Happy 19th Birthday Andrea, hope you have a great one.  Now you can sell your fake ID to the highest bidder……….

Ante asked me to blog about his new girlfriend.  Ante and Ivana P are officially going out.  He said she is hot and smokin…  There is a bit of an age difference but I am willing to wait for the perfect daughter-in-law, eat your heart out Annie…..

Happy Birthday to our dear sister and seka Teta Marica, you look fabulous for 44…….

24 hours till Dada is legal…….

Happy 8th Birthday to our nephew Nik in Zagreb.

Quick little shout out to Dada who started at PB today with “Fab at Forty”.  How great does she have it, Teta Sylv got her the job and is driving her to work everyday.  So on top of having no gas expenses, Donnie will be wining and dining her during some of her lunch hours.  Good Luck Dada!

With no excuses, even I am dissapointed in myself for ignoring my Blog.  Good news, I have upgraded, I am spending $7.99 USD per month for your entertainment enjoyment.  I have more memory space so all my pics will stay in memory, I really feel bad for the newbies who go back to read from the beginning and can’t see any pics.  If I have to go to a new level I may sell clanske carte!!!

Hope everyone had a great Easter, we had the Newman’s over and Victor even bought a new tie for the occasion.  I was a little dissapointed that only Teta Anda got flowers but hey who am I to complain.  Maybe someone should have brought me flowers as they were enjoying my Paprika Juha and two kinds of salata, my contribution to the meal.  I either cook or Anda cooks, there is no room to mix my ideas with her Janjetina !!!

Fab at Forty decided to treat everyone with a $80 bottle of Grgic Hills wine which Victor said wasn’t worth it and Anda added Coke to it to turn it into a $80 BAMBUS.  God Bless us peasants.  Niko was a little sick and my husband is a Communist so Ante and I were off to mass that must have had at least 20 kids under the age of 2.  They are sooooo cute at that age, I think I may have felt a little tingle in my “Maternica”, why do I have to carry the baby, can’t someone just donate a newborn to me.

dsc01199.JPGThis week is Family Birthday week at our house.  Yesterday Steve’s daughter Nadia turned 3, seven years ago my little angel Niko was born and it is our sister-in-law Danjela’s B-day today. 

So, I get up and do my usual routine this morning then I open my hotmail to find 36 messages in my inbox, my junk is a seperate folder.  I opened up the mail to find the Alilovic seke arguing with Vrlic and John Alilovic.  Girls a piece of advice don’t argue with Alilovic, he will always have the last word and you have balls arguing with Vrlic, he is your only family member with a house on the more.  I would be very nice to Vrlic or it will be long hot visits to Ljubuski.

I saw my Ante’s Kuma Ana last night, she is 4 months pregnant and I asked to see her baby bump.  I am surprised she didn’t fall over backwards trying to create a gut to look pregnanat.  Ane, it’s good to know that like Jagoda you will start showing around 7 months, these two take the cake on the best looking pregnant women I have ever seen.  Yes, I am jealous.  Wow Ane, you have won two of my awards, best wedding dress and now best pregnancy.  I know, I love you to.

Off to the Grocery Store to buy meza for Niko’s party tonite, will be back later today, I promise……

Good Friday started with a Seafood (yuk) lunch at Besty’s house, Besty, BFF (ella), Andrea and I proceeded to depart for Put Kriza at Norval and the left the boys at home with their fathers and too many bottles of wine.  The walk was great because it was pretty warm in the sun, plus it helped that every 50m somebody complimented me on my fabulous bangs, just an update, this week I got them trimmed.  The biggest complement came from Susie Alilovic, the best kudos always come from a hairstylist.  Congrats to Susie on the coming of baby #3.  It was quite funny that my Besty was at Norval doing the walk but we didn’t see the The Grammar Nazi who credits herself for being such a Center Nazi.

Next stop the Newman Ranch for Victor (Vidaks) annual Good Friday Fish Fest.  “Mapparently” he tried to cancel but Marica insisted that he hold tradition.  Dinner was great and God Bless Teta Nancy who made sure to complement me on my bangs every half hour on the hour.  I think everyone is curious about the blog because I kept mentioning it.  These family gatherings are always fun because we learn new things.

Marica couldn’t wait to drag me out for a cigarette to tell me how during her 12km put kriza pilgrimage in Oakville she was transported in a Limo from one church to another by no less than the manager of Oakview Funeral Home.  Well I am sure it took her less that 1 km tell him what a fan she is of his business, she complemented him on the new fasada on the outside of the home.  He told her that the third station of the cross just happened to be in front of Oakview and if she needed to tinkle to come on in.  Marica’s dream to be hit on by a Funeral Home Manager.

I have to go to work for a couple of hours, if only this blog paid but log on later because I am going to reveal a family secret concerning Drunk Danijela, even though she threatened me!!!

Happy Birthday to Teta Mirjana Knezovic

Happy Easter to Marina in Florida

Even with 28 feet of snow we are all gathering at Marica’s house for a get together for the King.   The “Grammar Nazi” tried to bail but Marica would not hear of it.  As I am sitting here listening to “Molo Hrnic” I am just listening and venting what I can write and cannot.  I guess I can write that Marica is red like a “Paprika” from Gin and Tonic, I guess she figures its better than eating and getting weight comments.  It’s nights like this that you realize how great family is, they are there for you in good times and bad.  I have noticed that everyone is on good behavior and watching what they say because they all have warned each other that nothing you say is sacred from Teta Auds blog.

Just a quick shout out to “Fab at Forty” who is most likely snowed in in NYC till Monday.   You poor thing, I can think of worst place to be like here where we have shovelled snow 4 times today.  Good luck getting in your driveway.

img_3987.JPG Besides her age the worst comment you can make to Marica is about her weight.  This morning, the second time in 10 days somebody told her that “ona je se popunila”.  People have some class, never discuss a women’s weight.  She called me very distraught and I swear she was sticking her fingers down her throat during our conversation.  Bulimia destroys your teeth!!! Try the coffee and cigarette diet it is much more enjoyable.

The sarma is cooking, the homemade bread is rising, the floors are washed and the house is spotless.  Steve arrives home tonite and Anda is sooooo excited that I think she forgot to do her morning prayers.  She has moved out of the master bedroom with the most comfortable bed into the spare room to ensure that Steve sleeps well while he is here.  Last night Niko told Ante not to dare touch “his” Uncle Steve because he has his own, Uncle Fred.  Since Fred calls Ante ’soft skin’, Steve should come up with a nickname for Niko.
