The Date Has Been Set...


OMG, I'm meeting David Ortiz... BIG PAPI... on Thursday!!! It's soooo soon. I really hope I win the grand prize, but as long as I meet david, I'll be happy. I can't wait!!

Also, just a week from today I will be attending the Red Sox game. I am so excited because I will be going with Sharleen (my roomie and constant companion) and Phoebe (friends since we were freshman, and my life has been seriously lacking her as of late), and Matthew (the big brother). Should be a really good time, especially considering my mom, Sharleen, and I have all decided that Matthew and Sharleen should marry. There are many reasons that have led us to this conclusion. Matthew has no idea, and we'll fill Phoebe in. He has no clue what he's in for that night. (insert evil laugh here)

Kelly pictures



















Finally got those online.

Two very exciting things happened today. I won passes to meet David Ortiz (!). So excited about that, I LOVE him. Also, I set the date for my Lasic Eye Sugery. So excited about that as well. After August 3rd, I will have perfect vision. It's so crazy. I can't even imagine what that's going to be like. Wow, it was a good day. Don't even get me started on how I won the David Ortiz passes. NUTS.

Kelly Clarkson = Amazing

I just got back from the Kelly Clarkson concert, and it was amazing. I don't care what people say, I love her. She sounded great, it was so much fun, and I'm in awe. She's great. I think I said that... Anyway, I had a great time with Sharleen, catching up, because we have not seen eachother since London. We got dinner, got lost, went to the concert, went home. On the being lost part, well, who would have known that not only are there two East Streets in Mansfield, but they are both off of Rt. 106 and the first East Street is NOT the one we needed. That was a fun 15 minute detour we took. It took us over an hour after the concert to even back out of our parking spot, but whatever, it was a great time. I took some good pictures too, those will have to wait to come off my camera though, because my charger/loader is in Byfield, a place I am not in too often anymore. No worries, I should have them posted on Facebook by Thursday night.

Oh, and today was the last time I'll be wearing contacts for a while... or ever? I have an eye doctor's appointment on Friday and I have to be out of contacts for at least 4 days before that. After that, my LASIC surgery will be scheduled and I don't know how long it will be before the surgery, so I might not wear contacts ever again. That is an exciting and yet frightening prospect. I've been wanting this surgery for so long and that it's finally here scares the crap out of me. By the end of this summer I will have perfect 20/20 vision without the aid of contacts or glasses. That hasn't been the case since I was 12 years old. 9 years. That's almost half my life.

Lazy week

I haven't worked since Monday. Tuesday was a scheduled day off, I called in sick Wednesday from my double shift because I didn't want to work (I was perfectly healthy) and today was raining and I was supposed to be on the patio. I can't say I'm that upset about it. I just feel guilty because I should have worked Wednesday and I would have made good money. I was just being a lazy bum. I had to go in to check my schedule for next week and I saw my manager and he asked how I was feeling. I felt so bad lying to him, especially after he said he hoped I felt better. I hate lying. He's so nice to me and now I feel bad. I'll get over it, but it kills me sometimes. I never take advantage of people's kindness, never, but this time I did. This is the first time since I've been working for this company that I've ever called in sick when I wasn't, and I've only missed 3 shifts from illness and that was last summer. I knew Seth wouldn't argue with me because he trusts me and he likes me. And now I feel guilty. In the long run this isn't that big of a deal and really not worth this whole thought process, but for the record, I am remorseful.

Some pictures from my time abroad:

Basically these are pictures from times when I had the most fun. Me with my friends, being crazy in bother sober and drunk situations, you can try and figure out which are which.


Welcome to my Blog

I'm mostly doing this right now because it's nearly 3 am and I can't sleep, but I think this will be useful, at least for me, in venting my frustrations with life. If you read this, I apologize for the lack of excitement and sex that the future entries will contain. My life is boring and well, I don't have sex. But you will get to read a lot about my future in the job market and law school and my last year at Syracuse. But hey, if you follow this long enough, there might be some sex. I've left my options open.
