What a mess

I have been wanting to paint my living room ever since I painted it a year ago. The problem I have is finding the right color. I have it right here in my head and it is so frustrating. This is what my wall of color looks like right now. Tomorrow it could have more stripes on it.

All Star

Everybody knows that the Baseball All Star game is happening on Tuesday. Well if you didn't, you do now. Since the game is happening in the STL there is a lot of activity's going on to celebrate. One of those is the FanFest and I went with my parents. That's us in front of the world's largest baseball.They had a lot memorabilia to buy and activities to do. My favorite thing was the brand new Camaro that I got to sit in. I took a picture of the car and sent it to Ben who was at work. He was totally jealous and I got cool points.

They also had baseball Hall of Famers signing autographs. My dad stood in line for an hour and a half to get Rally Fingers autograph.

And also this person, but I can't remember who it was.

I also got to meet all the Cards players.

Dream Vacation

It's finally going to happened. I am so excited. Ben has given the green light and we are going to Sicily in 2 years!! Why 2 years? Because it is stinken expensive and we need to save money. So that also means no major vacations until then. I need my Italian speaken Uncle to go, so my family better start saving also.
I have wanted to go ever since I started getting into my genealogy about 6 years ago. Not much is known about my moms genealogy. All we really know is that my great grandparents came over from Sicily. Great grandfather Angelo came over with his brother Rosario in the early 1900's and Angelo's wife Maria come over a couple years later. After Rosario's son died he left the US and went back to Sicily. I know Angelo and Maria parents name but that is about it. So I can't wait until we go to Sicily. I am going to look up every Pulvirenti living in Sicily to see if they are related to me. And Ben thinks this trip is going to be relaxing.

It finally happened

I broke down and went to the eye dr. I got glasses about 5 years ago and never really wore them, they gave me headaches. I have started getting double vision. Ben and I went to see the Tabernacle Choir sing in the ScottTrade center and the inside is shaped like an oval. The choir was at one end of the oval and we were at the other. It was kind of dark inside and I was looking at the stage. I could see that the guys on the stage were standing up but I could not tell that the girls were. They were all wearing the same color dress and it looked like one big mass. To me they had no heads. One of our friends aunts was singing and she was 4 rows up and 4 over. But I did not get to see here because I can't see!
