Spider Update
I finally got sick of the spiders and took matters into my own hands.
I had been very much against spraying any kind of spider killer around the car but after speaking with the man at Toyota and realizing for them to go in and try to find the nest and replace everything it was going to cost me around $500. I spend five dollars at the grocery and got some Hot Shot.
I sprayed inside the engine all around the wheel wells and the grill of the car.
This morning no spider webs to be found. I know it is too early to be certain but I am hopeful that after a few rounds of spray that this issue will be resolved.
Sidenote- this stuff is so potent that just the mist of spray that landed on my arm managed to turn my whole arm red and inflamed. It did go away after a shower though.

If You See A Crazy Lady
Wiping her car with lemon juice stop in and say hello, I could use the company.
So apparently the spiders of Waltham have followed me to Dedham. They had better stay here too !
I have been researching online ways to get rid of them naturally. I read one way to repel them is to spray lemon essential oils, well I dont have any but I have lemon juice....so I went out and wiped all my door jams and window frames and anywhere else I have seen spiders or webs...Maybe tomorrow I will not see any...maybe.
I hate SPIDERS.

Kevin and Roes Wedding
As many of you know Kevin (my old roommate) and Rosetta (my friend) were married on Sept 6th.
The wedding was amazing. It was great to see the old Newbury Gang and I think my date even managed to have a good time. It was a very lovely setting in North Andover MA called the Stevens Estate. The weather was perfect for the ceremony and a bit chilly at night. They had a belly dancer and a breakdancer perform to really showcase the differences in cultures. Rosettas family is from Iran and England and Kevin is a true Irish Bostonian, but they merged perfectly.
The belly dancer was amazing and she spent a lot of time at the Newbury table. I would have loved to see Ed and Sweeney's faces.
Here are a few pictures from the evening.

Sicko
So this weekend was supposed to be all about hanging out and a very fancy dinner at Sorrelina.
This weekend ended up being vomiting and sleeping all day.
Close. But no cigar.

Life Lessons
It has been an interesting few weeks here at work.
As many of you know there were two of us here and then Adrienne was offered a position as a teacher and accepted the job. In turn, this has left a position here open for someone to come in and help with the kids and take over the position when I eventually leave.
I want someone who is awesome to come in but it is hard to interview your replacement when you are not going anywhere for a while. I think the girl they have decided on ultimately is the best choice and the most qualified for the job. I am hesitant because she seems to have a strong personality and I do as well. I hope that we can work together well and not butt heads.
My other company is think is shutting its doors. I am not sure but I am fairly certain that today could be the day... I am waiting to hear. I did go in yesterday and clean out my desk and got all my personal stuff out. I feel really bad if it does close down, it was a great concept. I will keep you posted.

It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year...
That's right folks... it's apartment hunting time.
My lease is up in November and I have again started the hunt for an apartment.
After a Sunday of searching I think we stumbled across the winner !!!
This is getting easy. Yet, exhausting.
More details to follow.
In other news my sister Kristen and Nephew Jack are set to visit in October. Which I am really excited about. I haven't seen either of them since last December. My mother is also set to visit that weekend and coincidentally her brother will be here in MA that weekend as well. I am predicting a bit of a reunion. I am really looking forward to it.

After a pretty long break I am going to start blogging again. Mind you, most of these posts will be BORING but ehhh whatever.
I decided I would start out this week by showing you all my new awesome shoes. Thanks to Maggie I am in love with Dansko clogs and usually allow myself a pair or two for the fall season. Well the new ones arrived yesterday and they are pretty cool.
