vinny knows what's up.chances are, i will be tired tomorrow.

because right now it's 10:39 and i have to be up super duper early. and when i don't get the proper amount of sleep i look like this,
and that's the exact thought bubble going through my head.
what would your super power be??
therefore, when my dad wanted to make me a hot dog the other night for dinner, i opted out. even though nathan's hot dogs are my FAVORITE and i could probably bathe in a puddle of its grease.
gross? you betcha.
the truth? mmmhmmm.
i've been dying to go to coney island just to be in the birth place of the magnificent little wiener.
instead, i resisted and made myself a bagel with a smashed up hard boiled egg, another hard boiled egg on the side and a pickle.
my thursday fluids:
and my thursday eats:
i have been on a major vegetable kick as of late.
i like the colors.
i like the taste.
i like the easiness.
i am now finishing my night up with a cup of my dad's famous tea. {sans the milk}
i love tea parties. and i love alice's character in alice in wonderland. she's so cute. i used to be OBSESSED with this version as a small wee bit...
and that's the exact thought bubble going through my head.i'll just have to be sure to pick me up a large super hero iced coffee to keep me bright eyed and bushy tailed all day long.
i love super heroes.
what would your super power be??
i toy with this question ALL THE TIME! and it changes on a regular basis. telepathy? to fly? walk through walls? throw fireballs? telekinesis? i just don't know. i often make up super powers, as well. like things that i just wish i could do but don't have any real name. for instance: i'd like to instantly be able to pick up any dance move when i'm at the bar, or a wedding, or my backyard. i'd be a master at every line dance there ever was. it'd be grand. or to be able to do my hair without actually have to ever lift my arms. all i would have to do is think what i want done-and voila! oh, i swoon. or how about the skinny power? think skinny, think about skinny food, think about exercise and slowly the weight just disappears while eating bacon cheeseburgers and sitting on the couch watching reruns of without a trace.
sadly, one must work for the weight to disappear.

i get obsessed really easily. as in, super addictive personality. as in, take me to the casino and i'll literally play until someone either drags me away, i go broke or they kick me out. as in, celeb gossip really excites me. {i'm pretty much on a first name basis with more than half of hollywood} as in, i read a really awesome book by an author and i instantly want to/need to read everything else they've ever written. as in, i go to ecuador four years ago and i can't stop wanting to be there, needing to be there.
catch my drift? pick up what i'm putting down?
when i like something, i usually like it until i'm blue in the face. whether that be tv, food, exercise, activity, game, etc.
i also don't like change.
for instance: i have stayed very true to my favorite tv shows through the years. i will never, ever, ever sell dawson's creek, old school 90210, punky brewser or sex and the city down the river. {just to name a few} when all of these shows came to an end, my heart broke and i felt like nothing could or would replace them. and while nothing has truly replaced pacey and joey or dylan and brenda...i have come to love many other shows since. {helllooo, chuck bass!} i will never get tired of eating pizza on friday nights. i'll never trade in at&t for any other service. i'll never fully adjust to not having my bestie living 5 minutes away from me.
anyway, what does this have to do with anything? nothing, actually. just the fact that there have been some major and not so major changes going on around my neck of the woods. some major and not so major new addictions going on with me. {and by major addictions-i'm not talking crack cocaine or anythinggggg...sheesh}
but let's just say i haven't been loving it.
luckily, in the middle of it all, there has been plenty of GREATNESS. such as a surprise anniversary celebration for my grandparents, celebrating mama nosoordinary's birthday, celebrating father's day with the coolest dad and coolest dad #2 {my pops and my brother}, phillies game with friends, dinner dates, lunch dates...
speaking of being completely obsessive and addictive...those broccoli bites right there ^^^ come to mama!

thoughts on a wednesday morning.
Wednesday, June 15, 2011
the sun is shining. the sky is a pretty shade of blue. and my coffee is delishh.
i have a half day. {as i do every wednesday} and i'm going to the phillies game tonight. what, what.
okayyy, so this post was SUPPOSED to be thoughts on a wednesday morning. however, my work computer decided to not cooperate...and it wasn't letting me hit publish. {silllly} so instead it's actually thoughts for a wednesday afternoon. which works just the same.
because the sun is STILL shining and the sky is still a pretty shade of blue and my coffee was delishhh. in fact, i had TWO coffees...both tastitastic.
and my half day has been glorious considering i soaked up the rays in my backyard, in the pool, with my cute leeetle nieces and my wonderful sister-in-law. so no complaints. and it looks like it'll be a really stellar night for a ballgame.
mmm, and some other goofy thoughts i maybe had this morning and during my afternoon at work...
more times then not...
like true life...
guilty as charged...
happy weekend, lovahs!
Sunday, June 12, 2011
i hope you are all having a glam of a day!
enjoying some sun.
having some girly chatter.
catching up on tv finales.
flirting with cute men.
hanging out with cute boyfriends/husbands.
drinking colorful drinks.
or really good beer.
and simply soaking up every last piece of your weekend.
ps, i want leighton meester's pink shoes like WHOA!
she said yes....

TO THE DRESS!
i know it's wednesday and all. and i know i'm a little late to be catching up on the weekend...but deal with it, kay? thanks.
my weekend was completely wedding-filled. which was more then awesome with me considering the redonkulous amount of wedding blogs i have saved on my favorites list. like for real. i heart weddings. everything about them. the way i talk, sleep, eat, read, dream weddings-you'd think i was planning one myself! but since i don't have a. a ring on my finger {despite this...} or b. even a man in the running to put said ring on my finger, i'll just live vicariously through others. not ideal, but it works.
so let's start at the beginning, shall we?
right after work on friday i rushed to the train station to catch the express train. i was nervous i wasn't going to find a parking spot because it was friday and the work day hadn't let out yet. luckily, i found a spot with ease, used one of my tokens from a previous trip, bought my ticket and happily found a spot on one of the new double decker new jersey transit trains.
air condition-check.
no funky smells-check.
plenty of room-check.
ipod-check.
59 minutes 'til new york-check, check, check!
or so i thought! a train broke down in front of us meaning we had all these delays on the tracks and the people from the other train had to come aboard our spacious train. #FAIL
i was hungry. i wasn't in the mood to share a seat. {i never am} and all i wanted to do was get to kara.
i pretended to be asleep and made it to the city with a much later than anticipated arrival.
as soon as i got to kara's apartment we had one thing on our minds: FOOD. glorious food.
kar, kar's mama and me headed to a restaurant a few blocks away. she had been wanting to try it out, so what the hey!
we started with calamari...
it was REALLY tough.
but that didn't stop me from eating a few pieces...
it was aight. nothing to write home about.
on saturday, we had a date to a little place called kleinfeld's. we had no idea what the experience was going to be like but we were all very hopeful.
we made a pit stop at dunkin donuts to fuel up for our day of wedding dress shopping.
and thennn...something magical happened. something chilling. something that brought tears to mine and kara's eyes. she found THE dress.
it's kind of funny. before leaving her apartment that morning we discussed the fact as to whether or not we thought we'd get emotional. kara didn't think it was possible. i thought it just seemed silly. but after trying on four dresses that were pretty and looked just fine on her, she tried on the last dress in the selection. it was one of the designs by lazaro. and by golly was it GORG. kara and i geared right towards it the second we laid eyes on it.
needless to say, lazaro couldn't get enough of her, the entire shop was gasping in delight and randy gave kara a hug. amazingballs. signed, sealed, delivered. {well-delivered in 10 months, that is} it was such a moment. such an experience. and such a success.
sadly, kleinfeld's strictly enforces a NO PICTURE taking policy so i couldn't snap any photos. believe me, we tried, we plotted, we schemed, but nuttin'!
it was so nice being there to share something so special with her. we maybe only met in high school, but i feel like i've known kara my whole life. i could get super sentimental right now-but i have to save some material for the speech!
next on the agenda...
i headed home saturday night because i had a bridal shower to be to the next morning.
{see, wedding-filled!}
the bride-t0-be was VERY, VERY surprised. perhaps a wee bit too surprised? if that's at all possible.
intensely talking with her mama about the surprise and how she's really "not happy about it."
but after a quick trip to the bathroom, a vodka cranberry and a few hugs...she calmed down and enjoyed herself!
how can you not enjoy yourself when you receive so many fun gifts and have a beautiful cake to eat?
the english major in me cringed a tad about that spelling error. but i ignored it and kept my mouth shut. :o)
i ordered the bacon cheeseburger for lunch which was good but, would have been better if it was well-done. they didn't give me an option-lame!
and here is a shot of the lovely bridesmaids + bride + flower girls.
i'm mad i had my camera set to some weird outside setting. my pictures look ORANGE! and blurry.
it's wild. erika and i have been friends since the 1st grade. we had completely different friends all throughout high school. regardless, we always remained close and always made time for each other.
is everyone having a GRRRRReat week?

true confessions.
Thursday, June 2, 2011
i know i've been slacking on my blogging duties. in fact, my cousins pointed this out to me on monday. {hi jenni! hi lindz!} i shamefully hang my head in shame. i've been at a loss of words.
true confession: i think the only time i ever feel at a loss of words is via the blog.
luckily, i spent a few days dipping my feet in the sand over memorial day weekend.
true confession: there is just something about the beach, the sun, good friends, coffee, sandy toes and the wide opened ocean that make me giddy.
true confession: i don't actually love sandy toes. sandy toes ALWAYS lead to sandy everything. i wish i could avoid getting sand in every crevice of my body. as well as bringing half the beach home in my beach bag. i NEED this to NOT happen!
friday was a good day. i was jumpy over getting work finished and not having to return until tuesday. even with everyone telling me horror stories about how terrible the traffic was going to be, i was ready to rock and roll.
true confession: traffic wasn't as hideous as i imagined. and the little bit of jam i did get in, i had some interesting entertainment.
i caught this man cruising down the highway with his foot out the window. i found it rather odd.
i thought he gave up on his "foot out the window" method of driving....
foolish me! what was i thinking. he was just taking his shoe off.
true confession: i ate delicious food friday night. yanno, to kick things off!
burger sliders and bang bang shrimp, thankyouverymuch.
but that didn't stop me from playing with these nuggets...
true confession: as much as i love galavanting about with friends, i'm a homebody. and i have no problem just hanging by the pool with the fam. in fact, true confession: sometimes i prefer it.
this weekend will be another busy one. i'm off to new york for the night to do some wedding dress shopping with my bestie and then i have a bridal shower for another lovely bride friend. 'tis wedding season!
what are your true confessions?

burger sliders and bang bang shrimp, thankyouverymuch.true confession: those bang bang shrimpies were so bang bang, i wanted to order another bowl so i could stuff them in my pockets for late night eating. i didn't.
after dinner and drinks we headed out for more drinks.
true confession: i like taking bathroom pictures like i'm still 21 but not having to really be 21. it's great.
the rest of my beach stay was dandy. soaked up the rays, ran/walked a 5k, ate more, drank more, met people, and had a really gross breakfast.
uncle bill's is apparently some hot spot ticket item of a place.
true confession: i.was.not.impressed.
i ordered a veggie omelet, minus the onions. i asked if they butter the toast that comes on the side. the waitress told me they do not. i don't like butter. {at all!} ashley and i also ordered a side of fries.
my omelet had onions floating around inside its eggie self. and my toast was drenched in buttah. nasty.
true confession: i sent it back.
i maybe came home sunday night looking like this...
