Ok, since Erin posted about Coconut Ice Coffee, I have been addicted to trying all the flavors that they introduced this summer. I was quite eager to see that Dunkin Donuts has a list of about 20 flavors you can now choose from for ice coffee!! So far, I love the coconut, the toasted almond gets 2 thumbs up, and mocha is to die for. Today, I tried Marshmallow. Yeh, I should have had an alarm go off when I said marshmallow outload at the drive up window. it was not good. And, i lifted it up, the cover wasn't on, and I spilled 1/2 of it all over my car. What a mess. I guess higher powers were trying to tell me NOT TO DRINK MARSHMALLOW ICE COFFEE!!

Well, Pookie had a long hard day at work yesterday, so she needed to unwind. So, she called me around 9 (when i was good and pissed that the president bumped the oc) and asked if I wanted to go out. My friends NEVER want to go out on weeknights, so how could i refuse. I miss having fun every thursday night!!! (going through law school, as a rule, every thursday, there were pub parties at different bars. so I went out a LOT! its been a cruel shock to my system to NEVER go out.) We called Betty, figuring she would decline the invite, but since she didnt have to work today, she came too!!! So we headed down to JD's, the local dive that we have come to love. Pookie had alterior motives. her sould mates brother works there, and she was hoping to reconnect with him. but no luck. neither mr. soul mate or his brother were present. We did however run into an old highschool chum, Jessie P. It was interesting seeing him to say the least. He was full of energy and talked out ears off!!!
At 12:30 we bounced from JD's and headed over to Vincents to make a last ditch effort to run into Mr. Soul Mate. O and we love the creepy heads all over the walls. and the awful jukebox. lol. I actually played songs in it last night bc there was a killers cd in it. the killers is my fav band right now. thats the only cd in the entire juke box that i like. its all really weird music.
so we had a drink at vincents, then bounced. we didnt really wanna go home, so we headed to the Kenmore Diner for some late night breakfast. just what my waist line needs!! i had the irish breakfast, with corned beef, hash browns, eggs and toast!! thats a lot to eat at 2 in the am!!!! so after our food, we finally called it a night and retreated back home for some shut eye!!

I am moving in 1 week. Yikes! I have turned into a shopaholic trying to get everything I need for my apartment. I actually spent my entire paycheck this week on things that I needed. On Monday, I bought a kitchen cart. Its really nice. Big enough for my microwave and toaster over, and lots of storage space. :) I also bought all my accent towels and bathroom rugs, toothbrush holder and god knows what else. O some kitchen utensils, hair serum, and some other little things.
Then yesterday, I went to Spags 19 (formerlly the wonderful Spags) and went rug shopping. I got the 2 rugs I needed, a purple oriental rug for my room and a blue area rug for Joes. It is scary to see how much stuff I have already bought, but how much more stuff I need. and that doesnt include groceries nad paper goods or any of that stuff.

I'll keep ya posted on how my apt is progressing!!

on the rocks. for once i am talking about my relationship with Joe and not a cocktail. Its been pretty tough lately. the distace is definately getting to us. and while we only have a few weeks left, i havent seen him in 3 weeks, and its gonna be another week and a half before I do again. we talk every night on the phone, and say nothing, because he hates talking on the fone. and, did i mention, he is miserable? so miserable that he is nasty whenever i talk to him. its bad enough that my boyfriend lives 4 hours away and it'll be over a month between our last visit and our next, but it really kills me that every time I talk to him he is mean to me, or yells at me, or snaps at me!!!! He's taking finals and getting ready to take the bar, which sucks, i did it last summer, but he doesn't have to try to make me cry every night!!!!! And he started smoking again, which pissed me off. I hate smoking, i have asthma, it bothers me. I won't live with a smoker, I don't want my stuff smelling of it, and I don't want his clothes reeking of smoke sitting around my apartment. it really bothers me. and whats more, I DON'T WANT MY HUSBAND TO BE TO DIE OF LUNG CANCER!!!! He tolk me, knowing I would be upset. then he yelled at me for getting upset, like it doesnt effect me. its been real bad lately. I hate fighting. anyone that knows me knows I AVOID CONFRONTATION!!! I get mad at my friends and ignore them. I have only really beedn mad 2 times... once at Kristy in 8th grade, where I wouldn't speak to her for 6 months and once at Pookie earlier this year where I didn't talk to her for about 4 months. with Joe, he picks fights with me every night. he tries to get me angry!!! It is really driving me insane. I love him to peices, and hate seeing us fight like this. Sorry, I really just needed to vent.

This morning was the March of Dimes. Martha got me up early, so I showered and got ready to walk!! We got to the Walk right around 11, and boy was it packed!! I raised $100.00, which was my goal!! Yay!!!! The walk was invigorating. It started right as it was getting nice out. I even got some color! and After the walk, there was an Outback Barbecue. I am not the hugest fan of the Outback, but it was nice to get fed after the long trek. I had a great time, and it made me feel real good to do something to help other people.

After the walk, I headed home, and started packing. I moved a lot of stuff over to my apartment with the help of my mom and sis. It makes me cry to look in my room tho, because I have SO MUCH STUFF!!! Its gonna take me the next two weeks to get everything all packed and moved. Just to put things in perpective, right now, I have made 2 trips. the only things I have moved in are my couch and rug for the living room, and kitchen appliances!!!! Yikes!!! I have not moved in any of my bedroom furniture, kitchen furniture or clothes!!! And I have more clothes than any person should have.

After moving my stuff into my apartment, I went to Boston with my mom and sis to bring my sis back to college. Stac, my sis, took us out for a fancy dinner, a/k/a the dining hall. it was yummy. I had pizza, fries, turkey, salad and tortilla chips. o and an ice cream cone. I picked at everything, and didnt really eat that much. so i am not totally a cow, I swear.

Then off to home again, where I packed, and I packed and I packed. I have too much stuff!!!!!!! Anyone wanna help?? (if you saw the disaster that is my room, you would laff at me and say NO WAY!!!!)

Saturday was a busy busy day. Betty and I had planned to go yard saling, but when I woke up to a downpour at 8 a.m., I curled back up and went to sleep. I awoke at 1, with my fone ringing. Betty was near g-town, and asked me if I wanted to go to BJ's. Sure, I said, and through on some sweats, put my hair in a messy ponytail and washed the mascara off of my face that I failed to get off the night before. (I NEVER go anywhere without showering, so this was a big step for me!!!) We went to BJ's and Betty got a bunch of stuff on her shopping list. I got a bulk package of pad thai mix. Joe loves to make thai food, but we cant actually find a recipe for Pad Thai that doesnt start with "Use a pad thai mix". all the ones we've tried are pretty bad, so it would be fantastic if I found a good one!!! After BJ's, we headed to Home goods and looked around. Betty bought a few things. I behaved myself. at least there I did. Off next to Marshall's where I did cave in!! I found really cute fondue dishes for $4.99!!! I was wicked excited. I also got a pretty bottle of oil, with a yummy recipe on it, and some placemats for my kitchen!!! After Marshall's Betty brought me home, where I cleaned myself up and did some packing.
At 8:30, I headed to Betty's house, and was greeted in the parking lot by her husband. he got out of work early, so he was gonna go out for sushi with us!!! MMMM. we went to the Sole, in Worcester, where we had calamari, sushi and some pomegranite cosmos. I used to really like cosmos, but in my old age, i have a real hard time downing the vodka. Its a little strong for me, and I think I need to start drinking girlier wuss drinks. Betty and I actually watered our cosmos down in order to drink them!!!!
MMM. Sushi. The sole is sooo good!!!

Friday night I had a great time. I got out of work around noon, because I went to court in Taunton, and my boss didn't wanna make me drive back to the office in Cambridge. Sooo i got to go home. Yay!! So I hung around and played with my cat all afternoon. Then I got myself prettied up for a night on the town. I work my favorite out pants, which were a little small bc I think my mom washed them and they are dry clean only. But they still fit, so it was ok. Over my black out pants, I wore a red strappy dress, which looked really cute paired with some black strappy heels. I was pleased with my outfit. very ashley simpson.

I met up with Pookie and Martha and we went to Vincents, a bar in Worcester. Vincents, if you haven;t been there, in interesting to say the least. Its decorated with scary ass heads of animals, and not common ones. there is a jackalope head, and this scary ass wolf head. i dont actually think that the heads are real. at least i hope not. we had a few drinks and various guys came over and flirted. I actually saw an old friend from high school, danny t., who I havent seen in YEARS!!! we chatted fot a bit, before he took off. It was definately fun, going out, having some drinks, flirting a little with Boys. (don't worry joe, I don't flirt a lot!!!! and no other guy has a shot with me but u!!)

After Vincents, we were hungry so we went to Dennys. I HATE DENNYS. lol. I have gotten food poisoning there on like 3 or 4 occasions. but it is one of the few places actually open at 2 in the morning. LOl. this dennys is in the ghetto part of Worcester. And the sketchiest people EVER go tere. There were these loser guys at the table next to us talking about how they were at this bar, and EVERYONE kept offering BLOW to them. EW. They said to the waitress "yea man, we're alcoholics not drug addicts." Classy, huh?!?! It was pretty funny though because these guys thought they were HOTTT SH!T.

When I finally got home and crawled into my bed, it was nearing 3:00 am. lol i have felt so old lately, that it was nice to actually get out and have some fun into the wee hours of morning.

I HAD ATT FOR THE LONGEST TIME. YEARS AND YEARS. AND THEN THEY MERGED WITH CINGULAR, BUT I STILL HAD ATT. THEN I LOST MY PHONE, AND THEY FORCED ME TO SWITCH OVER, BECAUSE THEY WOULDNT SELL ME AN ATT PHONE. SO NOW I AM STUCK WITH THE SHITTY PHONE THEY SOLD ME, THAT I PAID A LOT FOR. TODAY, I WAS SITTING AROUND, ALL OF A SUDDEN MY PHONE STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF, AND IT SHORT CIRCUITED. IT WON'T TURN ON NOW!!!! I AM REALLY AGGRAVATED. THEN I CALLED CINGULAR, AND SAT ON HOLD FOR 25 MINUTES ONLY TO GET A MESSAGE THAT THE OFFICE IS CLOSED AND TO CALL IN THE AM. ERRRRRR!!!!!

I have been emailing Martha for like weeks now, trying to get together and get pizza. Our schedules suck. She works 2 jobs, and is never around, and my time is pretty sparse lately too. SO we finally got together tonite for pizza at Bertuccis!!!!! Me, who is completely indesicive with EVERYTHING actually picked the pizza!!!! I am proud of myself. lol. well, i picked the ultimate bertucci, the pizza that has 4 sections, 1 sausage, 1 chicken, 1 meatball and 1 ham. lol. that way I didnt have to pick just one topping!!!! yay!! it was soooo yummy!!!

Martha had the shower curtain that I wanted for my bathroom. she got it as a gift, but has a door to her shower, so she gave it to me!!! how funny is it that she actually had the one I picked out last night in her possession?!?!?! its bright blue and has all multicolored rubber duckies all over it. and she had the rubber ducky shower rings too. its really cute. now i just need little bathroom accessories and rugs and my bathroom will be all done!!! yay!!!

After dinner Martha and I went to Target. I looked at all kinds of fun things for my apartment, carts for the kitchen, bathroom accessories, appliances, cabinets. I love target. I ended up buying a really cute purse. its aqua (the color that I buy all my bebe clothes in, because its so cute and bright and summery) with bright red strawberries on it. its reversable, and turns into a red bag. I like the blue with the strawberries. I was thinking about using it for work tomorrow, but it doesnt look quite right with my coach brief case. lol.

after target, i got home just in time to watch idol. :( i was so sad. anwar is gone. booo hooo. i love him. :( booo hooo. i can't fight back the tears!!

Then i talked to my joey. its real bad. we talk every night on the fone. and neither of us have much of a life. so our conversations are pretty pathetic. what did u do today. I worked. u? class. how was it? sucked, how was work? it was work. o. (insert long silence). I am so glad we are almost done this long distance thing. its been really awful on both of us. and i can literally count the days left on my fingers and toes! but it makes it almost harder. each and every day without him drags for me. I only have to make it to May 5. He moves up here on that day, and we will be living in our very own apartment. omg. yikes!!! i am moving in with my fiance in like 2.5 weeks!!!! I think it just kinda hit me. holy commitment!!! lol. its gonna be a HUGE step for me, the ficklest girl on earth.

anyhow, i am melting, so i am gonna crawl onto my bed and fall asleep!

Friday

Friday was super exciting. I worked a nice long day. Met up with Liz. we ordered pizza and an appetizer sampler and watched movies... Raising Helen was actually really good. We also watched Puppetry of the Penis. Not so good. It made us both fall asleep after 20 minutes. we both woke up right at the end. Then I went home and fell asleep.

Saturday

I woke up pretty early and went to IKEA with my mom. We spent the entire day there. I got a bunch of stuff for my apartment. I got 2 fleece throws for 3.99 each!! I also got some pillows for my living room, a rug for my living room, and bunches of other things. O, and I bought my couch. My mom and I had a LITTLE trouble getting the couch into her jeep, but with the help of a nice man, we eventually stuffed it in. And we had a yummy dinner of sweedish meatballs at IKEA. Then we drove all the way home from Ikea (its in New Haven, CT, so it was quite a drive). We picked up my little brother and drove to my apartment and left the couch and rug there. Then, back to my house and off to sleep I went!!

Sunday

Sunday, I slept until 1. Then I got ready to go to Mohecan Sun casino in CT. My mom got free tickets to Rick Springfield, so I agreed to go. So, I played on the penny machines, where I won a jackpot!! lol, of pennies tho! we went to the concert which was super. Rick Springfield (sings "Jessies Girl") actually climbed into the audiance, and climbed his way right to where I was sitting. he stood in between my mom and me, dancing, and performed a few songs right next to us!! it was insane. he was pretty hot for an older guy. The concert was a lot of fun, even my mom loved it (tho i think she was hot for Rick!).
After the concert, we went back to the penny machines. I lost a little of my huge penny jackpot, but still went home winning a bit of money. wooo hooo. SUnday was a good day!!

Monday

Monday, I got up bright and early to meet up with Liz and Kathryn. They had a fun fair at work in the am, so we met at the Natick mall around 11, and did a bit of shopping. At limited, the suits I REALLY REALLY wanted (but couldnt spend 250 each on suits) were on sale. and by on sale, i mean 70 % off!!! I was so excited!! I got 2, a lite brown one with pink stripes and a grey one with pink stripes! its so cute!!
after the mall, we had lunch at the olive garden, soup salad and breadsticks!! it was so yummy. this whole working thing really screws me out of all the good lunches!!!!
after lunch, me and liz went to her house, and then headed out to do some errands. We stopped at Ocean STate Job Lot, where my favorite shampooo (the Orange got 2 be) was there. I was so excited, because I think its been discotinued, so I bought a bunch up. I also got a great deal on towels, bright yellow ones to go in my rubby ducky themed bathroom!!
We also went flower shopping and picked out some for liz's deck, then went home and planted them!!

Monday Night!

Monday Night, Liz and I went out to meet a few of the other bloggers for dinner and a movie!! We went to Chili's where we met Lauren and Krista. We had a great time chatting of yummy appetizers and margaritas. It was a blast. Then, we headed over to the movie theater to see the Amityville Horror, where Janet met us out. It was so fun meeting some of the other bloggers!! As for the movie, it scared the bajeezus out of me!!! I screamed my head off every 5 seconds. It was definately a great night and I look forward to getting together again!!

Tuesday

Well, I guess Tuesday wasnt technically part of the weekend. poo. Last night, my car alarm went off 3 times, and it kept waking me up and I had to shut it off. Luckily the remote actually works from my bedroom. I was home alone though, and had just seen that scary movie, so I was a little freaked out. And I still have no idea what was setting the alarm off (its a car I am borrowing until my car gets fixed, so I am not really familiar with it). So getting up this morning after a nice long weekend was paramount to torture!! But, alas, I got up, dressed in one of my cute new suits, drove to Dunkins and picked up a yummy chocolate banana latte, and headed off to work. Thank goodness for school vacations because I hit almost no traffic on my way into work (i left my house at 8:15 and got to work for 9. that never happens!!). Then I worked, came home, bummed around, and then I watched idol. Now I am here half watching House, and blogging away!! Yay for nice long weekends!!!
