Sometimes you just need a long weekend.
Wednesday night, after a long, busy day of work, I went out to dinner at Mexican Radio where I strayed from my ever present tacos and got the enchiladas. They aren't as good as mine, but they were ok ;). After that, my friend's husband and I went to Melino's.. I lasted 15 minutes. I felt like I was 80 years old. Let's just say I won't be making THAT mistake again. I met everyone else at Stray (Jason's Upstairs Bar) and even then I only lasted till about 11. I was tired, not drinking (still) and just not in the mood to be out. I went home and enjoyed the season premiere of the Real Housewives of Orange County instead.. Speaking of which, I kind of like Gretchen, the new housewife. She seems like a decent egg, although it's only the first week so that could change!
Thanksgiving was good. The food was REALLY great. My mom made these awesome mashed potatoes and of course, there was plenty of turkey. At one point my mom looked at the table and said "you guys better get married and have babies, cause this is pathetic." Yeah, it was just the four of us. It WAS kind of pathetic! Still, that meant more food for me! Anyway, the rest of the family showed up and we spent the rest of the night laughing our ass off watching everyone play the Wii Fit. J has finally realized he's never getting it back.
Friday morning Tre woke me up and said we were going to the mall. After last year's outlet debacle, I did NOT want to go shopping on Black Friday, but we were going later than most people and I really didn't want to let go of those kind of deals! So, I got out of bed and much to my mother's surprise, headed to the mall with her and Tre. We walked into Macy's and it was hot, bright and loud! Within five seconds I was run over by a stroller and finally ended up at the Lancome counter almost unscathed. Mom and I had a slight ulterior motive to get Tre to use makeup that she didn't buy at CVS, so she sat down to get her makeup done and I started seeing ripples (auras) in my line of vision. I thought maybe I had just looked into the lights and couldn't see quite right yet, but it lasted way too long. It was so bad that I couldn't even read stuff, so I tried to get Excedrin Migraine into my system, but it was to no avail. I lasted another hour or so, but then I headed out to the car for some air and the chance to close my eyes. I ended up coming home and going to sleep for a few hours and even missed bowling that night, which is a rarity for me. I basically crashed out the rest of the night and laid low all weekend.
Saturday afternoon I met up with some of my cousins for lunch at Baba Louie on Warren Street. I had never been there and it's basically an "upscale" pizza place where you can get just about anything you want on your pizza. I got pepperoni. I'm not adventurous, sue me. Anyway, it was really really good! I had heard so much about it and I just expected it to have been.. overrated, but it wasn't. Plus, it was nice to hang out for a while, especially since my cousin Mandy isn't coming home for Christmas this year. It'll be the first year EVER that we're not all together on Christmas.
Anyway, that's really all that's going on with me. Like I said, I kind of laid low this weekend. We planned on going to see Twilight, but there was no late afternoon matinee. What the hell!? So, I hope everyone had great holidays and the food coma only lasted as long as you wanted it to! Back to the grind!

My sister, my friend Tara and I are going to see the Wu-Tang Clan on December 28th at Northern Lights in Clifton Park. My fave is Method Man who, of course, won’t be there. I’m considering it a cultural experience and it looks like I need to bone up on my Wu-Tang song knowledge before we go. A month should be enough time, don’t you think?
The finals of Dancing With the Stars was last night, and I’m still rooting for Lance and Lacey, even though if the judges had their way, they’d crown Brooke and Derek right now. There’s still the audience vote and to be honest, I’m surprised people know who Brooke Burke is! But hey, let’s hope the gays get out the vote for Lancey!! I wasn’t real enthused by any of the freestyles, so I’m still hoping Derek is still shut out of the victory (Sorry Brooke – guilty by association).
Congrats have to go out to my friend Toine and his wife Kelly, who are the proud parents of a daughter, Taylor Gracie. She was born on Sunday and Mom and daughter are doing well!
In my migraine induced haze yesterday, I spilled soda on my pink wool coat…. and thought it’d be a good idea to put stain stick on it, and then put it in the washer. It’s hanging up to dry as we speak but I guess there’s a reason it goes to the DRY cleaners. Then again, it gets wet in the snow and rain so how bad can it be? Only time will tell..
I don’t normally watch CSI:NY (or any CSI’s for that matter) but Chris Daughtry made his acting debut during last week’s episode and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Granted, I adore him so I would have never ripped him apart, but I would have been honest had he been atrociously bad. Luckily, he didn’t put me in that awkward position.
I’ve missed Quizno’s ever since the one in Valatie suddenly closed, barring me from my sammies. I FOUND one this afternoon, which was a pleasant surprise! I REALLY wanted the chicken carbonara sub, but my stomach is still not quite right so I settled on a sammies meal. While still way more expensive than two little sandwiches should be, I thoroughly enjoyed it and even managed to make my former co-worker jealous over it.
Thanks to the holiday, soccer is tonight instead of tomorrow night. I could care less either way. I still kind of feel like crap so playing soccer should be fun, especially since at the last minute we have only one sub. As for tomorrow night, just looking at beer makes me want to puke. I guess I still need some time to recover.

Ewwwww
Had to leave work early today. Got a migraine on my way and lasted till about 1:30 before I couldn't really function anymore. I came home, took some Excedrin Migraine and passed out for a few hours. So far so good.

I would LOVE to post pictures from last night's girl's night, however, I hardly took any. Instead, I was passed out in the hotel room, thanks to a little too much pregaming.
I bowled in the afternoon and had a few beers before I met the girls to head up to Albany. My friend Jen and I picked up Heather, then we picked up the pizza, which was very good and very cheap, thanks to my friends at Gourmella's (formerly Cusato's). We all housed the pizza and Fish opened gifts and all was well. Until Shannon busted out the vanilla vodka that she didn't want to drink alone. Let's just say the drinks were more vodka than ginger ale and they tasted amazing. We finally headed out around 10 and went straight to Savannah's. First order of business - an Irish Car Bomb shot.. I don't do those.. I only finished about half of it so I ordered myself a jager bomb. BIG mistake. I'm pretty sure there was no red bull in it yet and that was what pushed me over the edge. Apparently I peed in an alley and then decided I had to go home. The girls put me in a cab and memorized the number, just in case anything happened to me. Course, someone could have taken the cab with me but NOOOOOO... lol.. I was supposed to text or call when I got back to the room but instead, I passed out so I think everyone was a little nervous about that. When Nikki came back around 1:30, she made me puke and got me into my jammies. I puked again when Tre and Fish came back around 3:30 and luckily, for once Tre didn't want to leave at the crack of dawn. I spent the rest of the day in bed, just trying not to throw up. I finally had some toast at 3:00 and am now feeling much better. I'm really disappointed though, as I planned the night and didn't get to partake in all the fun everyone had. Hopefully there'll be another girl's night on the horizon and there will be nothing but beer for me. NO SHOTS!!

Rumor has it, someone hit a transformer up near where I work so we lost power a little before 1:00. They finally let us go around 2:30 as we stood around in the dark for an hour and a half. It was nice for me because I got quite a few errands done that I didn't anticipate being able to do today, so hopefully no one got hurt too bad to get me out of work early!
Ashlee Simpson FINALLY gave birth to a baby boy, her first child with Fall Out Boy member Pete Wentz. I have no doubt you'll agree with me that this kid should be home schooled, cause any child named Bronx Mowgli (yeah.. like the f'n Jungle Book) deserves to get his ass kicked. Actually, it's his parents who's asses should be kicked. I'm not saying I want to name my kids sterotypically "normal" names, but I am pretty sure they won't be the ridiculed every day because of their name.. and again, NEVER gonna find that on a license plate in a Wheaties box. NEVER!
I'm always happy when someone leaves a comment or says something that makes me realize they read my blog. However, I was pretty excited this morning when I got a comment from someone whose blog I read pretty religiously. It was a good way to start my day!
Julianne Hough is hanging up her dancing shoes to concentrate on her music.. Until the music thing doesn't work out and she goes back to her day job. Why can't people just be good at one thing and let it go? Thanks to my early day, I've finally gotten around to watching DWTS this week and all I can say is "Go Lance and Lacey!" They picked the perfect time to peak and I hope they can keep it up and STEAL it from Brooke (she of the.. well.. NO personality) and Derek (he of the.. well.. WAY too much personality)!!!
Let me tell you, this is what I call a quickie!! I've done quite a few of these, but never that quick!!! (Get your minds out of the gutter)
Mike Mussina has announced his retirement. No offense, but I'd care JUST a bit more if he had stayed an Oriole and not broken my heart all those years ago.
Busy weekend on tap, but i hope to post some pictures for your viewing pleasure! Enjoy your weekend!!!

Why don't overweight celebrities have double chins?
I know I'm probably the only person who thinks so, but sometimes Kath and Kim cracks me up. Case in point: Kim is freaking out about the cable being out because "there is a Denise Richards marathon on at 3 pm and she's right. It IS complicated." Ah.. guilty pleasures. I really miss that show. I don't feel good about it, but it's true.

I really miss that show. I don't feel good about it, but it's true.
In a not-so shocker, Mckey (one of the three Brittany's) won America's Next Top Model. What did shock me was that it was Samantha and not Analeigh that made it into the Top Two. From that point on, it was a no-brainer. I do like that both girls had short hair and were kinda tough. I mean.. McKey came into her first photo shoot boxing and then picked Tyra up after winning. She's an interesting looking girl and I actually liked her the whole way through so while I was pulling for Analeigh, I'm ok with McKey. Congrats! Wonder if they'll let her have her name back now that she's won?
I picked up my new glasses this morning and I'm not so sure about them. I think they'll just take some getting used to but for right now, I'm kind of going back and forth. I know it's not the right thing to do, but baby steps are better than no steps at all!
We lost 6-4 last night, but it could have been way worse. We were missing my sister AND our usual goalie, but Allyson really stepped up again for us. This team just had some stellar passing, something we have not quite mastered yet. Personally, I played like ass and these girls were 8 million mph faster than me. So yeah.. that didn't help. We play this coming Tuesday instead of Wednesday, leaving the night before Thanksgiving open for some boozing, unlike last year. Well... that's not true. We DID booze last year, but then had to play soccer. Not a good combo!
I might be getting a little bit of OT today, as we have some applications that need to be filed before midnight. No, I won't be here THAT long, but it could be a couple extra hours, which is ok. I mean, I'm going home to an empty house so why should it matter what time I get there!? I think as long as I'm home in time for my Thursday night lineup, I'll be a happy girl!
Here's the latest on our FAVORITE Bravo TV reality shows. Well.. one Bravo show and one that might still go to Lifetime.
Twilight opens up tonight at midnight and while I'm not screaming bloody murder when the stars come on TV, I'm intrigued. However, I'm the nerd that would rather read the books first, so I already have them in my overstock.com shopping cart. Still, I have feeling my curiousity will not allow me to read them first. At least not all of them!
I'll try to get back to you later, but I make no guarantees. I might just enjoy my solitude! Have a Happy Thursday!!!

Ever wake up and just know it’s not gonna be your day? Let me count the ways:
Bad hair day
Too fat to fit into my pants
Got the hiccups
The heel on my shoes is non-existent, therefore anytime there’s NOT carpet, I sound like a one hoofed horse and I slide all over the floor, which was fun walking through the mall on my lunch break
Every slightly hoochie shirt in NY & Co. looked terrible on me, except the ones that were NOT on sale
My computer at work has mutinied against me – I don’t know what I did to it to make it do the things it does to me, but I’ve prepared at least 4 documents more than once today for that reason
My lips are so chapped that I can’t stand it, and no form of chapstick is helping. I’ve resorted to slathering my lips with my eczema medication.. Sexy. The last time I can remember them being this bad is when J and I first started dating and we were making out a lot.. I miss those days :(
In other news, Avenue Q, the best musical ever, is coming to Proctor’s in January. I have been waiting for it to come around ever since I took Sipper (the Australian) to see it when he visited me a few years ago. It’s the funniest show ever. I mean, when puppets have sex, songs are called “If You Were Gay” and Gary Coleman are involved, how can you go wrong? I’m trying to put together a group to go so I can enlighten all my friends to the hilarity that is Avenue Q. It didn’t win Tony’s for nothing ya know!!
I hit the mall at lunch to find a hoochie shirt for Saturday night, when the girls go out for my friend Fish’s 35th birthday. Obviously, that didn’t go so well. However, I did hit up the Macy’s One Day Sale and got two Liz Claiborne sweaters for $50.00. I have a problem, and it’s called Liz Claiborne. Because I went to the mall at lunch and didn’t eat, I ended up eating a Hormel Compleat meal for lunch. It’s basically a lean cuisine that you don’t have to freeze. Freaky, yes but WAY better than expected. I got the chicken pasta alfredo and while it did freak me out that I was eating non-frozen chicken, it was still pretty appetizing. Way to go Hormel!
I remember the days when my friend Chris and I used to watch The Real World religiously and actually cared what happened on it. Ya know, when they did more than just fight and hook up. Anyway, my co-worker’s roommate is in the running to become one of the new cast members, so head here and throw the guy a vote. His screen name is marcp2 and as of this post, he’s in 14th place from Troy, New York. It’d be kinda cool to get a real local person on and I don’t mean one from NYC. And just in case you can’t get enough of the challenges (and your favorite MTV “Stars” need a change of pace), here’s a new show for you. I admit.. I did get into Beauty and the Geek for one season, so this could be interesting.
While I have yet to watch the show, I couldn’t avoid knowing that Cody Linley was voted off Dancing with the Stars this week, setting up a showdown between Warren, Lance and Brooke. From what I hear, Brooke faltered a bit and Lance wowed the crowd. Can the sure thing be beaten? I hope so… Derek Hough gets on my nerves and I ADORE Lacey Schwimmer.
Finally, the ANTM finale is on tonight and I’m anxious to see who really goes home with it. All the leaks are saying the winner was obvious from the start, but I don’t see how that’s possible with these finalists. I mean, McKey’s first photo shoot was a disaster, Sam has been in the middle most of the time (except for her terrible runway show) and Analeigh only recently became a frontrunner. Guess we’ll have to wait and see. I know when I get home from soccer I’m going to have to watch that instead of Top Chef. Finales take precedence over shows I can tape and watch tomorrow without ruining the outcome (thank you world wide web).
Hope you don’t have as much trouble getting over the hump as I did today. Go NYTROPALOOZA!!!

I'm lacking on postable items today, but I'll give you some stuff to work with anyway.
Awww.. sometimes life imitates art, doesn't it?
Yeah.. I really have nothing. I didn't realize how much nothing I had until I tried to post it.
Let's do another conversation, this one between J and I. It was actually texts. Let me preface it by saying that I called him yesterday afternoon and left him a message. He then texted me this:
J: You're breaking up..
Me: We're breaking up? That's tacky
(In my head I'm thinking, um.. are we that Jonas Brother and Taylor Swift? I have a feeling her rebound options would be considerably better than mine, but I digress)
J: No dumbass, your phone was breaking up during your message.
I am not drinking excessively or smoking pot non-stop, so I don't know what is going on with my lack of brain cells lately.
I almost forgot: I'm getting glasses. I had laser eye surgery a few years ago and everything has gone really well with it. I'm both excited and shocked that I can see the clock in the middle of the night. However, one eye has an astigmatism so it's only about 95% while the other is 100%. Therefore, that eye struggles to keep up with the other eye so it has come to my attention that I should probably wear glasses for reading and when I'm on the computer, which is the majority of my day. My glasses are in and I just need to pick them up and start wearing them. I actually recycled a pair of frames I had bought just prior to my surgery so now I'll actually get some use out of them. And before you ask, no.. no pictures.
I tried to do a handstand (drunkenly) after the Chatham Fair. Whenever that Ipod commercial comes on talking about "doing handstands for you" I am cruelly reminded of my lack of ability (and fat ass) that hindered me from doing so.
No posts tomorrow so I apologize in advance. I'll have about 45 minutes between work and soccer and that time will more than likely be spent eating and changing. Hope you can get over the hump!!

I'm both excited and shocked that I can see the clock in the middle of the night. However, one eye has an astigmatism so it's only about 95% while the other is 100%. Therefore, that eye struggles to keep up with the other eye so it has come to my attention that I should probably wear glasses for reading and when I'm on the computer, which is the majority of my day. My glasses are in and I just need to pick them up and start wearing them. I actually recycled a pair of frames I had bought just prior to my surgery so now I'll actually get some use out of them. And before you ask, no.. no pictures.
I tried to do a handstand (drunkenly) after the Chatham Fair. Whenever that Ipod commercial comes on talking about "doing handstands for you" I am cruelly reminded of my lack of ability (and fat ass) that hindered me from doing so.
No posts tomorrow so I apologize in advance. I'll have about 45 minutes between work and soccer and that time will more than likely be spent eating and changing. Hope you can get over the hump!!

It defeats the purpose of walking on the treadmill if you're going to eat an entire Red Baron pizza afterwards.
This morning I was listening to my Ipod when the Beyonce song "Ring the Alarm" came on. The alarm went off and I asked my co-worker what was going on, not realizing the alarm was only going off in my ears. She might think I'm crazy.
Seriously, does EVERY boy band have to have a gay guy in it these days? Let's take bets as to which Backstreet Boy is coming out of the closet.. And NO Sandra, it's NOT the "rat-faced" one.
Yes.. this made me happy. Get over it.
An actual conversation I had with my father:
Me: Hey Dad.. when do you have off this week? I need an oil change and Jiffy Lube sent me a coupon.
(Note: Screw you all.. you know I get sucked in at Jiffy Lube and if my Dad takes it, I save money as he is smart enough to say no to whatever they say I need. Sue me)
Dad: I don't think I can do it this week. Maybe next week.
Me: Ok.. whatever works.
Dad: You know, with that new Toyota "saved by zero" campaign, you could probably upgrade your car for the same payment.
Me:................ Um.. yeah but I just need an oil change.
And now he's got me thinking. I know no good can come from this.

Nytropalooza notched our first win of the session by a 2-1 margin, thanks to Shannon's strategically placed head ball and Tre's awesome goal! It was a really great, fun game, with very little bitching. Nice thing was, we had a new ref who didn't call a thing! Really.. that's great, especially for our team who's a little more.... aggressive than other teams! We only had one sub which sounds bad, but after last week's debacle of too many subs, I think it really worked out. Two people (at least) can't come next week, so we should be in decent shape.
I had to run from work to the game, so I didn't eat anything prior (I didn't think it would be the best choice). Instead, I stopped after the game and got myself a Spicy Chicken sandwich from Wendy's, just the way I like it. I haven't had one in a while cause I had a few bad experiences with it, but I was in the mood for chicken. I think my spicy chicken phase is over. It just didn't do too much for me and I was kind of wishing I'd gone for the Baconator. What's happening to me?!
Speaking of food, Shell and I met my friend Julie for lunch today. Julie and I used to bowl against each other in high school and college, and we've managed to stay in touch all these years. So, when I started working not far from her, we decided to have lunch. Julie has introduced me to Moe's and I'm not sure if I'm eternally grateful, or if I should be upset with her because of it. I got an awesome burrito, but I also lapsed into a heavy food coma shortly afterwards.
We have a cleaning lady at my work, who is usually getting started while I'm still there. She empties out my garbage can, but she only empties out the bag, so I keep the same bag all week. It's a little disturbing to me, but to each their own. I have taken to crushing up my post-it notes as I've noticed her spending way too long ripping my post-it's out of my slightly used bag. I felt bad about it. She's a nice lady.
Tre and I got Chinese food on Sunday and this was my fortune: Good luck bestows upon you. You will get what your heart desires. Is Jason Statham coming to town for a Transporter 3 press junket? Cause THAT would make my fortune come true.
Marjorie finally was evicted from the Top Model house this week. The judges finally had enough of her nerves and awkwardness. That leaves Analeigh, McKey and Sam as the final 3. I'm gonna guess Analeigh and McKey will be walking in that final runway show. Sam's fine and all, she just doesn't really compare to either of them.
Aubrey Huff has been awarded the American League Silver Slugger award as DH for the O's! The award honors the past season where Huff was in the league's top 10 in hits, home runs, RBI's, doubles and extra base hits. It's nice to see something good has come from the O's this past season and hopefully he can keep it up, if he's still with the team. I mean.. you never know what could happen so I'm not gonna get too excited. What can I say? I'm a cynical O's fan, but at least I'm still a fan!
Top Chef debuted last night with a slightly oversized episode, where two contestants went home, one of which never even made it to the house after Tom Colicchio has the cheftestants work it out with some apples. I'd explain to you what he made them do but all I can remember is peeling, then something weird, then they had to make something with the apples. The bottom two were actually friends from cooking school (seemingly the CIA in Hyde Park) and while Patrick was upset his buddy went home, he didn't have to wait long to lament about his short time on the show as he was the next to go. There are a few entertainers, some annoying and full of themselves (HELLO STEFAN) but it looks to be a good cast and hey, there always has to be a villain. I'm looking forward to watching another season of shit I'll never eat, yet am enthralled with anyway!
I can't wait till the weekend. I think my Tuesday dress down day really screwed with my head and made this week seem WAY longer than normal. Good luck getting through your Friday!!

This XM/Sirius merger is surely going to be a good thing sometime down the road, but right now it’s just bugging me that they changed the names of some of my favorite channels. What was wrong with Lucy? Why did they have to change it to Lithium!? I know they’re the same channels, but I am just not ready for the new names. However, I should look into it and see if there are some new channels I might like. Ugh.. research.
Jennifer Aniston is FINALLY speaking out about her feelings after Angelina Jolie professed her love for going to work on the Mr. & Mrs. Smith set.
I have yet to see either show this week, but I couldn’t avoid hearing Maurice Greene was the latest to be let go from Dancing with the Stars. The final four are Cody Linley, Brooke Burke, Warren Sapp and Lance Bass. It makes sense to me. I mean, from what I’ve seen lately, Maurice had kind of taken a step back while the others had been steadily improving. Please tell me there are no more group dances… I can’t take it!
I wish I had learned earlier in my life what a wonderful spread cream cheese is. I know what I was missing and I scold myself every single time!
I have an eye doctor’s appointment tomorrow for the first time in over three years. I got the laser surgery and never went back. However, with the migraine and ocular issues I’ve been having lately, it seemed like the right thing to do. Even more so now, as I have vision insurance! I have a pair of frames that I got just prior to having the surgery, so I’ll probably just have the eye doctor put new lenses in them. They’re really cute and I wouldn’t mind having to wear them while reading or at the computer.
My sister’s hair came out really nice. It’s more of an auburn, rather than a vibrant red, like I thought it was going to be. She was thinking like Kate Walsh from Private Practice to which my friend replied “that’s natural. I can’t give you natural red hair.” Course, I’ve only seen pictures, but she swished it around like a hair model so you could see the actual colors. I bet she could have gone redder if she really wanted to.
Thanks to Sue and Pete, I’m all caught up on Entourage and ALMOST caught up on True Blood. If you don’t have HBO or do and aren’t watching these shows, what the hell is wrong with you!? Ok.. maybe you don’t like blood. I can give you that. And maybe you don’t like Jeremy Piven. If that’s the case… stop reading my blog. You’re not welcome here.
I got 10/14 on my football picks last week. I usually just let J do them, but he hasn’t been doing so great lately, so I thought I’d take them over. Don’t tell him, but I just go with what the majority of the people are doing, or I look at what the experts say and give them a shot. It has nothing to do with actual football knowledge by any means. Regardless, I’m kicking his ass and isn’t that really all that matters?
The O's unveiled new uniforms today. They made a big stink about the unveiling and I was really hoping it'd be a little more.. climactic. Still.. YAY! New unis!!! :) New look, new identity.. does that translate into wins? God, I hope so!
Unstable? Paula Abdul fan? NEVER…
Hump ‘em like you’ve never humped ‘em before…. even if you have.

It's gonna be a busy week for me, so I'm trying to sneak a post in while I can. Unfortunately, I don't have much to say!
Operation Ipod is a work in progress. I'm trying to remember what I had on it in the first place, but it's easier said than done. Still, I'm up to almost 1500 songs which puts me pretty close to what I had.
Poor Britney - Girl can't leave town for ONE DAY and something sketchy happens.
Lindsey's not 100% sure she's a lesbian. SHOCKER..
Fringe comes back to TV tonight and I can't wait. Course, I doubt I'll be home to watch it (that seems to be a trend this week) but I still look forward to it. I have a soccer game tomorrow night but it's early so I can't go home after work. I just hope it gets me home in time to watch the first installment of Top Chef in real time. Or something resembling it.
I don't know if anyone watches The Big Bang Theory, but Analeigh and Samantha from ANTM had cameos on last night's show where Howard and Raj spend the entire episode trying to find the location of the Top Model house... and the future Mrs. Wolowitz. I wonder how they pulled off that network crossover...
I went out for Monday Night Football last night, as the majority of my friends didn't have to work today. At least it's a dress down day for me. That makes it not so bad. I have no idea why I don't go more often. $5 all you can eat pizza and wings and a guy I could spend hours staring at. Again... why don't I go? Maybe it's because I only watched mmm... 10 seconds of the game? Yeah.. that could be it.
Winter Walk is December 6th and I'm trying to get some of my girls from college to come. Hudson is "so far away" (let's not point out that I go see them with no complaints) but barring any terrible weather, they might actually consider it. I'll keep ya posted on that one! I feel bad making it out like we enjoy Winter Walk, when really all we do is pre-game at Fish's house, freeze our asses off for about a half hour, then bar hop. I think we do it in a more fun way.
My friend Shannon is dying my sister's hair red today. I'm anxiously awaiting the photographic evidence!!
I've gotta get a move on. Lunch is almost over and I have stuff I need to tackle. Enjoy your Veteran's Day and Happy Birthday to my friend Joey, and J's mom (not that she knows about this blog or anything, but I feel better putting it out there).

Let me catch you up on some things:
My enchiladas were THE BOMB. They were just as good for lunch the day after. I'm no top chef, but I make one hell of an enchilada.
Thursday night I had to get my hair cut by my friend Shannon. Another friend of ours was getting her hair colored for the first time ever, and getting it cut somewhere other than the mall, so we thought it'd be a good reason to get together. A few of us made it a "wine night" and here are some pictures to prove it. 
Tre loves wine night!
Everyone thought a mohawk would be funny... until I still had the goop in my hair after a few washings. 
The finished product! Check out those highlights. Virgin hair no more!!
Friday night, my sister subbed in my league once again. She only bowled OK (for her) the first two games so she decided she was going to bowl 290. Well, she bowled 298 instead! It was such a crazy experience. She buried every single shot and I really believe that if the lane hadn't broken down, she would have gotten her first 300. The lane being sketchy just gave her too much time to think about throwing that final ball. Funny thing is, my Dad bowled 298 about three weeks ago. I sure wish it were my turn next, but I was so nervous watching her that there is absolutely no way I could ever do it myself. My nerves just can't take it!
After that, J and I went to see Zach and Miri Make a Porno. I'd been begging him all week and I finally got my way. It was absolutely hysterical! I mean, I like Kevin Smith movies practically regardless, but this one was just funny from start to finish. I think that even people who aren't huge fans of Kevin Smith can find something to like. It's on my list of movies I highly recommend!
Saturday was our summer softball party, and it was an absolute blast. I have no pictures, as my sister decided it was her turn to take all the pictures, which turned into me trying to figure out how to work the camera so she could continue to be the camera whore she loves to be! However, that also means they are not yet online, or at least I haven't received them yet. When I do, I'll post some. Anyway, we got home around 8 am after staying at my cousin's, so I immediately got to work on my Ipod. It took me 12 hours, but I have come close to getting it to where I want it to be. I reset it to the factory presets and then started downloading and loading my cd's on. Like I said, it took me 12 hours, and it's not perfect, but it's way better than it was a week ago. So, do I still hate Itunes? No... but that doesn't mean they're back on the top of the list either.
I caught up on all my shows, and imagine my surprise to find ELINA got kicked off ANTM!? Um.. seriously? I'm shocked that Marjorie is still there and she's not. Now I have to say that I have no idea who's going to win. Maybe Analeigh will come from behind and take it all! I'd be ok with that.
Mouse watch 2008 - 7 mice in three days. I'm grossed out just thinking about it
Well, I'm trying to watch Shampoo and do my laundry before Rock of Love Girls: Charm School comes on (yes, I have priorities) so I'm gonna cut this short. I'll try to post again in the very near future! Hope you have a great week!!!

Breaking up with Hef is apparently the right thing to do. It kills the show, but it makes so much more sense!!! I mean come on.. did you really think this girl was gonna end up with an 83 year old man? She's dumb, don't get me wrong... but smart enough to know what a good thing she had and move on!
DAMN YOU SUSAN LUCCI... Is it wrong that I hope one of the other male dancers (hello Derrick Hough) comes down with dysentary so Tony Dovolani can take his place?
Soccer was a train wreck. 12 people is just too many to have on the team. There's no time for people to really gel and know how the others play. At least that (and the fact that we're all out of shape) is our story and we're sticking to it. Ugh.. the other team had this goalie that we lovingly call "psycho goalie"... cause she is. She was talking SOOOO much smack and actually threatened one of our girls. Tre got a penalty kick past her, but that was our only goal, mainly because we really didn't give her anything to save. She won't get off so easy next time we play her, let's put it that way.
Time for bed... I might have a concussion (ball kicked to the back of my head) so I'm pretty much just hoping I wake up in the AM! Hump whatever you've got!

I'm always so hungry when I get home from work. I'm not used to this schedule yet. I've basically spent my ride home telling J about all the things I want to eat when I get home. Yesterday, it was a turkey burger on the best rolls ever. I had one left. It had a TEENY spot of blue mold on it. I cut the mold out of the roll. I have a problem. Regardless, it was a damn good turkey burger and I'm glad I did it. Tonight, I made enchiladas and corn bread. However, we're not eating it until tomorrow. It's pretty sad that I have to plan my meals a day in advance. If I do say so myself, the enchiladas look great and I can't wait to see how far my cooking expertise (or lack thereof) goes.
Ok, I love my Grey's and I TOTALLY didn't see this one coming!? Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of the Hahn/Callie relationship, mainly cause I really like Callie and Sloane together, but that doesn't mean I wanted to get rid of the bitchiest bitch on Grey's!? AND, lots of shakeups on Heroes too! Apparently, the recent EW cover lamenting how terrible Heroes has become has really taken it's toll, as the show is being "restructured."
I still adore Hulu. I managed to watch old episodes of Private Practice and 90210, so now I am completely up to date on my television watching. At least for my midweek shows!
No mouse traps yet, which might be why when I (once again) opened the dishwasher, my little mouse friend was sitting on top of one of my dishes, staring right at me. The little bastard isn't even scared of me, yet I (once again) screamed and slammed the dishwasher shut. What he have here, is a battle of wits, that I'm losing miserably.

Dad is coming over today to put mouse traps around the house. I heard some noise the other night behind the dryer and Tre heard some over the weekend, so it looks like our little furry friend has made his way into our home, and hopefully will now make his way into a mousetrap. Sorry animal rights activists - that little sucker scared the crap out of me.
I was lucky that NO ONE was at my voting place today, so I managed to get in before work. I was so proud of myself, that I bought myself an egg mcmuffin. What can I say? Everyone loves motivation.
DWTS - oh, the first group dance was a mess with a capital "M." I didn't think it could get worse after last week, but it sure did. There was no unison whatsoever during the group part, but at least Lance and Lacey kicked ass with their solo. The other team (paso doble) killed it in every single way. There was not even a comparison, although I doubt it's 100% fair since Brooke (while not as good as a professional dancer) had the best shot of looking like she was one! I don't know who's going to go, but I have a feeling this is the last week I'll be able to see my Tony. Damn you Susan Lucci, and your lack of rhythm!
I really wanted to go see Zack and Miri Make a Porno tonight, but it seems everyone else has something better to do. I'm just trying to avoid election coverage. Yeah, I'm informed.
Tonight I'm going to attempt to make enchiladas. I'll let you know how that goes. Sue insists it's easy. So easy that even I could do it. Famous last words.
A new soccer session starts tomorrow, with the new name of Nytropalooza! It was time for a change. We were Wu-Tang for a yearish and after we weren't so successful this past session, we knew it was time to switch things up.
Time for me to get a move on. Luckily for you, they let you surf the 'net at lunch. I'm not making it a habit, but things are crazy so I'm trying to give you what you need... ME!!!
Happy Election Day!
I was lucky that NO ONE was at my voting place today, so I managed to get in before work. I was so proud of myself, that I bought myself an egg mcmuffin. What can I say? Everyone loves motivation.
DWTS - oh, the first group dance was a mess with a capital "M." I didn't think it could get worse after last week, but it sure did. There was no unison whatsoever during the group part, but at least Lance and Lacey kicked ass with their solo. The other team (paso doble) killed it in every single way. There was not even a comparison, although I doubt it's 100% fair since Brooke (while not as good as a professional dancer) had the best shot of looking like she was one! I don't know who's going to go, but I have a feeling this is the last week I'll be able to see my Tony. Damn you Susan Lucci, and your lack of rhythm!

There's a mouse in my dishwasher. Yeah, it was a shock to me too. I opened it to put a bowl in cause my sister doesn't seem to know the true point of a dishwasher, and something grey and furry started coming towards me. I screamed and slammed the dishwasher shut. It's still closed and will continue to be.
Happy Birthday wishes go out to my friend Stephanie (today) and to J (yesterday). J had a birthday party on Saturday night, so I went over to his place to celebrate. In the "it's a small world" category, my friend Rachael's younger sister was one of the guests at the party (Rachael is who I visited when I went to Ireland last year). Anyway, I got to chat with her and she let me know that my friend Crystal's sister (Crystal went to Ireland with me) had her baby on Saturday, so congrats go out to Jenny as well!
Anyway, two of J's friends that live near the city came up. 2 female friends. Yes, he's allowed to have female friends. That isn't the issue. Still, I admit that it made me a little uncomfortable. To be honest, I don't really know many of J's friends, nor do I have much in common with them (HELLO RED FLAG) however I have been with J for over two years and an opportunity for us to meet has never come up and I was kind of OK with that. I really didn't want to go to J's party because I don't really have anything to say to most of his friends and I basically told him that. Not to mention the fact that we didn't see each other all last week so I didn't really feel like spending the time we had with 20 other people. However, that didn't happen. That, and he told me his friend, oh let's call her "bug," was looking forward to meeting me. So, I would have felt bad not going. So anyway, bug and her friend "bee" show up and it's all smiles and "hey how are you" and some small talk. After a few hours the only ones left at the party were me, J, bug and bee. I decided to go to bed and let them all booze it up till the odd hours. Ya know, us old folks need our rest, even with daylight savings time.
One of those bitches snored like a buzzsaw and I could hear it in the next room. Know why!? Cause they were asleep on the couch. I guess I should have been happy they weren't sleeping on J's bedroom floor. Anyway, I heard them get up a little early and they came back a little after 10. How do I know? Because I was woken up by "I want to wake up Justin, but I don't want to wake up HER." Yeah.. TOO LATE. So J asks me if I'm going to breakfast with them all and while I would have rather gone to breakfast with Cloris Leachman, I was starving. I could not have been more of a fifth wheel and the only person even attempting to engage me in conversation was J, and only because he was trying to explain the stories they all were telling. I was beginning to think I didn't want my sausage and cheese omelette that badly! Luckily, my friend Crystal called during the middle of the meal and I was more than happy to take her call. She got me through until my food came. This is about the time I had a revelation as to exactly who "bee" is: The phantom buddy who kept drunk dialing J at all hours of the night last year, regardless of whether it was a school night or not. The phantom buddy who lived in Florida. Yeah.. not anymore apparently. So, I said to J on the way home from breakfast "oh, I figured out who bee is" to which he replies "what do you mean?" I finish with "she's your late night phone call friend... who lives in Florida, right?" He didn't have too much to say after that. After breakfast is when I get the memo that the girls are also going to J's birthday dinner at his sister's house. I'm beyond thrilled. I'm not saying they weren't nice people. I'm sure they are. It just didn't come off that way to me. So I took a shower and as I get out of the bathroom (in a towel) I just yell to J "is anyone here but you?" and he says "yes." Which now means guess who else has to take showers? They were now encroaching on my getting ready space and that's a line you just don't cross.
Luckily, J convinced the girls to ride separately to his sister's, as they would probably (and hopefully) leave before us. So, dinner was good (thanks J's sister) and luckily J's brother and a few other people were there to distract me, but these girls were just... annoying and immature. It was lots of whispering and giggling, like we were at a middle school dance. I counted the minutes until they left. The funniest thing was J's brother in law asked me if I had met them before and I said "no" and just the way he said it you could tell he knew I wasn't impressed. J will usually ask me if I had fun or what I thought of someone, and he was smart enough not to do so in this case, so he must have known things hadn't gone so well. I feel kinda bad but some things just aren't meant to be.
I wouldn't say it's an upgrade, nor does it have the same perks as her old relationship, but at least he might still be alive in 5 years.
Don't forget to vote tomorrow. I intend to, but then I also intend to watch no coverage at all. Thank God the CW will still let me watch 90210 in peace.

What a week! The new job is really going well! I managed to do a few things on my own on Friday and that felt good. Granted, I haven't figured out if I did them right, but at least I was able to give it a shot. Apparently the woman before me didn't come back after the first week, so when I show up on Monday I think they'll be pleasantly surprised!
Last night, Tre and I went to the Halloween party at Meadowgreens: 
Lindsey could not take a picture with her eyes open: She was a bee, Tre was Bristol Palin (Sarah Palin's pregnant teenage daughter) and I was Wednesday Addams. 
Nothing was funnier than watching Bristol Palin do the cha cha slide (she obviously threw in her own moves). It took all my kegel muscle strength to not pee my pants so I could take this picture. 
Why do men LOVE to dress up as women? I felt his boobs too - TOTALLY fake.
Let's not even go there about the Itunes thing. It's still a mess and I honestly haven't even made any attempt to fix it, cause I don't want to get frustrated... again.
Top Chef starts next week so you knew some sort of scandal had to come up.
So Joaquin Phoenix is quitting acting and he wants to start a music career? Maybe he and Jared Leto should have a chat.
Cloris Leachman FINALLY got booted from DWTS. Meaning, I have at least one more week to stare at Tony Dovolani. ,
Sheena was the first evictee from the ANTM house in Amsterdam. She and Elina (once again) were in the bottom two, but Elina survived once again. Miss J took his pants off. I don't think there was anything underneath it. Thank god his shirt was a little longer than usual.
Enjoy your weekend and I'll do my best to post again as soon as I can.
