New Job, New Apartment...what else can we find new?

SO as many of you already know...I have had a lot of changes going on in my life right now. I was fired from my job on Good Friday(obviously not Christians there). I started a new job on the 21st and already I am loving it. Small office nice group, good pay and benefits. I even get a day off for my birthday! The next big change involves another move. Not to Ireland this time but to Arlington. I have in my hands the keys to my FIRST apartment by myself. It is actually very cute an will work out nice. The circumstances leading up to this are irrelevant. I am kind of excited...kind of scared...a bit of everything. So, new job, new apartment and after this weekend some new friends as well.

I looked outside and there he was sprawled out oh the chair enjoying a bit of sun.

I think he spotted us looking at him.

I'm from Dundalk so I can Make fun of it!

Isn't it Beeeuuuutieeaafulllll :-)

I wish I was back home in Ireland...

Inviting isn't it? Once you get to the end of this little road you will find Paul's Mums house.

I have told so many about Pauls mums house and how it is the typical calendar worthy Irish Cottage on the hill. Here it is! That pretty little dog in front there is Shebah. This picture makes a great St. Patricks Day Desktop!

Where were you a year ago today?

How can I forget...I was in a pub in Galway enjoying pints and watching the Six Nations Rugby. I miss it...I miss it so much. We go back to Ireland next month for a few days. I can't wait! Sure it rains alot and its dreary but when the sun came out and you could see how beautiful everything was. It was worth it.

Who needs drugs? I am addicted to knitting!

Lady Eleanor stole just started I can't put the thing down! For more on my obsesive compulsive knitting visit my knitting blog.

MY MOTHER SAYS!!!

Shameless plug:

Some of already know about one of my side projects "My Mother Says" Needless to say I have been so busy I have not had the time to put into it that I would like. Here we go again!!! I have a goal now though. I currently have 26 quotes...I want 100 by Mothers Day 2008! Can you help me!?!

http://www.mymothersays.com

What is “My Mother Says…”?

You know all those sayings your mother said to you as you were growing up? That's what My Mother Says is all about. It all started with me saying something goofy my mother always said to me and it made my friends laugh hysterically. I soon learned it wasn’t only my mother that had a few words of wisdom…everyone has something funny their mothers always said that they may use as adults now. You have the classics like “Do you think money grows on trees?”, “The dishes aren’t going to wash themselves!”, and “Keep doing that and your eyes are going to get stuck like that!” My favorite of my mom’s is “Your big enough, old enough, and ugly enough, to do it yourself!” Meant only in the most loving way of course!

What is my goal?

I want to hear your mom’s sayings! Some may be funny, some sentimental, some meant to instill the fear of God in you as mothers do so well! Reach down in your memories and have a good laugh. You may not have to reach far, as I would love to get some kids point of views as to what mommy tells them all the time. Or you may be a mom and find yourself telling your kids the same thing! If you submit a saying we are asking your name, age and where you are from because I hope to be able to get these from all around the world. So once you leave a saying please let your friends know about us too.

My goal is to get enough sayings to put together a book of them. Once I have enough I would like to team up with the Susan G. Komen Foundation to have a portion of the proceeds go to Breast Cancer research. As Breast Cancer has affected many of our lives through mothers, grandmothers and friends, I think it is only fitting for the memories we stir to benefit a good cause.

Thanks for checking us out and I hope you leave a little piece of you with us before you leave. Make sure to check out our recent posts on our Recent Submissions section

Hello.......Is anyone watching this?

Did you know you can leave comments on the stuff I post?

I often wonder if anyone actually looks at what I have posted. Every once in a while I run into someone and they say "Hey I saw your pictures on your blog!" But otherwise I feel like I am doing this just because. So basically I am saying if you like what you see or feel so inclined to.....

LEAVE ME COMMENTS!!!

I like feeling the love :-)!

Mohamed Shahin dancing with me :-)

So I am still recovering from a show and workshop over the weekend. Last Wednesday and Thursday the troop I dance with Belly Dance for Life http://bellydanceforlife.com/ had the honor of learning a cane dance with the wonderful Mohamed Shanhin. We performed the dance at the Casablanca Restaurant that Friday to kick off the weekends workshops. What a tiring weekend but well worth it! We learned three new dances and got the chance to work with a very talented dancer and genuinely nice person! Thank you Mohamed for the workshops and thanks to Belly Dance for Life for hosting such a workshop!
