Happy 8th Birthday to our nephew Nik in Zagreb.
Happy Birthdy to Ivanka M and Christina B, our Sveti Ante babies…….
Happy 1 year anniversary to Hello-sunshine, this is a children’s store in high Park that Delko and Christina Blazanin opened one year ago. They originally and still do have an online store but this gives you an opportunity to see the product before you buy it. Check them out or visit their website at www.hello-sunshine.com. Recently my kuma was registered there for her baby shower and it made it easy for me to shop from home. Congrats Delko and Chris………
Up until yesterday I thought Mr Big from STC was soooooooo cool, yesterday I changed my mind, ‘NOBODY’ is cooler then Slaven Bilic and hence his new nickname. On his wrist you will find the holy bracelet that so many of us wear and in his pocket you will find his cross. Besides the fact that I can’t get enough of Croatian Soccer I just can’t get enough of “Mr Bigic” (Besty gets the credit for this name). I can’t write enough about this man…..
For those of you that don’t know, Anna Granic is now a certified personal trainer, a sad misli da je pametna. Last night we were at soccer at Norval and she comes over while we are minding our own business drinking our coffee and says to me and Besty, “a few of us are gong to start jogging during Soccer are you girls interested”? After my initial shock of the interruption of coffee time I told her “da se vrati kad ima nesto pametno pitati”. Sorry Kuma but please soccer time is for socializing…..
Who is more excited then me today, NOBODY!!!! I woke up this morning and niko said, “mom are you going to see Sex and the City tonite”. pametno djete!!! Well for those smart ladies that are joining us if you have time, we are meeting at Montana’s for drinks, Cosmos of course before the movie at 8:00 for the rest see you at the show!!! For those of you who are not coming, not my problem ’sto ste stupid’…..
SilverCity is located off the Burloak exit, go South then turn left on Wyecroft road…… did I mention I am sooooooooo excited.
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…….
To the “Grammar Nazi” Happy Brzday and have a great Romantic weekend with Stanko in New York
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.
As per usual yesterday I walk to the school to pick up the kids, I always get Ante first then we go get Niko. Ante ran ahead of me with his friend Evan to the park. Niko came out and asked me if he could go to the park for 5 minutes. Ten minutes later Niko comes back and I ask him where Ante is and he says he did not see him, keep in mind the park is 25 feet away. I start looking around the area thinking Ante is hiding but can’t find him. One of my neighbors starts helping me look for him and I send Niko to the end of the school to see if he is around the corner. No sight of Ante, I am not a panic bug so I have this idea that he is on his way home. I call Goran and tell him to head toward the school and he states that Ante just walked into the house. Ante said he didn’t see me so he decided to walk home from school by himself. He then asked me if I was going to beat him like a step child but I was too relieved to do anything.
