My Weekend Wrap Up ... Bu Bye May

We said goodbye to the month of May and Nana together this weekend. On Saturday, Nini, LJ and I headed to Sonora to attend Nana's funeral service at the "Terzich & Wilson Funeral Home". The service was beautiful and very emotional as the friends and families of Nana shared their heart warming stories of this amazing and incredible woman. I was extremely sad at the service. It was awful having to deal with the concept of *never* seeing her again. It was extremely difficult to watch Grandpa, Nana's best friend and husband, deal with such a painful loss. I imagine myself in his shoes and realized how TERRIBLE he must have felt. I don't know what I would do if I lost someone close to me. I couldn't imagine having to go on knowing that I would never see, hear, speak or hold that person again...man o man..death is horrible. It felt good to cry and I felt comforted knowing that Nana was in a better place, whereever that may be. I should have worn waterproof mascara though. Darnit!

Following the service, we all went and ate at Nana and Grandpa's favorite restaurant. It was nice and we all enjoyed one another's company and it was uplifting spending time with all of the family. After lunch, we were all emotionally exhausted but Neil's bro and sis in law had a brilliant idea. They brought their sweet huge Malibu boat and had reserved a campsite at a lake nearby for that evening. Most of the family, including aunts, uncles, cousins and close family friends all headed to Maloney's lake for a bonfire followed by a day at the lake on Sunday. Nini, LJ and I stayed and bonfired, drank and laughed and had a great time with family until about 1am. It was insane how fun it was wrapping up such a sad day with an evening of being under the moon and stars nearby a beautiful lake and with warm midnight temperatures. I couldn't have imagined spending the night any other way and I swear, I felt that Nana planned it all, well it was actually Josh n' Kelli but I think Nana inspired them with this great idea. lol...

One thing about having a child is this... You can stay up till the wee hours of the morning hanging out with friends n' family and having a jolly ole time but one thing is ALWAYS for certain, you can't sleep in the next day. THAT WAS THE TRUTH. I had to be up and active super early Sunday morning and I swear I felt like a freaking zombie that entire day. Which caused me to sleep like a baby lastnight. Boy was I TIRED!

After being out of town for several weekends in a row, I am looking forward to planting my rear in San Jose next weekend. I've got a busy week ahead and lots to look forward to. I hope you all have a beautiful Monday (although the weather in SF is gloomy, damp and foggy) and I'm going to leave you with a message:

"Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind. You are as old as your doubt, your fear, your despair. The way to keep young is to keep your faith young. Keep your self-confidence young. Keep your hope young."

THE HAWAII WARRIORS SUCK and I HATE THE TEAM, THE COACH and THE FANS!!

Image
Talk about lucky sons of bitches, if you didn't get a chance to see the Spartan's nearly dominate the Hawaii Rainbow pansies, then you missed one heck of a game. ( picture slideshow courtesy of the SJ Mercury News ) The game began at 5pm and the weather was crap... rain was pouring and the fans were a few... that was until the sun came out and the fans began arriving, reaching to 20,000+ packing the Spartan stadium. ESPN packed the house in the press-box, scouts were hovering around the media stations, trying to find a good seat and stadium workers ran around the stands wiping down seats so people's rears could remain dry. The Hawaii Rainbow Pansies were the talk of football and everyone was expecting SJSU to lose and to lose big. The spread for the game had Hawaii favored by 20+ points. Since this was the only Division 1 football game to be aired on Friday night, everyone on ESPN was ranting about hawaii and their lame ass QB Brennan. Football Analysts were sure that San...

thug night...pack up your eggs baby!

Image
I updated this story.. so if you read it. Reread it. I missed some very important points. ******************************************************************************** What seemed like a normal Tuesday night .. turned out to be quite interesting. First off, I got home lastnight from work before Neil. I was working from home when Neil got home and said let's take the dogs for a walk and grab coffe and go to the grocery store.. Good Ole Zanatto's. We got the dogs dressed and heade d out. After grabbing coffee and groceries, we start heading back home. The walk home is about 3 blocks but we pass many bars and many thugs on our route home. lastnights thug count was out of control. We were walking towards blockbuster/farenheight on San Fernando when we walk past a group of teenagers... about 10 of them. They seemed nice... One of the boys calls Rocco over. Keep in mind i have 2 dogs on leashes with one hand and I'm juggling 2 coffees in my other hand while Neil is lugging 2 ...

Football Widow 2010

Its Football Friday at the Parry House again. For those that don't know, my hubbie is the defensive coordinator for the Sobrato High School Football Team. They are so far 2-1 (Ugh that loss still hurts) and they are ready to play again tonight against Independence High school in San Jose. Here's their entire upcoming schedule The game should be good and if the boys come out to play, they should get the BIG W! Let's go BullDogs! A common terminology used by woman married to men that coach football is that during football season you are a football widow. It is NO JOKE. I thought that football was time consuming when Neil played back at SJSU but NOW, its CRAZY!! Coaching is a very time consuming job, especially if you are super into it like my husband is. Practice M-F afternoon/evening, games friday nights and football planning half the day on a SUNDAY!! With 2 boys at home with me, its super hard because Neil is so tied up with football!! I love love love football season ...
