Hey my lil cuties . OMG last week was sooo kewl. My brother and nephew were in town from Thurs - Sunday. Fun was had. My folks, brother , nephew, cousins wife , her son ,my other half , and of course lil ol me went to the zoo on Fri. Then on Sat we had a family BBQ at my parents house with my cousin his wife, their son , and my nephew. My brother went to go see U2 with some old friends of his. I had fun playing with my cousins son. He is sooo cute and into Thomas the Train. He was running around my parents livingroom being a really fast train and giggling. 2 yr old r too cute. I have something about him or someone being nakkid on cam. Will have to watch it again to see what was exactly said. All I know was the word naked was mentioned. My cousins wife it wanting to get him into modeling. I'm known as aunt kate or katie to him . it was aunt cake a couple of mons ago since they were trying to make him say my name while i was holding a piece of his b-day cake in my hand . so he was more into the cake then my name. LOL. but i'm aunt katie finally and lovin it. for those who don't know on my side i'm an aunt to two nephews and a niece. on my other halfs side I have 4 nieces , a great nephew and a great niece. This was going through my head last friday while i was laying in bed trying to sleep.
On my moms side of the family my moms parents ended up with 2 grandsons , 3 granddaughters . I'm the oldest granddaughter , and 3 great grandsons. Now for my dads side. My dads parents ended up with 3 grandsons, 6 granddaughters. I'm the youngest grandchild on that side. 3 great grandsons and 4 great granddaughters. That's the count just for now. More will be added on since some of us are still waiting to have kids and then the others are done having them . HEHEHE . I've been asked to make a family tree for my moms side of the family since I have a good memory of who belongs to who and who was married to who blah blah blah.
enough about that and on to last sunday. on sunday my parents , brother , nephew and I went over to my aunts house to visit her and my cousin . my mom and brother chatted with my aunt, while my cousin, nephew, dad and I got into a heated game of black jack. some of my fam love to gamble and hit the casino's . It was a short visit from my brother and nephew but it was a nice one.
on monday my dad took my other half and I to the JCC that he and my mom belong too. That's the Jewish communit center for those who don't know. they have a really nice fitness center , indoor track, pool, kiddie pool, sauna, steam room , whirlpool and a bunch of classes that u take. we got memberships so we could go work out. we met with a trainer on tuesday. I did 7 laps around the track . 14 ='s a mile. then i did about a 30-40 min work. then on wed we came in the morn. I did 12 laps and a 45 mins workout, then back wed evening for a 40 mins work out and 4 more laps around the track, then back on thurs only did 2 laps , and back today for about 45 - 50 mins. didn't do any laps since we were pressed for time . made up for them on the treadmill. I'm also watching what I eat / beach season is coming up and I want to look good. germ13 has been a huge help . he texted me around 6 52 am on thurs to get me up and moving. thought it was a good time for me to be up. he's lucky that he is the second love of my life besides my other half , cause is he wasn't I wuold have bitched him out for waking me up that early . I only wake up for certain people.
I'm loving this new side of me . I can already feel a change in my thighs.
Besides my brother and nephew visiting and me going to the gym , I did some cleaning of our room . My side is looking pretty good. Liking what I did to the top of my dresser and night stand which i'm thinking of sanding down and painting.

since I'm showing off new and old looks I'm going to add in some pics of me . I was 19 in the one with palm trees . some of u might recognize that as being Venice beach . that's me at 19 with our exchange student from Germany . the next are of me when I was 20 . I took the pic this way so my mom could see how she wanted it would look in her photo ablum . also I'm w/o a scanner at the moment


facts about moi ~~~~I love the beach and body boarding.
I spent my 20th b-day dancing the night away at my friends club. It was kewl since it was just me and my friends . The club had a fire in it and was going to be closed down , but I was lucky enough to have it opened for my b-day.
I have been cutting , dying and perming my own hair even though it's naturally curly since I was 10 .
I taught my friend Sam how to french kiss when I was 10 and he was 8 while he was visiting us at the beach . My mom and I use to come to Philly and Long Beach Island NJ for the summer. We usually spent a month visiting friends and family. Spent about a week or two in Philly and the rest at the beach. Sam and I are still friends and hang out now and then. But these days he usually comes over with his gf for dinner and to smoke out with us.
