WEEKEND IN REVIEW

This weekend TG and I drove to New York to visit with a friend from New York who had a Valentine Baby. Shocker of all shockers, we actually stayed with my parents. The three and half hour drive to New York was fun, except for TG complaining about me changing the channel every five minutes. I can't help it, when I drive I like to sing along with the radio so i scan constantly until I find a song I can sing along with. I, also, got a little huffy cause he wanted the dog to sit in the front with him and I wanted him to sit in the back. Looking back that is the silliest thing to argue about. So finally we arrived in New York and spent about an hour talking with my parents and then looking at pictures of when my brothers and I were young. My parents actually let TG and I sleep together on the horribly uncomfortable sofa bed that actually broke on Saturday night. TG went to sit on the end of the bed and fell through (oh, I laughed my hiney off!!)
Saturday we went to go see my friend and her new baby. He was soooo damm cute. I held him for about two hours and, since he's going to be a thumbsucker but couldn't ocordinate putting his hands in his mouth without scratching his face, sucked on my pinky for about an hour. He is so cute and I have to say made me long for having a baby of my own.
Another huge plus of that visit was that we bought pizza over for lunch. I'm sorry but outside of New York, I just can't find good pizza and bagels (had them Sunday morning). It's just not possible, I've been trying. I think it has to do with the water.
Saturday, after the baby time, TG and I spent time with my family which included my mom, dad, brothers and one brothers girlfriend (who just happended to be in New York from Maryland for the weekend also) my grandmother and my aunt. We played a few hours of Imagine If and Apples to Apples. Two really fun games to play with a group of people.
Sunday after bagels, lox, creamcheese and herring, I sent TG out with my dad to the auto parts store. Yes, my boyfriend and my dad the retired ny city cop who hates anyone who dates his daughter went out together ALONE. They were gone for over two hours and TG said they actually chatted the whole time. Haven't spoken to dad yet to find out his thoughts on the outing. My mom, brothers and brother girlfriend stayed home to play games.
Then we hit snow panic! A friend of mine called and told me that it was horrible in Maryland so I paniced and left in a rush. I even forgot to say goodbye to my brother (MEAN HORRIBLE SISTER). Things were okay until exit 5 on the New Jersey Turnpike where I had a little panic attack while driving since I couldn't see the lines and there was no place to pull over safely to let TG drive. Finally I pulled over at the rest stop and made TG drive the rest of the wall. Well, all that snow panic and rushing and we arrived in Maryland to three inches of snow which of course i made TG shovel me out.
Overall it was a really good weekend and a huge first for me, bringing a guy home. Wonder if that means anything???? Scary isn't it? So how was your weekend?

It's my life

Hi Everyone! I know, I know it's been a while since I've posted and I'm sorry but nothing all that interesting has been happening lately. I haven't been smacked on the hiney in a gas station, bats haven't been applying for a new roomie position, no teeth have fallen out, it's too early for allergies, no new addictions, nothing. If you want to ready about any of those, well read through my archives.
Well for those of you who want to know how things are going in my boring life, here it is.

Job - okay. Very busy this week. I'll be traveling from school to school from morning to night thanks to Maryland being BIG wusses with the snow. Ok..Wednesday when we were stuck in ice, I understand schools being closed but two weeks ago when you could sweep the snow off of your stairs and walkway, Maryland Public Schools you had no business being closed. There are more things I could post about work but people from work read my blog and I'm not ready to go there yet.

Taxes - last year I owed WAY over $2500 to a screw up at my job this year I'm getting back $25. YEAH!!! I told my accountant that I booking my vacation.

Toyota Guy - Things are still going well. My friends keep joking about me having a Star Trek wedding, I keep telling them if they don't quit speaking, if and when I actually get married it's gold lame, feathers and a parasols for them.
For those of you who didn't miss the Star Trek reference. Yeah he's a trekkie. Scary isn't it? Who would think that I, Cosmopolgirl, would date a trekkie. I never even saw an episode of Star Trek until I met him. I have to admit it's not horrible, even maybe on the okay side but not good enough to be a cult and let me just tell you it is. You know that Weird Al song, White and Nerdy, well thats Toyota Guy. Don't think I'm mean saying that. He may have some dorky qualities but HE'S MY DORK!! (damm that sounds mushy)

House - Very cold and very expensive. My gas and electric bill is out the wazoo and I only have the house on 63 degrees. Let me just tell you it's a shivering 63 degrees and shouldn't be. The heat runs constantly. Turns out the circulator is broken so the water isn't circulating through the radiators. What does that mean you ask? Beats the heck out of me. All I know is that it's damm cold and my bill is way to high for it being this cold. My bill is 85 and the tropics not 63 and frostbitten. They sent someone out to look at it. Turns out i need a plumber. Week later they send someone new...STILL NOT A PLUMBER!!! Thursday someone else is coming. Let me just tell you if it's not a plumber, HEADS WILL ROLL!! and that head will be my landlord.

So that's it. That's an update on my life. Maybe a little later on in the week, I'll post more. I do have a Valentine's stroy filled with ice, fondue, stranded in Illinois and frozen buds but I'll save that for later.
