JRR/ Reunion.

In talking with some family members about a reunion this year, it was suggested by my sis that maybe we might want to all get together the day before the Jack Rabbit Run, up in/near Cleveland and have a huge family reunion!! I need some input as to who would be up for that so that I could contact a hotel and then try and find some place for us to have our reunion. Before I start ANYTHING, I just need to know who all would be in favor of this. I think it sounds like a great idea, and since most of the family comes to the JRR, what an awesome reunion THAT would be!!! There is a little 'comment' thing at the end of this, or you could just email me what you think!!

Here's a link to the site:

A Frichtel Fairy Tale ;)

My brother Tommy has told this 'Fairy Tale' since the girls were itsy bitsy. Sheila (shown here with Tommy) and I love it so much. They are both a little rusty, I kind of caught them off guard when I asked them to tell it to the camera, but as you can tell 10+ years later, they hardly missed a beat. I wanted to be able to keep this forever. There are some things that I miss horribly about my relatives that are no longer with us, and so I want to try and 'capture' classic things of the people I love. You may not love this as we do, but it truly is a Frichtel Classic. Thank you Thomas and Sheshe for your performance! xo

November 1. ALREADY!!










Good Morning!!

I can hardly belive its November already. Sheesh. This weekend has been a busy one, and will be even today. Let me tell you, I love busy so much more than NOT. Friday I worked, then did some things with my sis afterwards. Came home, cleaned the house and made a nice dinner for my husband. I wanted to go to the game so badly, but he worked late, and honestly I don't have money for a $6 ticket. Sad huh? My financial life is a mess. Mine is, my husband seems to be ok, but when he gives me money, I feel, I feel.... I don't know. Ashamed that I don't have any of my own. Seems I get paid and the money is gone. Ugh. My husband's mother used to always say 'One day you'll be ok'... wrong! Its more like 'at one time I was ok, then the fit hit the shan'. ANYWHO.

Saturday started of EARLY. Picked up my dad and went to my sisters and then we headed off to the lawyers. There were 7 of us there. Very VERY emotionally draining. Feelings that I bury just came pouring out. I hate that about me. I want to be a stone. Cold and heartless about things that make me break down. (Yeah, I know some of you think I am, but you.., nevermind). We were there for a few hours, then we all went to my cousins and had coffee and muffins and discussed the events of the lawyers visit. I have to leave this subject. Even just typing about it, its too hard.

Took my dad home, then went and did some baby shower shopping, then came and got Spikey and went to the cabin we are having the shower at in just a few hours. Poked around and came back home. Did a few loads of laundy then headed downtown to visit my husband before I left for the night. Then went and picked up my folks and headed to the High School. We laughed all night long. Lately it seems like when we are together, they don't bicker, they quote their favorite show, they laugh all night. I love that. Its never been this way before. Then my sister and Billy came, but Billy wanted to sit somewhere else, so we saved the seats in front in hopes that my brother was coming. Not long after, Volchko came, then some of my friends were there and we laughed and talked, then Tommy and Angie and Ashley (not my Ashlie) came. We had a BALL!!! None of us hit the 50/50, or the Spartan Lottery, but we just had so much fun. Brice saw us and came over and gave me a hug, and well he knew everyone in our 'pack' except my folks, so I introduced him to them, and then Brenden was the star of the night, we went over afterwards and passed out hugs to him and Bri and by this time She was off doing her thing, so we all took off. I have to say, it was such a beautiful night. And I want to say thank you to Volch for staying with my parents while I got the car, and helping them get in. That was so nice of you. Thank you. Then I took them home and came home and started downloading the videos. My pooped out husband was sound asleep when I got home.

Today I have to clean the house, run to Sam's club, come and get the girls and mom from here (they are all meeting here around 10) and we will head down and have a PARTAYYYYY!! Oh I can't wait for Karlie. I wish Candyce would bring Zailin today. I wonder if I could convince her...

Anyways, I am sure you are bored to tears by now (and honestly, I have no clue why you even read my about my boring life, but Thank YOU!!) I need to shower and get a move on. I'll post pics this week of the shower. Have a good Sunday.
