Happy Valentine's Day!

It has been a wonderful day!

...I would write about all the wonderful things that happened, but I am on my way to go see Valentine's Day with C...yay!

Hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day!

Game Night!

I said I would try to complete NaBloPoMo this month, even if it did start not on the first.

So tonight,....

I am playing Game Night with two people, one of my favorite couples, and it is AWESOME. and i am somewhat drunk.

YAY!!!

Where Did January Go?

The way I see it, I'm only 5 days late. Whatevs.

This month....


I like: that I finally upgraded my phone!

I don't like: that it's still really really cold out

I want you to know: that I'm going to start my 365 Project very soon...FO REAL this time

I've planned: a gamie night/weekend!

I want to say to someone special: I'm really happy you finished that damn video game.

Cruise was really fun. Though C has decided he doesn't love cruises. But it was a great lil getaway. It was 3 day cruise to the Bahamas. I realized I can't say "Bahamians" properly. The water was freezing, but the weather was warm. The only downside was the night I drank too much, got lost on the boat for over 45 minutes, missed the group picture at dinner, got mad/upset about missing said group picture, ran off, and wound up getting into a chocolate strawberry-throwing war with the bf. Only to wake up the next morning with a hangover the size of Montana and him screaming at me to get up and get towels because...

he overflowed the shower.

for real.

but after all that, we made up, and the trip was great. Oh wait, there were 2 other downsides:
1. I had to stay up until 4AM the night of the trip to do work (which I later got in trouble for, but that's for another post,...maybe) and only got 2 hours of sleep before getting in a cab, to take a train, to board the plane. Oof.

2. I got my period at 4AM the night of the trip. No vacation sex. Oof x100.

But overall, great time. Hopefully next time we'll stay a lil longer, though there's not much to see. But I would like to go to the Atlantis waterpark and go swimming.

I haven't written in a really really long time. I totally blew NaBloPoMo,...but that was on purpose due to teh trip. I was hoping to restart in February, which obviously didn't happen. Just observing. Later kiddies.

Pieces of Me- January 2010 Edition

I found this little game over at *Notes from the Toothfairy* and thought it looked fun, so I decided to join too!

This month....


I like: that I'm going on a 3 day cruise to the Bahamas!
I don't like: that I have to go back to work after our 12-day holiday break
I want you to know: that I'm going to start my 365 Project very soon
I've planned: to buy the stupid coffee maker that I was supposed to receive as a Christmas present
I want to say to someone special: I understand your love of "DragonAge: Origins" but I wish we would spend more time doing things together.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I wound up watching "The Blind Side" last night. It was really good, though I thought in the end the guy would go back and help his brother, but he didn't even try to think about his past, which I thought was odd because they had just reconnected.

Then I woke up at around 1,  and C made "Country Breakfast"- sausage patty on a biscuit with a white creamy sauce. Yummmm. Though I should really get off my bum and start takin down our pretty (thought very dead) Christmas tree...

Day 1, 2010

So I joined National Blog Posting Month, aka NaBloPoMo.
Which means I will post once a day for a month, which brings me closer to completing my goal of finishing shit. Sah-weeet.

Last night was fun, though I'm a bit ambivalent about the beginning of a new year. I didn't bother with making any resolutions this year, because (as I never finish anything) I usually do whatever it is for a maximum of 3 months before I either forget about it or give up. So this year I am starting 101 in 1001 (see previous posts). Which is a pretty lofty idea for one who does not follow through on goals, but we shall see.

But I digress...

Last night we had another couple over for New Years celebration. I wasn't too thrilled with this idea at first because I really wanted to go to NYC to this amazing sounding loft party another friend had invited me (and C) to, but he didn't wanna go. But we played Kings Cup, my absolute favorite drinking game, and watched Times Square/Las Vegas hoopla/performances, and ate lots, and got drunk. And I realilzed the best part about staying in on a holiday is not worrying about how you are going to get home at the end of the night. Also, when you lose something (such as me misplacing my phone at some point), you know it is not gone forever.  Awe.Some.

In other news, I'm watching "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations" because there was a marathon on the other day, and it now lives in my DVR and is taking up entirely too much space. Even though we just got a bootleg copy of Blindside which I would much rather watch. But alas, C has the remote. And I have the laptop. And I am trying to finish shit...dammit.

It's the episode on the Greek Islands. I just witnessed a bunch of guys drink alcohol from a gas can, skin and eat a lamb, and do some sort of Riverdance. The skinning was really really gross. I think one of the guys bit the lamb (pre-death). Ew.

Single Girl Behavior

C has been locked away in the cave alll dayyyyyy. (I renamed one of the rooms in our apartment to the cave because he holes up in there in the dark with video games...it's cave-like. I fear bats may fly out of there at some point soon.)

He has come out only to eat and pee. I can't say I expected this, though I suppose it's normal weird boy behavior.

Being that I've been mostly alone all day, it reminded me of that Sex and The City episode where all the girls share their "weird single girl" behaviors. Like Carrie, standing in the kitchen eating crackers with jelly, and Miranda watching QVC.

So a review of some of my weird single girl (or boy-locked-away-in-a-room-so-I-might-as-well-be-here-by-myself) behavior:

• watching terrible TV. That includes Gilmore Girls, Law & Order:SVU marathons, and chick flicks (today included Happy Feet and Beverly Hills Chihuahua).
• checking in on all my favorite blogs, and searching for new ones 
• blogging and/or writing
• reviewing my old Time Out magazines and writing down all the "to check out" places in my notebook. This one requires explaining. For at least 6 months now, I have been receiving Time Out magazine weekly, though I don't remember subscribing to it or paying for it. Anyway, I used to skim them for cool new places to check out in NYC, but now that's a lot harder to do being that I don't live or work in NYC. Buuuut...I still like to do it.
• sweatpants, a bottle of wine, and cleaning
