1. When you love someone you don't understand why every other person on the universe doesn't see how ridiculously awesome they are
2. Which is better - an XBox or a Wii?
Thinking of selling the Will and putting the Xbox on the xmas list.
Williamsburg seemed empty due to the weather. We were lucky enough to hit one dance party but the bars were closed. Who knew that we would actually get 6 inches before Halloween?
The bright side is today was a work "snow" day. And tomorrow might be another. They even had to turn off the servers because with no electricity they can't run the fans.
Halloween pics.
The Frankenstein costume was handmade - if you haven't seen Deathrace you should.

Here we go!

It seems like the Northeast is having less and less actual seasons.
In other news I am biting my tongue so hard it may come off.
Every morning I wake with a heart full of hope.
I truly believe this will be the day my life will change.
The day goes on and nothing happens, nothing changes.
I go home and pray again.
Only to wake up the next day full of hope - just to be disappointed again.
They can rock can't they?
It is amazing how 2.5 days off (yay summer fridays) can make a difference in your attitude.
Very relaxing, very fun.
I am a huge board game player. And I love having a small group of friends (though they live an hour away) that love games as much as me. So, there was much game playing - apples to apples, mille borne, right, left, center, and Pit. I did not win one game of Pit. Though I came close a few times.
When I go camping with these folks I eat better than I do at home. Dinners consisted of items such as Red Wine marinated sirloin tips with a demi glaze sauce, cedar plank salmon with capers and lemon, and strawberry shortcake with whipped cream whipped at the campsite.
The only downside is there was a group with like 9 kids under the age of 3. So they woke up at butt crack of dawn. But one reminder it was quiet hours and all was well.

The stick God - you can see the many sticks he brought to the pup behind them

Focusing on negative for too long can only continue to breed negativity.
Here in the Northeast we have been blessed with amazing weather this week. Summer has finally arrived, which I think we are all thankful for after having an icy, snowy downright miserable winter.
Tonight I am getting my first Laser Hair Removal on the ole armpits.
I have to say I am a bit apprehensive about it. Everywhere else has been fine - but this seems like it might hurt. Everyone who has gotten tattoos there says it is pretty tough.
I am also thankful for the 180 degree change in my summer this year from last and for the amazing recovery I have seen with my mom. I just need a few last things to change before the end of July - in order for my world to fully recover and come back to what it was a little over a year ago. I am hoping that by September everything is right again.
ETA: This isn't about one person on this site - there was a bunch of people who were complete jackasses. I feel bad that one person is getting the brunt - because they didn't act alone.
Anyways I don't want this to be a negative blog - just need to get that off my chest before I explode.
I get to spend the weekend with some actual good people from SG and that is exciting (not surprisingly most aren't active on here anymore).
Long day at a photo shoot today....exhausting really. Not mine but someone else's.
In addition since I haven't had time to exercise I am doing strong portion control. Not the way I want to lose weight, but until I can get back into the gym it will have to be.
I am little embarrassed with myself because I got sucked into the Glee Project. A show I thought was really a stupid idea capitalising on what they can when they can. But god damn it, now I like it. It's embarrassing. And I kinda can't believe I admitted it.
So I understand they have the final shuttle launch scheduled, and I believe that is because they cut costs in the space programs.
So my question, in all honesty is...................does this mean kids can't grow up to be astronauts anymore?
The pity party continues............so now I am in that horrible sick phase of too sick to go out or to drink or to see folks, but healthy enough to get bored.
Hopefully by tomorrow I will be up and running.
I mean really who gets sick on a long holiday weekend?
I guess this guy.
Note to self - this is the second time in 5 years I got sick on the 4th of July - do not make vacation plans for this week.
