today is a good day, so far.
let's see, rolled out of bed around 10.
ate pancakes around 10:30.
cleaned up the kitchen.
and now i'm here.
jasmine and carl spent the weekend moving out into their new apartment. yesterday i went over with my mom and together, we cleaned their kitchen. stove, fridge, cabinets - the works. and the whole time i was thinking "nice, i'm gonna go home and unpack my drawing table and all that crap and set it all up again in the basement, and put all my stuff into the second bathroom. organize the computer area... etc. sweet!"
but by the time i got home, all the energy i could muster was to read my new book, and eat dinner. bah.
oh! new progress on the seamus front : he takes REAL walks now! with alot of coaxing and leash tugging, but he's getting better. but this is really exciting for me for a few reasons, this means he's a real dog. haha, i had suspicions that he would never learn to act like a real dog. and he's walking on pavement which file his nails a bit... and they won't be so skin-tearingly sharp.
yeeow!
he still squats though... no leg-lifting to pee.
note: i have to get a tall adjustable stool for my drawing table. i hate these low chairs.
ok so i just lef tthis here on my screen fo about an hour and a half.
i'm back.
where did i go?
i showered.
anyway. what am i going to do with the rest of my day? i was considering taking seamus for a little ride in the car to princeton to see the flower station "agents."
i'm going over to tommy's around 7, but what to do till then?
i have to finish my skirt for the wedding so i can start on angelas dress. yikes. maybe i should do that?
it's just so nice out. i don't feel like cutting and sewing in my house. :(
i also considered taking seamus to roosevelt park to run around and lie in the shade of a tree.
he's outdoorsy like that.
or i could just sit here and putz around on the computer doing absolutely nothing.
i will probably finish my skirt.
i'm excited to see wisconsin.
have i already mentioned that?
i don't look forward to work tomorrow.
working for those people who have no idea how to run a flower shop.
yikes.
i would do better as an accountant than these people are doing as florists.
it's like, hey how about you get some flowers that look good? and "alive" would be a perk too.
thanks.
ok i'm out.
the light is bright and glares on white walls.

you've got a lure i can't deny
i'm pretty bored.
you know i'm bored when i'm actually posting... i'm either bored out of my mind, or feeling obligated.
i feel no obligations.
tonight is chris' party. it is currently 7:57
in two hours i will have a tommy in my hands, at my waist, on my lips...
whee!
then we go gangsta'
that is, if that's the theme.
and i think it'll just be me. cause tommy i don't think has the time to do the dressing thing.
i am listening to the postal service. give up.
mmm pretty.
ok so no theme tonight. i'm kinda happy about that.
k just boozin.
i smell eggplant.
so today i tried marking in th epattern for my skirt on the actual fabric and i said PSHH! shits too shifty and slippery and silky. annnnnd it's silk, sooooo that explains it.
anyway. i had to start over in muslin. damned muslin! smells like syrup. especially when you iron it.
so anyway. it's ok cause now it will come out better. i've got the front draped. now i just need the back and the waistband. i guess i'll be looking for waistband fabric on tuesday when i go with angela to ny.
now that my class is over, i find myself wanting to be in the city more. God there was a time when i would have left ny and never cared about going back. but now i miss it. :(
the piss, the bums, the cat callers and those damnable people handing out flyers. waving them in your face and slashing your corneas.
sweet.
i can't my darling i love you so!
i am having a very tommy-love day.
i can't wait till he gets here and looks at me like he does.
eggplant eating, puppy loving and skirt draping.
here i come!

i'm feeling lucky...
it's been a long time, been a long time...
i'll wear my badge: a vinyl sticker with big block letters aherent to my chest that tells your new friends i am a visitor here: i am not permanent.
yesterday was my last day of Art In New York summer class. woopteeDOO is all i have to say about that. i am so glad it's over. no more trekking my ass around the city in the sun and heat aquiring a headache within 15 minutes (and lasting all night).
my final assignment was a 3-5 page paper on a museum of my choice. i chose the Philadelphia museum of art. tommy and i went last thursday and it was uber-fun. we perused through their permanent collection - all the while i was trying to figure out what the hell i'm going to say in my paper. cause critiquing a museum isn't as easy or brainless as it sounds. cause the place is huge and it's hard to really focus and observe everything you should be, especially when you go in there, not knowing what the direction of the paper is. so i took lots of pictures which i ended up not even using in my presentation. i had planned on making slides, but it's a good thing i didn't i would have looked like such a geek - no one else had any visuals.
on the first day of class the professor handed out a sheet of museums to choose from or we could suggest one ourselves. so yesterday he went down the list as the order in which we would present. and since i suggested one myself, i had to go last! LAST! and i hated every minute of it. being last sucked cause everyone went over their 5 minutes so i was up there with everyone dying to get out of class. so i think it really had a negative effect on how i presented.
BUT i don't exactly care. that damn paper is overwith and i can actually start having a summer! which i am so excited for!
lots of stuff happening. where to start. little things first.
seamus is now three months and one week old. he weighs 12 lbs. he is getting alot better with the biting, but he's still pretty spazzy. he's only had about 5 humping episodes. and they were pretty mild. haha. gross.
ok now real news.
carl and jasmine are having a baby! whee! i am pretty damn excited about this actually. they will be very cute parents. it's still pretty weird for me to imagine carl having a baby... and being a dad. but i think it will suit him when the time comes. and needeless to say, jasmine will be a great mommy.
so they found an apartment in what i guess is considered edison. they start to move next week. i'm gonna be the only one left here. the last of the baby chickens. but i can start to set up a little work station for myself down here in the basement. i'll unpack my drawing table and all my crap and set it back up. it'll be nice to have a spot besides my room, again. and carl might be leaving the computer here and getting another one so that will buy me some time before i have to get my laptop.
SO!
oh! my nephew, michael, just turned four. FOUR! i can't believe he's 4 already!
today tommy and i are taking out dad's to a trenton thunder game. we got tickets for them for father's day. it's going to be a rizzo-mickelsen fusion! so trenton had better win cause they are the minor league yankees and both of out fathers are huge yankee fans. so it should be lots of fun :) iv'e been looking forwad to it. i AM looking forward to it... as i sit here, still in my pajamas, eating a toblerone bar and drinking coffee.
i am a picture of health.
chris is having a party of sorts at his house and it was supposed to be saturday but now it's moved to tomorrow. and since i've gotten really lazy lately, i cant remember if i'm working tomorrow. i think i am, until 8:30 and so it tommy so we'll see if we can make it. i don't see why not.
but apparently now the party is themed. so we may be dressing up... all of this, tommy has yet to find out.
and speaking of work, i am leaving the flower station. and while i'm going to be paid more at KaBloom, and do much more design work for weddings and such, i'm pretty upset about leaving. :( i really like the people i work with in princeton and anglea has been such a cool boss. i'm sure the people at kabloom will be nice too, they all seem like they are. i just hope i'm not working with a bunch of high-schoolers or 18 year olds. bah. so this weekend might just be my last weekend there. cause i should be starting at kabloom on the 6th, or so, of july.
i'm gonna cry!
i can't wait for the 4th. it's one of my favorite hilidays, but for some reason, it often ends up being shitty. last years was horrible. i was just so angry all night.
so then the 5th, angela and i are going into ny to fabric shop for the dress i'm making for her. i'm psyched to be making something that i know will come out great and that someone will actually wear. years of making pointless garments for class that only fit a dressform is just somehow unsatisfying. angela has a wedding back home in england in september so i have just about 2 months to finish it.
i'm also making a skirt to wear to tom's cousin john's wedding. and that's at the end of july so i really need to get working on that. it's looking good so far, it's draped already, mostly... yikes. i'm not the most focused when it comes to doing things for myself.
so that's about it.
i'm off.

one week
today is the one week mark of seamus coming home.
it feels like longer. is that a bad thing?
i've realised why i don't blog so much. there is no feed back. yeah sure comments, blah blah. but do i get any? barely! and you can call me an attention monger if you want, but it kind of irritates me to write out a whole blog entry and think, hm. i bet no one is gonna read that. some might argue that it's not the point of who and how many people are reading it, but to shit out all your thoughts. but then why keep one online? hm. also, i guess i feel like i'm just sitting here talking to myself which makes me think, i already know this stuff. and also, i bore myself so it's a pretty mundane task to be sitting here basically talking to myself, when myself bores me. gah!
but i write anyway.
cause i suppose that one day i'll want to look back on it and say "what a dweeb"
:)
and now you tell me that you're having my baby! i'll tell you that i'm happy if you want me to.
WHAM!
it's 10:25
tommy - are you awake, sweetness?
today was supposed to be a trip to philly for tommy and i but i don't know if it will be happening. my parents are cool with watching the puppy (cause they aren't nearly as neurotic about it as i am) but they have michael and gianna today for a few hours and i wouldn't want to leave them with the puppy too. it's a handful with everyone in the house and the puppy wanting to chew on everything and everyone. we'll see how they feel about it. but if not tommy and i will most likely be taking a little trip to the bamboo forest. which isn't really a forest. more like a whole lot of bamboo, grown in one spot with a trail going thru it. but it's a really awesome feeling being in there. it's really quiet and shady and calm. you don't feel like you are about 1.5 miles away from rt.1 traffic. plus it's always an amazing op for photos.
then i've got to get shoes to wear for the wedding, and a wedding gift. yikes! so even if we stay around here, we'll probably be out alot of the day.
maybe we'll take a trip to princeton and bring seamus to flower station!
maybe.
i have a picture pinned to my wall - an image of you and of me and we're laughing, we're loving it all.
thought: i wish i weren't so pale. where's the summer? where are my lazy mid-mornings of lyingon the beach? where's that bikini i have no right to wear? hmm.. i could use a new blankety-towely thing for sun-taking.
puppy feet!
puppy face!
i've got to finish laundry and take a shower and love baby doggie.
weather: abSOlutely PERfect.
i hear: the clash: train in the vein

fortunately, i've been busy.
it's 9:36 on Sunday morning - the beginning of day 4 with Seamus. I've been disoriented, nervous, scared, happy, elated, tired and nauseous for the past 72+ hours. being a new puppy-mama is scary stuff! or maybe i'm just neurotic and paranoid. i definitely find myself being over-protective and doting, but i can't really help it. this is one of the biggest things i've ever wanted and i'm supah cautious cause i want to do everything right.
i will make a seamus-erin log.
thursday - day 1:
i picked seamus up around 12:30. the breeder, Jane Streett ( i would reccomend her!) talked to me about seamus and all the new-puppy info i needed. according to her son, seamus was "the tank" of the litter... which is hard to beleive when you see him because he is just so small! he was licking my chin just about the whole time we were talking and most of the ride home. he took to me during this traumatic car ride, i guess just cause i was the one holding him, so now he looks to me for comfort ( and i want to melt. ) tommy came over around 2 and spent the rest of the day at my house, with me, staring at the dog. tommy took tons of great pictures. he slept most of the day and when he did wake up he was peeing and/or spazzing out. but usually only for a total of about 5 - 10 minutes at the most. he took to his crate almost immediately and he loves sleeping and playing in it. tom and i went out during one of his naps... we had to take advantage of some of seamus' sleeping spurts. i was apprehensive about the rest of the night when tom left - i was like "oh no, i'm all alone now. no one to hang out and deal with puppy spazziness with me!" lucky i had off on friday cause i got zero sleep thursday night.
friday - day 2 :
pretty steady sleep - pee - eat - sleep - pee - play schedule. he won't stop chewing on my sweatshirt, the carpet, the mat in his crate, towels and any other fabric-y surface he can get his little jaws around. so i went and got him a rope toy and a "chew-man" which is basically this fuzzy stuffed toy in the shape of a very stumpy littly man. so now he has 4,273,945 toys to chew on... and still wants my sweatshirt strings. :) jacky is down from mass. so she came over to see pup-master. she went NUTTY! i didn't think she could be that excited, but she was! (thanks jacky!) she loves him like she loves her right hand. which i guess should be alot. so as she was leaving she was standing at the door kissing his head saying good bye fr a good 5 minutes. :)
i had prior plans to go out with angela, amy, alex and adam from work because it was adams last day before he left for the spoleto music festival. so my parents kept an eye on seamus for a few hours when i went out. but the whole time i was thinking "i wonder what seamus is doing. i hope not pooping on the rug!"
cute point: my mom had him out on the front lawn ( which he virtually disappears into) and she was talking to our neighbors when a school bus driver stops her bus to say "is that a PUPPY! what kind is he! he is so cute!" seamus is officially stopping traffic. friday night sleeping wasn't so bad, he woe up twice and then for the morning, but i had to be at work at 9am. and not just regular work, but i was working at the somerset location. i've said it before and i'll say it again - i would rather have a bad case of mono than work at the somerset store. but i'll go into that later - you can count on it. and that's about it.
saturday -day 3:
seamus woke me up around 7:10 which is actually good. it was easier getting ready for work than usual. alarm clocks do nothing for me. but this guy - there's no avoiding the crying and whimpering. seamus, you're hired!
work at somerset just chomped at the "KILL ME" bit all day long. i worked with lindsey - who just might be the most patronizing, condesending piece of shit i've ever had the displeasure of working alog side of. actually, with the exception of one girl, linh, that works there, i'd say just about the whole lot of them are the biggest group of insolent jack-asses and it would be too soon if i never came in contact with them again! so that may be a tad harsh but i loathe them - and working yesterday made my spine CRAWL. especially when i was asked in the most sugary - sweet artificial tone to "be their best friend" and "go to mcdonalds to get their lunch?" and on the tip of my tounge was SKIP THE GOLDEN ARCHES AND TRY A SALAD, COW! this reqest was followed by "i can give you really easy directions how to get there" NOW. let's bring to the surface the tickling fact that this mcdonalds was about 2 miles down the road after making a left onto rt 27 (basically right out of our parking lot) and DRIVING STRAIGHT. so tell me, snotface - just what DIRECTIONS were you going to give me? but in actuality i replied "i think i can find it. being that i can drive straight down the road, thanks." and to ice the cake, the acrylic-tip nail whore asked me if the order she wrote down was easy enough to UNDERSTAND. who here thinks your narrator is not bright enough to read and say aloud - "number 2, large coke and fries. number 4 large coke and fries. medium milkshake and medium fries." ?????? anyone? so i said "oh sure i can understand it - i can READ you know." that girl was lucky i didn't whip a pair of clippers at her head during the grueling 8 hours i was there, doing nothing, pretending to work, since it was absolutely UN necessary for me to have covered that shift for them. never again. i'll lock myself in a closet before i go there again. they can kiss my bikini un-worthy ass!
so.
all that was just wiped away when i came home to see puppy-face. and soon after - tommy face! pup was sleeping and my parents were staying in so tommy and i took a quick trip to the mall to try and find something for me to wear to Jasmine's brother Rich's wedding that's on sunday. needless to say i found nothing after looking like a herb in everything i tried on. bah. we got some bubble tea and came home. of course seamus woke up when we were gone and we missed puppy play time.
oksana came over around 10:30 to see him but he was sleeping :( and oksana is too sweet - she brought over a bag of puppy goodies! two fabricy chew toys and a picture frame to frame his amazing little face in! and a mini hand sanitizer because Shhh - i am not 100% non-allergic to dogs. and i have to be really careful to wash my hands constantly.
so the night was like the past few - play and pee time in the wee hours of the morning. ( no pun intended )
so that brings be to today. sunday. day 4.
not much so far. so this is where i wrap it up. but not before making the most important point of all.
i baggered, begged and whined for a dog since i was about 6 or 7. non stop, and without giving up - especially around christmas and birthdays. and whats almost more important that having one is my parents allowing me to have one in the house. i couldn't be more grateful to them for making me the happiest 23yr old child on the east coast!
so. time to check up on the pup.
this is the longest post ever.
i will make a seamus-erin log.

i had prior plans to go out with angela, amy, alex and adam from work because it was adams last day before he left for the spoleto music festival. so my parents kept an eye on seamus for a few hours when i went out. but the whole time i was thinking "i wonder what seamus is doing. i hope not pooping on the rug!"
cute point: my mom had him out on the front lawn ( which he virtually disappears into) and she was talking to our neighbors when a school bus driver stops her bus to say "is that a PUPPY! what kind is he! he is so cute!" seamus is officially stopping traffic. friday night sleeping wasn't so bad, he woe up twice and then for the morning, but i had to be at work at 9am. and not just regular work, but i was working at the somerset location. i've said it before and i'll say it again - i would rather have a bad case of mono than work at the somerset store. but i'll go into that later - you can count on it. and that's about it.
saturday -day 3:
seamus woke me up around 7:10 which is actually good. it was easier getting ready for work than usual. alarm clocks do nothing for me. but this guy - there's no avoiding the crying and whimpering. seamus, you're hired!
work at somerset just chomped at the "KILL ME" bit all day long. i worked with lindsey - who just might be the most patronizing, condesending piece of shit i've ever had the displeasure of working alog side of. actually, with the exception of one girl, linh, that works there, i'd say just about the whole lot of them are the biggest group of insolent jack-asses and it would be too soon if i never came in contact with them again! so that may be a tad harsh but i loathe them - and working yesterday made my spine CRAWL. especially when i was asked in the most sugary - sweet artificial tone to "be their best friend" and "go to mcdonalds to get their lunch?" and on the tip of my tounge was SKIP THE GOLDEN ARCHES AND TRY A SALAD, COW! this reqest was followed by "i can give you really easy directions how to get there" NOW. let's bring to the surface the tickling fact that this mcdonalds was about 2 miles down the road after making a left onto rt 27 (basically right out of our parking lot) and DRIVING STRAIGHT. so tell me, snotface - just what DIRECTIONS were you going to give me? but in actuality i replied "i think i can find it. being that i can drive straight down the road, thanks." and to ice the cake, the acrylic-tip nail whore asked me if the order she wrote down was easy enough to UNDERSTAND. who here thinks your narrator is not bright enough to read and say aloud - "number 2, large coke and fries. number 4 large coke and fries. medium milkshake and medium fries." ?????? anyone? so i said "oh sure i can understand it - i can READ you know." that girl was lucky i didn't whip a pair of clippers at her head during the grueling 8 hours i was there, doing nothing, pretending to work, since it was absolutely UN necessary for me to have covered that shift for them. never again. i'll lock myself in a closet before i go there again. they can kiss my bikini un-worthy ass!
so.
all that was just wiped away when i came home to see puppy-face. and soon after - tommy face! pup was sleeping and my parents were staying in so tommy and i took a quick trip to the mall to try and find something for me to wear to Jasmine's brother Rich's wedding that's on sunday. needless to say i found nothing after looking like a herb in everything i tried on. bah. we got some bubble tea and came home. of course seamus woke up when we were gone and we missed puppy play time.
oksana came over around 10:30 to see him but he was sleeping :( and oksana is too sweet - she brought over a bag of puppy goodies! two fabricy chew toys and a picture frame to frame his amazing little face in! and a mini hand sanitizer because Shhh - i am not 100% non-allergic to dogs. and i have to be really careful to wash my hands constantly.
so the night was like the past few - play and pee time in the wee hours of the morning. ( no pun intended )
so that brings be to today. sunday. day 4.
not much so far. so this is where i wrap it up. but not before making the most important point of all.
i baggered, begged and whined for a dog since i was about 6 or 7. non stop, and without giving up - especially around christmas and birthdays. and whats almost more important that having one is my parents allowing me to have one in the house. i couldn't be more grateful to them for making me the happiest 23yr old child on the east coast!
so. time to check up on the pup.
this is the longest post ever.

tomorrow my life changes.
ok so the subject of this post sounds so foreboding and serious.
well it's not.
actually, it kind of is.
tomorrow Seamus comes home. and yes, my life will be much different, but in a great way! i have been having dreams about this puppy for the past week. i had one last night too.
and for the next few days i probably wont be having any dreams cause Seamus will be up whimpering all night... poor baby.
so today is Tommy's sister, Lauren's birthday! happy birthday Lauren!
what's on the DOCKETT for today? :
get my ass up and away from this computer screen.
finish some laundry.
get puppy food, few more toys and a puppy tag :)
trip to princeton, check out some dresses for the two weddings coming up.
(i wanted to go into the city today and fabric shop to make a dress, but i got up too late. Rich and Heather's wedding is on the 22nd so i don't have time for that. but i think i'll be making one for John and Amy's wedding. whee!)
meet tommy at work at "8:00 sharp!" to go out for Lauren's birthday.
i'm off
today it's: sunny and perfect
i hear: the flaming lips "the gash"

Seamus - a - cometh
look at this.
i mean just LOOK at it!
SO. that right there is the puppy i've waited my whole life for. well... since i knew the word "puppy." i don't really think anyone can FULLY understand just how much i've wanted this puppy. i've been BEGGING for YEARS and years and years. at one point, i even resorted to taping up pictures of puppies all around the house, hidden. so when my dad went to grab the shaving cream, hey there's a puppy! and when my mom went for the milk in the fridge - hey! a puppy face! i don't think it was until then that my parents realized just how serious i was about this puppy thing. and they thought "Christ, she's hiding dogs around the house. we'd better do something about this before her mental state begins to deteriorate."
I've been meaning to post on this subject ever since i put the deposit on my cutiepiepuppyface, but i've just been really busy. and if you know me well enough, you know that really means "i've just been too lazy."
actually, i just can't stand that noise it makes when my computer is trying to load the blogger sign-in page. i wrote an entry about that once. do you remember? should you even be reading this in the first place?
so we are half way through May 4th. which gives us 7and 1/2 more days until Seamus comes home.
and let me tell you - life doesn't get better than it is right now.
so, i've got to go get ready for class and eat some dinner.
but first i have to make note of some things my friends have said about my seamus-baby:
Jacky loves Seamus
this is jacky (3:56 PM): i dont know how to stop looking at that picture

thirty second flash visual
so it's QUARTER to one. i'm sitting here withe the weight of a presentation lifted from my shoulders!
well, that's what i SHOULD be saying! damnit! one group presented today for 45 minutes. that's including the teachers commentary and the morons inability to work the laptop.
so at least the paper is written and the powerpoint crap is done, so i CAN relax. i just still have to do the presentation. annoying.
so it's HOT today and i'm loving it! even though i'm in the freakin basement. at the computer. no where near fresh air. but that's alright.
bah screw this crap i'm gonna upload some pictures and then i'm off.
ta!
today: 80 and dee-lish!
i hear: Aesop Rock
this origami dream is beautiful but man those wings will never leave the ground without a feather and a lottery ticket now settle down.

ok so i've been working for about ONE HOUR AND TWO MINUTES.
i currently have three pages covering 3/4 of my research COMPLETE!
yay!
Carl is down here watching the lord of the rings, which is sure to be a distraction. but i'll manage.
my legs are numb.
so the aim here is to be finished by 11:30 but i'll be happy with 11:45. as long as i'm not in this basement, sitting in front of this computer at midnight.
cause i just don't have the patience.
back to work!

attentin deficit hyperac... what?
it is 9:44.
your narrator arived home from work at approximately 7:00. what has she been doing for the last two hours and 45 minutes? SHE COULDN'T TELL YOU. honestly.
i went to my sisters to borrow a few of her child psych books and we looked up some stuff ( thanks D! ) and then i came back, looked thru my research, outlined it and here i am.
so.
i planon keeping a little "ADHD Paper-Writing Log"
i always feel so lonely and cut off from the rest of the world when i am stuck writing papers. it helps to feel like i have some company.
so i will be checking in periodically and letting you - all of my faithful readers - take an un-censored glimpse into what it's like to be me, writing a paper.
scintillating isn't it!
well. i estimate a total of one and one half hours before i am done.
it's 9:52. GO!

ooh it's so good.
what you've lost and what you've given away are two different things.
it's about 4:07
nope, :08
and i've just finished my powerpoint presentation for child SIKE!
i mean... psych.
so now that the powerpoint crap is done, all i have to do is write the paper and that will be a BREEZE.
and i have work tomorrow at deux so i can spit that out before then. AND i'm free tomorrow night so i can finish it up after work too.
but tonight, TONIGHT my friends, is a tommy night.
we're gonna exchange steak. after dinner.
::cough::
anyway. my hands are hot. from this damned wacom tablet and all this typing i've been doing.
powerpoint knocked my computer on it's ass about 5 times while i was trying to get my shit done. that's part of the reason it took me 4 hours to do it. also because i was searching for pictures of little kids being goofy so i could include them in the presentation. i got some great ones of kids from like, the 70's making goofy faces and being bad. it's an ADHD paper so they fit right in.
BAH!
so on friday i thought, man, stuff sucks. and then saturday i was in a pretty foul mood - until i saw my niece and nephew. i walked in the house from what might have been the longest day of the flower station EVER, and gianna ran to me and hugged me and i melted. bad mood gone, instantly.
babies, man. what an effect.
so now i'm like, problems? what problems?
i am currently enrolled at FIT for the summer program. art in NY and painting will be mine! i will defeat them! like i defeat all my other classes.
so i went to register last wednesday and i got all nostalgic. i kinda miss the city - that cesspool that it is.
i was all done with my stuff - meeting with the registrar, registering and paying tuition and i thought, gee i don't wanna leave, i kinda like being back. ::sigh::
so that's good. cause if i were still in my hating manhattan phase, i'd really be dreading summer classes. but they only go for a month. then in the fall i'm done. one more art history, and a philosophy class - at FIT one day per week. couldn't be easier.
4:22 and i have about 1 hour before i have to leave for class. 2 1/2 more weeks, 5 of each class, and my ass is waving goodbye to county college.
i have only been there for one semester and i despise it. but it was better than commuting to FIT for the winter months.
i ordered a bikini from VS online and the bitches still haven't sent me the top. it was on backorder for a while. and here i sit, awaiting it's arrival. i couldn't be more eager for summer and bathing suit rights.
let's hear it for allergies! i've bee sniffling and waking up with a sore throat for two weeks already. my nose is all dry and i'm kleenex's #1 customer.
but anyway, i'm excited about a summer with tommy :)
mmm frisbee! and picnics! and park time! and nap time! and beach! and swimming! and trips! and oh my, what fun.
and summer at the flower station means my quaint job as a florist will finally be quaint again.
mmm erin's happy.
off to class!
weather: 75 and sunny!

you do, you do, you do.
i am having this problem right now where my feet feel nice and warm, but my hands are cold. and clammy.
gross.
anyway it is 11:23. in about 7 minutes i will get up and take a shower. that way i have exactly one hour to get ready and leave for work. i always do that - give myself one hour thinking it's enough.
it's not.
i think the reason i keep trying, though, is because one hour should be more than enough, so i have to figure out what i'm doing wrong. maybe when i get in the shower, i shouldn't just stand there for 7 minutes, with my face in the water, staring at the wall - daydreaming.
hm.
i will cut that out today and see how it goes.
why did i bother posting right now?
i already have to go.
weather: sunny (yay!) 53 degrees (boo!!)
saturday night - summer's here.
under clothes hands disappear.
buttons slip - they've gone stray.
with them thoughts have gone away -
too far to see from the back seat
where sleeping is the enemy.

whoopsie daisy
i kinda crapped out on that last post.
i got really bored out of nowhere and i left.
so where was i?
well let's start from the begining
once upon april 5th, an erin brought a tommy to hoboken to see two spectacular musical performances.
ahem. yeah so i brought tommy to see decibully and owen on tuesday. it was a surprise and i'm not that great with surprises so i was pretty excited when i was able to hide who it was that we were actually seeing until owen was on stage. and he said hey! thats owen! and his eyes lit up! and he loved it! and that's JUST what i was going for! but then the decibully surprise was ruined when he announced they were next. but that's alright - i was expecting that.
so i burned "sing out america" from tom a few weeks ago and i've listened to it and enjoyed it but seeing them live was an entirely different story. there are very few bands who's performances i'm blown away by and decibully is up there with them. i've really only raved about two shows - when i saw Before Braille and Cursive. the point is, if you like them even a tiny bit, and you have the chance to see them, GO. you'll LOVE them after.
so that was a great day. the weather was awesome so that made it even better. i got yet another "frank rizzo" comment from the nerd at the door - so now i can chalk that list up to a nice round 4,268 times that i've heard it - or some variation thereof. but i guess it comes with the territory of having that last name. the best i've ever heard was when i booked 5 tickets for the upright citizens brigade and the guy taking my reservations on the phone said "rizzo? for 5? what, are you bringing the rest of the pink ladies with you?" HA. funny, but i really don't appreciate the Grease remarks. that movie should be wiped from existence. i will not tolerate the association!
so. that brings us to wednesday.
i went to class in the morning, came home and watched the G monster for about two hours. dina came to pick her up and before they even left i was passed out, asleep on the living room couch. i was completely wiped out. i'd only grossed about 7 hours sleep in the two preceeding nights. so i slept till around 3ish, showered and went to italian class. went to tommy's after. we thought "hey it's really nice outside, let's go to the beach for a bit, and then go to the inkwell." right. the beach. i think we stood there for a total of 2 minutes before we decided it was not too bright of an idea since we were both pretty cold. (me more than tommy) so we just went to the inkwell.
and that was wednesday.
next up: thursday
thursday was lovely :) i woke up at a pretty decent time. surprisingly since there's no one around to wake me up lately. i had all these big plans to get my oil changed, go pay some bills, go to the food store and bring my car in to see what the screaming noise was from. and i planned to do this all before tom came over. BAH! instead i cleaned the house and got ready and by the time i was done it was 2:30 and tom was already over from his interview. so i already wrote about this yesterday. oil change, mall, auto place, and then cheesecake factory. yum. me and food, man, we're like this X and that meas tight. food and i have a strong bond. anyway. then we came home, laid around, listened to some music and watched freaks and geeks for the rest of the night. during which - surprise! i fell asleep! go figure.
FRIDAY. F-R-I-D-A-Y FRIDAY
tommy's first day at verizon. and he didn't like it all that much, but baby i swear you'd hate vonage WAY more!!!
anyway. i worked yesterday from 9-3. it was a pretty painless shift for the most part. tommy got out at 6:30 so i went over around 7:30. we went to the court jesterd for dinner, during which i got really ansy (sp?) and crampy (you know you wanted to hear it!) so when we got back i popped two alieve and we settled back for some more freaks and geeks. i am quite sad because we are coming to the end of the season. only 2 more episodes to watch. boooo.
and now here i am on saturday. thanks to my co-worker Amy, i have this lovely afternoon off. thank you amy!
so it's 4:49 and i'm showered but not primped. dressed but not presentable. what has your dear narrator done for the bulk of her day? cleaned her room. that's right. like a 10 year old. i've been stuck cleaning my room since 12. i had buttloads of laundry to do, and shit to get rid of and put away. so i've done it. pretty much. i switched out my summer clothes and packed away my sweaters and cold-weather clothes because i'm sick of looking at them. so this involved emptying out my drawers and trying to organize. took me forever. separate laundry, organize shoes, vaccuum, dust, wash sheets, replace sheets, purge and purify the sleeping space!!!
and i want to vomit knowing how nice it is outside since i've been inside all day. called freedman auto. they drove and drove and drove my car (so they say) and they heard nothing. yeah well. so they closed about two hours ago so i have to go pick up the ol saturnbaby when tommy gets here cause i have no one else to bring me. he doesn't know this yet.
and what will we do tonight?! the suspense is killing me! if tom doesn't protest to it, i have to get to the food store since i haven't been yet.
hot date at the super stop and shop. steamy. can you handle it? hehe.
4:57 and i still look like a truck ran over and backed over my face so i need to get to that.
i think today will start a weather log.
the weather and i have had this ongoing war since i can remember.
i've been threatening to move out of this area if it doesn't shape up.
today: 65 and sunny.
and now i'm off.
ta!
i got really bored out of nowhere and i left.
so where was i?
well let's start from the begining
once upon april 5th, an erin brought a tommy to hoboken to see two spectacular musical performances.
ahem. yeah so i brought tommy to see decibully and owen on tuesday. it was a surprise and i'm not that great with surprises so i was pretty excited when i was able to hide who it was that we were actually seeing until owen was on stage. and he said hey! thats owen! and his eyes lit up! and he loved it! and that's JUST what i was going for! but then the decibully surprise was ruined when he announced they were next. but that's alright - i was expecting that.
so i burned "sing out america" from tom a few weeks ago and i've listened to it and enjoyed it but seeing them live was an entirely different story. there are very few bands who's performances i'm blown away by and decibully is up there with them. i've really only raved about two shows - when i saw Before Braille and Cursive. the point is, if you like them even a tiny bit, and you have the chance to see them, GO. you'll LOVE them after.
so that was a great day. the weather was awesome so that made it even better. i got yet another "frank rizzo" comment from the nerd at the door - so now i can chalk that list up to a nice round 4,268 times that i've heard it - or some variation thereof. but i guess it comes with the territory of having that last name. the best i've ever heard was when i booked 5 tickets for the upright citizens brigade and the guy taking my reservations on the phone said "rizzo? for 5? what, are you bringing the rest of the pink ladies with you?" HA. funny, but i really don't appreciate the Grease remarks. that movie should be wiped from existence. i will not tolerate the association!
so. that brings us to wednesday.
i went to class in the morning, came home and watched the G monster for about two hours. dina came to pick her up and before they even left i was passed out, asleep on the living room couch. i was completely wiped out. i'd only grossed about 7 hours sleep in the two preceeding nights. so i slept till around 3ish, showered and went to italian class. went to tommy's after. we thought "hey it's really nice outside, let's go to the beach for a bit, and then go to the inkwell." right. the beach. i think we stood there for a total of 2 minutes before we decided it was not too bright of an idea since we were both pretty cold.

Oh God, that noise!
it just came to my attention that i really hate that noise my computer makes when it's loading a page. it's this crackly "wheels turning" no specific rhythm kinda sound. and it drives me insane.
yee yee yeee yeeeeeeee YE
yee yee yeeeeeee ye yee yeeee YE
yeee yeeee yeee yeee yeeeeee ye ye YE
kinda like that.
so anyway.
i haven't posted in a while.
wait.
i think all my posts begin like that.
i've just posted some pictures that are long overdue.
three pictures of the babies on easter, and bunch from the last Fire Still Burns show.
lets see, what to update.
yesterday was a tommy and erin DAY.
like, daylight hours were had and spent.
tommy came over after his interview at vonage, (BLECH!) ;)
then he, so graciously, came with me to get my oil changed and to the mall to pay a bill... and to shop. which i should't have done. and since he's so great, he didn't complain about my ongoing pants search which was fruitless, or my endless "fat ass" complaints.
here i'll prove it to you:
there you go.
so now that you're blind, you can no longer read my blog. so i can say anything i want now!
like, i probably don't like you.
annnnd... you smell.
hm.
soooooo hey look! a baby!
and another one!
yee yee yeee yeeeeeeee YE
yee yee yeeeeeee ye yee yeeee YE

i haven't eaten a bananna in years.
i'm irritated.
irritated in that "papercut between your fingers" kind of way.
or like the "something in your eye" way.
but mostly in the "can't put my finger on it" way.
i have to go eat. i'm getting cranky.

more than you expected
hello unfaithful readers.
yes that's right, i am about to bless you with a long-awaited blog entry!
or not.
so what has happened recently?
well. i officailly started my spring break last thursday! whee! i onlt have clas on monday and wednesday so it's not really too exciting. but that's alright. just one more reason and a few more hours to be lazy.
but wait! i gave up "lazy" for lent! so today, instead of milling around doing nothing, i cleaned our basement! well... organized is more like it. we have alot of excess furniture that carl and jasmine will be taking with them when they move out, but for now it's in the basement. it was a sort of feat to arrange it all in a way that it made some sense, but still be able to get by everything. like walking. what?
yeah so we've got two tvs down here right now. we have the old one that's shot and a big newER one that doesnt fit into our tv/media type stand thingie. so we've got to get rid of the ond one and get something that will fit the new tv and the stereo, record player etc... but for now big tv is on the floor. bah. but the point is that now if people want to be down here, they can actually BE down here.
perfect!
finally! somewhere to BE besides my room. gah. that got old fast.
anyway. so now that i'm done with that i thought i'd take a blog and picture break.
today is the 14th and we know what that means. well, tommy and i do. so tonight i'm going to his house.
tommy's got an interview today in new brunswick. giddyup! i'm sure he'll do well. i'm just hoping it's a company he's interested in.
that'd be cool if tom worked in new brunswick. but it's quite a commute for him during those heavy traffic times.
hum.
don't get mugged honey!
wow. i keep glancing to the left at the other side of the basement and i'm amazed.
anyway. what should i do with the rest of my day?
i was thinking of going to the library at school to try and get some work done for this paper i have due on the 28th. anyone have any inside information on creativity in children? the correlation between creativity / artistic abilities and IQ in children? optimal surroundings to nurture a creative child? the importance of making children aware of their creativity and artistic skills and at a young age?
if you do, let me know. i'm not finding shit.
hum.
plus i have a rough draft on add/adhd - diagnosis and treatment due on monday. hmm. but that's just a rough draft. GAH!
i never thought i'd say this but i'd rather be patternmaking and sewing. and picking out fabrics. and doing presentation boards. :( i miss fashion classes.
so it's 2:08; i should probably eat some lunch, shower, do something else productive to keep feeling like a real human who accomplishes tasks during her day.

oooohhhh baby lips!
look at those. i mean LOOK at them! like little pin cusions! and the cheeks! cute overload.
so. that's my niece and God daughter. her name is Gianna. she is my sister's (dina) daughter. she just recently turned two. she also just recently took a nap on my parent's bed where she unknowingly posed for a photo shoot.
uhm. i've abruptly become bored of this blogging business for now.
and i'd rather do my italian homework.
so bye.

who would want to be such a control freak?
it's frosty down here like a jersey girls side ponytail.
wut
so. no porno party as it turned out.
tommy felt poopish. under the weather? having to poop? feeling moody?
take it as you will...
but anyway. i was disappointed but i didn't want him to push himself if he wasn't feeling well/had to poop/feeling moody.
i have made the last purchases i will be making for a while. i have flagged myself! cut myself off!
it's time i gained some control over myself.
i'll do it for lent. along with having given up soda, laziness, and being messy. so add "no frivolous spending" to the list.
yikes!
it's an erin overhaul!
so anyway. i now have a new pair of SNEAKS and a watch.
i guess i didn't really need the watch. but the one i had was all scratched up and the band was white leather... WAS white. now it's all dingy and i can't get a new one. so all i have is a watch face and a dirty old band. anyway. look at me trying to rationalize a purchase i know i shouldnt have made.
plus the watch counter dood was ignoring me like i was some dumb young girl who wasn't planning on buying anything.
so i said BANT! i bought it FUCKER!
judgemental piece of shit.
he asked all the crispy rich old-bag ladies if they needed help first. but they weren't planning on spending hubby's money today so he was out of luck.
so whee shiny watch.
now NO MORE BUYING!
ok.
so. tonight starts gym days for jasmine and me.
"ERIN AND JASMINE starring in...
GYM DAZE"
i can tell you one thing, my ass is gonna kill tomorrow. i mean hurt. cause of exercise. glutes.
ew. worst word in the english language "gluteous"
i'm yawning. i cant yawn YET!
erin needs some serious "get in shape" time.
ooh ooh! tonight is a tommy night!
mmm... tommy night...
wut

what a difference a daaay maaakes!
ok. let it be known that i am not a despicable girlfriend. my blog photo is probably familiar to anyone who reads tommy's blog. i didn't cut tommy out of the picture. that was his doing.
anyway.
so it's 11:20 and here i sit blogging because i'm too lazy to go upstairs and get my day started. but i swear that once my blog is finished i am going straight upstairs to put together my stuff for "porno night" and get ready for work.
well what's new. let's see.
jasmine and i have decided to start going to the gym a few days a week. so since i'm not a gym person, i owned nothing to work out in. uh oh! so yesterday i had an all out war with gym pants, and garments of the like. i managed to purchase ONE pair of pants after going to 4 different stores. now, why was this so hard for me? i really couldn't tell you. i wasn't too happy yesterday even with the ones i bought but they're growing on me. i'm much more used to seeing my body (especially my lower half) in pants that hide stuff. like jeans. so putting on pants that are a little less forgiving didn't sit too well with me.
i might just be crazy and a little too hard on myself but oh well.
they don't look so bad when i'm sitting and my ass is hidden! score!
after all my toil, i went to tommys house. and we went to get him something to wear for porn party tonight. i won't disclose our porno personas just yet, but you can be sure there will be pictures.
then we rented the terminal, which i loved. :)
excuse me i just payed bills for the last 20 minutes.
anyway.
my time is slipping by too quickly. i only have 2 1/2 hours before i have to leave for work.
GAH!
anyway.

have you been bad?
valentines day is by far the worst commercialized holiday to ever hit the calendar...
well, if you work at a florist, that is.
which i do. so it's not surprising that i wasn't exactly enthusiastic about the 14th when i had been experiencing valentine related flower-hell since the 10th.
i felt bad that i seemed really uncaring about the whole holiday to tommy. i was just so completely innundated with it for a week.
but the 14th was enjoyable once work was over. tommy came over around 8. he brought me flowers - tulips, hydrangea and dendrobium orchids :) lindt chocolate (drool) and tickets to see jimmy eat world and taking back sunday! i made tommy a photoalbum. with my two little bare hands. martyr. i was worried he might not like it cause i have a complex and i always think people won't like what i do for/make for/give them.
so we decided we couldn't just sit home on valentines day (cause we kind of dragged our asses on making any plans) so we went to Triumph in princeton, which just happens to be where our first date was :) AND it was our three month marker. whee!
aren't we all cute and squeaky new?
i know.
bah.
so one day at work during some down time, my co worker amy and i went a little cuckoo and created the next sensation to sweep the plush nation - VASE PETS!
we managed to shove pigs, turtles and even elephants into vases!
it's strange, i know, but i'll tell you one thing - the elephant didn't see it coming.
SO.
on friday, tommy and i are going to his friend andy's party.
apparently all of andy's parties are themed and you're sopposed to dress up. so this one is the porn party.
and you're supposed to go dressed as a "porn personality" like a guy would go as a pool boy, delivery boy etc.
i am going as a librarian. i think i can pull off the stern "return your books or else" look. or else i'll pull my bun out, throw my glasses across to the fiction section and take advantage of you on the card catalogs.
hm.
anyway.
i told tommy he should be the milk man. and i can screenprint a saying on the back of his white button-down, like "Mickelsen's Milk - Guaranteed delivery day and night!" and people will think hey, what milk man delivers at night? the one starring in "milk menagétoi" that's who.
yikes.
i just ate my second cannoli of the day. pastry queen of the east coast.
so. that's really it for today.
see you in another two weeks.

remember that last sweat...
...cause that was the right one.
so far i have experienced three class periods at MCC.
whee.
this parking is a total CROCK.
and all these buildings placed randomly with no rhyme? nevermind REASON?
so at first it really irritated me... but now i kinda know where i am.
i mean, everything at f.i.t. was so easy.
get out of the subway, there's the school. our "campus" was two blocks of buildings.
awww f.i.t. i've abandoned you.
and for about 15 seconds on monday, i actually missed it - being a veteran and knowing my way around.
but then i snapped out of it.
so i've been to child psychology twice, the teacher hasn't lectured for more than 10 minutes - totaled, and i'm already done with the two take home tests she gave us on monday. soooo... i'm guessing this is going to be one of those "self taught" classes cause the teacher is incompetent
ok so... it's 1:30. why does it feel like it's 5:00? mayhaps because i've been awake since 6am?
ugh.
hmm. where are my rainboots? they should be here by now :(
and why is something pinching my nose.
tonight is a tommy night, about which i am thoroughly excited :)
i haven't had one in a while.
time for me to go.
I hear: interpol // antics.
lyrics: we sail today, tears drown in the wake of delight.

pictures? for me?
GVOW!!!
::sigh:: finally, a way to have pictures on the blog, thanks to my tommy.
whee!
this excites me.
AND you can click on it and go to the actual version on flickr!
not only will i be annoying my thousands of dedicated blog readers with pictures on my blog, but you can also get an overdose of erin-related pictures at my flickr site: www.flickr.com/photos/phalaen
and i have to write that address out cause my computer sucks and for some reason, i can't include a link in here.
BAH.
so tomorrow starts classes.
:( part of me actually wants to go, but a bigger part of me would rather stay home.
i think the only things hanging over my head are the fact that i have to trudge there in the snow and i have to get there extra early so i can get my parking decal... which i neglected to do on friday before work - thinking i would have had the chance to do it yesterday.
lovely.
why can't the school just be closed tomorrow?
maybe it'll snow more tonight?
in any case, searching for a parking spot, trekking thru the snow and being cold aren't my top three things i want to do... ever.
tommy let me borrow his Self, Gizmodgery cd and i can't stop listening to it. it's a common affliction of mine.
tommy also thinks he is going to sweep the next two games of battleship but tommy is wrong - tommy is a dead duck. he's going down with his aircraft carrier.
and that's all i have to say about that.
ok so the picture at the top was a test...
and to satiate my need to post pictures, i will do one more... isn't this hilarious?
it was all i could do to keep myself from cracking up on the bus that day.
hm
ok. thats all...
i know you're heartbroken.

but what the hell did we say
language is the liquid that we're all disolved in - great for solving problems after it creates a problem...
uhmm... why am i even bothering with this? i don't have anything to say really.
i might be puppy-seeing on saturday.
wheee.
God i'm bored.
i have to leave for work in 1 1/2 hours.
what should i do with myself?
i'm not really in the mood to even be near people right now. so going upstairs would be a mistake.
i'll just stay down here in this hole and fuck around on the computer.
let my time waste away.
oh what's the point.

tieyoootwoteb!
tommy is sick again.
this makes me worried and upset.
i hate when he's miserable and in pain. :(
and now we probably can't see eachother until thursday.
gah!
it's 8:16 pm. do you know where your life is?
apart from going out to register this afternoon ( for the TWO classes that were actually STILL OPEN. huff)
i have been sitting in my house.
on the computer.
watching tv.
napping.
eating sandwiches and cereal.
i am idle and it irritates the hell out of me.
and you wanna know what's sick? i was just online browsing for puppy collars, leashes and sweaters.
i don't even have the dog yet.
yes i said sweaters. bostons like sweaters in the winter. so there.
right now i have 3 prospective breeders - two of which i like so far from what i've seen and one i'm not so sure of.
so.
one of them e-mailed me and asked if i wanted to go yesterday to see the puppy. too bad i didn't check my e-mail till today. but i wrote her back and asked if friday or saturday would be good. only thing is that this puppy's name is comet.
i don't like that one bit.
and i would feel bad re-naming him.
i picked seamus and seamus it will be.
why does my head hurt? could it be from staring at this computer for most of the day? or lying in uncomfortable non-neck-friendly positions on the couch while watching tv?
yes. it would seem so.
back to work tomorrow.
whee. 2-7.
so. i placed an order for a real life some time ago.
it appears to have gotten lost in the mail.
the plane it was being shipped on probably crashed and now it's at the bottom of the sea.
if i get up from this computer and stop writing this blog, i have not many options.
i can:
go into my room and: sit there, read a book, clean, write in "the notebook"
none of which appeal to me right now.
or i can:
take a bubble bath - which wil probably just make me even groggier than i already am
watch tv with my parents - oooh scintillating!
raid the fridge for more food i shouldn't be eating - hmm...
writhe in my boredom.
right now it's looking like i'll probably read in the bubbly bath.
ok! so! time to go pamper myself as if i'm something to pamper!
i hear: the good life - novena on a nocturn

puppy-time creeps up...
woah.
i just got a response from one of the breeders i contacted about boston terrier puppies and she said that they would usually meet prospective buyers somewhere in the middle to make it easier. good. that's less shady than saying they'd just ship the puppy. aww... poor shipped puppy.
anyway. that's a good sign cause i was beginning to think she was an irresponsible breeder. hm. we'll see.
so she has one litter with males ready now and she also has a newborn litter. yeee!
itty bitty puppy faces!
i am huddlng near a space heater cause i'm FROZEN right now.
it's 1:10
i am in pajama pants and tommy apostrophe S white t-shirt that i love cause it fits me perfectly. and that can say only one thing - that i am built like a boy. :( boy clothes always fit me better.
i hear michael running around upstairs right now. he baked a cake today. he loves to bake.
he came out of the kitchen with chocolate icing all over his hands and face. i brought him into the bathroom to wash him up and he said "are you going to wash my face toooo?" and i said "of course! you're all chocolatey!" and he said "with soap?" and i said "yes baby." and he said "noo!!! it bounes my eyeeees!" yes. bounes not burns. hehee
ehhh.. ok i thought it was funny.
i am hoping i get my letter from FIT today that will say "yes! you CAN take classes elsewhere and they WILL transfer! go ahead and register!"
and then i will go and register.
and hopefully the classes are open.
ugh.
so i should go do that now. check and see if i got my letter.
then it's get-squeaky shower-time and off to register. if i'm lucky.
BAH!

you don't know what you're missing...
i think i'll scrap the blog.
it's dumb and annoying and i never have anything interesting to say.
i always say "hey! i'll post today..."
then i sit here...
staring at the screen.
and then i stare some more.
"hm maybe i'll write about this... nah i wouldn't even want to read that... hm or this? no that's boring too."
i'm a pretty boring person, what else should i expect.
geeze i'm thirsty.
if you see a faded sign at the side of the road...
i could post pictures (takenwithmynewdigitalcameragiventomebythebestboyfriendintheworld) but i can't. because apparently blogspot does not like my computer.
guess what stupids, i found prospective puppy breeders. a boston puppy will soon be mine! and i will call him seamus and i will pet him and love him and squeeze his little mushy face.
!
mm strawberries and chocolate SOY milk. yeeee!
you must explain why this must be... without your love i won't make it through...
go look at pictures from my new years eve at:

this just in: i've recently added a pair of pants to the "oh fuck i can't wear THESE anymore" pile.
i'll tell you what has taken over.
MY ASS! that's what!
and you may ask yourself, "how do i work this?"
so i just got home from visiting my grandmother at my aunts house.
what aunt?
:(
that's all i can say.
and i came home to find BABIES!
INFILTRATING PERSONAL SPACE!
i found "sicily" perfume spilled on a silk scarf, shoes everywhere, and a 3 year old jumping on a messy un-made bed.
apart from the perfume on the scarf, it doesn't sound much unlike my room normally... oh yeah and the bouncy 3 year old. but that's alright cause mikey gave me a hug after.
sigh. OOOOOH BABIES!
i want to blow time on the computer until at least 6 cause then i will have only one hour and a half till i leave for tommy's.
robert palmer's "simply irresistable" is one of my secret guilty pleasures.
uhhhhhmmm times up!
bye.

do you think he'll be able to see us?
greetings from tommy's room.
from here i can see a cure poster, the U2 WAR cd, tommy's socks pulled all the way up, and tommy thinking he's being slick taking "candid" photos of me.
:)
i'm on to him. SHHH.
so today is 2005.
not tomorrow, or the day after - just today. make of it what you can, people, it's half over already.
i have a thrilling boyfriend, and had a thrilling new year.
so tom and i went to his sister cara's house and hung out with cara, her husband helio and their friends jessica, gene and todd, and tom's friends pete and beth. we spent most of the night at cara and helio's until the ball dropped. i'm such an old lady cause i was just about ready for sleep after that. then we all went out to ashes in red bank. it was emptying out when we got there but choo know.
so today we're jut hanging out.
we went to the beach before cause it's so nice out but there were so many people milling around like "woah have you heard? they brought the beach to new jersey - let's go see!" yikes.
close encounter with a woman in a pink sweatsuit and white hightop reeboks talking about how the whole country's opinion on jersey-shore girls is completely off.
say what?
later tom and i will be meeting up with a couple of his friends in red bank.
so i'm too distracted by tv right now to post anymore.
plus i'm boring
so i'm out.
oh yeah, and TOMMY IS MY MASTER
okay, i'll stop taking advatage of the fact that i have erin's password. that was pretty immature of me. but it's only fair.
