Christmas weekend rundown...

So Christmas has come and gone... the weekend was a WHIRLWIND... but it was really good. Let's see.... here's the breif rundown:

Thurday:
FUN day at work, got home around 5:30ish, went to the Lucky D with a hott girl, then went home and decorated the Christmas tree with the hott girl and mom. Then... ar and I fell asleep on the sofa... and at 2am the tree went CRASHING to the ground. I had to go wake up my parents and tell them the tree fell. It was funny... I mean it wasnt.. but it was. It was a MESS. Broken ornaments everywhere... and of course my parents thought that we were being wild and crazy and 'misbehaving'... which would be one thing if we were but it was the one night we were actually asleep!!!! But we got the tree back up and headed to bed.

Friday:
Ar and I ran all over getting last minute stocking stuffers for my family and also spent a good 3 hours at Aunt Jos making ornaments. Mine for my mom was slightly ugly... but oh well. Then it was back home to get ready for the Waters Christmas eve fun... Ar wrapped all my presents and then she was still there when everyone showed up so she came to meet everyone. It was nice - till Uncle Bill showed up wasted. But we'll just leave that alone. My family went to 10:30 mass and then I went to BED.

Saturday:
Opened presents. I got lots of fun stuff. Then mom made a HUGE breakfast for us. It was delish. I ate way too much. but shhh it was yummy! Then I pretended like I could run and hit the treadmill and did some crunches. Then it was time to shower and get to Aunt Jos for Christmas with my moms side. It was a lot of fun... there were pigs in a blanket for hors d'evours (however you spell that shit) and all the cousins were there. We had a LOT of fun, got in a bit of trouble, but all in all it was nice. I got more nice stuff (including THEE hottest pair of black heals EVER). And the bestest present ever??? AR SHOWED UP AT AUNT JOS AND SUPRISED ME!!!!!! I was stunned!!! But it was great. She walked in JUST as we finished with the presents. It was perfect. And I got to see her on Christmas afterall. So then we headed home soon after that, and I got SO sick. I had eaten too much and definately payed for it. Poor ar drove all the way up, and I was all sicky and like couldnt move. I felt really badly. Then at like 6am I puked my brains out. It was great. But then I felt fine.

Sunday:
Got up, mom made breakfast again, then I packed up my stuff, went to the k-zans to say bye to marty. Then ar and i went to her house in MD so she could change and give the dog meds. then it was off to b-more to see RENT! It was soooo good. And perfect seeing it with her. Then we drove BACK to pa after the show. It was bonkers!!!! But such a good time!

And then Monday it was back to work... and here I am. I caught up on sleep last night... so that was a treat. And I think ar's comin up on Wed and hangin around til sunday or monday. SO SO SO SO SO fun!!!!

Ok I have TONS to do at work... so I'm going to do that.
Maybe I'll post again later. Cause I slacked over the weekend....

Ho Ho Ho!

I've been a total slacker this week! Can I blame it on the holidays? Crazy week at work? Any of those acceptable? haha. Either way... I'm in a great mood this morning.

I woke up to my lovely girlfriend calling me at 6am to make sure I got my ass up and went to the gym. So I did... rocked the rowing machine, elliptical and did my crunches. Came home, exchanged presents with my roommate, showered, finished packing, loaded up the car and headed off to work.

When I got here there was all kinds of gifts on my desk. Leather gloves, an ADORABLE scarf and hat from tara, scotty got me liquer filled chocolates, then a bottle of champagne, a ceramic bowl that is the exact colors of my bedroom and lots of other stuffs. Too fun!! Sales people do do nice work come christmas. A thank you for all the shit they put us through during the year. Ha ha ha.

AND the best news ever.... I GOT A BONUS FOR THE TRAFFIC CONVERSION!!!! Jay got it approved for everyone in the traffic dept to get a few extra bucks in the next pay period as a thank you for all we've done. And that is amazing. You have NO idea how excited I am. Not so much because of the money, but more because it shows that they do realize I've been busting my ass for the past 3 months. And it's just really nice.

And even nicer is that I get to play with Ar tonight! We're going to the Lucky D for dinner, then tree decorating, then who knows what. But I can't wait to see her. Cause I've missed her TONS this week.

I have a BIG weekend ahead of me. I'm excited. I do love the holidays... I got some good gifts for peope this year and I'm really excited about giving them :)

Anyway... I'm hoping to get out at 3pm today when the office closes - we also have a luncheon/secret santa exchange... and I have 4 logs to print. So it's going to be a busy day!!

HAPPY HOLIDAY-ING!

A Whirlwind weekend

Ok... so I opened this window at like 1:30 to start writing... its now 5:46... and I'm just starting. Needless to say I actually WORKED at work today. My boss was out (which was a treat as shes a raging pregnant bitch these days), but I had lots to do. And plenty of other stuff happened but I don't feel like wasting my time talking about work... cause that's BORING!

I had a lovely weekend. Headed to MD on Thursday (you can disregard the previous post about not going... we worked through that). Then Fri got up and drove Ar to work, then went back to her house and showered then headed to the mall. I got a few needed items and then went to get her at work. And it was fun cause I got to drive her car all day which i LOOOOOVE. Then we went to see Spanglish which was adorable. I loved it! And then we went back to her house, did a whole bunch of nothing productive and then went bowling later in the night. I was so tired and felt really badly because I couldnt muster up a lot of eneregy to be a 'fun' bowler. But it was a good time... I sucked as usual. But I'm not really competitive like that.

Then Saturday morning I got up and headed back to Ocean Grove. Goodbyes suck... like everytime I have to leave her it stinks. But... I had to go to my Aunts Christmas party in North Jersey and she had to go to work and then her boss' party... so I drove home to OG, then got showered and changed and continued to drive to North Jersey where I met Michelle for Aunt Jan's christmas party. It was nice... but formal. And that's never too much fun. But I had some wine and good food, so I can't complain.

And Ar found out on Sat that she got the job in Boston! And I'm super excited for her... it's going to be really hard to be so far away... but we'll figure it out somehow. She's so excited (even if she's slightly stressed right now)... and in the long run I think everything will work out. At least I hope it does :) I just need to get a bunch of SUPER warm clothes!!

Anyway... then Sunday I came back to OG to a HUGE mess of an apt. To give the SUPER short version, my roommate had a christmas party sat night. Her ex-girlfriend showed up late night all wasted and basically tried to throw down with roommates current boyfriend (who was passed out in bed) and then proceeded to punch (and shatter) the front window on her way out. Kelly (the roommate) called the cops and filed a report... and is currently in the process of getting the window fixed. For the time being we're all ghetto fab with some ply-wood boarding up the window.

After Kelly explained to me the whole story of what happened, I went for a bike ride. It was cold, but it was good to be outside and on my bike again. Shhh don't tell anyone, but I've really missed it a lot. I rode 12 miles in just under an hour so that was good... and I can't wait til the spring cause riding near the ocean is SO nice. I love it :)

Then I came home and did NOTHING for the rest of the day. It was great!


Now I need to head out and go to Borders to get my work polly present. Then to the mall to finish the rest of my shopping. Eekads. I guess I'm not going to make it to the gym today. Woops! Maybe I'll get there tomorrow. We'll see!

bathroom tears at work... always a good time

i hate fighting... like i HATE it. i used to alway pride myself on what a good fighter i was. and how i could win in a fight with anyone...

but i hate fighting with her. i stink at it. and i just hate it so much.

it makes me feel sick to my stomach, i get the chills.... its all so shitty.

i guess my plans to go to MD have been put on hold......

tis the season...

I'm in SUCH a festive mood today. I'm wearing a green skirt (i was tempted to whip out the red heels to really go all out... but decided that would be slightly psycho) which a cream shirt and an ADORABLE multi striped scarf. I figured I'd go christmasy since we have the big point-setta bash tonight. Should be a good time... I'll just go for the first hour and a half (the VIP aka - FREE FOOD AND DRINK) part. Hopefully they can hook me up with some Diet Coke since I'll be heading to MD immediately following the p-bash.

Not much else to say today. Ar's sick and that makes me sad. But I'll be there tonight to make her tea and soup and make sure she stays on the couch resting :)

Last night I talked to Kelly for a while which was nice... haven't talked to her all week. She was being funny. And I did laundry and packed.

And I just did a little Christmas shopping online this morning... I'm feeling VERY productive. Hopefully Sunday I will get some baking done! I want to make cookies to bring into work on Monday. Even though there's rumors of SNOW on Monday. Which shhhh I'm secretly excited about - too bad I still have to get to work if it does snow though.

HO! HO! HO! I'm off to work :)

Move over cause LUDA got somethin to say...

I'm in a good mood today... and since my new favorite thing is wriritng lists, I think I'll list why I'm in a good mood....

* I got 8 hours of sleep last night
* I talked to ar for OVER an hour on the phone last night (and I feel like we hadn't done that in a while...)
* I get to go to MD tomorrow night to see my sexy bitch
* Friday I'm gonna go Christmas shopping!!!! Which will be fun ONLY because I have off and will go while ar is at work... I can't WAIT!
* Tomorrow night before I head to MD I have the point-setta bash for work... which will be fun because all my co-workers will be BOMBED (as theres an open bar for the first 2 hours)... it's quite entertaining.
* It's pay day!
* We're playing Sarah on the point right now
* I found the CD from kelly that has when i move you move on it - and that song makes me SO hyper

Let's see, what else? Today I have TONS to get done. Lots to do at work so I can actually HAVE off on Friday, and lots to do at home. I'm gonna run home on my lunch, throw in a load of laundry, pack a bag for the gym, eat and hopefully do at least a FEW christmas cards. Then tonight right from work I'll head to the gym, get home by 8ish, shower, eat dinner, pack for the weekend and do some more christmas cards. I also need to get gas, and buy stamps.

Isn't my life exciting?? Teehee... I know :)
