INVASION OF THE PORTUGESE MAN O'WAR 2007 or Holy Crap I Posted Again!!!!

New Smyrna Beach, FL

I went to NSB this past week with my mom, stepdad, little sister and her friend. Here is a picture montage of my trip.

2006-11-20T17:38:00.000-05:00

And I'm Thankful For:

Here is my annual list:

I am thankful for:

My new apartment
Flip Flops
Homemade Raemon Noodles
Anticipated snow days
Jimmy's Olde Town Tavern
my students
Crystal Lite Raspberry Ice
St. John's Wort
My 4 loyal readers - thanks for sticking with me

WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR?????????

2006-11-15T21:21:00.000-05:00

NADA

So still nothing. I realize there are worse things in life that can happen - however, in my current selfish world, this is as bad as it can get.

Anyways - I moved. I live alone again. I love it!!!! Yes - I miss my sister, but we are both better off. I made 'Manda-tinis' tonight for myself and my friend that lives the apt. below me. Manda-tinis consist of Mango rum and limeade.

Heidi Flash has given me the scenario of "if you blog, he will come". I am not buying that.

I bought old school rabbit ears last night - and now I get enough TV to suffice. It provides me a little more entertainment than my record player.

Today brought a funeral and a fired teammate at school. AUGH!!!! I don't get paid enough for this crap.

Anyways - tomorrow is the Thanksgiving luncheon at school. And since my students acted like a bunch of turkeys while I was out at the school... my 5th grade students will be wearing homemade turkey hats at the luncheon. The punishment must fit the crime right????

WHERE IS THE SNOW???

32 and still don't get it.... (hence the name of my blog)
He hasn't called in over a week. I was down there 2 weeks ago and things were great. There was one little snag involving his cousin getting a little too cozy with me while HE was sleeping but I would think that wouldn't be my fault. I called him last Sat. from my parents' house to ask about Thanksgiving plans and that was the last time I heard from him. Well, actually, he called this past Saturday night while I was at SHIT AGM and I called him back a few mins. later and he didn't answer.

So, I left him ANOTHER message today and told him I wasn't calling him anymore and I think he is being a bit juvenile by not calling me. Still no response.

AUGH - well, such is life I guess. Any input??

2006-10-09T20:27:00.000-05:00

AND SO..... (this is dedicated to Heidi - even though she was MEAN to me at VAIH - LYMI)

I went to Batavia, Ny this weekend. It took me 12 hours to get there - normally 7 but I decided to go pick up my little sis at WVU. Well, I left at 3:15pm and got to my mom's house at 3:00am. AUGH!!!!
I got up at 8:30am to my mom's dog yapping like he was stuck in a chord. He wasn't, he had just SHIT outside my bedroom door and ripped the the garbage apart which involved coffee grounds.
I had a hair appt. at 11:30am. My hair looks crazy but that is what you get when you let a 20 year old from Batavia, NY do your hair. It's cheap....but still crazy.
I got back to my mom's around 3:30pm. We drank some wine and by some I mean ALOT of wine. My friends had planned to meet me out - so I went. DRUNK.
Then we went to another bar....
Then we went to T.F. Brown's... at this point... I decided it was my job to tell several people what was wrong with what they were doing. That went well.
Sunday - packed my car with my belongings for my new apt. Then went and looked at the cottages my parents are looking at to buy. LOTS of stairs...my step dad had a tick and I learned how out of shape I am.
My question is this: I asked my boyfriend (via my mother) if he would come for Thanksgiving and he said no - he has to go hunting. I was mad as first... but now I don't really think it's a big deal??? What do you think??? I mean, Metro, Cockspur and I are going to go to the World's Largest Disco that Sat.

ON-ON to a LONGGGGGGGGGGGG Tuesdau

Over summer vacation, I....

Well, I haven't blogged at all this summer because - well, my summer has been boring. I did go to the Jimmy Buffett concert which was fun - pics to come shortly. But I did go to Ocracoke, NC to visit the guy I met in Key West. He has just retired from the Coast Guard and they were having a party for him. TOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSS of fun.

Here are some pics:

2006-08-08T08:39:00.000-05:00

Baby pandas look like 'red rockets'

2006-05-03T19:45:00.000-05:00

KEY WEST OR BUST 2006 (finally)

It was girls trip to Key West and boy was it fun. Wanna know how fun?? Just look:

So we met this guy on the street - he told us a few good jokes but the picture was definitely worth the $5.

We met the crew of the USCG Decisive and hung out with them for a little bit.

There was the Captain - his name is Steve.

And there was Ryan

Here is Jim and Betsy at the Irish Kevin's Prom I guess.

Then there was Chuck - or as he liked to call himself - Shuck. Chuck was pretty much drunk the whole time. He used witty lines like " come back to my rack" and "stick your tongue in my ear."

Regarldess - I may or may not be going to see him this week in the outerbanks. It's apparently very difficult to get him to make decisions.

Well, I have more pics - but this entry has taken me almost 2 months to post, so I''m just gonna finish it up.

2006-04-03T21:23:00.000-05:00

UMMMM EXCUSE ME
CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE???

I would just like to say that I am going to Key West on Thursday. For 12 Yes 12 Days.

Don't hate the playa hate the game!!!!

PS - When the hell is the first camping trip that I would want to go to?

2006-03-20T21:52:00.000-05:00

PURGING

Well, yesterday I took two bags of clothes to the Goodwill box. Mainly clothes that are too big now - which is a good feeling. So this purging made me think of purging as a life style.

Moving helps a person to purge - I have this urge to purge some of my belongings, but I'm not moving for a while. My sister and I have a ridiculous amount of Christmas decorations. Not sure why - but I think it is because my mother does. She decorates the whole house - even the bathroom.

I have also been in a relationship that has come to a purge or not purge stage. We have gotten to a fork in the road - do we purge what we have or try to work on it?? He's fun and a lot like me. But as far as relationships go, we view them differently. Those that know me, know that I am pretty laid back - go with the flow kind of girl. He is about being a "couple" and doing what he believes is what couples should do. I am not a believer in establised rules for dating - everyone is different. Also, I am the type of person who kind of needs someone to tell me directly what they want, need, etc.... I am not a mind reader after all. I would love to be, but unfortunately am not. The other issue is that he believes that a boyfriend/girlfriend should do things that they think they other wants them to do even if that person is not up to it. I completely disagree with that. If I'm tired or not interested in something I think I should be able to say so. None of these unspoken expectations and rules. Why is it easy to make friends with people but difficult to make a relationship work when really all it is (or should be) is a glorified friendship. AUGH!!!!

Anyways - that was my thought for the day - purging. Now if only I could purge that thai food I had for dinner, life would be better.

17 days until KEY WEST with Metro Ho, Dick In The Eye and Maria.!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!

2006-02-27T19:04:00.000-05:00

And She's Back -
Hey all.... after a little hiatus, and some bitchin' from loyal readers, I am posting tonight.

After a long weekend at WISHHH and a jaunt up to the beau's house, I am exhausted. However, both were good. It was nice to see some (and not nice to see others) wankers this weekend - like Heidi Flash, Mrs. F*ck No, my main man Betel Geuse, Doc, Video X (even though she was REALLY reserved this weekend and no Flock of Seagulls impressions) skinny Ear Shot, Tinky, Porkey Mon, Hedgy, Craw Daddy (because he serenaded me with Jimmy Buffett at 2am), and many others - even Clam. Unfortunately I blew my wad Friday night and was broke down on Sat. There was toast, $70 pizza and beers, many true confessions like always, drunk Roofie, creepy hashers, stupid jokes, sex toy party, etc....

So anyways - things with Chris (the guy) are going well. We get along really well and are still feeling each other out. But seems like things are going to be good.

I just got invited to a baby shower for my best friend in NY on the 12th. AUGH!!! I just went home a month ago for my other friends baby shower (baby was born on the 21st). What to do, what to do.

So last week I got in trouble at work for having too many absences. I have missed 7 days since September. We are given 12 a year and they roll over. Anyways, my principal called me in her office and 'talked' to me about it. Now I have a dilemma. I am going to Key West in April for spring recess and was going to take a few wrap around days like I did last year. Do I tell the truth or lie????

2006-02-02T18:50:00.000-05:00

OH YEAH -
I finally hit my 50th "run" with the SHIT hash. And by 50 Udder means 75, since that is the number on the bandana he gave me!!!!

And for those that missed the P#ssy Control Hash - it was F-U-N. Or atleast the girls thought so.

It was worth the hangover and .4 lb. gain at weigh in.

I started a Biggest Loser challenge at my school. I am losing. Damn beer.

2006-02-02T18:17:00.000-05:00

Just Cuz Boozie said so....

I haven't blogged in a while. Just been sooooo busy. I hash on Tuesdays, teach an afterschool program on Weds. and Thursdays and just started dating someone new.

Well... let's see. I went to NY this past weekend for a baby shower. It was nice to see some of my friends since I didn't get to see anyone over Christmas. My friend Dawn is the pregnant one and looks soooo cute. I was never sure if her and her husband were going to have babies so its nice to see them sooooo happy about it.

I started dating Chris a couple of weeks ago. So far so good. The hardest thing is just getting used to dating someone on a regular basis. He seems nice. We have played pool, gone to Dave and Busters, had dinner at his place, he's come here twice and on Friday he is taking me to a work function at Maggiano's in Bethesda. THEN - I am taking him to the Caps game on Tuesday. So I am curious to see how he interacts socially. I think he will be okay. Oh yeah, he brought me tulips last week too.... see above. So we shall see!!!

However, now that I am dating someone all the old guys seem to be crawling out of the woodwork. Guy #1 text messaged and wanted to get together, Guy #3 was in Batavia while I was home, Moose call randomnly Tuesday night - haven't heard from him since November (he left a message that said "Hey you, its the Moose guy. Give me a call back on my cell - my number is 703 ummmm ummmmm ummmmmm ummmmm, well you know the number." - SOOO DRUNK). It's all funny to me.

So that is my life in a nutshell. I am looking forward to WISHHH. AND KEY WEST in April. Wooohooo!!!!

The groundhog says 6 more weeks of winter but where the heck is the snow??

2006-01-09T20:49:00.000-05:00

I need a Vacation -

So... this is my holidays in a nutshell....

Left VA on the 22nd. Drove to Batavia.
Got up early on the 23rd, drove to Rochester to finish (start for Betsy) my Christmas shopping.
Drove back to Batavia, changed, drove to Grand Island to celebrate with my dad's side of the family.
It went something like this:

Then it was Christmas Eve. We went out to dinner. It was fun. Then my mother and I came home and sang Karaoke until 1am.

then it was Christmas morning.
It went something like this:
This is my mothers Christmas tree And Betsy showing off all her gifts

Then my brother, sister in law and sick babies came over. There are no pics of my niece cuz she slept the whole time.

This one was taken for my dad - since he gave my nephew a DOLL for Christmas.

Then it was time for dinner - with crackers. An English/Canadian tradition. Inside is a paper crown, a prize and some jokes.

And then there was some of this - even though we didn't want it.

On the 26th, we went to my dad's house. We hung out, talked, drank some Flirtinis. Him and Donna gave me an Ipod Shuffle, engraved with SMAC on the side and filled with Jimmy Buffett songs - plus 3 CDs with like 500 songs on them. That was my favorite gift. (Thanks SMAC Daddy)

Then we were supposed to come back to VA, but we had to go to Canada for a few days as my step-father's dad died. So we did a little of this for a few days:

Then it was Happy New Years!!!!

"I'm Just not Over My Ex Girlfriend Yet" and questions from my sex education class

yep - I've heard that now twice in the past month. Why do guys "date" if they aren't over their ex girlfriends yet? I think its an excuse. The most recent one really threw me for a loop. He asked me to the movies, came to my New Years Eve party, took me out to dinner then said that. Sounds like he lost interest somewhere in there. Oh well. NEXT!!!

Okay now onto the questions my 5th grade girls asked during sex ed class:

1) Aren't we too young for this stuff?
2) Is it possible to stop after some eggs hatch?
3) How would you know your tampon size?
4) If your pregnant 4 like 9 months and sperm enters your body what happens?
5) Do prugnent ladies have a baly botton?
6) When the first people on the Earth were pregnant, did the child have to marry the father or their brother or sister or mom?
7) How does a mother that has triplets or twins carry them in there amniotic sac?
8) How do you know when the time is right?
9) Is fertilization painful?
10) How about if you are about to have a baby but you have sex again can you have another baby?
11) Animals do not have sex do they?
12) If you are holding your breath and you are pregnant will the baby be able to breath?
13) Can a women not have a baby ever?
14) Do you have to be married to have a baby?
15) Does anything strange happen while you are pregnant?
16) My mother said some guy had HIV and he was bleeding on his head when he dove in the water. Why didn't they close the pool?
17) Is AIDS when you get green blood?
18) What if you have constipation?
19) Is it bad to be adopted (like me)?
20) Can the baby think in the uterus?
21) What side of the pad do you put against your underwear??
22) If sex is when the mans peunis goes into the vagina then its not called French Kissing?
23) What if you have sexual contact with a person with STDs and you already have STDs?
24) Why do you get a baby when you get married?

So there - that is what I dealt with for a week and a half.

Stay tuned for a summary of my Winter Vacation.

Hear 'em singing 'Happy Birthday' Better think about the wish I make. This year gone byAin't no piece of cake. - Jimmy Buffett

So it was my birthday weekend. I started it off with some gifts from my students - a very oddly made calendar, but only contained the months of November and December from 2004, a bag of chocolate gold coins, a stuffed dog and an actually nice purple party lites candle.

I then went shopping and bought some new pants. Came home, got ready with Betsy and Tuppy and headed over to Money Penny's. That was fun. I stayed until about 11:30 then headed home. I had to get my rest for the BON JOVI concert compliments of my mom and Alan.

Sat. morning, Betsy brought me a Latte from Starbuck's and a piece of blueberry coffee cake. She gave me a gift card to Starbuck's and make up from Estee Lauder. I love it!!!!

We then got ready to head downtown for some margaritas and food. Carmen and Late Night joined us. We stuffed ourselves and headed over to the concert. We had great seats. Before the concert started you could send text messages to a number and they would post on the screen. That was cool.

Then HE came out. God, he is still sooooooooooooooo cute. It was soooo much fun. Here is a pretty bad picture from the concert...

After the concert we went to Douchberg and F Em Dano's party. Stayed there until about 3:30am and then had Kane drive us home.

Today, spent most of the day just being lazy. Wasn't hungover, just tired.

Overall, it was a great birthday. Now onto Christmas.

2005-12-11T18:01:00.000-05:00

You Know When You Just Need To Take a Break?

Doesn't make you a bad person, its just a personal need to take a break from something. I have decided to take a break for the every weekend partying thing. So the past two weekends, I have gone out on dates with a guy who lives in HAGERSTOWN. Yes, Hagerstown. He's nice - 38, but doesn't look or act it, is a fellow teacher and owns a beautiful house. We went to the bookstore, out to dinner, watched movies, cooked dinner, picked out light fixtures and went to the movies. No drinking involved. It was nice. Not sure anything will come of this, but its fun.

I bought a 9ft. artificial Christmas tree off of Ebay 2 weeks ago. It was for local pick up only, so I drove to Germantown to get it. I paid $45 for it - originally $250. Good deal - except it was just too big for the living room. So I tried reselling it on Craigs List, but no takers. So, I thought and I thought. I finally decided to try putting up just half of the tree. It worked. It looks nice too if I say so myself.

I like putting the tree up every year, because all of my ornaments are from places I have been.

For example:

Surfing Santa from my trip to Hawaii to visit Betsy.

The Christmas Armadillo from when I went to San Antonio for my friend Matt's wedding.

The skis from Mt. Tremblant ski weekend trip.

This from Mamma Mia in Buffalo with my mom, sisters and sister in law.

The Australia Christmas Nut - for my trip to Sydney for my best friend's wedding.

Well, back to work tomorrow for the last week of my life as a 31 year old. Bon Jovi and 32nd bday on Sat. Wooohoooo!!!

2005-11-29T21:25:00.000-05:00

SO HERE I AM AGAIN....
Phew... the holiday week was a whirlwind.
Here it is in a nutshell:
Weds.: Worked until 1pm. Came home, wasn't feeling well. Laid down to take a nap. My mom and step-dad dropped my little sister off to us and they continued on to Williamsburg. My sisters and I went out to dinner, it snowed. My one sister - I won't say which one, drank just about 2 bottles of wine. When we came home, this same sister proceeded to sing Karaoke ALONE and the other sister and I went to bed.
Thurs.: Woke up, drove to Williamsburg. Drank some wine, speed eating, then more wine, a trip to Walmart for a Karoake machine and some CD's. A little bit of this:

The blonde chick is my little sister. The other two were probably 2 of the cutest, funniest chicks I have ever met. The remainder of the night was spent singing. I spent the night at the Super 8 in the room I reserved for my sisters and I, but neither of them could make it.

Friday: Got up, drove back to Fairfax to prepare for my step dad's suprise 50th Birthday. We had 4 people from Canada flying in for the event. We had to shop, buy a tablecloth, clean, cook, prepare, set the table, etc... all done with a hangover and trying to keep it a secret from my step dad. We had told him that Valerie, Alli, Nick and Brian were coming over for a dinner party. So the time finally arrived, Betsy went and picked up the Canadians and I got my mom and little sister upstairs. They rang the doorbell and when Alan opened it they were singing Happy Birthday in French. It looked something like this:

Good times for sure!!!

Sat.: Just lounged around. Ordered Indian, Thai and Afghani. YUMMY!!!

Sunday: Everyone left.

So that was my holiday. I also got an email from a very good friend of mine. He claims he wasn't drunk... you be the judge.
"Hey everybody I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!! I lost touch with most of you, so hopefully we can get back in touch. Tommorrow I'm going to start searching for the bum I bought A Subway sub for last holiday season, but this year I'm going to get him drunk. I'm going to make it a tradition. He was so excited when I bought him a sub last year, I can't wait to see when I buy him a beer. Next year I'm buying him an X Box. I love bums. I think this could catch on, so everyone find a bum and get him drunk this year.Report back so I can hear how it went. Also this holiday season, everyone should find one midget and give them a piggy back ride. They love piggy back rides. They may seem reluctant at first, but they love it. If you do not feel comfortable doing this then forget about the bum, and get the midget drunk. Then have them give you a piggy back ride, it will make them feel good because you are treating them like a regular sized person. Another good idea for the Holiday Season is to find a Nun and ask her to make out. This may seem crazy but nuns are really horny. I made out with 5 nuns last year. I'm just trying to throw some ideas out there, to spread holiday cheer. If anyone else have some good suggestions please let me know."

That's all...

2005-11-20T21:22:00.000-05:00

SO IT'S BEEN A WEEK SINCE I BLOGGED...
Hmmmm.....
Well let's see.... not too much happened this week... went hashing Tuesday - drank WAY too much....
Met with my writing group on Thursday and finally shared my children's story I have been working on since March.... They really enjoyed it and gave me great feedback.

Friday night I stayed home - cleaned, blah blah blah. Moose called a couple of times. I didn't talk to him until Saturday afternoon. We just chatted about stuff...nothing big. Still weird to me.

Guy #1 is UPSET with me. I haven't heard from him for about 3 weeks. I had sent him a few text messages asking where he was, if he was okay, etc.... I also left him a message Tuesday night. Not sure what I said. He sent me a text message Friday saying that he was upset with me. That I assume too quickly and that we need to talk. So we haven't talked yet... but I am not sure why he is upset with me....

AUGH!!!

So now its all about cleaning, prepping for the weekend. My mother and step dad are coming down and they just told us they are staying with us and bringing their dog. ZOINKS!!! I guess I have to give up my bedroom for the weekend and we are putting the dog in a kennel.

2.5 days of work this week. Yippee..

Things I am Thankful for:
1. My laptop computer
2. My down comforter
3. Blue Cheese
4. My niece and nephew
5. My S.H.I.T. pants

What are you thankful for??

2005-11-14T21:05:00.000-05:00

NoTHing to REport

This weekend involved Happy Hour/drunk text messaging to Guy#2 and Moose. #2 responded with "I was a good boy." Hmmm.... my text messaging doesn't allow me to look back at what i wrote. Interesting. Tomorrow is his birthday, should probably wish him well. Moose called on Sunday and left a message that went something like this "Hey, it's Moose. Give me a call later. Actually not tonight I'm tied up. Call me tomorrow. No wait, actually, I will call you back on Sunday." WTF??? Needless to say, he didn't call back. I am not going to call him again. It's silly at this point.

Saturday I pretty much did nothing...Betsy and I watched some movies, bought some snacks and lounged. I did a little work and called it a night.

Sunday - worked all day. Dealt with drunk Betsy after kick ball party. That was fun - I think I answered the same question 4 times.

Oh y eah, I bought a Palm Pilot - the Z22. It's the cheapest one, but just what I needed.

So that's it.... made a great Weight Watchers Pasta Primavera tonight. Yummyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!

Oh yeah and some low fat Oatmeal cookies - made with apple sauce.

Anyone going to Bon Jovi on Dec. 17th???? That's my bday and I REALLY want to go.... (hint hint Betsy)

2005-11-13T16:54:00.000-05:00

Just Do It!!!!
