Hurricane Irene

west side highway nyc

How were you effected by the hurricane? I really didnt see or hear much of it. I stayed with M in the Bronx and it was pouring rain and the most we did was run down to the Irish bar and drank, but on the way back we got soaked from running in the pouring rain! It was good times though.

Although today I did get into my car and there was a puddle of water in the drivers seat floor....How that got there I have NO clue..

Anyone else have any damage?

Earthquake in New York City?

Thats about all that happened or so i saw in DC... no damage in New York City...but still. ARE WE IN CALIFORNIA?!!?!

We get winter -- don't give us this earthquake bullshit!

I did not feel it, i happen to be in Bed Bath and Beyond at that time and honestly if it did happen where i was, I was looking at sheets and comforters so there was no way I really would have noticed.

Right before this all happened there was a fire at my preschool, so we had to bring the kids out from nap time so that was crazy...

very interesting day!

And a Happy Weekend to you...

Although the weekend this week is not my favorite because I am working every night at the bar, i hope everyone else gets to enjoy their weekend.

sorry i have been MIA, the summer and life has taken over and i havent had time to write about anything, and i havent been home much.

between my ex now not really ex but more so the present but not dating (whatever the hell that means), work and my other work, and starting to look for apartments for october, lifes been busy. All i want to do is go back to the beach and just lay out haha

looks like come end of october i will be getting a 1 bedroom apartment.. unless i can find someone to live with, but i really am not going to just settle for someone. and i COULD live at home... but my choices are the cat room or the basement...... and its far from my job(s), friends and school. ehhhhhh.

have a good weekend xo

Forgiving and... Forgetting?

{picture}


is this possible? are you able to forgive someone you loved who has hurt you? are you able to be with them and get along and make things work and forget?

i am in the process of working with this right now and and even though i want to forgive and move past everything, i my jealousy keeps getting in the way, when the things that happened when we werent together, i can't really be jealous of because i was doing my own thing too and pretty much in the same exact way.

my real question is, how do you put aside jealousy so that it doesn't ruin everything?

especially when the other person is being honest, and even though i don't fully trust him, i know he is being honest based on things he shows me. its so hard! when did it all become this hard?

Yellow

i have more and more been liking the color yellow and i really need to start buying some new clothes.
but i have SO many old clothes and I have no idea what to do with them. Is there anywhere that I could sell them, even if its just like $5 or so?

any ideas, besides a tag sale.. because that is next! lol.

Pretty Flowers

are you looking forward to the fall?

Bikini Waxing

{picture}

I did it.
I swear to you this was worse then getting ANY of my tattoos. No bullshit.

Has anyone ever gotten this done? I need to hear your experience.

It wasnt that the lady sucked or anything either, it was just that painful. It was also my first time and I dont know if I can ever bring myself to doing it again omg!

Please tell me your thoughts!

A Beach Vacation

{picture}

Finally I have a weeks vacation off! I am down the Jersey Shore with my family and we are literally right on the beach. I am SO excited about that. It is soooo nice. I got here this afternoon and I cannot wait to go out to the beach tomorrow! I will probably drive on down to Ron John's Surf shop tomorrow or so and get some clothes (love that place and there are not many of them)

It will be nice to hang out with my family and then some of my friends are coming down this weekend to go out and partayyyy. It should be a good time!

Anyone going on vacation this month? August is usually the vacation month.
