Happy Birthday to my Besty and Seka Lydia……. Hope you have a fantastic day!!!!!!!
We had the greatest day yesterday, it was the longest Soccer Game ever. The guests started arriving at 10:30 am and the last ones left at 9:00 pm. Seven kids and 2 adults fit very comfortably in the new pool. No comments please about the way Croatia played, the important thing is that we got ‘3′ points. There was funny stuff going on all day but three comments stand out in my head and the only response was to “BLAME IT ON THE COOLERS”
We were watching the game and ‘Fab at Forty’ gets up and says when did Niko Kovac get a yellow card. As she walked away we realized that she saw the captains band on his arm and waited till she sat back down to roast her.
A couple of hours later and a few more coolers, Susie is walking outside and comments to ‘Fab at Forty’ that she didn’t know that sunflowers could grow in the ground, Fab says ‘of course they can’ and Susie says I thought they could only grow in pots. Fab at Forty looks at her and says ‘what else is in pots but soil’. Susie asks her not to tell us but ‘Fab’ gave her up.
A couple of coolers later on separate occasions ‘Besty” and ‘Ive’ both ask me how whether “paprike” grow out wide and how high and do you have to tie them up with sticks like tomatoes. Niko ‘D’ says “jadna ta bastja” I want to see it when they are done since they don’t even know how peppers grow.
Thanks to all, had a great day and see you Thursday for another marathon…….
Yesterday I got a message from Donnie and could barely understand it because it sounded like she was hyper-ventilating. I called her back and it wasn’t much better. Fab at Forty had just told her that Fred suggested they drive to Normandy for the weekend and spend the night in a castle. You would think that I was talking to a six year old and her biggest dream in life was coming true.
I wish I new at Halloween, I would have bought er a life size princess costume, she will have to settle for a Dollar Store Tiara and wand. If anyone out there has a princess dress or plastic glass slippers please ‘javi se”, The agreement is they have to call Fred King and he will call them princess.
For the past two Thursday nights Dada and Ivana have been coming over to watch Grey’s and Lost. Last night I came home from work, yes work and the two of them were watching the kids. I started up the stairs to put the boys to bed and Ivana yells out “Teta Aud you have a big ass, that’s where Andrea gets it from”. Can someone with “pamet” javit se and tell little Miss Ivana that you never and I mean “NEVER” tell a girl she has a big ass….. I think Ivana has spent far too much time in Siroki Brijeg and thinks that is okay. Then Dada and her admt that they sampled my , yes, my PB & Ch Ice Cream.
If you don’t know who Ivana is you may recognize her dressed rather provocatively in the attached photo!!!
P.S……. Ivana, I always thought that was the only part of me that wasn’t big!! I guess I won’t be wearing those pants anymore.
P.S.S. I think Diana B. is my new favorite niece…….
Every few months, but no often enough the original four go out for dinner. Last night Wendy, Chris, Besty and I met for dinner in High Park. I often forget that Christina is one of my funniest friends, the stuff that comes out of her mouth can make me pee myself. Last night she was telling us that she went shopping in Trix (not sure of the spelling), she told the sales girl that she realizes that the store is for fourteen year olds but she needs a pair of jeans. Here comes the line of the evening…..
Much to her horror Chris looked down at the sales girl’s jeans and realized that her jeans were sooooo tight that she was “ONE STEP AWAY FROM A YEAST INFECTION”. Good thing that my mouth wasn’t full because I would have spit all my food all over her blouse.
Great evening girls, next time we have to do it sooner.
You all read about the Ice Cream Incident last week, on the weekend we had a barbecue where everyone came with something. I have to say THANK YOU to “Grammar Nazi & Fab at Forty” they were nice enough to each bring me a liter of my favorite Ice Cream.
This meant sooooo mch to me because you can’t buy it everywhere, they had to go out of their way to drive to Baskin Robbins. I love you guys. The only problem I ran into was serving dessert when Teta Marica offered everyone at the table some of ‘MY’ ice cream. Yes, I admit I only gave them a soup spoon full to try with a bit of Peanut Butter because even though my husband doesn’t think so it makes the Ice Cream.
Yesterday I arrived at the shower and excited to see my Kumce and the first thing she said to me was that she didn’t like me. Later she told me I was a ‘Piggy’ and tried to push me on the floor. Maybe I should carry a pack of gum in my purse like Marica because she seems to like her. After going out for a smoke I can in and she was hitting 4 boys that were smaller then her and then managed to trip over her own feet and start crying so she softened up a bit and let me carry her back in.
After spending most of the day giving me dirty looks and rolling her eyes at me I finally won her over when I promised to buy her a Webkinz. Maybe someday she may decide she likes me but until then I have Baby Marija…..
Over the years my friends have gotten pregnant and given birth the many children. I was always excited and happy for them. Out of all of our friends I have never been sooooo happy as when I found out Vele and Jagoda were expecting. After 14 years of marriage, Jagoda gave birth to the most beautiful baby girl yesterday. I have to give her credit she had to do it without an epidural, not because she is stupid and wanted to be a hero but because there was not enough time. When they told her there was no time for an epidural she told them she wasn’t going to do it, like she had a choice. Our new generation kills me, half the women I know say I am not going to take the epidural, like somehow I am going to think they are some amazing women. No I think you are ’stupid’ I don’t go to the dentist and say why don’t you go ahead and drill I don’t need my mouth frozen. What kills me is that they try and be hero’s then half way through when they can’t squeal anymore they ask for the almighty needle. If I were the doctor I would say, “NO” you wanted to be a hero so be one….
The amazing part of Jagoda giving birth is that we had no idea what she was having, most people I know find out what they are having and there is no surprise. When I get the phone call that the baby was born there is no surprise because I have known for months what they are having. I could have 10 kids and I wouldn’t want to know, the is the “ONLY” guaranteed surprise in life.
I am sooooo excited about the birth of Vele and Jagoda’s baby and I can already tell that she is going to be a great mom. As for my Kum Vele I don’t think the sun can be as strong as the grin on his face yesterday when I saw him.
Have I told you guys how excited I am for them!!!!! The only feeling that could be almost exciting as this one would be for Croatia to win Euro Cup!!
Thanks God, as Anda and Ante say…. to Newfoundland. Thanks to my satellite dish I just finished watching Oprah three hours earlier then Toronto time. It was amazing, they showed some clips from the movie and I can’t wait….. Big was on the show and the four amigos, for those of you who think there are other things more important then this Oprah episode, not to worry I PVR’d it, love that PVR. For anyone who needs a walk in the past before the movie, not to worry I have the whole series that you can borrow….
Mark it down Thursday June 5th we are going to the movie. Opening night will be to hectic, there is a theatre in Burlington that holds 100 and I am going to reserve seats if possible. First we meet for COSMOS then we watch the movie, Marica can come along as long as she agrees not to sit beside me.
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……
