tomorrow

tomorrow i work at the PA office of my company.. i am excited, i love change!

we were so productive today, after RHs game we walked the dogs, saw a hawk of some sort swoop through a tree grabbing a squirrel out of a nest high in a tree and fly it to a nearby house and pin it between its claws and the roof. later we walked back by it and saw it eating the squirrel. it was crazy!!

after walking the dogs we went to the groc store.. i like their store, the GIANT. i am sure i will be back later this week sometime. :) then E made lasagna, garlic bread and we had salad. i've had most of a bottle of wine while i read the new people. there is a scratch and sniff MP page.. i highly recommend it. :)

tues night my roomates come into town... wed the H's come in, and thursday is the big day!

i spoke to my friend AP today about this weekend... she is coming to the show with us on saturday. she is going to be sad cause her and her BF are breaking up and he is leaving for CA on saturday. :( but if i know AP, she will not let that get her down.

observations from PA

gas is crazy cheap here, makes me mad at myself for filling up in binghamton. i saw some for 1.82 yesterday.

i called around to have my snow tires (which i brought) switched with my real tires, and monro muffler will do it for $18 a tire. shiiiiiit. so i went to BJs and the guy told me he could do it on the side for $50 cash. sold! he had diamond earrings so big you would have thought he was a pro-football player.

we took patti with us to the dry run to my work, and BJs.. the tires too a long time so we had to speed across town to RHs football game and p-head puked in the backseat. wtf, patti.

we made it in time to see RH score a touchdown though.

EH is making lasagna tonight, and we are going to make moroccan tagine tomorrow..

tonight is the AMAs with jimmy kimmel. should be good. i hope i can stay awake that long. last night i fell asleep at 830pm. :)

audrey is so cute, she is so vocal.. she makes this sort of high pitched sighing noise pretty much non-stop... and she loves when you snort at her like a piggy..

it's a good day -- well , it was a good day.

only 1 more day till the shit machines are gone! oh how i will not miss the smelly couch blankets, the snoring, the pissing and pooping in the entry way.. ahh. heaven, even if i'll only be able to enjoy it for a short while...

i just read this and am soooo sad, wtf. i love eli stone.

i realized i need to bring with me 3 laptops this week... that's a little ridiculous... 2 for work, and 1 for my itunes. my trunk is basically full of computers. i'm screwed if i get in an accident. Well, I spoke too soon. In the middle of this blog my personal computer *died*. This is a horrible thing to happen.

not to mention 8 days worth of clothes. shiiiiit

i bought snow tires today.. it was a deal i can't refuse... $50 a tire. and they are no flat.. which mike told me means i can run over a nail, drive 80 miles and hour and the tire won't go flat. plus they are coming off a mini cooper.. another reason i couldn't resist.

I'm finishing this blog on my iPod, crossing by fingers that if I let my laptop have the night off it will magically work tomorrow.

pineapples hurt.

i bought a real pineapple the other day and cut a slice off today so the fruit flys wouldn't eat all of it. it was so delicious and sweet, much sweeter than any canned pineapple.. but it cut my lips up something fierce. i am bleeding all around, my tongue feels like i drank soup that was too hot, or a licked a hot iron. its kind of awful. i think next time i eat the pineapple i will cut the fruit off the outside.

so thanks to ACH i went to a different insurance company and now my car insurance will be more like $90/month. thats like $50/month savings.. that's groceries! :)

i have a lot of things to do before i go to PA on saturday for the week and then NYC next weekend.

cath is giving away the bedroom furniture that i am using. so i need to pack up my bedroom then physically move the shit so she can deliver it to SH... all before i go away for a week. lovely.

i'm kind of excited to work out of a new office next week. it'll be fun.

i bought myself a printer from the woot off today.. i'm also very excited about it.

am i overpaying for car insurance?

i pay $145 a month.. i have a new car that i am financing, and i got a speeding in a workzone ticket in July '07..

i just heard that two people i know pay less than $80 a month for car insurance and in one case that is for 2 people and 2 cars..

what do you people pay? i think i am getting ripped off..

weeds

i've been inspired to watch weeds lately.. great show... cath even got sucked in. i'm midway through the 2nd season.. the theme song for this season is sung by a different artist each time.

speaking about weeds, cath had "only 3 " glasses of wine before we went to blockbuster to get the next two discs. cath was more than loopy in the store and didn't realize that the boy behind the counter prob thought she was high. we had a good laugh about it in the pkg lot.

we went to the home inspection this morning.. there were a few things that we want the sellers to fix. hopefully i'l hear tomorrow what they decide..

we had fun looking at the house and imagining where to put my yet to be bought furniture.

since the great purge of belongings before i left MA leaves me with little to nothing... this is what i think i have...

my bed
my fold up computer table
my wheely desk chair
kitchen stuff
a TV, VCR and DVD player
a small bookshelf that will double as a night stand
an oval end table of sorts
a black wood chair
4 wooden tv stands
cath is giving me the crappy dresser that is leftover after she gives sarah the nice set
a sewing machine
1 desk lamp
1 tall lamp
a treadmill
an air mattress
another small book shelf
a coat tree

i'm going to need to hit up craigslist for some modern furniture... and IKEA and the raymor and flanigan scratch and dent.

i'm excited to finally get to use all my pampered chef purchases from almost 2 years ago that i have never opened.

i'm also excited to have a clean organized fridge...woo who!

another item i need to buy tout suite is a snow blower.... my driveway is not too wide, so i am going to need to make sure i keep it snowblowed.


here is the pic of my desk that i promised. i had to cobble together 3 pictures... obviously.
