A fun birthday Saturday

December 5, 2010 – 3:28 pm

The best woman in the world had a birthday yesterday and we had a great day celebrating it. Thats right, it was my mother’s birthday and she turned fifty ten. Do you get it? If not you will at the end of the post. Anyways, my mom and I went to Ocean Grove for the day. It is a lovely seaside resort with magnificent Victorian architecture. Every house is different and unique in its own way. The shops are cute and the people  are very friendly. My mom would love to move there. I better start saving up. Hehe.

 

We walked to the beach even though it was freezing out. Luckily, I was smart and dressed warmly instead of dressing stupidly. It seems like my mom and I go to the beach at least once every winter for some reason. It is nice there but sure cold. While we were standing on the beach we saw these two people feeding tons of seagulls and pigeons. They are lucky the birds didnt gang up on them and take the paper bags from their hands.

 

A few times all the birds took flight and flew over our heads. Then they would all regather near the people with the food. It was awesome but definitely not a situation to be in if you are scared of birds. The whole experience reminded me of the movie, The Birds.

 

After we had a great day at Ocean Grove we came home. But the celebration wasnt over yet. I wanted to get her a cake to make the day perfect. So, first I went to A&P and got a wonderful rich chocolate mousse cake but it wasnt complete yet. I looked around the store for the numbers I needed but I couldnt find them. So, then I drove to Stop & Shop and found the numbers. If you put 6 and 0 together, what do you get? Fifty ten. Happy birthday mom! Remember age is just a number. It isnt who you are.

59 Is Just A Number

December 4, 2009 – 11:25 pm

Happy Birthday Mom! Today was my moms 59th year old birthday. Hope she enjoyed it because I enjoyed spending her birthday with her. I made my mom a birthday card. Yes, I made the card. I always make the cards for her and my grandma. Its one of a kind card which makes it extra special. My mom, grandma and I went to an Italian restaurant for dinner and oh my it was delicious. I had gnocchi which was amazing and the best I ever had. I really had a wonderful time spending time with my family. Lets all wish my mom a happy 59th birthday.

Dont worry mom, 59 is just a number. I dont see you as it. I dont see you as any number. I see you as my one and only mom who I love and adore. No number will ever define you to me. It all depends on who you are inside and not whats on the outside. People always look at someone a certain way depending on their age but they forget the important part which is the soul and the beauty of the person inside. Mom you are still a very determined and fun person. Just remember do not let the number be who you are. xoxo

Fifteen Years in America

November 12, 2009 – 2:06 am

November 11th. Its the day my mom gave me a second chance in life. The day I found the one person who loves me more than all the people in the universe. If it was not for her I probably would still be in Russia. There with no family to be with or give me love that I would need to survive the harsh world. If my mom did not adopt me fifteen years ago on the 11th I probably would not be the person I am today.

The early years. Life was hard. I do not remember anything from the three years in Russia. I guess its better that way. My mind probably blocked it out to not deal with the trauma. All I know is my birth mother could not take care of me and it was rough living with her. Little food, cold weather and neglect was not an easy experience for me. Then I ended up in an orphanage. Life in there probably was not much easier. It was better than being totally neglected with no one there for me. At least, I probably got some food and warmth. I am glad I am out of there now and part of a family that loves me.

The connection with my mom was instant when we met. It was fate. She was the mother I needed and longed for. My hero. Let me share something with you. So, all I knew what to say was momma poppa and baby when I first came to America. The orphanage probably taught us that because that is a complete family. That is considered a dream family. Not to me though. My mom is the best mom and father combined. I might not have a father but my mom to me is better and loves me more than any two parents could. She is the best single mom in the world.

I was given a second chance in life. The chance I would have not had if my mom did not adopt me. I was three and its hard for older children to get adopted. It just gets harder and harder as you get older too. I am thankful everyday for my mom. The one person who spent fifteen years giving her time, love and life to me. Thanks mom for everything. I am blessed because of you. If it was not for you I would not be where I am today. I would have probably never known what love and family was if you did not open up your life to me. I love you so much. xoxo.

Gotta Have Love

Love is so important to our survival. You can deny it as much as possible that you dont need love to make you happy and to help you survive but you are lying to yourself. I use to always deny that you needed love until I accepted it into my life. I am not just talking about love from people. Animals give lots of love also. My dogs cover me in love. All they express is love love love.

For example, when I come home from a day that was not so great, my dogs are waiting to express their love to me. If that means snuggling with them, giving them treats or walking them. It is all love. Just the connection I have with them is all the love I need in the world.

Never forget that their is always someone out there who loves you. Even if you do not realize it. It could be a person or animal. Also, make sure to keep your heart open to accept love and give love. Giving love is just as important as recieving it. Showing people you love them will help them love you back. Do not just take it. Give it. Give it with your heart.

Anyways, hope you all had a love filled day. Mine was a boring but an alright day. Like the photos? Its my Mom, Princess and Oliver. They love to snuggle with each other. Time to relax and get some sleep. Atleast the week is almost over. I am going to listen to some music and slowly pass out. Stay happy and filled with love. Peace.

A Great Sunday

October 4, 2009 – 10:35 pm

442020082_1538150753_0What can I say. The title explains it. Ah, it has been beautiful weather here today. Just gorgeous. Clear skies and in the seventies. So, around two I went on a really long bicycle ride. Just me, my bicycle and my music through the park. It was lovely. Only thing that is annoying on the weekends is it can get crowded but it was not too bad today. Moving on. When I got home I rested a little bit and then I did my chores. I suprised my mom with doing the dishes and washing the floors. Im such a sweet daughter. Hehe. Then I took my dogs  for a lovely walked. They enjoyed it and so did I. So, that was mainly my day. It was enjoyable.

Its my mom and Princess. I took this photo with my camera phone tonight because just was a perfect shot. I couldn’t resist. Both of them together is a perfect picture. Anways, I have to wake up early for school tomorrow. Ugh. Darn. Someone turn time back just a little. Well, at least my classes are not bad classes. I am going relax for a little and then hit the sack because I need sleep. Hope you all had a nice weekend and an alright Monday. Peace.
