Sweating Bullets...huh?
Ever wonder where that term came from? Can one actually sweat bullets, not. Does it mean that the sweat is shaped like a bullet...hmmm. I can't figure this one out and it has been bothering me all day. Sweating bullets...it even sounds weird on my tongue. Inqiring minds want to know or at least me...lol.

I have discovered that....
I hate Coney Island!!! Arghhhhhh! Why does that place even exist? They are over priced and it is so ghetto. It costs $4.00 for each ride...can you believe that? Why am I ranting about Coney Island you ask...well I was there last weekend with my son and my nephews.
Ok, let me not skip the details of my weekend. Friday night I stayed in with my son and we rented movies. My boyfriend came over with some dinner, then we watched music videos till 1am. Saturday I took Josh, my son, to see "Fantastic Four" and "Rebound". They were both great movies. "Rebound" was funny as hell. Martin Lawrence has outdone himself with this film. We went home and I made dinner for my son. His favorite....or better said, his new favorite. He now loves my Angel Hair pasta with breaded chicken breast. it was yummy!!!
I got up yesterday at about 7am, made some breakfast for my son and wished him a Happy Birthday. He is now 15! Wepa! We headed to the beach where I met up with my ex sis-in-law and the kids. My boyfriend met up with us later that day with his brother and their kids...it was a bunch of us but wow, we had fun. Well, by 7pm, my nephews wanted to go to Conely Island so my boyfriend and my sis-in-law convinced me to take Josh for a bit. Well....off we go.
We decided to walk there since it was only two train stops away. So we walked on the board walk. It was packed...my goodness. The weather was great! Cool breeze and the smell of the ocean did me in. Now, we get on line to buy tickets...this is where I was like "Oh no!" They wanted $4.00 per ride including the kiddie rides. I was so irritated by then that I just sat around and waited while my sis took her kids on the rides. My son and I just hung out looking at all the wackos that wander that amusement park. By the time we left there it was almost 11:00pm My son and I ended up getting home at about 1am. We were exhausted.
Now, this weekend we went to Six Flags, that was fun! On Friday we drove my boyfriend to the airport, he was headed to PR for a week, he is due back this Friday. While we were headed there, the car started to make this screeching noise. My boyfriend and I were not sure what it was so when we got to the airport and lifted the hood, it was the Alternater. Ofcourse, it just so happens to be my luck that right when my man decides to go to PR, the car gets messed up. He insisted that it was no big deal and that I would be fine for my trip to Six Flags. I was not so optimistic. I decided to have my dad check it out that night. After driving what seemed like forever in immense traffic on the Van Wyck, I made it to my dad's in one piece. He opened the hood, confirmed that it was the alternater and also said that it was no big deal but that I should have his mechanic friend check it out in the morning. I agreed.
Saturday morning I get up at 6am. Wake my son and God-daughter, feed them breakfast then head out to my dad's at 7:30am. I got to my dad's house about 8am, had the kids go upstairs to stay with my mom and left with my dad to meet his mechanic friend. Well, well. We waited until 9:30 before his friend came downstairs and confirmed yet again that it was the alternater but that it was in no cindition for me to make the 1 hour drive to Six Flags. I had to change the alternater right away, if not leave it parked. So ofcourse, I get it fixed. It cost me 3 hours and $70 bucks. The car was ready to go by 12:30pm. I headed to NJ to meet my girlfriend who was driving in her car with her kids to Six Flags also. Somehow she takes for ever....which is no surprise so we end up getting to Six Flags by 3:00pm. Half the day gone.arghhh! I was so annoyed. Alas, we get on all the good rides, stuff our faces with ice cream and funnel cakes and before we know it, its 11pm and time to head back home. I won't get into the details of why I got home at 3am but lets just say traffic was a bitch and looking for parking was a drag as well. All in all we had a great time!!!!!!
Sunday, my cousin took my son to Dorney Park while I stayed and got a Mani and a pedi. Alone time is always appreciated!!!!!
