Wednesday i was all excited that we got let out of work at 3 because of the impending snowstorm. It wasn’t even snowing yet, just raining. Of course as soon as i got into my car it started to hail and then turned to snow during my drive. Which took forever, obviously. Just as i was coming up to my apartment complex, my brakes decided to lock up on me going down a slight hill and a plow...

He’s right, you know? Hores do have hore friends.
too funny not to re-blog
worst timed snowstorm of life
Seriously, if it’s going to snow and throw DC into a panic can it at least do it during hours that will get me out of work?
Rain in the morning, while it has apparently scared every school in MD, DC, VA, WV…, is not enough to keep me home today. i don’t even get a delay.
And then the worst part of the storm is going to hit during my commute home? Awesome. Thanks for that. As if...

Besides the fact that most...

A Weekend in the Tundra
Vermont was amazingly beautiful and amazingly cold. i wore 23493458345 layers (i even had two hats on!) and i was still freezing.
Anywho, here’s the sister pushing through the finish line. i know it’s far away, but she rocks. (She came in 3rd bee tee dubs.)
And here she is with her cheering squad. Look at our red wind-burned faces!
We even got to free ski with the speed racer :)...

today in crazy ladies at the gym
Damn you shitty gym in my building for only having one busted-ass TV for everyone to watch together. And damn you wacky old lady for beating me there this morning (i walked in at 5:30am so this is actually a little impressive) and hogging the remote and keeping the TV on the classical music station. i had my ipod so this would have been not-quite-so-bad except that the classical music station...
my future is bright you guys
i’m going to attend Youngstown Community College to become a softball player. i’m going to live in DC in an apartment. i’m going to marry Alejandro in Virginia and my honeymoon will be in the carrier dome. i’m going to have 17 kids and 1 cat and i’ll drive a silver pair of roller skates.
But, i guess i made out better than Sam. He’s driving a magenta canoe and...

Many of these are on the life list… probably not the 2011 list, but you know.
Why hello bucket list. Unfortunately, 2011’s travel plans have been mostly booked so these awesome destinations will have to wait, but they WILL happen.

Vacation Recap
Now that i’m officially back in the real world (though clearly not that busy at work in the real world) it’s about time i recap the last two weeks in which i got to spend quality time at home in NY and i got a visit from my college buddies.
Vacation started off with a super fun, super crazy joint birthday party for my bestest and her roomie. i think it’s extra lucky to get...
