I know I haven't updated in a long time...but I thought I would since I'm now ENGAGED! oh yea! I'm soon going to be Mrs. Dorothy Hionis Jr. :) I'm so excited. My mom is already in a panic about the guest list but we've got time. Our scheduled date is sometime in Sept of 07. Crazy!
Okay, so here's the details...It was the first day of Autum and we planned to carve pumpkins. I know everyone thinks its too early for pumpkins...but I DON'T! Anyway...we go to Lynvilla orcherds and pick out some pumkins then we stop by my house to give petey his eye drops cause he has a scratch on his eye and he might have to get surgery if it doesn't clear up. Okay....anyway after my house we stop by the market to pick up some ingredients so we can make a pumpkin roll for the EAGLES game on Sunday. After the market we go back to his house. I wanted to start making the pumpkin roll first but he insisted that we carve the pumpkins first. So i argued for a bit then eventual gave in. I ran to his parents house (which is right next to his...he lives in their in-law quarters). Asked his mom for some news papers so we could put it down before we started carving. She didn't have any and gave me a plastic bag to put down. He comes over because I've been gone to long and was like "there was something wrong with one of the pumpkins...I had to cut it open" I was like "WHAT??! YOU STARTED CARVING WITH OUT ME! i CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" So we get back to his appartment and I look in and i see black and I was like "oh you're right" and then I looked again and was like "oh...." and realized it was a box and then finally i realized it was a box with a ring in side and then an even bigger "oh!" came out. He got down on his knees and ask me "the question". I said yes...of course.
We then had to drive back to my house to give my parents the news. They were both totally shocked and suprised. They seem really excited about it....but my mom is already stressing. Then on sunday we went to his sisters EAGLES get together and drank some Dom Perion (or however you spell it). Good times. Okay thats' enough for my update.

So instead of writing my Philosophy final, I'm sitting here checking my myspace, livejournal and facebook accounts. me = loser. :)
So I finally accepted a job. I'll be working at KPMG in center city. I start sometime at the end of the summer/begining of fall. So I get the whole summer off. I'm so excited. I'm def. going to greece at some point. Anyway...the job seems pretty cool. I get pretty good benefits, a pension plan and 5 weeks off. They pay for the CPA exam and the review classes. The only downsides are that it is in the city...(don't get me wrong, I like working in the city, I just hate the commute and the wage tax) and KPMG is known for burning out their employees in the first two years. But when I spoke with my dad, he said to go with the big company and then if i don't like it will be a lot easier to transisition to a small company because the good name the KPMG has. Cause i really liked the other job at Belfint Lyons and Shuman, but lets say I don't like it there, it won't be as easy for me to get a job somewhere else, cause they are not as well known. And plus all the other offers, would only pay 1/2 of the CPA exam and wouldn't even cover the cost of the review course. So keep your fingers crossed for me. I pray that I'll last....I'm nervous! UGH! I hate not knowing whats going to happen.
I started working at Messages again (as I do every christmas season). Same old shit going on there. I'm still working at AE. Ican't stand the manager but everyone else is pretty cool. Me=Poor and i refuse to tap into my savings account because I'm a cheap bitch...but i'll thank myself later. :)
My birthday was awesome. Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. I had a blast with my SAT-C girls. sadly, I can't really remember the whole evening...which is suprising because i didn't drink that much. But my girls rock. JJ and his friend Casey came along as well. AWESOME.
So i need to start my christmas shopping, because I"m not waiting till the last min. like i did last year. I already got some stuff. Yea for me!
Alright, well my hands starting to hurt from typing, so I guess I should save some for my phil. paper. Stupid STIEB!

Yes, I know...its been a long time. And I'm sure nobody really even cared. I've been pretty busy lately. School this semester is okay. Nothing too bad or too exciting. The usual crap. But sometimes its hard to transition from co-op to school. Stupid homework...but great hours :)
So my job at American Eagle is pretty fun. I mean, its not the best paying job, but most of the people I work with are pretty cool and very laid back. Although, the schedule is a little fucked up. I go from working 6 hours one week to about 27 hours the next week. But whatever...I need the money and the discount. Saturday I had to work at over night from about 5:30 pm to about 4:30 AM and then on top of that the next day I worked the EAGLES game for Phi SIgma Pi. I thought I set my alarm for 9 so I could leave my house at 10. But I ended up never actually turning my alarm on. I woke up when Amanda called me. So I rush down there because Amanda said they were going to close the gates at 11:15. I'm basically beeping at people to move out of my way then ran the whole way to the stadium because the stupid shuttle bus stopped running by the time I got there. Thank Goodness Lindsey told the lady to wait for me. The worst part of it all, only three of us from PSP were there. Me, Amanda and Steph. Poor lindsey doesn't even go to widener or belong to PSP and she's there more than anyone. I was pissed because if more people would of went to the game, i could slept in a relaxed but of course not. But whatever...I digress.
I just had to give my dad a 1000 dollar check for my tuition payment for this semester. Now I'm literally broke. I have a 260 dollar car payment 60 dollar phone bill and then about 500 dollars on my American Express card and about 130dollars on my AE card and this list goes on and on. I don't even know what my two visa bills look like. I really wonder where the hell I'm spending all my money! So I'm putting myself on a budget. 40 dollars a week and that's it. At 6.50 an hour I can't really afford anything else. And I hate asking my dad for money cause he gets all angry and then gives me a speech about budgets. My mom is always willing to give me money, but I always feel bad because she never really has any to give me. So I usually don't take it...and make due. So wish me luck with my budget! Anytime I put myself on one...i tend to spend more than usual. But we'll see.
Lets see...what else is new....Oh yea...I've been going on tons of interviews for my full time job after I graduate. I've seriously been to five already and i have about 2 more left. I've gotten three call backs to go and visit the offices. And KPMG is offering a Casino night. I'm gonna feel really dumb going because I won't know anyone but I guess they want it that way so they can see how I interact with other people. Damn Interviews. Oh and I just want to make it known...that I DID NOT WEAR A SUIT ON ANY OF MY INTERVIEWS and I still got call backs! BEAT THAT STUPID BARBARA BUCKLEY. (she's the co-op director that told me I wouldn't get hired b/c I wasn't wearing a suit) It's not like I looked like shit...I was appropriately dressed! BITCH! NICE PATATOE SACK BY THE WAY! Get a suit that actually looks good bitch!
Ohh...the biggest news of all is that my main bouncer man BRADY is back in action at Duffers. I got to see him two nights in a row. Thursday and Friday. He's so freakin awesome. Such a sweet guy. AND HUGE! ;)
I really should get back to studying for my stupid Management, Politics and Strategies class. Which is bullshit because the teacher talks about shit for the whole class period with his stupid mole on the middle of his lip and his goddamn lisp! SO ANNOYING!! And I really think he doesn't like me because I got a bad grade on one of my MEMO's and instead of putting down constructive critisims on it...he just wrote down random numbers and then added them up to a 73. I have no idea what those numbers stood for. WTF! Then he tells me I can redo it...but doesn't tell me where I went wrong! O well...a 73 isn't that bad...I know I could do better but I don't feel like wasting my time w/ this bullshit. And on top of that we have to take a 2 day ETS test for Widener. WTF! It's basically a test on all the business classes you have and then they rate our scores and compare them to other schools. The worst part of it is...its worth 30% of our grade! WTF! How am I suppose to remmber 3 years of college! hahaha...I'm so fucking lazy.
I'm really excited about halloween this weekend. I want to be rainbow bright, but since I've waited so long to get my outfit I'm sure I won't be able to find a suitable one...so I'm gonna be Dorothy. I know I know...I'm dumb...but I figured I've held out for 21 years...I might as well get it over with. ANd I know it will be really easy to find.
Alright, now I can go!

You are Ursula, the Evil Sea Bitch! Fond of
collecting immortal souls, breaking up weddings
just for the hell of it, and usurping the power
of kingdoms through the trading of children's
souls for their parents. However, it's very
important that you not go power-mad and
transform yourself into anything more than
three times bigger than your usual size. It
never helps.
Which Disney Bitch are you?

WHOA UPDATE!
Okay, so my parents are down the beach for a whole week. Thank goodness! I needed a break from my mother! She was driving me up a wall...and I'm sure I was driving her crazy as well.
So my classes started today. My government and politics class seems pretty gay. Its a bunch of freshman so the professor decided to waste 20mins of my life talking about time management. UGH! SO GAY! I hate the first day of classes. You always have to sit through all the bullshit lectures of what the teacher expects and blah blah blah. But while I was sitting there I thought to myself I'm gonna actually take the time to STUDY this semester and see what happens. You know...like actually read my text books and stuff. So maybe I'll get a 4.0 once and for all. hahaha Or not!
So I got on my scale today and I lost 8 pounds but sadly you can't tell. :( LIke my clothes still fit the same. But I'm going to keep working out with the gliding stepper machine thing and hopefully I loose 20 pounds and be back into my highschool jeans :) We'll see
Let's see...what else is new....American Eagles is working out pretty good. I hate folding clothes but I like the people that work there. And the discount on the clothes...so worth it. I can't wait till i loose 10 more poundscause then I'm gonna buy more clothes (as a reward of course).
Alright, well I know this update was pretty lame but class is about to start soon. So I'm gonna get going.
TALK TO YOUS LATER!

So my vacation is going pretty good so far.
I went down the beach with Becky and her family for a few days. Went out to a couple of bars and hung out and I even learned how to CROCHE (is that how its spelled?) Anyway...I've started crocheing a green scarf. Its really sucky but...whatever its my first scarf. :)
So far, I've completed a couple things on my list. I got my car inspected, washed it and bought my trampline and started my excersize routine. Oohhh and I also made a doctors appointment. :) I still have to take petey to the vet, buy a new camera and make my orthodontist and gyno appointment. But so far so good.
I got a job at American Ealge Thanks to RAY! But sadly we can't work the same shifts :(. But I'm excited...I get discount off all the cool clothes :) Horay! I started the job today. Its not that much money but whatever, I saved my money from Elko and the people seem pretty cool. I finally get to work with my man DAVE! YaHoo!
JJ and I went to the Zoo yesterday :) Fun times! Afterwards we stopped by and visited Meredith. Oh man...we had fun time remanising about the band. We even pulled out the 2000 Gaint Stadium tape and got a good laugh. Afterwards we came back to my house and my mom cooked some food for us. Yum! Then we head to Zoi's and hung out and watch the Buffy Musical episode and just talked about old times.
Club Duffer tonite! With my ladies! I'm excited! Alright, well I really need to hop in the shower. I was just wasting some time till my mom got out.
BYE!

After EVERYBODY begging me to update...here it is....UPDATE!!!! WooooHOooo!!!
I have one more week of work left. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself for my 3 1/2 weeks off. This is the first summer in three years that I have off. Whoa! I just talked to Ray and he said American Eagle is looking for people since all the employees they have are leaving to go back to school. So hopefully, if everything works out I can work there on the weekends and a couple nights during the week to make some extra money and keep myself busy during the my last year of school. Crazy! One more year left! I'm totally not ready to graduate and move into the real world. But who knows...maybe a year we'll change that. And maybe since all my classes are done at 12 I can work for Mr. Kaffes from like 1-5 Monday through Friday or something like that to keep up with my accounting skills and have accounting related job to put on my resume. We'll see...those are my plans...but who knows what will actually happen.
So...as everyone knows and has updated...Chris McMullan died on tuesday morning. It's a real shame to loose someone so young. I went to the viewing on friday night. I got there around 7:30ish and didn't get out till 9:30. There were a lot of people there. As most young funerals. I wish, I woulda stayed in touch with him during the years...but people loose touch and what not. It was funny because his mom remembered me from elemntry school. Chris was my first boyfriend. haha and my frist date...and I had to beg my mom to let me go out with him, his mom, kevin lorello and tracey stabler. hahaha good times. But to save this journal entry from being long and depressing I'll try to think happy thoughts and pray for his friend and family. :(
The other day, I lost the top of my belly button ring, so in order not to loose the rest of it, i took it out. Well not even 24 hours later I tried to put it back in...and the bottom hole closed up. :( I'm sad. I didn't think it would close up that fast...i've had it done for a year. Well I think it was a year...or maybe more....either way...it shouldn't of closed up that fast. I know I should just man up and push it through, but I can't self inflict pain on myself...i'm such a baby. Owell...I'll just get it repierced next summer or maybe not even...I don't know...i just know my stomach looks empty with out it. I was so use to it. But no big deal.
I finally finished Scrubs season one on dvd! I'm sure LeeYawn would be very proud of me. I love that show! Now i have to go find season two! Wooo Hooo!!! JD!!! awesome!
So this weekend was fun...minus the whole viewing thing...but that just puts life in perspective. I went down to A/C with JJ and his family. We took a nice walk and watch Guess Who with ASSShton Kooter. The movie had a few funny parts but overall...a movie that I would never want to see again. In the morning we attmepted to go to church but only made it in time for the andethero and coffee hour. ooops! Afterwards we went to a diner and got some food. Ahhh big greek families...gotta lov'em.
I think I'm going to make myself a list of things to do while on vacation so when I start school everything will be done. I need to get my cell fixed, a new camera phone, get a part time job, get a new passport, wash my car, clean out my room/closet, maybe do something different with my hair, start a new excersize and diet (i know I know...i say this all the time, but it is worth another shot). Oh and get my car sun visor fixed and get my 7500 mile maintance. Etc Etc. I was also thinking about rearranging my room...i need to do something different. But I'm not sure what yet. Hmm...so many things to do...but knowing me...i probably wont' do any of them. I'm such a bum...but again, we'll see what happens.
Alright, well I should get started on my room...more boring updates to come.

Well, I'm sad to say I'm back to work. :(
The week at the beach was tons of fun. The week started out pretty crapy but ended on a good note. Most of the week it was just Me, Nick and LeeYawn but we got a couple visitors here and there which made for fun times. I can't wait to get my pictures developed they should be pretty hilarious.
Top 10 moments at the beach (in no specific order)
1. Anne lost her cell phone and steve found just her battery
2. Nick using the polar bear line and it actually working
3. Me getting hammerd and being put to bed by 12:30
4. Christina in the ocean!!! JELLY FISH!
5. Ray coming down :)
6. LeeYawn and I getting free drinks and free amstell lite visors
7. Playing Malarky and not being able to read. BINO CIRCULARS
8. Beating Nick in beer pong twice :)
9. Hearing the stories I missed while past out about the night at the OD with Green Genes
10. Singing at the top of my lungs on the ride home with Kate! Yea Kelly Clarkson!!!!
There were much more fun times but those were def. the best moments.
Saturday was Jen's wedding and my first American Wedding. It was a blast. I don't think they were putting enough Malibu in my coke but I made do. I got to meet Tara finally....she's super awesome. I was expecting not to like her cause she's dating curl and he's like a big brother to me but I couldn't help myself. She's so nice. Anyway, I got to put the garder on frank's leg. Ray's cousin who was about 13 caught the bouquet and then frank caught the garder and so not to invoke Megan's law the got the idea to have Ray's cousin put the garder on frank but she was too shy and handed the garder to me and I did it. I felt bad because steph was coming to the front to do it...and I had no clue...so I put the garder on frank and then Ray's family made fun of me for the rest of the night saying "whooa! you ran up there rather fast!!" Which was not true...Asheley gave me the garder and yes, I did run up there...but if she didn't give it to me...I wouldn't of done it. Sorry Steph! It woulda been much cuter if you did it....! Oh and congradulations again! I have to come over and see the ring!!!!! BLING BLING BABY!
After the wedding we headed to Duffers. We ran into J.J and Gavin. Anne and I stayed down stairs most of the night. I was trying to get annie some man ass. hahahaha j/k. Annie ended up getting a free miller lite shirt. They asked you what was important to you this summer and then they wrote it on your shirt. I wanted to get titties on mine but they said it had to be G rated so then I told them I didn't want one. They only had two sizes small and x large! Discrimination!!! I needed a medium! Damn Miller Lite!!! haha either, way I had fun :)
Alright, well i better get back to work.

Nothing better than a four day weekend :)
Friday, I wasn't feeling too good so I called out of work. Good call on my part. Friday night, I went up to Rich's for a "suprise party" but it ended up just being a party with out the suprise because some friends squiled (spelling?). Afterwards Ray and I went to Bootleggers for Kate's 21rst birthday bash. A bunch of people were there...and I (as usual) had gotten myself pretty intoxicated. On the way home we got stuck in a traffic jam for like 45mins...I slept the whole time. I woke up with sleep lines on my face from Ray's pants and I also left him a little puddle of drool as well. tehehe oops. Poor Ray got so bored he ended up callin LeeYawn who was following us to my house because he was sleeping over. hahaha...I don't remember any of it. We get to my house and I escort LeeYawn to his sleeping corders (spelling?) aka my yiayia's room and then I went to bed and pass out.
Saturday morning LeeYawn and I made Nick and Minkus Desperation Sliders t-shirts for their graduations and then Bowker and Ray came over and then we picked up Anne and headed out to Enola PA (middle of no where). Nick's parents were super nice. We played some wiffle ball and I suprisingly hit the ball. We also played a game called boicci ball...well I didn't really played I kinda just watched...it looked to boring for me. Then the beer pong began and I as usual sucked major ass. But it's cool. I made my usual one cup per game. The food was excellent (horay for Italian cooking). Nick's dad woke us up to the sounds of Loui Armstrong's Wonderful World :) We ate some breakfast and watched Harold and Kumar go to White Castle and then we left.
Sunday I got home around 2ish and got ready for Dina's wedding. It was pretty cool. Dina looked super awesome and Loreen actually made it to the wedding :) We all have to thank Baby Nicholete for waiting an extra day. I was really excited about the music. There was not a song all night that I didn't like. They had some guy playing a guitar in the cock-tail area and he was awesome! He played some david grey, john mayer and DAVE MATTHEWS! Soo goood!!!
Monday J.J. and I went to Zoi's for a bit and then back to his place. We watched some Legend of the Hidden Temple and then Orgazmo. Pretty good movie. We played some scategories with the family and WE WON! Then I headed back to Zoi's. Again she has an awesome pool
Tuesday and Wed. was the DMB Concert! So much fun! I love tailgaiting! I will fill in more details later...but for now I have to get to work!

I actually got to work on time today :) Wow! For some reason I'm really tired today...mentally and physically. Usually by the time I get to work I feel awake and refreshed but today, I'm just dragging. UGH! And on top of that, my throat hurts! Wha Wha Wha...
Last night, Anne, Ray and I went to Penns Landing to see Gavin DeGraw! He was awesome. Michael Tolcher and Howie Day opened for him. I love that kind of cheesey gushy lovey dovey music. Freakin' beers were 6 dollars! 6 fuckin dollars! WTF! Of course, me being the shmuck that I am bought 2. Anne got this really gross Bay Brease that tasted like someone threw up and then they tried to water it down. O man! GROSS. But all in all the concert was a fun time. Andy missed out. He was MIA. O well...he probably would of been to hung over anyway. (he just turn 21 on Monday)
This weekend was pretty cool. I'm trying to remember what I did....Friday I went to see West Side Story at the Walnut Street Theater. I found out my friend Matt Conte was in it. Awesome! Saturday...I hung out with Zoi and we went to Jakes. Also a good time. And Sunday I went to Katina and John's wedding. Thankfully J.J was there and I had a blast. Of course the greek rumor mill has begun...so maybe I will no longer have to sit at the singles table. ;)
I can't believe I'm going to miss out on Live 8. But Nick's grad party will more than make up for it :). Let's see I have a busy week coming up. Thursday Annie Landers is having a party at her place, I hope the Mel brothers are gonna be there. Friday it's Rich's party and then I'm gonna head down to Bootleggers for Kate's birthday bash. Saturday is Nick's. I think LeeYawn will be sleeping over on Friday night after Kate's so then we can leave from my house to go to Nick's and we can avoid the grid lock of Philly. Sunday I have Dina and Ryan's wedding. Then I have monday off :) Horay. Tuesday and Wed I have the Dave Concert. Man, I'm going to be so beat. But I'm excited. Next time I update...hopefully it will be with how great of a time I had. :)
Okay, well as usual I have to get back to work. Hopefully I can make it the whole day. I need something to wake my ass up. Maybe I'll get some Green Tea from the Kitchen. I heard that gives you an energy boost. :)

It's the first day of summer and I have a freakin' cold. I feel a little better today. My throat is still a little soar, but now my nose is getting stuffy and my ears are all sorts of clogged. It sounds like I'm in a card board box when I talk (if that makes any sense).
Well I can't remmeber what I last updated with. But last Sunday Nick, Leeyawn, Anne and Kate came over for diner. My mom was super excited to meet the philly guys. She was very shocked at how polite they were. And thought it was very cute they brough a cheese cake with them. She thinks LeeYawn looks greek and refuses to admit he's actually brown. :) Oh mom.
This weekend was pretty uneventful. Friday Ray and I headed down to Johnathon Illuzzi apartment down by Christiana Delaware for his birthday. It was pretty beat. Curl, Justin and Dana were there but playin' cards can kinda get old. And johnathon really reminds me so much of his mother. We all had to have coasters down on the tables and he put a plastic mat down under the table just incase any spilage occurs. He's mother has trained him well. Jonathon's girlfriend is pretty cool. And his new apartment is really nice. I hope when I get my first place, it's like that.
Satruday the family and I headed up to Long Island New York. My cousin Collin was graduating Cornell and my cousin Jenny was graduating HighSchool. I'm sure the grad party would of been fun if I knew more that 5people. My uncle Scott and Richard were there. The older my dad's family gets the more alike everyone looks. And I never knew my Uncle Michael came from a big family too. 8 freakin kids that all look alike. Crazy stuff. My dad made me drive the whole way home as he snored his head off in the back seat. We got home around 1ish and I went right to bed. I was so beat.
Sunday the family and I headed to church and then had the Coastalas over for a father's day diner. YUmmy porchops and applesauce. Afterwards I headed to J.J's new digs. We watched some movies and then I went home. Ray came over and kept me company. It was nice.
Monday I skipped out on work because my throat was on fire. I did absolutely nothing all day. I didn't even take a shower until 9pm. I did catch up on my soaps though. I can't believe Beth is Alsters daughter. Now that's some crazy stuff.
Alright, well I better find some work to do before I get introuble.

Thursday night, I had a little get together at my house. My parents were down in Washington so I decided to invite the Philly guys over. And I didn't want them to get bored, so I called some other people. Next thing I know....Brazil, BJ, Czyczyson, Rielly, Jacob Marge, Matt Rodgers and the whole 2003 class were over my house. Even Mike Knight showed up. Everytime I have a party, he's here...and I never know how he finds out about them. It's coool though, he's always a fun time. Christina came over, thinking it was a small gathering in her sweat pants and t-shirt. Lets just say she got more than she bargained for. After about 4/5 shots of whiskey she was on the groung....literally. Even when compelety hammard, Christina and throwing up perfusly she is the nicest and politest (is that even a word) person. Chick-a-dee. Thankfully Nick was there to take care of her. Ray and I were on Annie duty. She was beyond wasted. I've honestly never seen anyone that drunk in my life. I'll spare the details, but lets just say she woke up in my parents bed, which is not where we left her, with no shirt and no memory of how she got there. Zoi, Julia, Tony, Becky and other random people were over as well. I think this is the last time I throw a party. Cleaning up was a bitch. And then Friday night I get a txt from Czyczyson asking if I was having another party...umm...no!
My weekend was pretty calm after that. Friday I was over Ray's house and Kate came over...I basically slept the whole time. Saturday....ummm...oh yea...my uncle Nestor came over and we ate some diner and caught up. Saturday night, Ray and I went bowling. I bowled a 90! YEA!
Sunday I had Loreen's baby shower at the concordville and then right after that I had the AHEPA scholarship banquet and the Concordville as well. Talk about a long day. At the scholarship banquet I had to give an speech, which I wasn't prepared for. I never had to give a speech before at this function...it was awful. My voice was all shaky and I was saying the stupidest things. I'm mean come on now...I'm gonna be an accountant...I'm not good a public speaking.
Tuedsay, Andrew, Kate, Ray and I headed down to Wilmington to see Kevin James. OMG! Hilarious. Of course I pulled a me and left my wallet at my house with my tickets in them. I'm such an ass...but the lady at the ticket booth just printed me another copy so everything was cool. Kevin James made me laugh so hard my stomach hurt. His opening act was pretty funny too. I was a little dissapointed he didn't stay on stage longer. But I guess talking for an hour can get pretty tiring.
Wed. My brother and I head out to west Chester to meet up with J.J. at Kildare's. It was my frist time. It was a pretty cool place but it was really loud...they had some really bad band playing so we left and went to TECA. Anne met up with us there. But there last call was at 11:30 which was pretty gay, so then we went down to Ryan's pub. All in all a fun night.
Alright, well I have a lot of work to do today so I should stop wasting time writing in this...I just can't get motivated to do my work. UGH!

Oh man...where do I begin...
Friday, Anne and I headed UP to Philly to meet with the PECO people for Nick's last day of work. I met up with LeeYawn to borrow his ID to park in the PECO lot and then we walked over to Roosevlts for their Happy Hour special ($7.00 all you can drink from 5 to 7). We sat, we talked, we played drinking games. It was a fun time. Around 7:00, when the specails were over we all decided to roll out. As soon as we walked outside I was shocked to see it was still bright out and I was as drunk as I was. Anne kept yelling about how she couldn't see and whipped out her super cool sun glasses. I don't know why, but it was hilarious at them time. I guess it was the alcohol talking. So as we are walking a decision was made to go out to TIKI BOBS since I've never been. So we walk up to Market Street to grab a cab and Anne decides she really really has to go to the bathroom. Well we happen to be standing right infront of the FORUM....for those of you who don't know what the FORUM is....it's a porn shop. So I make the brillant move to go use their bathroom. Turns out...not so brilliant...
We go in to use the bathroom and the guy at the front desk hands us the toliet paper. We use the bathroom and everything is fine...minus the fact I dropped the toilet paper in the sink...but no big deal. On the way out...I give the man at the front desk the wet toliet paper and we roll out. Nick grabs us a cab and we are on our way to TIKI BOB's. I then realize, half way to TIKI BOB's, that my phone is missing and for some reason believe that LeeYawn has it. We call him and he doesn't...then we tried calling my phone and some dude picks up. I LEFT MY PHONE AT THE PORN SHOP!!!!! I told him we would come back and pick it up but he informs me he is no longer there...well I don't feel comfortable meeting this guy somewhere so I told him to just keep it and I'll get a new one! Who does that! I'm such an idiot. I think this is by far the stupidest thing I've ever done! No more Happy HOUR!
Anway, we get to TIKI BOBs and its pretty empty...at least from what I can remember. Drinks were only ONE DOLLAR so I was sucking them down. I remember dancing...A LOT and then all of a sudden we were leaving. We went to the Blarney Stone where I was officially the creepy drunk girl falling asleep at the table. I hate those girls, and that night I was one of them. I'm so embarrassed. I didn't really say much or anything...I just kinda sat there and was dosing off. I probably looked horrible and reall sick. So LeeYawn decides its time to take me home. All I remember on the walk home was seeing James Pilani and repeating his name over and over again and then eating Taco Lou's. We get back to Nick's and I totally pass out. I wake up and realize I never called my mother to tell her where I was and it was after 2am. So I find Anne's phone and call her...I then go to find LeeYawn and he is no where to be found. I go to Nick's room and Bill is sleeping in Nick's bed, I go to LeeYawn's room and Stacey is in LeeYawn's bed. I finally find LeeYawn, with thanks to Elizsha, in Bill's room. I'm totally searching through his Pocket for his ID and he finally wakes up and gives me a ride to my car and lets me out of the parking lot. It is not easy waking up drunk people! Nick never even woke up...I kinda just pushed him and left him in an awkward position on the coach...he was complaining about a soar neck in the morning...oops!
Overall..I had a blast but I don't think I'm ever going to become that drunk girl again. I make fun of those girls and think they are so stupid....and on friday night I was one of them! Shame on me!
Saturday went a little more smoothly. In the morning I went to the Dry Cleaners and helped clean the place out. Afterwards I went with Ray to go get my new phone and then we went over to his Aunt's house to see his new Godpuppy Ray! AWWWWWW!!! Cutest dog ever. Afterwards we headed up to philly with Anne to visit Joe Gates and Rubs. It was a little weird because the place was really small and kinda gross and there were all these weird people there. So finally we roll out and head to LeeYawn's and watch some Chapell Show and then we headed out to some kids appartments. We played some card games and beer pong. I got a good buzz on and then around 2ish we headed home. :)
Sunday, I went to church and then was planning on going to the beach with Annie and my brother. But then Kenny says there was no room for all of us, so I changed my mind. I didn't want to go with out my brother. Then finally when we made other plans...Kenny says its cool and he would make room but by then...I don't know...we just didn't go. They were already drunk and by the time we woulda gotten there they probably woulda just passed out. So, Ray my brother, anne and I head to see "The Longest Yard" and the we went out to Duffers for some diner. I recomend the movie and a Duffers crab cake! soooo Goood! We decided to stay there for the rest of the night, so we headed down stairs to find out E-Money was working! YEA!!!! We drank a bit and met up with Christina, Andy and California. I was trying to find my girls some boys and I think i almost made a potential hook up! I'm so awesome! I love pimpin my girls out. j/k.
Monday I went to the cemetary for Memorail Day. It was really hard for me to hold back my tears when we went to my cousin Adam, Euginia and Markella's graves. I had no problems not crying at my grandfather or uncle's graves but something about loosing young people really hits me hard. Euginia would be 22 this year...scary. After the cemetary, the family and I headed out to the Skoutelas's for a bbq. I love the Skoutelas girls, they crack me up. Dina and Ryan are so cute together and Loreen makes the cutest pregnant girl. She's so tiny! Katrina even stopped by for a little bit. It was fun. I finally left around 7 and headed to zoi's. Her freakin back yard is so awesome! It feels like your at some sort of resort! We swam a little bit and then talked with her brother and Lauren about how people talk in their sleep. hahahah it was a pretty good conversation. Guess...you had to be there.
And now...now I'm at work. I just got my old phone activiated until my new one comes in...if that ever happens. I have to file a police report in order to get my phone insurance to send me a new freakin phone! what kinda bullshit is that. I freakin called my police department and they told me to call the jurisdication it happen in...so I called the Philadelphia police department and they tell me to call 911!! 911 for a freakin lost phone?!?! So I did...and they told me they would come out and file a claim for me. What kinda bullshit is this. I just wanted to report a claim over the phone and get my claim number so I can get my new phone! I am honestly never going up to happy hour with out some sort of parental supervision ever again! I'm such an idiot. O well...you live...you learn.
Alright, well i now this is long and boring and most of you don't care about my weekend, but I had to write it down somewhere because I don't want to ever forget it.

So, it's Friday morning and I have absolutely nothing to do at work today. I'm glad it's memorial day weekend! No work on Monday!!!! I don't really have any big plans this weekened. Tonite I'm going to Happy Hour for Nick's last day at PECO. Saturday we are closing the dry cleaners and then I'm heading to Drexel to visit Ray's friend, Joe Gates. Then Sunday Anne and I were talking about heading down to her brother's beach house for the night and we would come back Monday afternoon. So, those are my plans but who knows if they will all really happen. I'm good at making plans and not following them, but there is nothing wrong with playin things by ear either.
I can't believe the Dry Cleaners is actually closing. What's even more unbelieveable for me is the fact that we've had it for a whole year. I remember when we first got the place and how much I hated it and resented my mom for getting it. But now, I'm kinda sad to see it go. I still don't like working there but it gave my mom and brother something to do and somewhere to go. But my mom could use the time off and she is still going to be doing alterations, just at the house. But now my brother is left with only his part time job. So everyone keep your fingers cross in hope that he will get a full time job with benefits one day.
So I was really bored yesterday too and started googling people's name on the internet. I found out that my great grandfather was a fashion designer for Lord & Taylors. Crazy! I went home and ask my mom about it and found out it was true. He was off the boat Italian and never taught his kids (my grandfather) italian because back then Italian's were the bottom of the barrel. I think that's sad. Noone should be ashamed of their roots. And now i'm missing out on speaking or knowing more about my Italian side because of people's biggatry. I was thinking about takin an Italian class at school but I ended up taking some required ECON class instead. Stupid college requirements.
Alright, well I have nothing really to say today other than I'M REALLY REALLLY BORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have about 15 mins of work left and I can't wait to run out of here. It took me three days to complete a simple one day assignment but whoever put the original balances in the trail balance did them all wrong so I had to go back and fix it after I finally realized why my accounts weren't coming out right! ARG! But I'm finally done :)
This weekend was a blast. Friday I went over Ray's and we watch Princess Diaries 2! I know...I'm a loser. But I needed a night to relax. Thursday Becky, Anne, Christina and I headed to Brownies to see Reno's band. We met up with the Philly Crew and had a blast. Christina is quit a dancer. Of course 3 Malibu & Cokes, 1 Rum & Coke later I was out dancing myself. UGH! It should be out lawed. I suck, especially dancing next to miss hot pants christina. haha :) But who cares, everyone was drunk and having a good time...we all got a good laugh out of it the next day. Reno was there and so was christian and Lauren. I feel bad cause everytime i talk to them, i'm drunk. But....it's 50 cent drafts and 75 cent drinks...who wouldn't be??? Lauren invited us over for a BBQ but sadly christian got sick and she had to cancel. Maybe next time.
Saturday was pretty fun. I went over Ray's for a little bit and watch a King of Queen's marathon then headed home to get ready for my cousin's engagement party in A/C. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting but then again...it wasn't that great either. Everyone was asking the "when are you getting married, do you have anyone specail" questions. I hate that...no I'm not ready to be married! I can barely take care of myself! After the engagement party I headed to Nick's for their Ghetto BBQ. I had a blast. Someone even believe LeeYawn and I were adopted siblings with Asian parents....haha. The night got a little hazzy but I remember waking up to Nick's brother wheasing in my ear...literally. So I moved myself to the couch downstairs and talk to LeeYawn till Mommy and Daddy dearest picked me up.
Sunday I had to go to my churches anual diner dance. UGH! But I ran into a couple of people I haven't seen in forever. And some of the waiters were really hot. I ate some really really good crab cakes...I love the concord ville inn's food. then danced a lil and was out. I missed most of desperate housewives but Ray and Anne caught me up.
I just found out Amanda got us a beach house for the summer. From July 16 through July 23. I'm so excited. If anyone is interested in staying with us let me know and I'll give you more details. It's going to be so much fun...we are a block from the beach and 1 or 2 blocks from all the cool bars. YEAAAA!!! Now that means I have to really start my diet. I'm on week 2ish...going on three. I've lost the weight I've recently gain but thats about it. So I'm back to my original 135 and ready to get down to at least 125 before the beach. I know that doesn't sound like much...but I don't want to set my goals to high...I just want to get a bathing suit without a grandma skirt attached to it.
Alright, it's 5:00 and I'm out. More updates later.

Weekends are way to short. And I'm ready to take vacation time but I don't know if Elko is planning on keeping me after co-op session or not. If not, I don't want to take a vacation because I'm trying to save all the money I can so when I'm not working I'll be able to pay my car payments and insurance. Ugh! I hate growing up. What happened to those days where your parents paid for everything?
My weekend was pretty exciting. Nothing out of the ordinary but definetly a fun time. :) Friday, Anne and I headed up to Joe C's for his 21rst birthday celebration. I printed the wrong directions out and didn't realize it till we were halfway there so I made Anne call Joe but he was already wasted and his version of the directions was "just keep going" haha...keep going where? So he handed the phone off to Matt who gave us better directions :). We didn't really know that many people and the people we did know were already flagged before we got there so Anne and I didn't stay to long. We ended up at Duffers and hung out with Kimmy and Andy. I miss Andy and the funny thing is I'm always over his house. The only time I would see him is when he'd come downstairs in his boxers looking for his work shirt. Anway, I found out my favorite bouncer Jeff is leaving to play professional baseball in Conneticut. I'm going to miss him. OHHH man...like a rock!!! I'm glad I was there for his last day though....I knew we ended up at Duffers for a reason. Oh and I finally found out that kids name that always wears the hat...Joe (i think ? haha). We were talking about Bonaroo! I really want to go one year before I get too old. Oh and of course the omish man, Ishmill was there and I found out thats what everyone else calls him too. I thought it was just me!!! This guy looks like ISHMIL from King Pin. He comes in everytime we're there and plays pool. I think his real name is Dave or something.
Saturday I went to Dina's bridal shower. I've never seen so many presents in my life. She opened them pretty fast and we played those cheese bridal games. They did a really cool story using household items and fill in the blanks at the end. I thought it was really clever. I'm glad Dina and Ryan are getting married, they are so cute together.
Later on that night Anne and I headed out to Duffers yet again. We were planning to sit under the palm trees but didn't know anyone outside so we went downstairs and ran into Steve, Sierra, Ober, Michelle Pearson, Craiger, Kim Mat and Andy. There was some sort of drama going on with Bill's friend and his ID but I wasn't really following so Bill and Bill left. I got a little drunk and was talking up a storm to anyone that would listen. I had a really fun night. Anne spotted these guys from across the bar that were there the night before so we went over to talk to them...I tried to help a girl out and left her alone so she could get to know one of the guys so I said I had to go to the bathroom and handed her my beer to watch. I took my time heading back over after the bathroom to give her more time. Andy and I were talking and next thing I know Anne is behind me.
ME: "what happened?!?!?"
ANNE: "we weren't talking"
ME: "Annie I left you over there for a reason, now go back and talk to them!!! Wait...where's my beer?"
ANNE: "ummm...i left it over there?"
ME: "WHAT!!!!??? I told you to watch it"
ANNE: "OOPS"
ME: "Who does that?!, You don't leave your drink unattended especailly with two guys you don't know anything about"
ANNE: "sorry..."
ME: "you have offically lost your drink watching privalages!!!!"
Well I think the conversation went somjething like that. SO I dragged Anne back over and they scored her number! Go ANNE Go ANNE! Everyone was giving us a hard time for talking to those guys...but it was good clean fun!!!! :) And it was all for Anne!! After last call I was talking to Kenny (the bartender who is now as cool as Eric) He showed me his super cool tattoo! But I swore him I wouldn't tell anyone where or what it is...but its hilarious. :) Speaking of E-money...I miss him...he needs to start working weekends again.
Sunday I woke up and went to church and then ran out to Linens and Things to pick up Jen's last minute bridal shower present. I got her the martini set or something like that and a 25 dollar gift certificate. I picked Janet up and we headed to the shower. It was cute. The food was super awesome. I pigged out on the pepporoni dip and patatoe salad. OH MAN!!!!! I'm so hungry right now. After the shower I went over my Nona's house for her and Lauren's brithdays. Zoi's new pool is up and it super sweet. It's like her back yard is a hotel or something. They have the lounge chairs and tables and even a bar. Her deck is huge ! I'm so jealous. I can't wait to spend my summer lounging out by the pool. YESSS!!!!
Today, I've done nothing productive at work...well that's not true I made myself a to-do list that I can hopefully finish before the week is over. It mostly consist of cleaning stuff and paying bills. I'm the queen of making to-do list that i never follow. So I hope I'm going to complete this one. :) Wish me luck, its pretty long. I'm hoping I'm going to go home and be motivated enough to start the list...but we'll see.
