Stuffing. And pumpkin pie.

2. Are you a host or a guest for Thanksgiving this year?
Guest every year, and definitely like it that way!

3. When you think of one Thanksgiving tradition, what comes to mind?
In general, I think of men watching football. For me, it's going to the movies with my mom and watching like, 3 at a time, sneaking in obviously! We didn't get a chance to do that this year though.

Sunday Stealing: Questions a la Randomness, A Meme

Cheers to all of us thieves!

What was the last thing you put in your mouth?
Coffee.

Can you play Guitar Hero?
Haha, I have, but I wouldn't say I did it well!

How late did you stay up last night and why?
11:30. I was tired before that, but was fighting sleep to watch the end of When in Rome. Such a cute movie.

If you could move somewhere else, would you?
Yes!! I would move closer to work! Not very exciting, but it's such a fun town, and close to NYC, not to mention saving myself massive amounts of money and stress with no commuting!

Have you ever been kissed under fireworks?
Yes! But not in recent years because at the usual Fourth of July Jimmy-Jam, C is one of the one's setting off the fireworks. Men!

Do you believe ex’s can be friends?
Not if they were in love. Or maybe so, but not for a really long time. Still testing that one out.

When was the last time you cried really hard?
Errrmmm... I really can't remember, which I would say is a good thing!

What items could you not go without during the day?
Coffee, my cell phone, my ipod, money or my ATM card, my driver's license (form of ID is always important, never know what's gonna happen!),... I think that's it.

Who was the last person you visited in the hospital?
I think my grandpa.

How do you feel about your life right now?
It's ok. I really need to start moving forward though. I've been a bit stagnant lately, and I need to begin re-focusing my goals and setting up a plan to reach them. But in general I'm happy.

If we were to look in your facebook inbox, what would we find?
Lots of unread messages and approx. 3 pokes. I've had a poke-war with these people for years-  I'm not gonna give in first!

Say you were given a drug test right now, would you pass?
For sure. I don't do drugs...unless you count alcohol.

Has anyone ever called you perfect before?
Yes, but I was able to prove them wrong.

What song is stuck in your head?
"If It's Love" by Train. I love it- it's been on replay on my ipod a lot lately, even though it's not very new anymore.

Someone knocks on your window at 2:00 a.m.: who do you want it to be?
"Ed McMahon"- good answer! I can't think of anyone else I'd want knocking at my window at 2 AM unless C isn't with me.

Do you think too much or too little?
I think too much about things of too little importance.

Where are your feet right now?
In crew socks, in fuzzy slippers, tucked under my chair.

Do you believe in fairy tales?
No, but I like them. I'm a huge fan of happy endings.

Have you ever licked the back of a CD to try to get it to work?
Yes. I've also tried blowing on it Nintendo-style!

Do you like pickles?
Not in the least.

What’s the largest age difference between yourself and someone you’ve dated?
6 or 7 years. My mom was not too pleased with that one.

Have you ever been on a blind date?
Nope.

Do you have any friends that you’ve known for 10 years or more?
Yes, but just a few.

Are you a good tipper?
I give the standard if they do a good job. If not, than they definitely see it in the tip (or lack thereof!).

What’s the most you have spent for a haircut?
Somewhere around $150. I have to say it was well worth it though, and if I had that much I would surely do it again, or at least at the same place.

Have you ever had a crush on a teacher?
I have a crush on a teacher now (Hi, C!) ! Other than him, no.

What song do you want played at your funeral?
"I'm Like A Bird" by Nelly Furtado and "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston. I actually have a list. A bit morbid, perhaps. But whatevs, it's my funeral, I want it done right!

Would you tell your parents if you were gay?
Yes. I had a friend who didn't for years, and though it almost killed his dad, they were able to work it out. I can't imagine not loving your child just because of his/her sexual orientation. Plus, I wouldn't want to live a lie. We should be free to love whoever we want.

What would your last meal be before getting executed?
Thanksgiving. I want turkey, mashed potatoes (sweet or regular), gravy, cranberry sauce, mac and cheese, stuffing, green beans, (to name some parts) and finishing off with pumpkin pie. It is my fave meal, but just slightly above chicken parm. If they're gonna give my some dry-ass turkey, then just give me the chicken parm.

Do you walk around the house naked?
I have, but not all the time.

What do you do as soon as you walk in the house?
Put down whatever I'm carry.

Who is the person you can count on the most?
C. Without question. My mom is good, but she's not very dependable.

What did you dream last night?
I don’t remember.

Have you ever been in love?
Yup, I'm in love now!

Do you sing in the shower?
Occasionally. I used to sing a lot more when I was younger. But then came college- you can't sing in the shower in the dorms without everyone thinking you're a freak. Now I occasionally do it if C isn't home!

What is your favorite Holiday?
My birthday. It should be a national holiday. Other than that one,  I think New Year's Eve/Day. A time f new beginnings.

Would you ever get plastic surgery?
I don't think so. I would love some new boobs, but I can't handle pain.

Have you ever caught a fish?
I have!! Nothing big, but definitely have gone fishing and caught several fish!

What is your favorite lunch meat?
Turkey.

Do you still have your tonsils?
Yes

What is your favorite cereal?
Coco Krispies

Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
Not usually.

What is your favorite ice cream?
Chocolate chip mint, followed closely by pumpkin pie and ice cream cake flavored ice cream (it's got the crunchies in it!)

What is the first thing you notice about people?
Height? If they are closer, then eyes and/or smile.

What is the farthest you’ve been from home?
I don't know what's farther, Hawaii, or the top of (one of the) Alps in Switzerland. One of those.

How did you meet your spouse or significant other (or most recent one)?
Through mutual friends.

Where was the last place you drove (other than home/school/work)?
I haven't driven in years. I think the very last time was moving my car across the street for parking purposes.

Tunery Tuesday: Florence and the Machine- Dog Days Are Over

I can't believe it's Tuesday already!! AAAAHHH!!
Though yesterday was super busy, I was actually quite successful. I had a meeting with (one of) my boss(es), and it went well! FOR ONCE! Halle-freakin-juah! See, he put me on the new task force he created recently, and he has been such a damn PITA about every little thing...it's super annoying. Like, I can't make any decisions without checking with him first- he likes micro-management. I hate it. But whatever, it's his project and I agreed to work on it- hell, I was excited to start a new project, so I can't really complain though I totally will.

Then at night C and I went to our friend's place to watch the Eagles vs. Redskins...ya know, McNabb vs. Vick. HOLY SMOKES!!! I wasn't really interested in football at all until I joined an all-girls fantasy league and even now I'm not that into it but anyway. So anyway, I have Vick on my fantasy team, and he blew up last night! He scored me an extra 46 points!!!!  Not to mention I was already beating the girl I was up against by the end of Sunday night by 45 points! She didn't stand a chance! I hope the Eagles can do it again next week against the Giants!!

Anywho, without further ado, I give you 2 baby videos. They are SO. CUTE. And I am totally loving this song too- very upbeat and fun...I'm doing my chair dance a la the dancing baby!




And just for shits and giggles...Enjoy!

I'm a Maxx-inista!

Sorry for the grumpiness yesterday. I just don't understand why some people do what they do. Anyway, last night definitely got rid of any and all grumpiness-- my momma took me out shopping for my birthday! (Which isn't until next month, but I don't mind one bit!) Actually, she started working part time at the brand-spankin-new TJ Maxx at Columbus Circle in NYC, and she had discounts because it was the opening day of the store, and she said I could get whatever I want!

WHAAAT! Ummm suuuuure, thanks!

If there's one thing I don't mind doing with momma, it's shopping. Though she doesn't seem to understand my style at all anymore. She kept picking up these slutty less conservative pieces for me, like midriff baring shirts?? I guess I used to dress more...provocative...back in the day, but now I'm a working woman (wait....that sounds like the opposite of what I was trying to say...oh, whatever) with a long-term, steady boyfriend! Plus, I've simmered down a bit...ya know, living out in the sticks and all, and there's nowhere to where such nake-y pieces to anymore, and somewhere along the way I lost the interest to do so.

All in all, I only spent about $120. Not too shabby for about 5 sweaters and a pair of gor-ge-ous Guess heels that go absolutely perfectly with the little black dress I raved about on Wednesday! I've decided I'm going to wear that to my birthday dinner...which reminds me, I have to purchase it stat before they're out of my size!

My fave (sweater) purchase:
Cotton and angora pullover, crew neck sweater with a detachable ribbed cowl neck.

Long sleeves, ribbed cuffs and hem, silver designer-embossed tag at side of hem.
Perfect piece for fall days, like today, and incredibly versatile. Wear this sweater three ways!
1. As shown above 2. As a crew neck pullover 3. Instead of a scarf, wear the cowl neck with any outfit

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




Hop on over to My Little Life to participate!

1. What is the most physically painful thing that has ever happened to you?

Hmmm... I've actually been very lucky *knock on wood*. I guess the worst was before I started taking BC. I would have to take off from work because I was doubled over in pain due to cramps, and sometimes even getting physically ill. Monthly.

2. How much sleep do you get at night?
about 7 hours, give or take about a half hour

3. How long did you believe in Santa Claus? How did you find out that he does not exist?
Wait...what?? He's not REAL?!? Ugh this is THE WORST way to find out!

4. What was the last movie you saw in a theater?
It may have been Eat Pray Love. I think. It's been awhile.

5. What do you wear to bed?
Nothin. *wink* But I lounge in sweats or yoga pants and a tee when I get home from work.
-----------------------------------------------------
Fun Fridays
Head on over to A Girl in Pearls and a Boy with Toys to participate!

I was planning on either staying in tonight or going to the movies with C (not that I even know what's out, but it sounded like a good idea), but then my good friend A invited us and another couple out for dinner- specifically Trenton Tomato Pie. I looooove tomato pie- it was actually one of me and C's first dates. If you've never heard of such a thing, which wouldn't be so odd because I'd never heard of it and I'm from New Jersey, it is:

"Compared to every other kind of pizza, Trenton tomato pies are put together backwards. Cheese and toppings go on first. Only then comes the tomato sauce—seasoned, crushed plum tomatoes, to be precise—spooned on with the individual pizzamaker’s signature flair.

It wouldn’t be a true tomato pie if there was tomato sauce in every bite, as in a regular pizza. You don’t want sameness in every bite. You want the tomatoes to have a bit of bulk and gather themselves in little red hillocks on the pie.
...there is one name synonymous with Trenton pizza—specifically, tomato pie—it is DeLorenzo." -from here.

So tonight we are going to DeLorenzo's! Woot woot!
Tomorrow C has to teach Saturday school half day, and then we need to run some errands, and do some of the basic straightening up/clean up, because on Sunday we have his cousin's kid's 4th (?) birthday party.

What are your weekend plans? Happy Weekend!
