted to put off for even longer, but knew I couldn't. It took a nasty text from Mandy, for me to realize that I could not delay this inevitable task any further. Babe.  You HAVE to change your Ridiculous Girl profile pic.  I'm sorry, but the selfie's gotta go.  It's horrible.  I love you. xo I sighed and threw my cell on the couch and went back to watching The Bachelor .  I knew she was right.  I just wish I didn't have to get my pictures taken.  Especially now.  With everything I was going through, the last thing I needed was a camera inches away from my face.....revealing the darkness under my eyes and the worry lines I had recently acquired from the on-going stress of a separation in court. Ugh.  Why did I need pictures? Why couldn't I just write my blog and stay behind the scenes.  People didn&#

The weather outside is frightful.

  October 19, 2014 Ahhhhh.  Fresh crisp air.  Breathe it in!  "MMM....AHHHHHHH......." What an incredible day.   Nothing like spending a beautiful fall day at a pumpkin farm!  This is the best. October 31, 2014 Oh how I love Hallowe'en!  Running around from house to house filling my bag with candy.   I mean....filling the KID'S bags with candy :) It's a little bit cold, and rainy.  Kind of wish it wasn't raining.  But that's ok!  Still a gorgeous evening! November 8, 2014 Off to girls night!   Hmmm....should I wear a coat?  Nah!  It's not THAT cold.  I'll just run into the restaurant really fast. Oh shit....that's cold.   That's ok though!  I'll survive!  I'm a tough cookie.  November 16, 2014 Santa Claus Parade!  Yayyy!!! Glad I bundled up.  It's nipply out here. Still a fabulous evening!  Fireworks, music, Santa!  So much fun! But damn...... my toes are flippin' cold. I wish I remembered to

I am NOT just a girl. Well......

In the last 10 minutes of Sunday's 49th Super Bowl championship, by overcoming a 10 point deficit, Tom Brady brought victory to the New England Patriots with a 28-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Sounds like I know what I'm talking about right?   Well I don't. I have no interest in football whatsoever.   Yet, for some strange reason, I cannot go a single year without missing the Super Bowl.  The excitement and adrenaline of the match combined with the best concert of the year is enough to have me hooked on a sport that otherwise never interests me. And I know absolutely nothing about football.  Absolutely nothing...... ----------------------------------------------- Fall 1996 "Hey Leo!  Wanna join us??  We're going over to the field to play." I looked over at my roommate who was standing at the front door.  He was wearing a track suit and holding up some sort of large and brown ball.  "Ummm.  I don't know?  I was abou
