Why I Smiled...

1. Finally saw my brother! I haven't seen in about a year and half.
2. Met my nephew. He is absolutely adorable.
3. Had a lot of family time.
4. Played random charades with P. - First time ever. It was hilarious!
5. Had a few days off from work.
6. Ate food from one of my favorite places.
7. My niece received some news from her father.
8. Sharing smiles and laughter with my family.
9. Although our life plans differ a little - P let me know he would never leave me behind.
10. ...And he said "I would like to spend every moment with you, but sometimes I know that you need time for yourself."

You would have thought I had won…

Mr. P looks at me jumping up and down on the couch, while “hysterically” clapping my hands and pumping my fists. He just grins at me.

He continues to look on and now I’m clapping and crying just a bit.

Mr. P asks me “are you crying?” I turned to hide my face, I answer “a little.”

Adele is my home girl. I absolutely love her. And I am so happy for her and that her music is recognized and awarded on this level.

Not 1 or 2 or 3, but 6 GRAMMYS!!!

Her music and her voice speaks volumes to me. In her songs, she captivates that raw emotion in love. I know, I know it sounds cheesy and maybe a little a tacky but its true for me. And yes I cried along with Adele as she accepted her Grammy for Album of the Year and laughed as she acknowledged that she had snot to wipe away.

I am so happy for her and wish her continued success and happiness.
