TTC after 35

I'm loving the men in kilts....lol

The Pittsburgh Irish festival is this weekend and I finally dragged MH to go this year. There is this boy band called Skerryvore and boy did they look hot in their kilts and their accent made them hotter yet!! I felt like a teenager jumping all around to their music...haahaa. Guess the few drinks I had helped that. I could of sat all day listening to the music. It was also the first time I heard Gaelic Storm perform..wow..awesome! I want to go to Ireland :)

If I ever have a boy or girl they are learning how to play the fiddle/violin...lol. I saw a little girl doing an irish dance with beautiful long curly hair and streamers in her hair and for some reason my eyes started to get misty then the tears flowed and flowed. It just reminded me how I would love my child to be in the tamburitzans (folk group) as I did growing up. Of course you ladies know all about those moments. MH was like...wth is wrong now? I said...just having a moment. Kids running everywhere and for now I'm going for it :)

  •  "going for it" of course means only that I've been wishy washy lately. I think most of you know what I mean since I've been having a hard time deciding on all of this. it just didn't look right after I typed it...idk..i can't ever explain stuff the right way :)

  • Sounds like a fun time!  I was watching a skit during the Olympics they did on some bag pipers and there was a bag piping band (dressed in kilts of course) called the Red Hot Chili Pipers, they played rock songs on the bag pipe, I thought that was the coolest thing, LOL. 

    And I hope you've gotten the wishy washiness out, you gotta go for it Becky!
