Christmas Reflection
I was just sitting here thinking about Christmas as a kid.
We honestly had amazing Christmas's.
We might not have had a lot of money but my mother went out of her way to make sure we had a lot.
I remember every year coming down stairs and there would be presents laid out from the base of the tree usually almost all the way across the room. Toys would be set up, whether it was barbie houses, kitchen sets ( I remember a blue and white one), Pound Puppies, Cabbage Patch Kids...anything we wanted we got. Not that Christmas is about getting gifts which I know now, but seriously when you are a kid, it is.
Stockings were replaced with pillowcases, since they held more...my mom sure did a great job of making it an awesome morning.
AND, just when the last bits of paper were cleaned up and stocking dumped out on the floor, gifts were sorted into piles...there would always be one more thing hidden.
It might have been behind the burnt orange lazy boy or underneath the kitchen table but there was always something.
I might not always have positive things to say about my childhood but I really do feel blessed to have very fond memories of this morning...

Reason number 5000
Why I am a jerk.
So Ron came by this weekend to help me move.
The movers really did everything so we kinda hung out, had some wine, went to dinner, he played guitar...very mellow.He tried to help a little but I just kept getting frustrated so I think he gave up.
I just had a weird vibe from him so it was a little awkward especially when he left on Sun. In my mind I am like, whatever, maybe we have just out grown each other and we need a break...(maybe I am really just a bitch)or just mad at him because we had the baby talk again and it is not gonna happen.
So he leaves and I don't hear from him...
Last night I get home from work and there is a package on the porch. IT is from Lake Champlain Chocolates. I am thinking...Maggie...who else knows about my love of LC. They are the best. So I open it up expecting it to be from Mag.
Nope.
It was from Ron. I am such a jerk. Not that getting me something is what I need to make me ok with him again, it just was thoughtful and I need to not be so hard on him. He tries, and is there for me when I need it. Even if the dynamic of our relationship is constantly evolving...

Updated Pictures
I actually did update the pictures in the previous post.
I will add more when I get internet at home. I have decent ones I took with a camera not just these junky ones from my phone.
Mind you, the curtains in the bedroom are not the actual ones for the bedroom but mine are sheer and I have no blinds up yet...so. I made due.

Apartment before and afters
Tuesday, December 9, 2008
Nice
For as much crap as I give Ron and he gives me, he really does come through for me.
He called me this AM and offered to come out and help with the move. This is the second time he has done this.
So yeah !! I have help.
UPDATE:
Okay maybe I am slightly dramatic, but hey you know it's my right.
My friend Chris has stepped up and offered to help me too. I haven't spoken with him in a while he has been kinda AWOL, but he emailed yesterday and offered to help me on Sunday. I told him thanks but I will be moved by then. He responded by saying he will come over Wed, Thurs, and Friday nights and help me pack and get ready for the movers on Saturday morning !!!
Shall be interesting. I finished painting the living room yesterday and I know the bathroom tub is going in today as well as the new windows. The man is coming to paint the bedrooms today and tomorrow as well.
I am hoping to at least get the bathroom primed tomorrow so hopefully they will be done putting the tub and shower surround in by then. If not it will have to wait for paint until I get in there but then I can focus my attention on painting the inside of the closets, which may sound sill but you haven't seen them.
The cleaners are coming Friday night to do a deep clean and BOOM I get to come in on Saturday morning. Maybe I stressed over nothing, but it was very over-whelming at first.
I had the landlord measure the door width the other day and I am not entirely sure the TV with fit through. He said he would be around and take the door and frame out if need be...that shall be interesting !!

Pictures From The Patriots Game.
So Tired
I am so tired and run down and over-whelmed with what I have to do that I think my brain is shutting down not allowing me to do anything at all. I can barely use a period and definitely can not muster the energy to use the return key. I went to the new apartment last night after work and it is so dirty from the floors being sanded and needs so much work before I can even start painting that I got completely over-whelmed and went home. I thought I was gonna puke from the smell of the floors and I could tell that Andi was slightly grossed out which was not helping the situation at all. I think I made a mistake. It is so gross especially with all the ladies stuff out it needs so much work and I certainly can not bring myself to even do anything. I am sure I am over reacting and it will be fine once I get in there and get going but I am so fucking tired I don't want to do it. Not to mention I haven't even started packing my own apartment and the movers are coming Sat morning and sigh..........I still feel vomity.

Life is Ehhhh...
So I am sitting here thinking about everything that has been going on lately.
I have not really posted anything good in a long while.
Sometimes I think I do have an interesting life sometimes not so much.
I just talked to my friend Kristine who is devastated. She has just left the court room in London where her good friend George O'Dowd was just convicted. And probably will have to do some jail time. If you do not recognize that name look it up. I feel really bad for her and him as well. I do not know if what he is accused of doing happened I wasn't there. I think they go back to court on Jan 16th for sentencing.
I have finally gotten the keys to the apartment. Colors are all picked and soon the painting will begin. I am going to take before and after pictures so you can see my Ghetto fab transformation.
I am realizing that the reason I have not posted anything good is that nothing good is happening.
Nothing bad is either.

This Is The Hour of My Discontent
I am bored....with everything.
I know I am am fickle, that is a given.
It is just that nothing excites me lately.
I have been talking with H.B.S. a lot lately and that is nice. I like getting his emails first thing in the morning it is nice to know someone is at least thinking of you or talking to him at night before bed but for some reason this is not enough for me. There is no anticipation to talk to him.
I want "crack" or at least the feeling of "crack"...
Maybe I need rehab.
(I know you don't know about HBS yet, he is not up for discussion yet)

So I am a party pooper..big deal
I had to work today at 8 am.
I get home at around 10:30 last night to discover strangers in my house.
A drunk roommate. Drunk friends. Young girls.
Very nice.
Did I mention I had to get up at 7 am.
Around 12 am, booty call shows up for girl #2. A co-worker of roommates and girl #1.
Loud music, loud voices.
My room is next to the living room.
Drunk. Did I mention Drunk.
2am...I hear vomiting...oh the sounds of things I will not miss...
So I lay in bed contemplating the next move.
a. If the vomiter passes out, does that give me the right to kick the three remaining drunk people out?
b. Have I been good roommate long enough to go out and ask them to be a little quieter?
c. Who is vomiting in the kitchen sink? I hear it. The vomiter. Apparently the bathroom is occupied.
I AM SO DONE.
about 20 minutes later I hear the door open and people exit.
TV still blaring music.
I get up. Shut off TV. Lock the doors which have been left unlocked...
Lay in bed wishing I could sleep.
Did I mention I have to work in the morning... I mean I could possibly get 4 hours of sleep.
Finally I start to drift off, I hear the vomiter return. I fall asleep. I have ceased caring at the point. I am tired.
Maybe I am just an old party pooper.
Vomiter gets bonus points for not spraying anything this time !!!
The house better be cleaned up when i get home.

Most Awesome Gift EVER
So Nicole being as awesome as she is has outdone herself...
A few weeks ago she had mentioned being able to get tickets to a Pats game.
Of course I would love to go... Then I was asked if I had a team preference I said Steelers...then I texted her last night to ask her if she had heard yet since she has a friend who usually hooks them up...
Today she emails me this....
Michele,
Congrats! You are going to the Steelers game. I hope you don’t get killed by a beer. Actually I think Schmoop would fit right in with the crowd ready to chuck his bottle at a moment’s notice at someone’s head.
I did not get these tickets through xxxxx. I bought them as a thank you to you for the extraordinary care and love you show to Eli and an early Hanukah gift. The good news for you is we celebrate both holidays J.
You have two tickets. They are in section 110 around row 30-38. The tickets I really wanted only sold in a 4 pack. But these are only about 5-10 rows behind and I think great for watching the fanny of Mr. Light himself.
Dress warmly you are definitely OUTSIDE.
Party on Garth.
Nicole & Joey & Eli & Mai & TBD
How awesome is that?
I am very lucky and I know it.

Seriously.
If one more person tells me I am too thin or skinny or need to eat or whatever I swear I will punch them in the face. I weigh 165 pounds. Since when is that too thin?
I eat.
I eat.
I am such a grown up.
I hired movers. This is the first time in my history of moving (which is quite extensive)that I hired movers. It was cheap enough I guess, and all I have to do is pack it up. Now if I can get someone else to move the TV it will be much cheaper. Maybe I can bribe Greg and Jed again with pizza. It did work once. But really I should just have the movers do it in their truck and pay for the extra guy.

Up Dates and Mo'
Apartment-
Found one. In Dedham. Not exactly where I would choose to live but it is cute and cheap. I love the landlord and think this place could be cute. I get to paint and and make it my own. It is not as swanky as my place now, but I guess I need to be humbled.
Plus it is cheaper so now I can plan my vacations...
I am planning on going to Florida for a long weekend in January and for a week or two in Feb.
I also spoke with Kristen today so maybe we are going to try and get to Savannah sometime...
The big one is England. I spoke with Tim this AM, I had originally planned on trying to make it out there over Thanksgiving but flights were silly expensive. I am going to shoot for March and surprise MG for her B-day.
I am heading to VT this weekend for Maggie's shower. Her neighbor wants to fix me up with her trainer but it requires me to get up at 7 am on Sunday so honestly it might have to wait.
Then on Sunday PM I am heading home to NY. My grandfather is turning 80 this weekend so I am taking him out to dinner on Monday. Also, I hope to meet up with an old friend Kristy for lunch while I am there. She is always good for a fun time.
The Pats game tonight is a good game. I have a bet with CW on the outcome of this one so as always I hope I win. YES I said CW. We have been in contact but nothing to write home (or here) about. Pats better win.
Dating- I actually did check out CL when I threatened to the other night. Exchanged emails with a couple of guys but nothing emerged as promising.
I think that is it.

Looking Pah Nub....
OK, I have decided it is time to saddle up and get looking for Mr Right (again) not Mr Right Now. Short of joining Match (again) I am at a loss. I suppose I have got to start getting out more. I haven't really been going out a lot in the past couple of months and before battening down the hatches for winter I need to get this Ghetto Booty out and about. So that is my week after Halloween resolution.
Maybe I can find a cute dude on craigslist while I am apartment searching...Or, if anyone else has any single friends...Except for that random creepy person who keeps posting comments on here and volunteering. Whoever you are, you are creepy, go away.
Wish me luck.

File This Under Phew....
'Palin didn't know Africa was a continent': McCain aides begin Republican mud-slinging in wake of defeat
Sarah Palin did not know Africa was a continent, McCain aides have allegedly claimed.
New slurs against John McCain's former running mate emerged this week as the tattered Republican party nosedived into civil war and the divide between McCain and Palin was further exposed.
A Fox News anchor claimed McCain aides told him of Mrs Palin's ignorance on Africa - and that she did not know what countries were in North America.
Aides also allegedly claimed Mrs Palin spent "thousands more" than the $150,000 reported on clothes during the campaign - to the shock of the donor who paid her bill - and that she answered the door to McCain aides in her hotel room in just a towel.

Lull in Excitement
I have not been posting anything because frankly nothing exciting has been going on.
Last weekend, after finding out I am apartment searching on my own I had decided I had enough and just wanted to go home. I rallied the troops consisting of my three mothers... My mom, Erin, and Daneen. We all went out to dinner together. It was nice to be with them all they are amazing.Erin and I went out after, bar hopping until we found the seediest bar in all of Hudson Falls (which isn't that hard). We were the queens of the bar. Guys were literally yelling across the bar to us, buying us drinks, we spent a lot of the night getting this lovely older gentleman, Owen out on the dance floor. Honestly he out danced us.
He was adorable and reminded me very much of the fur designer that we met in that bar in Montreal.
That man was amazing...nothing like modeling fur in a bar :)
Although I do get grossed out when strange men fondle my hair in bars...
Needless to say Erin and I had fun and I was able to just get a way for the night.
On the way home I tried to catch up with Ron but he was not around. Which is probably a good thing :) My relationship with him is so hot and cold. He is a nice guy but I don't know how to explain it.
I have decided that I am going to join Match again. Why not?
Speaking of Match, CW has been pretty vocal lately. It seems every time I am about to delete him from facebook or my cell he pops in. Maybe he is psychic?
I was able to see the triplets as well. They are getting amazingly big and so f*ing cute. Mary is an amazing mom !!!
This weekend I am shooting pictures at a party in MA.
Next weekend I am heading up to Burlington VT for Sat and Sun for Maggie's shower.
Which I have to get on the ball about, I am a slacker.
See there you go nothing earth shattering in my world.
I did go look at an apartment last night. The place was icky but I was completely intrigued by the contents of one bedroom Hello Kitty slip on shoes and a bottle of K-Y self warming jelly on the nightstand. I could not get past that.

As The Story Goes...
So I am waiting for my silver lining.
I spoke with my current landlord this evening about possibly extending our lease for three months. Michelle informs me that they are moving into our apartment and renting out the apartment upstairs which is four bedrooms and we can not simply afford. I think they are asking 2200 a month.
So now back to square one.
I need to find a place. It needs to be under 2000.
I have under Dec 31st to find said apartment. Worst case scenario I don't get to home go home for Christmas.
I can move into Nicole and Joeys I suppose.
Anyone finds a place let me know.

DESSERTS...
I never realized that stressed backwards was desserts...
ANyway, I am a little stressed..My car, yes, the new one is WONKY. I don't know the actual definition for wonky but it means fucked up. IT smells like someone is buring something in the air vents.It has been in the shop for two days already. Today marks the week mark for ownership.
The only good side to this whole stupid mess is that I get to drive Nicole's BMW while my P.O.S is in the shop. The stupid car is not even registered yet. Still on the first tank of gas.
This afternoon I also told Kevin I was moving in with Sonya and no renewing our lease. I think he took it OK, but you never know how to read these things via email. I did not want to tell him via email but he asked so I told him. Now I need to find a placed ASAP.
this is just the tip of my stress...

Hospital Beds
It has been an interesting day.
Started out great at Bus working on the Q3 for Universal.
Then I head to Starbucks get my usual coffee and head to see Sir Schmoop.
Around 1pm I start getting really sharp pains in my chest on the left side. Every time I breathe in a get a pain that "on a scale of 1 to 10 " was about a 9.
At first I think ahhhh, it must be heartburn or something but after 3 hours of the coming and going of the pain I start getting a little nervous.
Nicole is home for the day and I am talking to her about it and she is like it is nothing.
But the pain is still there. I start to get a little panicky. After what happened last year at the office I don't think anyone takes these matters lightly.
Nicole suggests that I call my doctor and see what they say. Well I can't speak to my actual doctor because she is "busy with a patient" who actually turned out to be Andrea (how is that for coincidence? and yes we have the same doctor)so I speak with the nurse explain what is going on and she says go to the hospital and get an EKG.
Now I start to get nervous. I am fairly certain that it is nothing but I don't want to be having a mild heart attack or something. SO I start crying .
I know really helpful.
I help Nicole get someone to help with Eli (since she is so high risk and had previously broken her back she is not allowed to pick up Eli) and drive myself to the ER. Since Andi was busy at the doctor.
I go in and right away they do an EKG. I literally was there less than 1 minute before I am in the back with Michael, apologizing because I am again crying. I was a little scared and felt dumb because I was fairly certain there was nothing wrong.
Michael is great, looks at the read out and says perfect. I could now go check in and wait for the doctor oh and register.
In the meantime Roe and Kevin show up which is great. I needed to see someone I knew. I told them both not to come but I am glad they were there. I was waiting for the doctor to come back and talk to me. I ended up having a chest X-ray they were double checking for a blood clot in my lungs and after peeing in two cups ( I swear they think I was high) and giving away half of my blood...they determined that I have a viral infection in the joints in my chest...I did not know I had joints there to be honest.
It was quite an interesting afternoon and I got to hang out next to the nurses station in my undies and stupid gown...with the the paramedics hanging out right there and nurses and doctors and orderlies...you get the point.
I am just glad it was not something serious.
Started out great at Bus working on the Q3 for Universal.
Then I head to Starbucks get my usual coffee and head to see Sir Schmoop.
Around 1pm I start getting really sharp pains in my chest on the left side. Every time I breathe in a get a pain that "on a scale of 1 to 10 " was about a 9.
At first I think ahhhh, it must be heartburn or something but after 3 hours of the coming and going of the pain I start getting a little nervous.
Nicole is home for the day and I am talking to her about it and she is like it is nothing.
But the pain is still there. I start to get a little panicky. After what happened last year at the office I don't think anyone takes these matters lightly.
Nicole suggests that I call my doctor and see what they say. Well I can't speak to my actual doctor because she is "busy with a patient" who actually turned out to be Andrea (how is that for coincidence? and yes we have the same doctor)so I speak with the nurse explain what is going on and she says go to the hospital and get an EKG.
Now I start to get nervous. I am fairly certain that it is nothing but I don't want to be having a mild heart attack or something. SO I start crying .

Slighty Annoyed
Well I made plans to go to Six Flags this weekend for freight Fest with Kevin, Roe, and her nephews.
Being that Six Flags is in western MA and Ron wanted to get together I decided that I would combine the two things and hang out with them and then go to Rons after for the night.
So he re-arranges his schedule and I sent out the word for free tix...which I am waiting to hear back about.
Then I text Roe and tell her I am def. in and that it is gonna be awesome.
She responds with oh, we are not going there anymore. I should have told you.
We are going to NH instead.
Now I either have to trek out to Western MA Sat night or break plans with Ron. Which is most likely what is going to happen he was busy until like 9 pm anyway. Which is why it worked out in the first place.
I am just annoyed.

Canadian Thanksgiving
Back from a weekend in NY.
Food was great, weather was amazing, company was fun.
Mary and Jeff brought the babies. Those babies are getting SO big !!!!I felt bad we did not get to eat with them though.
I hope they enjoyed their to go boxes that Maggie put together.Maggie looks so adorable. She seems to be feeling well and had a very wondrous blue hat.
I threw out "the gayness". Term was used all night long...
Ms. Brit came up with me this weekend and Arlyn met us there as well. It was nice to be with all the sisters. I love them.
Rachel looks fab and pregnant. Caleb is getting so tall and is looking forward to being a big brother.
Chris and Bess both seem to be doing awesome.
I think I covered everyone, oh, Andy he's good.
I went swimming today and it was sorta chilly but being out on the boat was nice.
OK I am going to stop this post since I am even boring myself.

Dear John,
Well I finally got the nerve to send Courtney his Dear John letter.
He really is a sweet guy but honestly I have lost interest and I am pretty sure he was just keeping me around just in case.
So, I did us both a favor and cut it off. Very nicely I might add.
I'll let you know what he responds if he does.
I also have decided to give airport guy a shot. He is still trying hard so I figured 1 date will not kill me...although theoretically he could...I will take a chance.
I am revved up and ready to try again.

Butt Weight...
So most of you know I am on a quest to drop some weight.
I have done really well and so far have dropped about 13 lbs since Sept.1
I have 5 or 6 more to go then I am good. Although, with Thanksgiving next weekend I might have to re-adjust those numbers.
I will keep you posted.
So I went bra shopping because the first place I usually lose weight is my chest.
I get measured.I am thinking yeah i need a new bra they have definitely gotten smaller...Wrong...She tells me the size and for some reason it is a larger cup...
I have another lady do it. Same result.
WTF?
I am wondering now where all the weight is coming off, certainly not my bumm...

Truth
I came to a horrific realization today.
I am neither as calm, cool, or collected as I thought.
That scares me.

Ok I Take It Back....
Maybe I was a little too harsh on Ron.
He has been annoying lately BUT it still stands that if I am not married by 35 I do want his help with the whole baby thing.
Most of you know it has been an on-going topic for the past 5 yrs. with us.
BUT, I think he is coming around.
He is bringing it up...and tonight he agreed to it. Good thing I am only 32.
We would hopefully have some really tall, crazy haired little monkeys.

I'm So Pissed Off !!!
My day has been bad from the beginning and it isn't even 11 yet.
6:30 am My landlord who lives upstairs decides yet again that it is the perfect opportunity to finish up that carpentry project. HAMMERING non-stop. This isn't the first time either.
8:15 am I am so stuffy I can not sleep anymore. I shower and head to work.
9:00 am I get to work to discover someone has switched out my computer with the nice big screen and super fast processor with some fucking peice of shit computer that has a 15 inch screen. What the fuck?
I have reports that are literally like 30000 rows long how the fuck am I supposed to work on this thing.
The email is not set up.
The IT guy is AWOl.
Screw this
9:30 am I walk out the door.
I see my boss in the parking lot and was like GW I am outta here. We chatted for a while and i left.
10:15 am Marshalls for some retail therapy. No I did not buy anything. I was cruising the bag selection since we all know I love bags.
10:30 am Starbucks....Maybe today is getting better...

Ex's
Did you ever have those weeks when your Ex's come out of the woodwork?
This has been that week for me.
The most interesting is happening now, as I type.
Dean (the original crazy guy)is online telling me how he is getting married in two weeks and that he is weirded out because his announcement is going to be in the New York Times.
And that he misses me.
He stalked me...among other things but I have compassion for him. He needed help.
HELLO.
Anyway. I suppose I should just grin and bare it. He is now going to be married and happy or whatever. I just get frustrated with my life at moments like this.
OK I sat on this post for a few minutes...
I think my problem is I need to let it go. People go, cut them off.
I try to remain friends with every single EX I have ever had. And the only person who gets hurt by this seems to be me. Not that talking to Dean is hurtful by any means but it is just a harsh reminder of every time I have failed. Not that every relationship has been a failure, some have been extreme learning experiences.
I am not sure why I am so hung up on this right now, maybe it is just talking to him and the events of this week with talking to Jason (no comment from the peanut gallery).
Maybe I should go to bed and stop spewing words that have started to make no sense.

Built To Spill
The show was top five most boring shows I have been to.
Dinosaur Jr. was pretty good. I have a thing for J. Mascis anyway.
I think after having met him and talking to him numerous times,seeing how SLOW he does everything in his real life, it is amazing to watch this man play guitar his fingers fly.
That still did not make up for the lameness of the rest of the show.
Mike and I decided we were so bored we would just leave. So we did.

I'm Hot...In The Geriatric Scene
Well it has been two weeks since the last time I was asked out...
Today I was pulling into Starbucks behind a Bentley.
The car parks a man gets out and goes into the shop.
I go in as well.
He gets his drink. I get mine.
As I am filling my vente cup with sugar and yumminess, I look over and see them man staring at me. I smile.
He pops off his stool and comes over and stays hi I am Peter.
I say hi I am Michele.
He makes a comment about the weather (it is raining) and I state that I actually like the rain. It is fun you know to run in.
He smiles and asks me to join him for coffee. I tell him I can't that I am headed off to work.
He asks for my number and if maybe we could have coffee again another time.
I just smile and tell him well I am here everyday and turn and walk out the door.
He was cute, and old, and short.
Oh well. At least this time I did not give out the digits I am learning :)

Bored...Bored...Board.
If you can't tell I am bored.
This is the down side of taking care of Eli.
I suppose I could read.

Eharmony Part 2
Well after not logging back in to EHarmony since the special needs episode I have canceled my membership.
I did not need to spend $60.00 a month to type a few standardized answers to Dean from Melbourne Australia. Very unlikely that we were gonna meet and fall in love.
I love how canceling the membership was just as long and time consuming as joining.
I also canceled Match.
So there I now have an extra $100.00 a month.

I Think I Missed Something
Have you ever encountered a situation that made you step back and wonder exactly what led up to this happening?
This happened to me the other day .
I was out driving around, I drive past a T Stop and look over to see a man with no legs in a wheelchair "parked" in the middle of the parking lot asleep.
I thought to myself, did someone leave him there? Maybe he was too tired to go any farther?
What happened to this man that this is where he ended up?

All Dressed Up and No Place To Go
Tonight was Kevin and Roe's engagement party. The dinner was good and the company was great.
I get all dolled up in a great little black dress and heels. And now I am here alone...
Kevin, Brian and Jake all went next door to smoke and hang out at a party which I have no interest in attending so now I find myself alone and a little less fabulous.
Well the night was good at least.
