Maria McAlpine:  

Hello, My name is Maria, I have had fun catching up with several people, Tricia, Liz,Ursula, Jackie, Joanne, Just to name a few. Some that i've gotten to chat with and Tricia whom i've known since I was about 7 seeing her again at my surprise 40th! That was a gift that I will never forget, having not seen her since our last years at St. Ambrose, You haven't changed a bit missy!...lol My one and only favorite teacher, Mr. Levins and anyone who had him I am sure would agree. Least fav.? ahem..Sr. Francis, Yes! I did fall...thats why my mittens were wet, so I didn't deserve 2, yes! 2 whacks across my knuckles with a ruler, 2 because she missed the first time?? uh? no you didn't miss, but I will forgive you anyways because you are like older than rocks, And are dealing with God right about now.... Cheyyahhh But I must say., Being a student at St. Ambrose was one of my all time favorite memories and wouldnt change it for the world The craziest thing I had ever done in school was: Although Other people wouldn't concider it crazy, was that we were allowed to go home for lunch and I would not go back. I would go to the bowling alley and stay there until school got out. I was standing by a pinball machine and my friends had the look of fear in their eyes, low and behold, my favorite little nun Sr. Francis was right behing me, I casually dropped my cigarette and was escorted back to school. OY! I had lived in Dorchester until i was 15 1/2 and moved to Medford. I stayed there for a bit until I moved to hydepark when I was 25, I stayed there for 5 years until I moved to New Hampshire, I will die here...lol I had alreadt seen the person that I'd have liked to have seen most after so long..."HI TRISH" But Lydia Rivera would be another, for certain! As far as sports? I am a fairweather fan..RED SOX, PATRIOTS, STEELERS,<---"hubby's fav." And I am not particularly fond of Reality T.V. hasn't anyone noticed that they have all ended up in divorce? Hulk Hogan and Linda, Nick and Jessica, Carmen and Her hubby..what's his name?, Britney and K-fed, feel free to add to the list. Life doesn't always turn out the way one expects, but one of my biggest surprises to date was to be raising a child again after becoming my grandsons guardian and soon to be an adoptive parent. My oldest child will be 24 on his next birthday, and my daughter will be 19 on hers..OY! One thing that i've learned from being a parent is to enjoy them when they're small, the crying, complaining, whinning, diaper changing, nose wiping, butt wiping, lugging around etc... is "A SUNDAY PICNIC" compared to those teen years, 15 and up.."KNOW IT A...Expand for more
