Freddy's Memorial Fab-U Friday

It is the OFFICIAL start of SUMMER!!!!Memorial Day weekend is such a fun way to kick off summer! I started my summer kick off last weekend by going to LI for a wedding and a little R&R.

So far this past week the weather has been amazing and I've made my way to the beach twice. I'm half way through "The girl who played with fire" and its a great book. I visited the north fork wineries, climbed the fire island lighthouse, saw the filming of Men in Black III,  and met up with some old friends. Hopefully this weekend continues with more of the same and lots of BBQ's!!!

What could be better?????!!!!!!!

Freddy's Fab-U Friday

Today is graduation day at the University of Maryland! I love driving to campus and seeing all the graduates walking around in their cap and gowns- such a special day for them and for their families. Congrats to all the new college grads (and welcome to the real world)!!!!!

This Fab-U Friday in Maryland will be followed up with many fab-u days in NY! I am getting ready for a nice long trip to the Big Apple! Since next Friday officially kicks off summer where better to be than Jones Beach???? 

Jones Beach Air Show- a great way to spend a beach day!!!

I'm hoping the weather will cooperate and I will get a few lazy hours on the beach with my current read for this week "The Girl Who Played With Fire." It's part of the series by Stieg Larsson... who is an amazing writer and i've been wanting to write a book review blog so keep an eye out for that especially if you're a bookworm like me!

Two of Us

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TwoOfUs for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I am a loyal fan of the advice column in the newspaper and love reading people's questions and see what type of  advice is given. This started back in the day with the Dear Abby type letters. I feel like advice giving is of the new rage, just ask Kris Kardashian  who has her own advice column in Life and Style Magazine!
 Lots of my friends are in different places, relationship-wise, in their lives.  It's such a weird time in life to be giving advice. Some of my girl friends are dating and "seeing" people casually but nothing serious, some are in serious relationships expecting THE ring soon, some of us are married, and a few even started families of their own. I would LOVE to field some of your questions and write my own advice column for you. So ask away!!!!
There's a site called Two Of Us that explores tips on keeping your relationship fresh  Their site is for singles, newlyweds, married, divorced, and even to parents. I watched a video on the site with Harper Hill (the actor) who says he has "conversation parties." The men and women who come over put questions into a hat (anonymous of course) and once the question is read everyone just shared their knowledge and advice. Pretty fun idea, except my "conversation party" would def. involve wine, beer and liquor- I believe that is the real truth serum!
Check out twoofus.org and see if you like the advice they're giving. If you like them you can also really like them on facebook. I did!
So send over your questions, it will give me good reason to drink the truth serum and give you the real answers your looking for!

Freddy’s Fab-U Friday the 13th

Superstitious much???? I believe Friday the 13^th is just another day filled with wonderful deals and coupons for you to cash in on! I bet some of you are friggatriskaidekaphobiacs, people afflicted with a morbid, irrational fear of Friday-the-13^th. Good news for you- there is only one this year. Bad news, it’s today!



????????



My Friday the 13^th will consist of a glass of wine after work and cleaning my house because we have a bulk trash pick-up tomorrow morning!! I guess that’s what you get when you pay out the you-know-what for HOA fees.

For me Friday the 13^th means that this week is finally over. I am proud to say I finished my first Ph.D class with a B+ which is good enough for me! It’s been nuts trying to work two jobs and take a class- I am SO ready for a break from it all!!! We have a wedding coming up on Long Island (YAY!) and get to travel out to the Hamptons for it! I love the Hamptons and cannot wait to kick off my summer at the beach with my girlfriends, my family, and of course, the hubs!!!

Sports are my Life

Below is a guest post about sports ....
The blog is from March- so a little outdated- and explains a love for WATCHING sports.
In our house, watching sports is a favorite past time.
I have to say, fall Sundays are always lazy football Sundays. If the game isn't any good we still leave it on and the sounds of the game could just lull me to sleep.
Spring is baseball season so we watch the Yankee games whenever they're on in the DC area (which is not often enough for me)
And the hubs LOVES the golf channel. I thought you had to be 55 or over to enjoy the golf channel but I guess not. I think its so funny when the hubs watches golf and gets his clubs to practice while the pros play on tv.
Luckily we have tons of sports channels or else I might only watch reality tv forever (and I really would be ok with that too bc i love reality tv almost as much as sports).






Sports are my life
Guest post of the week by Deangelo Spencer
The CLEAR INTERNET BUNDLE pricing in my area had gotten really good, so a few weeks ago I went ahead and purchased. I’ve really loved having so many awesome satellite channels at home, and I really like being able to keep up with sports all the time. I’m an avid golfer, so having the Golf Network is like a dream come true for me! I get all the best tournaments and human interest show on the players and I’m finding it much easier to keep u with what’s going on. In addition to the Golf Network is, of course, ESPN, which has pretty much everything I could ever want to know about competitive sports. With March Madness coming up soon I’m glad I’ve got coverage, and I really like watching SportsCenter each night before bed. I’m never at a loss anymore at the water cooler at work when all the guys are talking about the big game or a notable trade, and I’m more entertained in my spare time. Just glad I got the golf coverage before The Mastersstarts in a few weeks!
