This & That

so a few days ago i drove out to boston to meet up with jenny B to see chelsea handler. she was quite hysterical for those of you wondering. i felt bad laughing at all the racist comments, but i couldn’t help myself. i rather enjoyed heather macdonald. she does a mean impression of drew barrymore.

before the show though, JBP and i wandered down boylston st and had a couple of cocktails and lunch at Solas where we met up with LK, JN and JK. i hadn’t seen JN & JK in i can’t remember how long. it was nice to see them and catch up. later on we wandered down to the cactus club with KT and HS in tow too. i had a very sour mojito.

after the show JBP and i traveled down to the cape to JBPs house. i hadn’t seen it since the first day they were moving in, so it was completely transformed, i loved it!

after a delicious breakfast i drove home.

here are some pics. apparently KT was in the bathroom when i took these.

so tonight i saw the aforementioned movie.. i was not expecting it to be as funny as it was.. i thought the movie was great! but rob corddry was A+. he really made the movie, and has earned the status where i will see anything he is in past, present and future. i might even start looking up his spots from the daily show on youtube. oooh, after just reading his bio on wikipedia, i remember now that i’ve had a love affair with him before… and i recall LK telling me she went to HS with his brother, or something… he grew up in weytown… it’s all coming back to me now..

i’m also happy to report that next week bath and body is releasing their line of summer vanillas, one of which is… drumroll please…. Vanilla Berry.. i feel like i’ve been waiting my whole adult life for this scent to come back to b&b. my life will be complete..

it’s so strange for patty to not be at my house. she is visiting cath & mike this weekend, and twice now today i’ve thought about letting her out to go to the bathroom… it’s funny how animals grow on you.

tomorrow i take off for boston where JBP and i are going to see chelsea handler at the Wang. but not before we socialize/bar hop on boylston st with some old friends. after the show we are driving down to the cape for the night. wah waaahhhh. it’ll be fun no matter what. but i’m definitely bringing some red bull.

i’m looking at around 11 hours in the car between now and monday. i don’t mind too much because i am woefully behind on my podcasts…

i just realized i never posted my photos from last weekend… here is proof my camera sucks.

i can’t believe how cold it has gotten.. i had to shut some of my windows tonight. i should shut them all before i leave tomorrow.

one thing i was supposed to do but didn’t was switch my snow tires back to my regular tires before this trip. :( i also need an oil change. i was joking around this week about how many miles i have on my car and i actually looked today and it’s 27K. the car will be 2 years old in may. do i drive too much?

the keen shoes i got from sierratradingpost.com have not disappointed. i don’t know why it’s taken me this long to buy a pair. they are like comfortable from the instant you put them on..  there is no “breaking in” and blisters needed. i recommend everyone have a pair or two of these shoes in your collection.

on it's way?

it looks like i might get my shoes today :)  i think.

a whole week has gone by and i didn’t even write….

this past weekend i didn’t have plans.. and in my old age, i love that. i went to “happy hour” that turned into “happy night” on friday. it was fun, i experienced a new bar, met some new coworkers, good times all around..

of course i slept in which i deeply needed. i also was very productive in my waking hours. finally taking down my xmas lights (you’ll be happy to hear HEKD). i even organized them in my garage… Mike came over and helped me remove the plastic filtery thing in my dryer vent. we also installed some under the counter lights.. that was back breaking work, let me tell you.

this dwts season i’m running a bracket.. (if anyone wants to get in late let me know) it’s fun… who doesn’t like betting?!

here is a picture that i took at “happy hour”. i think this woman must have gotten to the bar via a hot tub time machine.

the 80's called, they want their headband and vest back.

looking at my april/may calendar makes me want to cry. i am traveling every weekend in april. that’s 4 weekends in a row. and i have plans already for 2 of the weekends in may, one of which is a family wedding in MD.. aside from that wedding, i’m not leaving a 10 mile radius of my house any other weekends in may, i might not even leave my house those off weekends.

yesterday evening i had a surprise visit from batman.. to say it was completely unexpected would be an understatement. he scared the shit out of me.. everyone knows how i hate answering the phone, well, i hate answering the door even less. patty didn’t even warn me someone was parking in my driveway. he was practically in the house before she reacted. what a crappy guard dog she is.. anyway.. it was nice to chat with him… it’s been like 10 months.

so i went ahead and did it. i cut at least 12 inches off my hair so i can donate it. :) i was just going to give it to locks of love, but the women at Supercuts talked me out of it, saying they charge the little girls for the wigs that they make. i think i’m going to go with pantene beautiful lengths.. they say that they give their wigs away.

if this wasn’t an item on my “buried life” list, it should have been. :)

i haven’t had my hair this short since the beginning of college.. it’s making me want to dye the ends blonde again. :)
