Back at Work

Yesterday was Yom Kippur and I was home attoning for my sins....it took a while.


I'm back.

Ok so as you know i got a new hdtv. I think that the shows were never meant to be seen that large because all the actors, athletes, and politicians look crazy upclose and i can see every wrinkle and blemish. It just begs for me to nit pick at everyone's image. Like palin's fake hair, bidens odd teeth, mike lowell's neck stubble, blair waldorf's pimples.

Its all pretty funny though, and makes me feel good about myself

New Restaurant

Last night Annie and I decided to try the new Italian restaurant in courthouse. A couple months ago it replaced my favorite local falafel shop. Courthouse Bistro.

We decided it was cold out so we should sit inside...it smelled so bad inside that we changed our minds and ate outside.

They were so excited to have customers that like 10 people set up our table (not a good sign), then they brought out the bread and bread plates. The plates were so dirty that our napkins actually turned black wiping them off. The bread itself was extremely stale.

Then the waiter came out and was kinda sleezy. He kept pressuring us to order and was annoying saying things like "how much time do you need? 5min? 10 min? what?" GO AWAY.

The meal itself was fine, it was just something i could make at home, and frankly mine would be better.

So the restaurant gets bad reviews, but at least I had good company!

Odd Pairings

Last night I had to laugh at myself as I sat infront of the TV watching the Redsox beat the Angels while I quilted. I thought it sums up my life pretty well. Super girly activities with not typically girl activities. I break all the rules and i'm ok with that :)

Also goooooooooooo sox! Honestly i wasnt sure they'd make it this far, so i'm pretty excited. I'm also excited they won by 11:29 last night so I could go to sleep at a decent hour.

Fun Weekend

Friday night mike becky and I tried to go bowling, but after being told it was going to be a two hour wait, we decided to go to bar louie for the most random fun shots. Except the mint/apple/vanilla one...that was gross. I did have the best marshmallow martini. mmmmm

Sat was fun too b/c after sleeping all day, Emily and I went to a dc united/Chivas soccer/football game. It was a lot of fun and I got a new scarf out of it. United lost, but it was still fun.

Sunday was more sports. Julie, and I (with some of julie's friends) went to the Caps Bruins game, where the bruins won. yay!


So it was a busy and sports filled weekend. except the sox. I dont want to talk about that

Register

On a side note I realize i'm 26 and still have a giant crush on leo. its ok. Peter knows all about it. Leo is basically the only constant part of "my five". You'll probably hear about this again when he turns 34 in about a month :) I have a problem. I know.

Crazy Cars

So when I was in NC we rented a car from budget because it seemed like it would be the cheapest place.

First off let me say that my first plane got delayed, and left me 15 minutes to run through the charlotte airport to my second flight. So by the time i reached asheville i was just happy to be there. So when the budget car place told me it would be a while, i just didnt care.

After 2 minutes the budget guy changed his mind. "if you dont mind taking the car the last lady brought in without me cleaning it I can give it right to you"

What do I care, fine.

He prints up my order grabs the key and then says "i'm going to pretend you hurt your back and need me to bring the car around to you so I can go on a smoke break". Again, I could care less, but this way i dont have to find the car, whatever. he then added "its a chick car, you'll like it"

I go and stand at the car pick up, and this sporty silver little bullet comes racing by me, screeches to a halt, and then revs its engine, and quickly reverses to me. The doors fly open to blasting hot 99.5 type music with the base literally as high as it goes.

This Mitsubishi Eclipse was my car.

He packs me in the car and points out the sub woofers and v6 engine and warns me that it WILL get away from me.

Awesome. so this is north carolina.

Its only a month and 10 day

I knew this day was coming, but still i wasnt ready for it.

at 5am this morning i was woken up by the taxi calling to say it was here. Ready to take Peter to the airport so he can get to Siberia (wisconsin) for the next month and 10 days to campaign.

Its going to be hard from spending every moment of every day with someone for a year and a half, then spending a month and 10 days without them.

So if you are in the area and looking for something to do give me a call and entertain me.

I hate politics so much. I also hate wisconsin (but thats been in the works since my days in ft atkinson)
