Day 6

Favorite Super Hero and Why

Horrible question for me, I don't even know any super hero's.  I mean, I know Wonder Woman and the main guys - but I've never watched movies about them and couldn't tell you a single thing.  So, I guess I'll say right now my favorite super hero is Green Lantern and this is only because Ryan Reynolds will be playing this in a movie soon and I cannot wait to see it.

Day 5

A picture of somewhere you've been too. 

I'm going to do a picture of Jamaica, because this was the best vacation I ever had.  We went to Montego Bay.  The picture is the moment after we got engaged, along the Caribbean.  Happiest day of my life, so far!  This is also the placed I turned 30 years old and zip lined for the first time.

Day 4

A habit you wish you didn't have.

I have a couple:
  • Smoking when I drink, or my nerves are shot
  • Anxiety over everything, everyone and every little detail
  • Walking in the door with a bad attitude after work

Day 3

A Picture Of You And Your Friends

I don't have an pics of me and my besties all together, because they really don't run in the same circles.... So here's a few!

Me and my gf Rose, having a Mexican Fest at our house one evening.  Rose has the biggest heart of anyone I know.  She is super creative and would do anything for her friends.  We've had a lot of girls nights over wine, learning more and more about each other.    I absolutely adore her.

Me and my bestie Kerri, who is also a co worker, at the American Idol concert last year.  I honestly could not get through my work days without this girl.  She listens to my frustrations, makes me laugh to the point of stomach pain and is just as goofy as I am. 

Two bestie's in who have been two totally different parts of me.  Denise, on my right has been a friend since 2nd grade, we grew up next door to each other.  Amanda, on my left, I just met in the last 3 years and we clicked instantly.  I adore both of their kids so much and know I can go to these girls for anything.  (Pelase excuse our eyes as we were well into the beers at a Kenny Chesney concert in this pic!)

And last, but not least, our co mance!  Our two favorite couples to hang out with.  We do as much as we can with this group.  They are a riot!  This pic was taken on a trip to their home in Northern Michigan, out on the off road vehicle's - we had to stop for a beer!  So much love and admiration in this group.

I can definitely say that I truly believe god brough each and everyone of these folks into my life for a reason.  My life feels more complete having them in it.

Day 2

I apologize for falling behind, I can never seem to get on the computer on the weekends.  I will catch up today!

Day 2 - the meaning behind my blogger name.

Sluttin for Beers was always what myself and my friends called what we did.  We'd flirt and kiss to get free drinks at the bars.  Even at 31, it still works for me.  In fact, I do less flirting and much much less kissing (= zero) and still get the drinks (I owe that to my mature confidence I think)  Our main point of attraction for doing this was a little party island not far from our house, called Put-In-Bay.  It's known as the Key West of the North.  Back at the day, this is were we went to get wild.  I still go quite often, but now I go for the music and to people watch.  It is fun watching the young girls do their version of Sluttin for Beers!  :)

So, here's a recent picture of me!

This was taken a couple months ago at a very good friends wedding.  Here, I am clearly busting a move and doing very awesome at it.  Rock on Sista!

The sun is shining

Things are looking up for me!  I'm feeling a lot better, smiling and laughing a lot more and feel like I can conquer the world (in small doses).

Today I had an appoinment with my orthopedic doc and they gave me full permission to stop wearing my boot.  Huge step!  Long way to go yet, I know, but this instantly cheered me up.  I'm happy to have shoes back on again - even though they are not heels and may be kinda tight.

My bridal shower is tomorrow and I'm super geeked for it.  I never thought I'd have one.  I never thought I'd have a day about me.  I'm making the most of it, since it will be my only shower ever.  Hair shampoo and style, massage, nap time and then the shower with lotso wine.  I cannot wait to see everyone, my favorite people that I haven't seen in a very long time.  I can't wait to spend it with good friends.  I couldn't ask for more.

No major catastrophes lately.  I'm always waiting for the next one to drop.  My right now, things have been good and I'm happy.

I do want to say a prayer for another blogger friend going through some serious stuff right now.  Barbara over at http://parentofheroinaddict.blogspot.com.  She's a good person and so is her son.  My thoughts of love and encouragement are with her.
