I don't give a SH*T about Lindsay Lohan!!!

Really?! Does Lindsay Lohan really deserve to have tv coverage 24-7 just for being a complete f-up??? I am so sick of hearing about her every night and how she's going to be in jail like a minute...C'MON who cares?! There are people doing great things around the world, wars to cover, even sports -- I don't care....Lindsay is just another movie star that has fallen to drugs and alcohol...I feel bad for her and really hope that she gets the help she needs...However what I don't need is to be updated daily on her life!

Rock on Lindsay...Rock On

DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY!

On a happier note---have any of you seen the Double Rainbow guy??? Where did HE come from!? He sounds like Chong..seriously all I can imagine is an old hippy so drugged out of it hahah "what does it meannnnn"

*M*

The little things in life that entertain...me!

I don't have much to write about today..my tired brain cannot think of anything clever so I thought I'd post some random videos....

This first video was posted on facebook yesterday by JJ and it is so funny! It is pretty comical to see all these primpy bitches beat the shit outta each other lol

=  Jane Austen's Fight Club

This next video is of The Dave Brubek Quartet from 1961.  I have seen Dave and his boys twice already at the Newport Jazz Festival and am thrilled to see him a third time in just a few short weeks when he'll return to Newport as a special guest of Wynton Marsalis in celebration of his (Dave's) 90th birthday! I found an old record in MA last week that is of Dave and his quartet live from Newport 7/3/1971...do you think I can maybe get him to sign it??? I'm sure gonna try! Enjoy :)

***The Dave Brubeck Quartet- Take Five 

Just a few days after the Newport Jazz Festival I'll be heading to Gilford NH to the Meadowbrook US Cellular Pavillion to see Sublime! I never EVER thought I'd have the opportunity to say that I would be seeing Sublime LIVE but they recently found a new lead singer (Rome) who is apparently fitting in just nicely :)  This is the video to one of my favorite Sublime songs (it's really too difficult to call one song my favorite...there are just too many!)

***Sublime-Bad Fish

That is all :)

Auntie *M*...round two

So being an aunt is definitely something that isn't new to me....however being an aunt to nieces (who are actually way younger than I am) is definitely somewhat new.  I was an aunt the second I was born since Foxy and Mike had Chris 2 years before me...then came along Jeremy and eventually Jason (my brother's son).  I now am blessed to now have 1 niece and 2 great nieces whom I love very very much!


The twins came along first (born May 19, 2009)....Jeremy & Angela definitely make some beautiful babies! I love these little girls so much that I can barely talk about it without tearing up.  I am very lucky to live so close to them and get the opportunity to babysit or visit often.

Eliza Mae is driving...Caelin Ione is riding shotgun

Mmmm Auntie M had fun giving us spaghetti for dinner!

A few short months after the twins were born, Isabelle Agnes Bryant came along! 


She surprised us by coming a few months early but after 3 months with the great nurses at MMC in the NICU and some amazingly devoted parents she was able to go home and begin her happy life! Izzy was born November 8, 2009 and "belongs" to Treston's sister Shannon & her husband Steve.  She is a beautiful little girl who had a rough start and is now doing just great!

Survivor: Pond Island, July 4th Weekend 2010

Tra la la! 

Well it was decided this year that the trip to Pond Island would be a small UMM Reunion including myself, Fickett, Sara (aka Mim), and Larae....and of course Ma & Pa Fickett! I went up a day early and met Fickett in Ellsworth to grocery shop and what not before heading 'down east.' The next morning Mim and Larae arrived and it was off to the island for the next two nights!

Let me start off by saying that this is a true camping experience--no lights, no running water! It is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I have ever been...It is basically unheard of to see a person on this island that is not relaxed and happy :) 

The entire weekend was full of lounging, tra la la'ing across the island to the lighthouse, playing games, and catching up on the happenings of everyone's lives.  We also reminisced a bit...stories of times at UMM....good lord I can't believe the way I acted back then hahah! But we sure had fun! 


Before Brenda and Craig left the 2nd day we were there we had a bit of a 'photo shoot.' We had a lot of laughs and here are the pics that we came up with:

Got a lil capt'n in ya?

I'm not sure what to title this one....Legos?

Holy crap Larae has lost it! ahhh!

Meggy Mac will make ya JUMP JUMP 

Abbey Road...or the robot?

Goofs :)

I think that it's pretty safe to say that a great weekend was had by all! I just hope this is something that we can do again next year--it is so hard with busy lives and work and all that stuff to find time to enjoy time with the life long friends you met years ago....we will make it happen again though I am sure :)
