Well today I had to go to my yearly gyno exam...fun fun. but when I went to the doctors office the power went out like 4 minutes after I got inside. and of course with such a computer reliant place I couldn't even register. I waited like 10-15 minutes and no one knew what was going on, but apparently half of olean had power out. so the lights come on and they just hand fill out a paper because the system is still not up. so I go over to my dr's waiting area and a woman comes out of the office and was like "yeah atleast you didn't have to have your exam using flashlights" how terrible, to be in one of the dr's office (no windows) when the power went out. I am glad my appt was just 15 minutes earlier.... so then when I get back to work there is a message from my dentist saying they have an opening in the afternoon if I could make it. then they drilled on my filling that has been bothering me with out any novacaine!! it didn't hurt at all but the whole time I was wincing just incase he hit my real tooth and not the filling. not fun.
we had crazy wind this morning- when I woke up I looked out the window and it looked like you were in a car wash- the rain was that consistent and horizontal. I was afraid to let linus and patty out, thought they might get blown away...

dishwasher mechanic
so last night we finally decided to tackle the dishwasher.... we have been hand-washing dishes since the 15th (and it sucks!). incase no one knew while i was gone in atlanta ryan started the dishwasher and we were out of dishwasher detergent so he put regular dish soap in. well it foamed all out the door and then wouldnt drain. well it wasnt till last night that i remembered he had put regular detergent in. but we took apart the drain hose and checked for clogs. then i said why dont we just try to run it again- thats when foam started coming out of the sides again. turns out that you just have to scoop out the suds and keep trying. mental note to ryan: do NOT use anything but dishwasher detergent.
so now our dishwasher works again!!!!
my tape for desperate housewives did not tape- i'm pretty pissed. if anyone has it on tape and it can get to me before sunday i would greatly appreciate it.
i got all my halloween decorations up last night- the house looks so cute. my neighbor loves the ghosts i put in my garden. i still have my pumpkin lights to put up on the porch but i might do that tonight. i was pouring rain most of yesterday and last night.

survivor
OK DON'T TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED ON SURVIVOR!!! I have to tape it for ryan cause he has class, so I watch the OC instead. then CSI and without a trace is on (well criminal minds was last night- VERY GOOD, I'm definitely going to be watching that show) so we don't get to watch the tape until friday night. so tonight at cath and mikes we have to watch our tape.
we are getting out of work at 3pm today and we should be on the road by 4. I'm bringing a surprise.... Hopefully people like it. (and don't worry cath, its not a puppy.... even though I think you need one)
I'm a little nervous about the wine tour now, I was thinking of all the terrible terrible experiences I have had with wine and wine tours....not to name any names- eh em nicole... so hopefully this experience is good or I think I will swear off wine forever.

getting excited...
i'm getting pretty excited for this weekend. it should be a blast, the thought of garlic chicken wings....mmm. i'm thinking i should weigh in at ww today since this weekend is going to be so horrible. only ryan and i carpooled and i made him get his haircut at lunch time so that we could go right home after work. so i dont dare ask.... i guess this just means i have to be good this weekend. probably better that way anyways.
i was just thinking of this weekend and all the gossip i heard about people. there are alot of people getting divorced and/or are cheating on their spouse. its kind of discouraging for me to think too that i was just at a wedding where the grooms mother brought her boyfriend, who is married to someone else... and today i found out they have been having this affair for 9 years. troubling. why do people bother to get married?! and why not just get divorced? why carry on for so long leading two lives? its a classic lifetime movie. only lately it seems like more the norm.

Winery Info
I went online and got a bunch of info from each winery-
Swedish Hill Vineyard (315/549-8326)-
-Well-groomed vineyards and state-of-the-art equipment characterize this winery that opened for business in 1985, producing a wide range of dry and sweet wines that include champagne, port and brandy. And the efforts have been rewarded; the vineyard has won top honors and gold medals in many national and international wine competitions. Informed tour guides take you through the wine making process with a tour of brandy and wine making facilities. On weekends from May through October, you may opt for a horse-and-wagon tour, learning about a year in the life of a grapevine, the varieties grown and how the grapes are used. Open year-round from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Swedish Hill charges $1 to sample up to eight wines; the fee is refundable with purchase.
Knapp Vineyards (607/869-9271)-
-Featuring wines that consistently win gold, silver and bronze medals in national and international competitions, this vineyard emphasizes its Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Additionally, a small production of Methode Champenoise Champagne brings depth and excitement to the vineyard's offering as does their own grappa. The vineyard itself opened for the sale of wine in 1984 and in 1992 a restaurant was added. Appropriately named The Restaurant at Knapp Vineyards, the facility offers an ever-changing menu to complement the wines. And the winery's innovation has continued; in 1995 Knapp became the first winery on the East coast to operate an Alembic Pot Still for the production of brandy. The tasting room is open April through December from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday. There is a $1 tasting fee, refundable with purchase.
Hosmer (607/869-3393 or 888/467-9463)-
-Over 100 years old, a majestic barn is the site of the Hosmer tasting room. This vineyard produces a wide range of premium wines, from dry Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to the sweet Raspberry Rhapsody and Fireside Red. Plus, they're well known for their Sangria, the only one produced on the Wine Trail. There's also an extensive gift shop that offers gourmet food items, as well as wine accessories, regional specialties and personalized wine labels. From April through December, the tasting room is open Monday through Saturday from 1 0 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. A $1 tasting is charged, refundable with the purchase of a souvenir wine glass.
Lucas Vineyards (607/532-4825)-
-Cayuga Lake's oldest winery offers more than a magnificent view of Cayuga Lake. With a tugboat captain in the family, the motto of this nautical- themed winery is "Wine if by land, tug if by sea." And the award-winning wines have memorable names--Evening Tide, Captain's Belle, Harbor Moon, Tug Boat White, Dry Dock and Tug Boat Red--as well as colorful bottles and unusual labels. As a special treat, you can make arrangements for barrel tastings, too. From May through December, the tasting room is open from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday; Sunday hours are noon to 5:30 p.m. From January through April, the tasting room is open on weekends only. There is no fee to sample the wines.
Six Mile Creek Vineyard (607/272-9463)-
-Situated on historic ground containing a pre-Civil War cemetery and stagecoach stop, the vineyard produces a number of wines, including several blends that underscore its status as the only winery in Ithaca: Ithaca White, Cascadilia White and Ithaca Red. And you can sample each of them from the spectacular tasting room that overlooks the vineyards. The renovated 18th century barn, true to its original Dutch-Reformed style, is large enough to accommodate parties and receptions. The winery is open year-round from noon to 5:30 p.m. for both tastings and tours. There is a $1 tasting fee, refundable with purchase.
King Ferry Winery (315/364-5100)-
-This small vineyard, producing Treleaven wines, uses many time-honored European techniques. Enjoy an informative tasting in a relaxed setting on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake, where a free tour of the winery and a slide show (for a nominal fee) are available. The vineyard features wines for all occasions and tastes but is perhaps best-known for its award-winning Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay, Reserve Chardonnay and Chardonnay, all 1995 issues. Don't miss Oliver, either, a talkative cockatoo who will enthusiastically greet you! From April through December, the tasting room is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. In February and March, the tasting room is open on weekends only; the winery is closed in January. There is a $1 fee to taste up to 14 wines; the fee is refundable with purchase.
Long Point Winery
is located just off scenic Route 90, with a beautiful view overlooking Cayuga Lake. Winemaker Gary Barletta focuses his attention on the dry red wines such as Merlot and Syrah while Rosemary adorns the tasting room with unique gifts for all occasions. Grounds available for outdoor weddings.

plane ride
I had the flying experience from hell today.
First I almost missed my flight, I was stuck in security and had to beg people to let me cut them because they were announcing my name on the loud speaker for last boarding call. so I run from security with my laptop and belt in hand- make the flight. so I go to my seat and I am between two old men. They both stink like smoke, gross. then the guy to my right keeps fidgeting and putting his arm on the whole arm rest and putting his feet in my feet space. We all of the sudden the guy to my right take a plastic bag out of his stuff and puts it to his face and starts puking. puking, spitting, couching, gagging...for like 5 minutes. It was HORRIBLE. so I looked to the guy to my left and was like "what do we do?!?" so we got the flight attendants attention after a bit and he got out and went to the bathroom. telling me he was sorry but he has food poisoning.
WHO GETS ON A PLANE WITH FOOD POISONING AND SITS IN THE WINDOW SEAT?!
anyways I got moved to first class so this guy could have his own row. That was a nice concession, but however I think I would have rather just sat next to someone without food poisoning from the beginning.

last day of golf
Tonight is my last night of golf for the year, well maybe forever. i dont think i am going to golf in my work league next year. my current partner is moving away this winter and i just suck at it. Ryan and i are not going to do the couples league either because we can only make it half the time anyways. tonight we have a chance to win some money though. i think we should cheat to win the money. i just have to talk ryan into it. he can be so honest sometimes....
i rode my bike at lunch today and wow you must use totally different muscles to bike because i could barely make it. i was soo tired and out of breathe and my legs were all shakey when i was done. i have been very strict on my ww diet this week, hopefully it will pay off. it will be harder next week in atlanta b/c we go out to eat dinner all week and lunch usually has such good deserts. so i have to be strong.

thursday
I can't believe its thursday already- this week is flying by.
this weekend we have some good plans, we are going to go test drive the highlander, see if we like it. cause right now there is a backorder list at the dealership and if we want to get one we have to get on the list. since gas prices have gone crazy recently i bet everyone wants a good gas mileage car. then we are going to detail my bug and get some pictures of it so i can try and sell it. see if i can get more than would the dealer would give me. saturday is also the irish festival here. its so fun, we are going to go there for dinner. sunday we are going to go 4-wheeling again and maybe hit the taste of olean before the bills play on sunday. so happy that its football season again.
oh did everyone see agassi won yesterday? he was down 2 sets and he came back and won. and people said his career was over.... he is way outlasting pete sampras
i got my green bug working again, thank god. what a pain it is. for weeks it doesnt start then all of the sudden it wants to.
next week i am going to be in atlanta again, too bad there are no baseball games. they are away all week. i have to fly out at 6 am on monday which means i am going to have leave at 3:30am AGAIN. makes for a very long day.

labor day
I hope everyone had a lovely labor day. mine was very nice. I slept a lot of the weekend trying to get rid of my cold. I still have a lot of poison coming up when I cough but I am feeling better.
Saturday afternoon Ryan and I and his parents went on a 4 hour 4-wheeling trip. it was a lot of fun, the first time we have really ridden it far. we went all over. it was nice to see that we can go on trails and not just around the house. we found a trail that takes you to spragues!! there was a sign in the woods pointing to spragues, very cool.
we had an eventful weekend, Saturday when we went to cook our dinner in the oven it decided it did not want to heat up. we have been having trouble with it taking forever to heat up and finally it pooped out. sooo Monday we went with our trusty home depot card and bought a new stove. I cant believe how much some stoves are. They range from $350 TO $1799. CRAZY. I wanted the $350 one for obvious reasons, but we actually got one that has no holes around the burners for food to fall into. Its very nice. we now have 12 months to pay it off. :)
I cleaned my bedroom so good, I can see the top of my dresser again. I went through all my jewelry and got rid of some things, I still cant get rid of my plastic ring collection. there are some great rings in that! And I'm thinking someday if I have little girls they would just love them. So I kept my polly pocket rings and my hello kitty stamp rings. But I did get rid of a lot of junk. I'm so proud of myself.
I also got some new pictures up and reorganized my kitchen to put stuff in the basement that we got for our wedding that we STILL haven't used, like linen napkins.... I think those will be a thanksgiving use only item.
Sunday night Ryan and I went to the drive-in- we saw red eye and skeleton key. They were both really good. I would recommend both.
so overall it was a very productive weekend.

sick
i've got a cold and it just sucks.
so katrina has wiped out most of new orleans and southern mississippi, we have a plant down there where my old boss (who i did not enjoy working for) is and they are without power for atleast 2 weeks. alot of our customers got hit by katrina so this could be very good for our business, however since we had major equipment malfunctions we may not be able to provide them. its sad that we track hurricanes and get excited when they hit.
last night i went to ww and it was horrible- i knew i had done bad but it was way worse than i had imagined. i'm starting to journal adain today and i need to keep it up. i think i will start going to the meetings to listen everyweek, but not weigh in until i know i wont have to pay again... or october whichever comes first.
oh i forgot the best part of ryans and mine first anniversary... ryan had roses sent to me at work, he is so dreamy :)
so katrina has wiped out most of new orleans and southern mississippi, we have a plant down there where my old boss (who i did not enjoy working for) is and they are without power for atleast 2 weeks. alot of our customers got hit by katrina so this could be very good for our business, however since we had major equipment malfunctions we may not be able to provide them. its sad that we track hurricanes and get excited when they hit.
