adding to the blog

ok, i was able to repost to the blog. that is a miracle. have tara go to the bogger icon in the left hand corner (orange) and clic, enter her name and password and she should get to post to your blog. clic on the green PLUS sign and add her post. if i can do it, she can.
yes the wine tour was so much fun, i loved LK's interpretation of it, and i guess she missed out on a lot having sisters so close in age. oh the drama. arent we all miserable bitches??????
anyway i had a blast and hanging with peg and mike was a highlight. thanks peg and mike for inviting us all.

yay! its friday!

i'm so excited it friday... last night watching the red sox game was very stressful.. i'm getting those ridiculously tense feelings. that sick to my stomach, i can't watch anymore feelings.

tonight is the first game in the last series of the season... and its against the yankees. :( stress..

i'm getting a manicure/pedicure tonight then i might have dinner with KT and her roommate and watch the game somewhere.

i'll be so excited when the wedding is over tomorrow.

LK and i are having people over for wine sat night. good times.

CSI was good last night. love that warrick brown. i hope they show his wife soon.

whoa!!!

my trusty google desktop is telling me that fayetteville is 20 degrees cooler then we are right now. holy crap. then i just read this story, and power is out all over CNY, shiiiiiiit.

the corpse bride was kinda cute. it was short 1.5 hours... the night to go to the movies is wed night. it was dead. so awesome, and the pretzel nuggets were fresh out of the oven. apparently katie had never had them before, you would have thought someone gave her crack. she must have said about 35 times how much she loved the pretzels.

tonight is my companies dinner at the top of the hub. i'm not allowed to go, but jen and LK are going. :( so jealous. i haven't heard anything abt the bachelorette party, so i think i am just going to end up watching survivor and eating popcorn. and csi.

i had my eyebrows waxed at lunch today cause when i tried to go last night the 3 nail salons i went to near katies house couldn't do it. and right before i went into the first one i got a real urgency to go to the bathroom (if you know what i mean), but they didn't have waxing, so i hobbled across the street to the 2nd place, nada, at this point i'm seriously considering going #2 behind someones car on mass ave in arlington. it just wasn't going to wait, it was burning its way out! luckily the movie theater was kind enough to let me go there, they must have seen the beads of sweat running down my face and the terror in my eyes...

***update***
i forgot to mention my latest "neighbor" story...

i was awoken last night at 230 to the neighbors yelling at each other about cigarettes. from what i can tell there is a woman and her son that live next door, maybe a girl too, but she may just be a girlfriend of the son... so anyway, the son is demanding a cigarette from the mother, the mother is saying that she is not going to give "jeremy" her last cigarette, then she tells him to go to bed. he says he's not going until he gets a cigarette. then he says, "and don't wake me up tomorrow". she claims she's going to. such trash these people are.

wtf!!!! why are they up at 230 in the morning?

new stuff

i am liking my new phone more and more by the day.. the first thing that is so great about it is the voice dial. i have never had voice dial. but now i can just click a button, say a name and the phone starts dialing! the only drawback is that my voice doesn't register through my headset... so i have to detach the headset, start up the call, and reattach the headset. not that big a deal.

i also have a voice memo feature, which comes in so handy when i'm in the car and i think of something i want to blog or a song i want to add to my list of songs to download.

and the ring is much louder then my old phone. that was something that i always wished for my old phone. now i have it woooot!

i went to deposit a check and pick up my contacts at lunch today, and i got all the way to the eye dr's (in the 'ville) and they are closed on wed's.. wtf!

i am getting my eyebrows waxed tonight, and then KT and i are going to see corpse bride. i love the movie theater!

oh, tim and fran loved the gift. :)

shady neighbors

my bedroom window is about 10 feet from the front door of the house next door. i have grown somewhat used to people banging on the door of the house next door at all hours of the night. i can hear their phone ring, the toilet flush, the cat being called for, the television sometimes, the mom whining the son's name, (jeremy), and most annoying their alarm clock going off at 6am.

so this morning when i was getting ready for work in the 7 o clock hour there is banging on the door. i am pissed!! wtf??? so i hear the people knocking and knocking, and saying things like, "i think they are avoiding us"... its almost 8am now and i'm leaving for work, i walk out my door and to my car and one of the men (3 of them) in the street says, "miss brown...", i'm shocked that he knows my name. "we're with the somerville force, do you know this boy? does he live here? is he home, have you seen him?", he holds up a picture of a late teenaged boy.. it could be the kid next door, but it could be one of his punk friends. i tell him i'm not really sure what the kid next door looks like, but i know a boy lives there.

ugh. no wonder none of the houses on my block are selling...

i heard the boy and his friends out there tonight though, so apparently he's not in jail yet. :) i'll check the police report and see what i can find.

wine tour....

alright, alright, here is the blog abt the wine tour...

the tour was great. we hit 7 wineries in about 5 hours. we definitely had fun with each other, and met some intersting characters along the way. here is a little bit about each one...

"john".. john was a 50-60 year old man that "found" us at the first tasting. he took to calling me ruby begonia (attempting to guess what my initials stood for)there are some scary pictures of him in the photo album at the end of this posting.. he tried to make us go to the "swingers" house at the end of the tour. we declined!

"pam".. pam had bells palsy. i didn't even notice till i saw the pics. (i must have been drunker then i thought) she was the first woman in her 40's to take off her top. she also "couldn't wait till her kids were old enough to drink with". (i could make a portville joke here, but i won't). cathy, and i hear will too, do a GREAT impression of her. there are some great pics of her in her green top simulating sex with the lady in purple, in the photo album.

"the swingers".. there was a rough older looking woman who got into the shirtless act, who invited us to go back to her house where she had "Plenty of room" for the whole bus of 45 people to stay there.

im sure there were others, but those are the ones that come to mind...

i bought abt 9 bottles of wine and they are just as good here in my house as they were in the winery... yummmmmmm. hanging out with peg and mike was soooo much fun too. i'm really hoping peg can go with us to vegas!

here are my pics, and emily has some good ones too, and peg has them posted with her run down on her blog...

so many things i love....

i was thinking in the shower this am that i LOVE aussie hair conditioner. no matter how tangly and ratty my hair feels when i'm done shampooing, the aussie conditioner gets it all out silky and smooth!

i also love to order things online and get them in the mail. my cd's arrived right on schedule this am... so nice!

i also love my new cell phone. although i prob won't recognize my new ring for a month or so, so be sure to leave messages. another thing i love about sprint in general is that they were able to transfer my phone book off my old phone into my new one, and the numbers that didn't make it, they printed out for me.

i also love my cubemate, he offered out of the blue to get me lunch cause i was so stressing this am, then he went and got it and everything..

i also love dropping my laundry off at the laundromat so they can wash it while i work today. only $15 for 20 lbs of laundry. woot! what i am going to love more though, is the way they fold it, and hang my delicates.

then when i get home tonight, i am going to love some magic hat #9 for dinner, and love watching survivor and csi.
