okay well where did i leave off??
we woke up the next day and had to drive an hour back to the main land to go to walmart to get a new mattress and charcoal since we had forgotten our stove gadget to hook the propane to it. so every time we wanted to cook we had to light charcoal and then wait 45 minutes. not fun. the next day my car was really acting up (the starter didnt want to start the car). so we decided to go to the main land again and have my battery checked. we went to VIP (like autozone) and they said oh yeah its dead we can fix it- it will be about an hour wait. so we leave and walk down to the little plaza and waste an hour- walk back giving them some extra time cause we were probably gone an hour and a half and when we walk up the mechanic looking guy was like- is the bug yours? oh man i cant touch that with a mechanic, its buried. so we wasted over 3 hours to get there and wait to find out they cant do it. their mechanic had gone home for the day. so we waited till thursday when we were leaving acadia to get it fixed. it died thursday morning so we had to have another neighbor jump us. what a disaster. i am so looking forward to getting rid of the bug now.
after acadia we went to visit my friend carrie from clarkson. we got to see her new baby, he is so cute. if you have seen my pictures from our trip then you already know. we had such a good time visiting, we spent thursday night there and went out to dinner, we also went looking for moose but to no avail.

friday morning we went to burlington and toured the vt teddy bear factory and magic hat brewery. we filled 5 growlers, it was soooo good. at our hotel we were told they had an outdoor heated pool- so we decided at dusk time that we could swimming, it being heated and all. well when i jumped in it was about 50 degrees!! i would hate to see how cold an unheated pool is there.

saturday we drove back to syracuse to end our trip. we played trival pursuit and had a bbq. it was very fun except dad and i lost in trivial pursuit.

what a relief to be home though

work was crazy being gone for two weeks straight and i think it took til thursday to catch back up, then friday we had another catastrophy with one piece of equipment.


this past weekend ryan and i went to binghamton for a friends of his wedding. sunday was our one year anniversary, hard to believe its been a year already. yesterday i went to syracuse in the morning to golf with my dad in an all native tournament at the turning stone casino. it was such a nice course. i sucked terrible at golf but it was really fun otherwise. next year i think we should cheat so we can win a trophy.

New England vacation recap

Well it has been forever since i got on this! i have lots of good stories....

well we went to boston first and got to shop and tour fenway and then see the game saturday night- johnny damon wasnt even playing! very disappointed. we started drinking at 4:30 with Taryn at some billards bar. cheap drafts.... then we drank through the game (well 6 innings) then it poured so we went to the bar. kinda like when becky, ryan, tim and i went to the yankees/red sox game in NY. then we went to some bar that wouldnt let ryan wear his visor (which he ended up losing...and it was the visor he got on our honeymoon :(.... i was mad)
needless to say we were all quite intoxicated by the end of the night.
we were suppose to get on the road about 8:30am but ryan was too hung over, actually we didnt wake up until 10 am. but didnt get on the road until 1pm. we got to Freeport after 3 hours (due to horrible traffic) after 3 hours of mad dash shopping in which we still managed to spend way too much we set off for Acadia national park. we didnt get there until 10:15...and it was pouring rain. We got the tent up no problem then when we went to put the air mattress up there was no stopper to stop the air from flowing out. soooo we had to sleep on the gravel. and to top it off i had turned my headlights on so we could see to put the tent up and ended up killing my battery. so if we had even wanted to leave and go to a hotel we couldnt because my car was dead. and i had no jumper cables.
more to come...

atlanta

well it has been an extremely busy week- yesterday i was in training from 8 am -7:40 pm. with an hour lunch. and the internet here in the hotel sucks. i have to pay $9.95 a day for crappy service. ugh. i am going to be so behind in work by the time i get back.

anyways it has been fun. monday night i went to bed about 8 because i had gotten up at 3 am to get here. then tuesday night i went to the braves-giants baseball game. it was a very nice stadium.

last night i went out to dinner with RH (worked with him in sumter) he lives here in atlanta now.

tonight we are going to go to a mall i guess, if not i think i should just rest. i havent even gone in the pool yet....

ltd is coming in!!

I'm so excited, i got my first box from my ltd order. the bad thing is that everything is going to start coming in and since i am off they are going to pile up in my office while i am gone. terrible terrible timing.

oh i'm glad its friday.

some exciting news, my friends at work sent in this poem in to the radio station to win 2 hours of free Budweiser products at a local bar for them and 12 of their friends. i'll put their poem in, very creative. i just love the bud commericals real men of genius. but anyways they won! i'm not going though cause we are going to ryans parents for lasagna and i am too tired and have a big day tomorrow to try and squeeze it in tonight. but how cool that they won it?? the people on the radio sang it- it was very funny.

sweat

My air conditioner at work is still broken. they have ordered me a new one and it will be here just in time on Monday for me to be in atlanta for the week. so meanwhile i sit in my office and sweat like a pig- its lovely.

my week has been very hectic trying to get everything settled for being off for 2 weeks. i got a laptop yesterday though- very cool. i think when i have to give it back i will so want to go buy one. i think work should give me one. lots of other people have them.

so this weekend we have jammed packed way too many things for one day. saturday we have a bbq to go to at 2:30 (in which we have to bring a dish to pass) then be to a wedding at 5, with a ~1 hour drive. Then go to the big 30 football game which starts at 7, with another 1 hour drive. Not sure how long we will be at the wedding, but it could be as little as 1 hour. but i think we might be alittle late to the football game. agh- i'm tired just thinking about it.

oh happy anniversary Cath and Mike!!

hotlanta

well I am going to Atlanta next week for some work training then fly into Syracuse Friday and have Ryan drive up to pick me. I will be very glad to be out of here for two whole weeks. whoooo hoooo. going to Atlanta is going to suck though, its crazy work all week. and its going to be so hot there and I have stuff I am suppose to be doing here too. I have to cancel my dentist appt to have my other cavity. I will be out of the plant for 2 straight weeks though, that will be awesome.

i got stung by ANOTHER bee when we went to the beach on sunday. it was a perfect beach day except for that incident. patty and linus barked at every dog (surprise, surprise) but i put linus in the lake and she liked it.

Last night i went to golf after work (my work league) and i get there put my golf shoes on and open my trunk and it was empty! i had forgotten my golf clubs! what a retard. i had to share with alice- i got my usual score so i know for sure i dont need to go out and buy new clubs, cause i would still suck. i dont think i want to play next year, i'm never going to get better- nor do i care to.
