Re-arranging, Re-arranging....Oh How I need more room...

My winter break is officially over. This sux. I had 3 classes today. The first starting at 11:00am and the last ending at 7:50pm. I scheduled it this way so that I could have time in between classes to study and to do any homework that needs to be done. Now normally I try to make my classes go one right after the other....but I'm going to try out this method and see how it works. I'll get back to you on that one at the end of the semester.
So I decided I didn't like the apt's set-up...so I moved everything around. It doesn't look as pretty...but damn't I can at least see when I set at the desk now. ;-)
Today also was the first day of my "need to be fit, get your ass out of bed" excersise routine. Now I know I'm not fat.....but I've got some pudge....thats just not doing me any good. So I'm doing something about it.

Oh Boston...How pretty thou are

So Saturday morning Adam and I caught our plane to Boston to spend an amazing weekend with friends. After hardly any sleep and a small second to rest, Channing and his wonderful girlfriend Brooke began the tour of Boston. There's just so much to see in Boston that I almost think one should stay there at least a week to get a full Boston experiance. Not to say that I didn't see alot just that I would love to see more...this is why I plan to go back...hopefully sooner than later. Its just soooo beautiful there. So anyways we walked around pretty much all day Saturday seeing the sights....had some drinks, then went back to Brooke's to nap and then meet new friends. What great friends...great wine.....and great party tricks. After drinnking enough wine to probably do me for the rest of the month we all headed for bed. The bed I must say is a trap....it will keep you there forever, holding you in the comfort of its soft pillowie arms. It was a great bed, Thanks Brooke!!!
Now onto Sunday. After waking with an absolutly horrible wine headache, we drank coffee and began to get ready for our journey to Salem, MA. Oh but wait.....Adam's phone's ringing.....thats odd, why's his phone ringing.....OH SHIT....I've done forgot that today is my baby's birthday. It was Adam's parents on the phone, they beat everyone to giving Adam his first birthday wish of the day. So ya....next year....I have to step it up to be the first...Again I'm sorry baby, But HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Ya so we went to Salem....a place that I had always wanted to go and see...Check....one more down on my list. If only the weather would have held out just a little bit longer so we could have walked around the witchy town of Salem...but I plan to go back and see this town again....maybe in October. ;-) HA HA But we did get to meet Channing's very nice sister Sara..hopefully i spelt it right....whom lives in Salem.....in an absolutly beautiful home almost right off the square in Salem. How lucky is she? Channing and Sara together is priceless....it makes you just love having siblings. :-)
-side note on all this is Sara basically picked out Brooke to marry her brother long before Brooke and Channing ever met. And I don't think she could have picked anyone more perfect than Brooke.
Ya, so we headed back to Boston to see a little bit more of the city, before heading in for the night to celebrate Adam's birthday the only way that really trully makes him happy.....with his close and dear friends...and fondue! HA HA....
Monday, Monday.....man am I telling you that bed just sucks you in....and then doesn't want to let you go. After Adam and Brooke and I finally got up we headed out for Brunch....at Zaftigs...again I hope that is how you spell it......Ohhhhh sooo yummy. Channing left us that morning to head back to Vermont leaving Brooke to entertain us till we got on our plane to head back home to Jersey. We went to this absolutly overwhelming consignment shop. Now I'm telling you this is a shop you should only go to if you 1. have an intire day to look the place over from top to bottom, or 2. You have specific items you are going there to look for....ie...costumes... :-) Then we took a little spin around Harvard....then headed back to the airport....and now we are home all (Bret, Adam and I) sitting on the couch watching the Golden Globes....Hope you enjoy the pictures of this wonderful weekend!!!

Oh the Happy happy Joy Joy of Christmas

The crazyness of the Holidays is now finally settling down. We've seen family, we've seen friends, and we even saw the dear old cops....once agian...I do believe it has become a holiday tradition, that I will hopefully break. But all n all great fun for everyone. :-)

But being back here in Jersey makes me want to go home now more than ever. I deffinitly can not spend the rest of my life living in the ass backwards state. With their ass backwards rules. Oh where should this story begin. Maybe back when we got our plates for our car and our licensed change to Legal Jersey residents. Back when we thought we did all that we were suppose to to make this damn state happy. Or maybe just maybe it was today when we got pulled over by this wonderful cop today who just decided to run our tags, for no reason other than she was bored I'm guessing, But sure enough she runs the tags only to find that our vehicle registration had not been renewed and since we had no clue about this fucked up rule "in the state of New Jersey if your vehicle is not properly registered they are required to tow it." No ifs and's or but's about it. Luckily she said if we could run to the DMV get it all taken care and back here before the tow truck gets here she'd let us drive away with our car.
So like a maniac I'm on it. We call our wonderful downstairs neighbor he comes and picks us up rushing us to the DMV. I then call the dispatcher immediatly once the car is back in the clear to tell the cop to not have our car towed. it worked...now we just have to go to court on Feb. 1st to pay the stupid fine and show proof of registration.

I HATE THIS STATE!!!!

Tomorrow..I love ya

So finals all done. heading out tomorrow morning. Sooooo sleepy.....need some TLC...if ya know what I mean....cool thing is the people I babysit for gave me 10 bottles of their homemade wine to take home to try out with the family. And which ever I like will be my christmas present....they'll make me a whole batch...just for me!! :-) How cool is that!

Recovery....

after the most exhausting finals ever. 1 more to go. But I'm not scared. I've got that one in the bag....well maybe. I still need to talk Adam into prof-reading my paper and helping me make just a page longer.
acomplishments of the day
-World Civ Final got its booty smacked all on the floor.
-shopping done for pretty much everyone on my christmas list.....sorry honey I know we said no buying for each other. I just couldn't resist.
-Scarf done for downstairs neighbor...Bret..maybe just the best neighbor ever.
-most of the house clean and ready for our departure to KC

It amazing as I write this trying to make sure I've got every thing that i did today....I look out my window and the fog is sooooo thick I can't even see the bridge. Amazing. Oh and did I mention its like in the 50's. ITS DECEMBER....where is my snow already.


Well anyways..I've been up since a little before 6am and I'm sooo sleepy so to bed for hopefuly only one more night of me holding my pillow instead of my baby.....pssss he's studying for finals...sleep aparently isn't required.

out and about

So one more final down...and if this crazy teacher gives me less than an A...I will scream. She's a crazy crazy bitch. And as a show of this, basically the whole class is going to the dean if we all don't get A's. We all opened the book maybe once in class...and one of the girls turned in the same summary over and over again getting an A on it each time.... So Ya. She's a nut.

Also for those that are ever using other people's computers and don't want to download any messengers but still want to keep in touch with your friends then try out... www.meebo.com
It's an awesome program!! I love it!

One more day down

4 more to go....and Adam and I will be heading back to KC. And we both will be done with finals.

Dezi got her stiches out today. She has also been chewing on a bone 4 days straight. I'm not sure if I should take it away and let her give her mouth a break or just let her keep going at it. I guess 4 more days chewing on it wouldn't hurt. She can give her mouth a break of christmas vacation....Okay back to studing. :-)
