Went to the gym this morning and I made plans with my girlfriend to go to see the movie Bridesmaids this afternoon. I am really looking forward to seeing this as I have heard its really funny! I will let you know. When I got home and told Steve my plans, he didn't say a word but I know what he was thinking..."better you than me!" This is definitely not a movie that my hubs would enjoy!
It will be good to get out for a bit as I am a little sad today actually. My mom called me last night to tell me that my older cousin died yesterday. She had been diagnosed with bone cancer about 4 months ago and never came home from the hospital. Its very sad. She has two children, 28 and 30 who have now lost both their parents. My heart goes out to both of them. My mom and sister will be going to the wake and I wish I could also go.
This cousin, while I haven't seen her in about 5 years was very special to me. She lived a wild life and for a while, when I was young, she lived with us. It was pretty cool for my sister and I to have a hip, older cousin living in the house with us. This was during the mid-seventies and she had the best platform high heels ever! Draz, you would so approve! Her mother died about 3 years ago and I have to say, I don't think she was ever the same again. She was very close to her mom and her mother was like a protector to her. She was always getting into some kind or trouble or other and her mother would always be there. When her mom died, she really didn't have anyone to go to for help. She was really a troubled soul if there ever was one. She had 1 older brother and 2 younger ones but its not the same as your mother. Anyway, I will miss you Cherie....you were a special person and will be missed.
Another thing that is bothering me this weekend is that Memorial Day was always something special when we lived on LI. It signified the being of summer and cookouts. There was always something going on at my house, my sisters house or my mothers house in addition to friends having get-to-gethers. Since moving to FL, I find that its not such a big deal and it really makes me miss being up north with my family.
Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing the movie today and will let you all know how it is. I am sure Steve and I will be going for a bike ride this weekend and making our own memories right here in FL.
Have a great holiday weekend!

Sorry to hear about your cousin, but she is in a good place now, Jac. I hope you enjoy the movie and that you and Steve have a nice holiday weekend. Thanks for all the well wishes and I am feeling a bit less like I want to kll myself today...LOL
All of your support has meant the world to me!
Sorry for your loss! I saw the movie last week, it was funny, but very raunchy in parts. I was with my sister and sister-in-law and a neighbor who's older and well, they were offended. I wasn't offended but kind of felt bad for laughing when they were so offended. I'll be anxious to hear what you have to say about it! Have fun!
Sorry to hear about your spirited cousin. I pray you and your family are comforted at this time. Remember the good things.
Sending you virtual hugs.
We hope to get out on the bike too this weekend and I promise I'll think of you. I'm so sorry about your cousin...how terrible...I wish I could say something to make you feel better but just know you are in my thoughts. xoxo
I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin...cancer is a bitch. She's not suffering anymore, and that's what's important. I know you wish you could be at the services, but you are there in spirit.
Hope the movie is fun! I want to see it too! I wish I could go for a ride on a Harley...gotta find me a guy with one of those... :)
Enjoy your weekend!
I am so sorry about your cousins passing. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I want to see that movie this weekend too. I keep hearing how funny it is.
I am also so sorry about your cousin, you have suffered too many losses....
Great to know you and Steve will make new Florida memories, way to go on that one (and I like that exercise is involved!!!)
Sorry for your loss.........
I went to see Bridesmaids with my girlfriend on Thursday. It was her birthday, so I took her out for lunch and a martini first. We loved the movie....brash..yet soooo relatable.

Hi.
Just found your blog and I wondered why your revising? I am also going through trying to get a revision from band to RNY. (my insurance won't pay for anything else). I have had no success with the band and nothing but trouble.
Sorry to hear about your cousin. I hope you still have a good week end making new memories in Florida.
p.s. Thanks for your comments and the 12WBT is a fitness and weightloss program, lead by one of the Australian Biggiest Loser trainers :o) Fun times!!!
So sorry to hear of your loss, so very sad. :-(
Sounds like the girl's day out was the perfect plan, hope you enjoyed the movie.
We are in Ormond this weekend, have been here since Thursday night. We had the kids here so it was busy, laying back today and leaving this evening.
xoxoxo
So sorry about your cousin Jacque...I know it is so hard on top of everything else you have dealt with over the last year.
I have been catching up on blogs and I had to go way back for yours...I'm so sorry you have had such issues with the band, but AMAZING at how well you have done and it wasn't even really working to full capacity?! woah! I'm excited for the new step in your journey and glad you are able to do it.
