SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR
ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE
STAIRS!

monday

well its monday again. i have two more mondays here though - after today that is. very exciting.
this weekend was alot of fun. friday night we watched flags of our fathers, which was pretty good. except for the portrayal of the 'drunk indian' i didnt like. but i love adam beech.
saturday we went to ryans parents and swam and cooked chicken. murphy was a bad boy though he tried to eat lucy- he must have mistaken her for a chicken - they do look similar. he had her in his mouth. she is fine though- not even a little scratch. she'll think twice about growling at him i bet. well maybe not.
then we went to the portville football raffle and we won $50. that was so exciting because we have never even come close. then we went to carries aunts for a party. played a little beer pong. goodtimes

sunday we had an open house and a big fat 0 people came to look at the house. so depressing. and i detailed my car- its like new inside.

i'm working the 10-7 shift at work this week- its making me nervous because last time i worked 2nd shiftish hours was the week september 11th, 2001 happened. i was home with my new baby puppy patty thinking i had changed the tv station to some movie where planes were crashing into the WTC. craziness.

hair

i will put up my hair picture once i get a good one- i dont like the ones you take yourself. i think i look like ugly betty now though- if only i had braces. esp with my new glasses. i think i might cut the bangs a little shorter too they are kind of long.

finally friday...the weeks go very long now that i know i am done with this job- and everyone on the floor is asking me when i am leaving. i *think* i have 3 more weeks left of this lovely job.

tomorrow ryans parents are throwing us a family going away party. they are going to cook chicken. should be yummy. i'm so excited that we dont have to travel anywhere until sunday of labor day. and our months are pretty clear for the rest of year. whoo hooo.

Job hunt

Well I am still on the job hunt- but I got the most exciting call last night. A woman from Tiffany's and Co. called about an engineering position. I was soooo excited. Wouldn’t that be the coolest thing ever?

Unfortunately my bubble was burst this morning when I called them and the position is in east NYC. So there is no way I could commute that far. But I can dream

Matt and Jens Wedding

Matt and Jen

The wedding had alot of firsts for me to see at a wedding and as the 6th wedding this year i really didnt think i could still be amazed... But first off was the seating, it was in a circle and the only seats left were the ones behind the table where the ceremnoy was to take place...so i am in ALOT of pictures i bet. Next was the 'butterfly release.. first thing in the ceremony was a butterfly box that was opened and a bunch of monarch butterfly came out. some however did not make it, it was sad to watch broken wing butterflys suffer. and most of them had to fly over us to get out from under the tent. not cool.

next was similar to the sand sarah and junior did, but it was white and red wine. that they mixed and each drank...pretty cool.

they served bully hill felicity- one of my favorites AND they had a cigar roller and we all got cigars as favors- VERY COOL.

wine stains??

does anyone know how to get red wine out of a shirt

new camera

camera

we got the coolest zoomie camera this weekend. i love it! i will post some pictures from this weekend once i download them.

dead camera

well our camera that has been on its last leg according to ryan for 3 years is finally not working at all. i'm pretty sad, i loved that camera. and it took way better pictures that beckys camera...ha ha ha. so today we have to go camera shopping and hopefully be able to find something reasonable. i want to get a zoomie kind. the ones that professionals have. i dont like the miniature ones. and i know i wont get a nikon. we will probably get another kodak so that i can use all the batteries and cards i already have.

today we are off to rochester for a wedding tonight of one of ryans fraternity brothers and then tomorrow another wedding in seneca lake for one of my college friends. should be a good time.

This I *think* is the last weddings we have this summer...

job search

is going nowhere and fast.

i'm getting pretty sick of interviewing too. i have had about 4 different recuiters calling me today and some of the jobs i have zero interest in but since i need a job i am lying and telling them i like the job. and then the ones i have interest in ryan doesnt like the location. oh its very very frustrating.

i think i will just go on welfare

carpets

i shampooed the carpets today- well three of them. i think they look better, the few stains we had aren't gone but you can hardly see them. I vaccuumed before i shampooed but there was soooo much dog hair that came up with the shampooer. it was gross.

tomorrow i am going to PA for an interview monday. i'm very excited...if i could just get a job i dont think i would be so stressed. and the less interviews the better because i feel like we have been asking ryans parent to watch our pups everyday.

tonight we are going to breadstix for some beers. should be a good time. i dont want to be out late though. i'm sick of bars. i definately dont want to go bar hopping. ryan said we wouldnt- but i would put $$ that we will.

We buried St Joseph tonight too. should bring us a buyer :)

Anyone looking for a house in portville??

Here is a GREAT one

lion cut

back from NY

we got back last night about 6:30. it was quite an adventurous weekend. we never stopped going while we were there. and it was soooo hot. i'll post up the pictures separate. i think i took over 200, so i will have to trim them down. but i have the actual wedding pictures up. we went and saw the empire state building, the statue of liberty, WTC ground zero. we shopped at the street markets in soho. i got everything on my list. and it was all so cheap. the purse i got for $10 though was CHEAP, a piece of metal already loosened up and scratched me. i guess i got my $10 worth.


Wedding Pics


we also got the dogs their 'lion cut' and it is soooo cute. once i get them loaded i will post the picture.

once we got home though we had to get to work- the house goes on the market today and i had to do some painting last night. i think the basement is ready. now i have to live neatly until we sell. i will hate it.

NYC

we are leaving for NYC today after work- i am getting pretty excited...i have never seen (up close or been inside) the statue of liberty and we are going sunday morning. hopefully we wont miss the wedding although i think becky is hoping we do, so she can say 'i told you so'

we get to try out my new GPS too.

I finished harry potter tuesday night. it was SOOOO good- i liked the book but i was a little sad that they are all over now and i dont have another book to look forward to. it had a very good ending. and it tied most of the loose ends up. i think i need to reread them ALL now though and will understand it much better. i would but someone packed all my books and i think my national park passport. so now when i got to the statue of liberty i cant get it stamped. who could that be???

the book

tomorrow i should be getting the last harry potter book :( i'm sad its going to be over soon. and i cant believe all the people who are trying to ruin it on the internet. the woman on the radio station said when she gets it she is going to read the last pages to see what happens. i dont understand people like that. why would you want to ruin it?

so while becky and my mom are cleaning i will pretend to be in ireland and i will read my harry potter.. ha ha ha

its official!!

Ryan has accepted the new job!! so we are moving.

i'm pretty excited!! cath and becky are coming down this weekend to help 'declutter' the house to make it more marketable. we started this week already. its amazing how much 'stuff' i have.

i got a call today from a head hunter with a job prospect...so cross your fingers it works out. it seems like a good company to work for. and its in the direction we wanted to live.

we decided too to get the girls a lion cut for the first time ever, i will be sure to put pictures up. i hope they dont look too silly.
