Thanksgiving

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 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.

'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.
