TGIF!

I have totally been slacking over here. I missed Post-It Note Tuesday AND Keely's questions! Guess I gotta wait til next Tuesday... :sigh:

In other news, last Saturday was the Hoboken St. Patty's Day Parade! I missed the parade...again...but it was definitely fun! Well, until night time when I fell asleep on the train home, wound up at the stop after mine with a dead phone, and had to borrow someone's phone to call C to pick me up. And then C was like "Hey, who's phone did you use?" I was like "I dunno, some stranger." The person turned out to be C's old student and C still had his phone number! Random!

Got to see some old friends, which was very cool. People from highs school who I literally ahven't seen in 8 years- they were surprised how I "changed." I was straight-edge in high school haha. And I danced...I haven't really danced
in.
so.
long.
It was great. And then drunkenly ate tacos from the Taco Truck. I love the Taco Truck! I don't understand people who don't like food from a cart. It's ALLLL GOOOD!

Sunday I woke up with a mystery bruise on my knee. Apparently I fell over a raised manhole in the street, yelled at it "for being raised and not in the ground where it belongs" while I was on the phone with C (which is the only reason I know how I got the bruise!). Cops were in full force. We had heard rumors that they were going to be giving out mega-fines, like $6,000, for "drunk and disorderly conduct" (basically peeing in the street). My friend actually got a $2,000 fine for jaywalking!! And somehow I fell over a manhole in the middle of the main drag and got away with just a bruise- yay!

This Saturday we were supposed to be going to the Sleaside St. Patty's Day Parade, but it's cancelled due to rain :( So we're going to the South Philly one instead! I got my necklaces, and now just need a hat for C (I drunkenly lost his on Saturday- he didn't care, but I still feel bad. It was a cute hat!).

And tonight I'm heading out with my friend J to Girl's Night Out in NYC. It's basically a convention of make-up and shopping,...with free martinis/cosmos! Very excited- I've literally been waiting for a year to find someone who would go with me!

In terms of my goals for last week, I did hand in my insurance papers for work, and got my taxes in. My tax guy will be working on them today. Hooray! And I made another payment for the credit card, but won't fully pay it off til next week. I spent a little too much last weekend at the club ($40 entrance fee. I DON'T EVEN PAY THAT MUCH IN NYC!!! REDIC!), and wanted to have a little cushion in case this weekend gets crazy too! I'm very happy that C will be joiing me this week though (last weekend he had to work on Sat...boo).

Ok, time to buckle down and get to work! I'll leave you with something to get you through the day...yummmm....

Currently listening to: My Hands- Leona Lewis

Getting to Know You Sunday

1. Are you more of a talker or a listener?

If I know people, talker. If I'm around new people, much more of a listener.
2. Bra. Underwire or wireless?
Definitely wireless. I've been in too many situations where I've been poked by wire. Plus, I'm small enough where it doesn't matter.

3. I wish I was.....?
"a little bit taller...I wish I was a balla...wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her..."

4. The Academy Awards are on tonight... will you watch?
Probably not.
5. Do you put your deodorant on before or after you get dressed?
After so I don't get it on my clothes!
6. Would you rather do the dishes or clean toilets?
Actually cleaning the toilet is a lot faster. I don't really mind it.

7. How much did you weigh at birth?
Hmmm somewhere between 7 and 8lbs.
8. If you could only buy one thing for the Spring/Summer season...what would it be?
Bathing suit. I like getting a new one every year.

Pieces of Me March

Taken from Toothfairy's blog:


This game is to share a piece of you, every month. That way, you and your readers can see what's happening in your life, including the changes. I.E. one month, you might love chocolate, a few months later you've might come to hate it. It's also to remind ourselves of people you love and the plans you have.

I like: that it's finally light out when I'm leaving work!

I don't like: that NJ Transit is hiking up fares by 25% and decreasing the number of trains/buses running

I want you to know:  that I have a mystery bruise on my knee

I've planned: to pay off my credit card this month

I want to say to someone special: thanks for picking me up at 2am in Hamilton...twice...i looooooooovvveee youuuu!

3-2-10

I just realized how that would have been a great title 2 days ago.

oh well.

Today was a productive and non-boring day at work.
Spent the morning going through boxes of papers to decide if they could be shredded or not. Then I cut my finger (papercut..owiiie) so I stopped. Went outside for a little bit, ate lunch, then went to ShopRite (yes, for work). Came back, put stuff away, and spent the last 1 1/2 wrapping presents while listening to my Ipod.

Whooo!

And now, off to my free open bar with my buddy! Ciao!

SVU Cliffhanger!

...I don't really mind cliffhangers.

What I mind is when the next new episode DOES NOT CONTINUE TO ANSWER THE CLIFFHANGER! If that makes sense. I'm not going to go into details in case anyone who reads this missed Law & Order SVU and actually wanted to see what happens. Just know...cliffhanger!

Speaking of TV...

Jersey Shore is all over George Lopez this week. I.LOVE.IT!

Jay Leno just blatantly stole the exact same joke George Lopez did last night regarding a morning news broadcasters looking like asses while playing Wii Curling.

That's so lame. C'mon Jay, be original.

Seriously,...why is curling an Olympic sport?? This is the first time I think I've ever actually seen curling...and I saw A LOT of curling this Olympic season. I mean, I understand how to win,...but who decides "Hmm I'm going to give up being a ridiculously good ice skater and become a "Pro Curler". WTH?!

I was REALLY EXCITED to see Nelly Furtado to perform in the Opening Ceremony. She is my favorite favorite singer. No, I am not being sarcastic at all. I had a "Nelly Wall" when I lived at home...details on that coming probably never...unless someone asks...

I am really excited to see Chad Ochocinco on Dancing with the Stars!

I have more TV to talk about, but JERSEY SHORE IS ON JAY LENO!
[I'm such an addict. I know. And I apologize]

TMI #171 & Post It Note Tuesday!

TMI Tuesday #171 -Movie Edition

1. What was the last movie you saw in a theater?

Avatar...IMAX 3D!

2. What is your favorite movie theater snack?

Buncha Crunch or peanut M&Ms

3. Have you ever snuck in 'outside' food into a theater?

Yes, I almost always sneak food/ drink in- why pay $5 for a candy that you can buy down the street for $1? Actually during Avatar not only did we sneak in candy, but also beer! The beauty of having a big purse!

4. Have you ever made out in a theater?

Yup

5. What is the 'farthest' you have gone in a theater?

Oral...best. movie. ever!

I am totally sucking at NaBloPoMo already. Darn it.

However, I DID find out that I've passed the probationary 3-month mark at my new(ish) job and can now finally get health/dental insurance and pre-tax commuter card! WHOOOO!

Also, I called to find out the balance on my credit card...totally do-able with this upcoming paycheck!

And, I have been looking into my tax paperwork. I don't understand it all, which gets frustrating, but from what I can see I may be able to apply for 2 different kinds of rebates, which would be freakin sweet!

Just realizing what I've accomplished already this week makes me a little giddy. I'm sure I can reach (most of) those weekly goals. The tax one I am going to *try* to complete, but my tax guy lives kind of far, and if I have to go see him instead of just phone calls and faxes, it may not be feasible to do afterwork,...but Sunday still counts as this week right?!?

Getting to Know You

Another "Getting to Know You" Sunday from Keely!

To play..Grab the questions..copy them..answer them..then come back here and link on up..

The questions..

1. Would you rather bungee jump or sky dive?
Sky Dive...bungee jumping seems more painful with that whiplash thing...but I really want to go sky diving!

2. When using a public restroom to you squat over the seat or sit?
Depends where I am, usually I only hover when it's REALLY gross looking

3. Favorite flower?
Lillies

4. Pedicure or manicure?
I've never had a pedicure, so I'd have to say manicure

5. How many siblings do you have?
0

6. Do you pee in the shower? (gasp!)
I usually try to go before I get in the shower, but i have...

7. Bikini, tankini, or one piece?
Bikini alllll the way

Hmmm I don't think I go anywhere I hate to shop
------------------------------------------------------------

I have been trying to watch the same Law and Order SVU episode for about and hour and a half!

I knocked off another one of my 101 in 1001: I got a MAJOR haircut and color! Cut off abut 8 inches, and got a "glaze" which basically makes your hair extra shiny for about 6 weeks, and got it colored in a deep red- i love it. My hair is very thick and somewhat frizzy, and it was getting unmanageable- even with a new Chi straightener it would take about 2 hours to do my hair- waaaay too long. But now it's shorter and just easier to manage...sooo happy!

Next week I'm going to try to find out how much I owe on one of my credit cards and hopefully pay it off with this week's paycheck--that would be awesome! *fingers crossed!* Also, thanks to some coupon sites/blogs I've been following, and i was able to save $40 in groceries last week!!! Crazy!
