What have you guys been up to??!
I had a hard time getting back in because of password issues but I'm here
For a long while there I thought that I was actually banned because of the whole Howie situation, I must say I'm glad to not see him here but I did learn a lot of tough lessons from the whole scene.
On my end, my son did some missionary work in Morocco in October so that was really awesome and made me so proud of him (even though he is a Christian LOL).
Me and the boyfriend are going on our 12th Year together! He's almost done with his apprenticeship in a local union and got a heckin raise. I was recently awarded with a raise and a bonus too from my corporate job so that was awesome. I'm still working from home.
On a more exciting note I am going to Ireland in May!!! My best friend of 32 years and I, and her cousin have planned a trip to drive the Wild Atlantic Way or at least a portion of it cuz we only have eight days. But they're in Oklahoma and I'm flying out of Newark and we'll meet at the Dublin Airport!
I got to admit it is definitely one of our more wacky ideas! I've done a lot of studying and we already have the course plotted for the most part; lots of castles, an evening "hot tub boat tour" And we'll be staying at some really cool airbnbs.
So if anyone has any tips about Ireland I would love to hear them! The car is in my name because I will get there about 4 hours earlier than they arrive, so what I'm thinking is that will give me time to practice in the car - maybe in the airport parking lot? Or if I get brave maybe I'll drive around Dublin LOL I've studied and studied maps for 2 months I can't wait.
A picture of my Bearkitty and I last weekend before the Jersey City St. Patrick's Day parade. I got to walk in it!
