Birthday-fest 2013

 My fav neighbor and I kicked off our 2nd Annual 30th Birthday's at Suwanee Beerfest.  It was a beautiful day to be outside in Suwanee and enjoy the bands, food and of course a wide array of beers!
Our beer of choice and my new "Official Beer of Spring/Summer 2013"
Leinenkugels Berry Weiss

Waiting in line for our 3 OZ sample



Many beerfest attendees wore homemade pretzel necklaces, it is a genius idea and "cleanses your pallet" from the different tasting beers... wish we would have known as this would have really of come in handy... you know how good pretzels and beer go together!
As the day progressed we got a little "silly" and I was dared to eat a pretzel off of a strangers necklace. This kind gentleman was willing to share a pretzel with me!  
Can't wait until the fest continues with our 80's bowling party!
To end the day we arrived home to our husband's 3rd Annual Burning of the Yard Party-
They were finishing up as we arrived...
Picture Guys with lighters, beers and water hoses. It's a pretty ugly site (and mess) right now but in a few weeks our yards will be the greenest on the street.

"So, how's the baby?"

It amazes me how different peoples reactions are when I tell them I lost my baby. All in all I've only had to answer this question about six times. I know that it doesn't sound like an awful lot but each one still manages to throw me into a funk. Yesterday, three people, today one. I play these conversations over and over in my head and wonder how the other person took the news. It all starts with a sweet, innocent gesture, a simple: "So, how's the baby?" I reply, "Unfortunately, we lost her". If you can imagine the look of someone seeing a ghost, that's about the look I receive. I've heard: "I'm so sorry", "God Bless You", "that's not the answer that I was expecting" "Oh, I totally forgot!" (guessing this person knew and asked without thinking?!?) Some people blush and look like they want to run away, some gave me a hug, some say they will keep me in their prayers. And before you know ...

Lessons From the Road

1) My husband is an expert at eating sunflower seeds. Almost squirrel like he stored a hand full of seeds in his cheek, cracked, chewed and spit the shells into an empty Krystal box for hours at a time. After knowing this man for eight years I never knew he had this talent. He attempted to explain the seed eating process to me, but I'm just not that  coordinated. Along with lobster, shrimp and other nuts I just don't see the point of all of the effort it takes to get to a piece of meat or a nut so small. His lovely "spit box" 2) Hotel hair dryers are not normal. No matter where you are. Even at the nicest hotels they still manage to frizz and fry. Don't get me wrong I never leave home without my own personal hairdryer but for some reason I always want to try that cute little convenient one mounted to the wall. (Hotel Dryer) (My Dryer) 3) Never trust a seagull. These birds are mean and they will poop on you. Just lying on the...
