The Bachelor-spoiler

Yes, i'm watching The Bachelor...I need to start counting the candles, fires, and how many times the word, "Amazing" is used. This poor girl below did not get a rose, I think I noticed the look on Jason's face when they were having a romantic dinner and she goes, "I like Bears" then talked about bears and forgot what they were talking about....wooops. Oh well, goodbye Nat!

Happy New Year!

HAPPY 2009! It's been an interesting year, I hope 2009 will be a great year for everyone!

I get pretty bummed when the holidays are over, I don't mind taking down decorations and putting some of the stuff away, but the tree undecorating is the worst, I have so much fun putting it up...having my friends over for snacks and champagne, I guess thats why its so sad to take it down. I may have mentioned we are redoing our basement, so the house has had some random boxes and b.s. laying around...so dont get me wrong, i 'd like to get everything back to normal, but the tree undecorating is the saddest. Do you agree?

New Year's Eve and New Year's Day were a blast, as usual! NYE, we went to Los's brother and wife's house. I played darts and beer pong. Barbra and I did turrible in beer pong and darts..we really need to work on our game Babs! OH, we also drank out of Das Boot...everyone stands in a circle and drinks out of the a big glass boot...it's a tradition we do at all parties. We also request guilty pleasure songs to Kurt all month long and have a dance party. I think my favorite one right now is "Don't stop me now" by Queen and then of course, It's raining men and "All night long" by Lionel Richie...which is Los's.

Then there is New Years Day!! Babs and I go to the unofficial 2 street Mummer's parade, which is a blast! There are tons of people walking around with drinks, music, and costumes. We ended up in the bars a little more than we should have...it was either that or hypothermia-It was ridiculously cold out this year. Then of course, we ended up eating a bunch of pork sandwiches from the crock pot, which were delicious, thanks babs! So that was my New Years.

Happy New Year!!!

Merry Christmas!!!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Ahh, it's that time of year!

I am currently unemployed, so i have a lot of free time to look for jobs, run errands, make dinner and clean. Los will be off for the holidays, so atleast I have my honey to hang out with, It gets a lil boring to be by yourself, Although, i have my mom and dad - but thats got to be in small doses, I love them, but i have lilttle patience and I've been snappy since I lost my job.

Here are a few things we're gonna be doing over the upcoming days....

• Go to the movies - We want to see The Wrestler and Milk. We have to find out where they are playing, i think they are "Ritz" type movies.
  
• Go to Produce Junction, my new favorite store! Prepare for Christmas Dinner I am hosting for 14 people.
  
• Go the the Della Polla's Christmas Party, woo hoo! We havent been in a few years, but it's always fun in there and the decorations looks cute.


• Bowl! However, the friends we are going with is dating someone who has bowled like 17 perfect games in his life, shouldnt he be a pro? I once bowled a 6, I am a little better now, and it's fun.
• Lisa's Christmas Party! YAY! It's always fun and we do alot to prepare for it!

So Happy Holidays Everyone!! Be thankful for your jobs and hopefully I will have one in 2009!

Happy Thanksgiving! Leftover Turkey

I better get on the eliptical...the eating season begins! Thanksgiving is Thursday - I can't believe it! I'm pretty picky about turkey dinners, i'm picky about how the stuffing is done, gravy kinda grosses me out unless I make it, but I like the actual turkey and mashed potatoes and veggies. I really like string bean casserole too. I will be some kind of broccoli and cheese thing to Los's parents house, where we just had turkey on Wednesday night...everything except the cauliflower! I think if I began to host Thanksgiving, I would make everything wednesday and have the delicious opened face sandwiches on Thursday, that's the best part! So anyway, if i can get my hands on some white meat - i think i'll make Hot Browns. The Hot Brown is some delicious concoction that The Brown Hotel in Louisville, KY came up with in the 1920's. It's toast, turkey, tomatoes, bornay sauce (cheezy bechamel) and yes, bacon. Los, please make extra bacon. So....what are you doing with your leftover turkey?

Thanks Septa

My train was 40 minutes late this morning. I had my winter coat on and and kind of a light sweater and before I left my house, I thought, maybe I should put another sweater on, thank god I did. I stood outside for about 25 mins, then decided to go in to the place where you buy tickets, which is the size of a shoebox, and that was standing room only, then, we were told to go to the other side of the track and wait even longer. I then got on the train with numb feet and had to stand on a ridicuolously packed train to move a little, then come to a complete standstill. I finally got to the city. I never thought i'd be so happy to see the subway train.

Whew

Oh my goodness, its been a long time. I think i finally caught my breath. I am in advertising and worked on "campaigns" i'm sure you can guess what they were. I worked late, then got home ate dinner, then back on the computer, so i really didnt really want to post a blog. So, it gets better..my company has declared chapter 11, like most companies these days, so we've known that for a while, then we went into chapter 7, what the hell is that? And this was announced when i could hardly get into the coference room because i was too bizzy. Well the company is still in business, and got on to Los's insurance, so thats good.
I am preparing for a lay off, so it is a lil scary BUT, i'm still working - I should know something in a week. AND, i was smart a put an emergency fund away. I saw something on the news about how you should have a 6 month nest egg away and I did it, but its tough to have to dip in, I'd rather buy a Louie! Any way, if i didnt have Los by my side and his encouraging comments, and beer on thursdays, i dont know what i would do. Any way, if you do have a job, please do your best to support yourself and your family! oh, and if you're hiring..wink, wink!hahhaaahh!!

On Hiatus

For all 2 of you that read this....my creative juices have not been flowing. I've been really busy with work, so if i get online, i'm working. I don't know whats going on with the celebrities,other people's lives via blogs, or christmas gift ideas. When i'm not working, Los and I are re-doing the basement, which is gonna be great when we're done, but the spackling and sanding is tedious and time consuming, then priming and painting, which will be started this weekend. So anyway - there's my quick update and GO PHILS!!!
