wedding weekend

well, it's over. BreeD is a married woman. i had a really great time this weekend. i didn't realize how nice it was going to be to see jeremy again. i honestly don't remember the last time i saw him, it had to be in either college or as long ago as high school. it was really nice to spend so much time with him. he's one of those people i know that i can go years without seeing and fall right into place with.

another great part of the weekend was hanging out with alitza and kate so much. alitza is hysterical, i never really knew her at all in college, but i sincerely see myself going down to NYC to visit. at one point in the night, i was laughing so hard i was crying.

going to NYC was fun, the wedding was as sick as breeD had described. the cocktail hour was so extensive that i was too full to eat my dinner. then there was a salad course, and a sorbet course, and then the meal, then the lights went dim and the music came on, it was like a professional basketball game, and 8 rolling carts full of every dessert imaginable came out.. i had the creme brulee. sooo good.

i am really looking forward to resting this week and sticking around town this coming weekend. i have some relaxing to do.. and some movies to watch. :)

here are the pics i took...

we are the champions.

we are the smartest team ever!! this week we had a total of 9 people. we were on 2 teams. we shared answers and it payed off. we came in tied for 1st. with 2 other teams, so in total we won $40. god damn we are smart.

cath even made up a dance... (very similar to her "pee on the toilet seat dance")

pre-wedding stress...

i made a hair appt with foreign speaking theresa this afternoon. i hope she can do hair better than she can speak english.. the good thing is her shop is less than a mile form the hotel i am staying at for BDs wedding.. now i just need to find a hairstyle.. i think that my hair is really too long for hairstyling.. all the styles i see online are for much shorter hair.. :(

i bought a dress at target yesterday to wear to the rehearsal dinner. :) it's kinda cute.. i also bought this "reusable" sticker bra thing for cleavage.. i'm not sure how well it will work. it looks like clear tape with a bra clasp in it... i should try it out with the dress that i got back from the tailor and still haven't tried on..

i found out i need to be back in jersey by 430pm on saturday to make it to the rehearsal. so i've got to make myself out a do-able plan for NYC site-seeing in that short amt of time..

i'm kind of looking forward to being on call for two weekends in a row following this wedding.. i'll get some time to relax!

don't threaten me with a good time.

okay, i've uploaded the pictures for all to see from this weekend.

some highlights...

EH refusing my help which allowed for my almost non stop viewing of VH1s rock of love, and scott baio show

going to SHs new house that is WAAAAYYY bigger than her old one, even bigger than EHs house

walking hundreds of miles to and from the italian festival and the bars

having pudge tell me that "if i need to hook up with someone, he's my guy"

watching cath smell chads jacket all night

making everyone pose with their best BJ faces for my camera

wondering what the F is going on when all of a sudden everyone is crying

one more wedding....

this weekend is the last one of the season for me.. i can't wait! it's going to be so fun to see everyone this weekend. i need to touch base with mr marble to see how his iron man went and see if he wants to tour around NYC with me on saturday.

just when i see the weddings coming to a close (i really don't know that many single people anymore) now come the baby showers. i know at least 3 people that are with child at this very moment.. :)

i have a bunch of pictures to upload from this weekend. good times... so good i needed more gatorade this morning..

UP is coming to visit today. but i wonder if he will make it.. there has been bad weather brewing in NJ all day so far. and it's headed up here...

so mad!!

***UPDATE*** i returned that cup of iced coffee and watched him pour an iced tea, but it still has coffee taste in it. and, it must be coffee because i have not drunk even half of the cup and i am physically jittery. i feel like bevis and butthead. i strongly discourage anyone from getting a dinkin donuts iced tea, they suck.

i stopped by dunkin donuts this morning to get an iced tea that i keep seeing advertised all over the place. how good does a raspberry iced tea with vanilla flavoring sound? i ordered a large, which btw, it WAAAAAY to big. and i have been so busy this morning that i'm just getting to take a sip of it right now 1.5 hours into my workday.. well.... it's iced coffee.. i am so mad that i think i am going to take it back at lunch. i HATE coffee. ugh.

happiness

tonight i am having dinner with the fischers, then SF and i are going to watch Happiness. PF can't handle it apparently. it's been so long since i first saw this movie, but i believe it was very disturbing in that Todd Solondz kind of way.. it's one of those movies that you watch in horror, wincing but with raised eyebrows... but i really believe that everyone should watch it at least once. SF's such a trooper, PF, not so much. :)

***addedum*** PF watched the movie too. i think it's one of his new favorites.

this weekend i am going out to the lovely portville to help E and RH clean the clutter out of their house so that it sells when they put it on the market.. i have a feeling that it's going to be a battle the whole way through like it was when i helped cath and mike clean out their basement.

this weekend is also the "italian fest".. last year it was fun but so hot!! if i recall correctly a certain "studley" was working the beer truck and hooking us up with free beers most of the night.. good times!!
