3)Put the award in one post as soon as you receive it.
4)Don't forget to mention the person who gives you the award.
5)Answer the award's question by writing the reason why you love blogging.

I blog because I am looking for a change in my life. I want to do something different, blogging allows me to be myself and write whatever I want and people actually read it and even like it! I want to be a writer one day and since I have been in the corporate world, I have lost my creativity, and I am trying to gain it back full force. I guess I am doing a good job for now :)

6)Tag and distribute the award to as many people as you like.
7)Don't forget to notify the award receivers and put their links in your post.

I Refuse to Twitter!

I am refusing.

Yes --sorry Twitter lovers, I know it is something that everyone seems to like and update all the time, but I just can't do it.
Between facebook and blogging and social networks and a million different email addresses and passwords to remember -- I am running out of remember power in my mind!

So as of now, I have kept facebook, 20 something bloggers, and my blog! (plus email addresses, etc.)
Deleted: Twitter, Myspace, Linked In

I am proud! People don't necessarily need to know that much information about my life! It's bad enough that facebook tells everyone, even the people I am not REALLY friends with --randoms from HS-- what I did last night!

So I just wanted to throw that out there ;)

Ciao

What did YOU do this weekend?

I have been recovering from my hangover all day and at the same time trying to update the layout of my blog. BAD COMBO!
I wish I knew that when I changed the layout style it would change all of my widgets that I had attached to my previous layout.. UGH what a pain in the ass. Then of course I find the 'right one' and I can't put my picture I want in the header. So incredibly annoying. If anyone has any pointers or any great places where I could find a better layout, please let me know. This is just a random thoughts posting now that I am getting into this one...lol ... there is too much I am thinking about to keep it to one though.

So this weekend we went to a bar called Galway Hookers in NYC for my belated birthday.

We reserved an area, paid $45/pp for 3 hour open bar. HOT. As soon as that bartender walked over to me, I got 2 Irish beers, and it continued along that way until the end of the night... plus the shots and other drinks people bought for me. I am hurting today. Not that bad, so I am proud of my alcoholic consumption not kicking my ass. So we had a good time for the most part, except when J get mad at L for "flirting" with my co-workers friend. Okay. Bad combo right there... any sort of my friends getting mad at something that involves a co-worker, is NO BUENO. This was basically at the end of the night and my co-worker and pals had to leave to make the train plus one of them got sick SO they ran out real quick so I dont know what exactly happened but they left, the girls had a meeting with L and told her he was just jealous and drunk, both true. We get out of the "girls meeting" in the bathroom and they hug and whatev. Then it was time to leave, so all the drunkees go home.

I didn't go to the shelter today to walk the dogs. I always feel bad about it when I don't go. I haven't been in 3 weeks either because of our trip. But I couldn't bring myself to go after drinking so much and getting home so late. Next week. I will start again. I haven't been to the gym since before we left either. Ugh! Such a waste, I need to get onto losing weight ASAP. The BF and I are planning to use my next furlough week ( yes, another unpaid week... totaling 4 weeks vaca for me this year) Peru i think is in the top running. Italy is up there too.
Our choices..

+Peru
+Italy
+Chile
...

So I have court tomorrow in the city with the US government for the BF's accident with the mail truck. Should be fun times....

I am very much loving the twenty something bloggers network. If you have a chance, join it and meet all the cool people that are on the network.

Ciao 4 now.
