Love And Laughter
So how was my birthday you ask? Well to be honest the day itself was nothing to write home about, but since I wasn't expecting much, I have no complaints about it. I did get to go and hang out with my mom the day after however. We got our nails done and drove around a bit so that was very nice. The real fun was had the day before my birthday however. Shall I tell you about it? I won't spend too much time on it I'm afraid because I don't think I could ever capture my enjoyment and level of excitement at having so many of my friends near by. Of course not all who were invited could make it, but I think it was a great group just as it was; including my roomies, Running Slippers, The Maestro and a few others. I forgot my coat and lost my voice, but it was well worth the good time I had. We went scavenger hunting in Boston and then had dinner at AppleBee's. Is it possible to give yourself a migraine from having too much fun? We faked a proposal,almost joined a protest, and managed not to get shot by any ducks, and I loved every minute of it. Here's looking forward to the next goodtime! I'm off now to go enjoy more creepy tails. toodle pip!

Nome?
I am overjoyed to report that my weekend plans were not canseled!!! Of course we are getting tuns more snow even as I write this, but the plans I had to cansel for today were not very exciting anyway.
Can you believe I have never had Boston cream pie? Clam chowder I would be allergic to, but Boston cream pie I have no excuses for. So the guys and I got some to split after Build A Bear when We went in to Boston. Yes, we went to Build A Bear and Running Slippers made a bear and I think I should get to be his Godmother, but we didn't discuss it. We also had really awesome mac and cheese that I am excited to finish sometime today.
So ... I definitely didn't think you could get actual non cicelian rectangle pizza from an actual pizza place, but Saturday, at the mall, we had some for lunch. It was really good, but a lot of pizza for one piece and I couldn't finish mine. I can never seem to finish a whole meal whenever I go out to eat. I try to be good though and usually take it home and eat it sometime later.
Speaking of snow,I think we don't have anywhere else to put the stuff, we've gotten so much of it. Can we ship it off to another state? Also It's becoming a hazard and my leg just isn't handeling it well. Everytime we had to walk down a flight of stairs Sunday I thought my leg was gonna break or something. ouch. I wonder if this is a record ... hm, must look up random trivia about weather.
But as far as weekends go, this was another great one for the memory books. I hope I get to have many more before too long. Cheers and stay warm!
UPDATE: I am totally Seven's godmother!

Were Had By All
Hello there =D I have had a lovely weekend whose high I am still coming down from. Shall I tell you about it? So I did make it to the concert by the way, and surprised everyone. It was so much fun! I really should enjoy more live music. My school's Symphonic winds and Jazz Band is pretty sweet and I love to go hear them play. Every year I think to myself that they really ought to have CDs. So yeah that was exciting to go hear them and to surprise my friends who played. I <3 you guys! We got a Christmas tree on saturday and it was exciting because neither of my roomies had ever had a real tree before. So of course as someone who had had at least 2 or 3 I had to give the tree the old freshness taste test. Very fresh and piny if you are interested. Decorating was fun too and we took pictures with the bird up on the tree. Then Sunday was church, Messiah and Christmas party--the first of two for me actually. It was all fun and I stayed over with one of my profs, but I think my favorite part was Monday night when my three friends and I hung out together and fought crime! Lols yes, we all really are that amazing. I think I want to find some games for my machine soon. I think that's what I will get myself for Christmas. Pleasant dreams. ;)

Weather Weather Weather
Woooo, hi there, crazy bit of weather we've been having here. We've had severe thunderstorm warnings, crazy rain and even a hurricane warning. It is June after all though, so this shouldn't be that surprising.
So I made it! This will be my fiftieth post, and I've now been blogging for a year last Wednesday. Ok, so that is a bit sad considering, but hey o well.
Friday night/Saturday morning my good friend Running Slippers and I went out to the beach and sat through the thunder storm. Yes, we really are crazy because it was freezing and we both got soaked. We also had hail; actual hail about the size of small marbles. I've never been out in hail before. It was lots and lots of fun though and I think my clothes are nearly dry by now lol.
Then on Saturday I went out to a friend's house for a Pampered Chef party. I had never heard of Pampered Chef before, but it seems to be kind of like Mary K for cooking. lol :D I didn't buy anything, but the stoneware was pretty cool. I think perhaps someday I may invest in a pizza stone hahaha! I eat pizza enough; it is the happy food of my soul. :0)
And then of course to top off the weekend this morning I went to church. Tomorrow my mom's taking me to the science museum. I can't wait! I really hope I sleep some tonight.
Alright, well that seems to be it for now,
toodles!

Wow What a Day
I did it! I finally graduated college--well, ok so I don't actually graduate till August, but I walked today and got the thing the daploma is supposed to come in. :D It was a nice day and everything, didn't see all the friends I'd maybe hoped to, but it's ok because the ones who were there were enough and I understand for the ones who couldn't make it.
after I got to introduce my Mom to some of my friends and profs then some friends and I ran off to friendlys. Three of us went in to Boston after that and almost got stranded because the Orange line was down. mm wow
We had to walk to the next stop which was quite an adventure and we finally made it back with all arms legs and other vital parts intact. :D
Sadly I haven't really started packing yet and I need to be out of here no exceptions by Monday at five so I started moving stuff when we got back. Well, it's going ... depends on how much the good outweighs the bad I guess. I managed to get my Microwave moved, but I am only one person, not too tall and not terribly strong and I only ever have one hand to use at a time. I didn't break the mic plate or drop the thing itself, but now my whole left side hurts and my arm is still shaking if it is anything but limp at my side. lol, But this is really nothing new as It can be hard to find people still around to help me.
The last thing I carried over was a box of furs and on my way over I got hit by a car ... moving this time and on my right side. That's the one that didn't get hit the last time. Apparently the fact that I was walking away shaking badly was enough confirmation that I was ok ... jerk!
My leg still hurts and I think I need a hug, but a good book and snuggling in bed will work too.
So, to sum up, and arm that won't stop shaking,sore feet from all the walking and a right leg that feels slightly out of alinement ... awesome! good night my bloggy friends

Just Enough Time To Look
Seems like there's so much to blog about, but I don't know where to begin. there wasn't much to today except that I missed my first class--I know I know! it's one of the things I really can't stand, but slightly after being late for class-- then I went and hung out in our lovely Center for Academic Services. I really love technology, but sometimes .... The funny thing in all this is that I was up all night, but then one minute it was 6:30, then the next I was way past missing class. :( Then I had to cancel the study group I have been leading, but it sounds like maybe no one showed up anyway so perhaps I don't feel so bad? And all this because my cd player stopped working. I'd explain this more, but It would take awhile. Remind me about it sometime and I'll tell you about it.
My poor dear Scott has been showing his age and I think he was just not made by good people to begin with. The upshot of this is that I am in the market for a new computer.So far based on everything I think I might need, it's down to picking the one that I like the looks of best.I went with a friend to Best Buy and we saw two laptops that were nice, but I am still looking. Actually We started off walking in the wrong direction and so by the time we found the store it was nearly nine. Ick, everything closes too early here. Actually though it worked out because we had just enough time to see the two computers that were recommended to me. Then we came back to campus and bought Easter candy half price.
I think all stories should end so happily don't you? "and then we bought Easter candy half price" :]
P.S. has anybody noticed the tags on some of my posts that say "beach random life"? I'm really not sure how that happened. I tried to edit it, but it refuses to be gotten rid of. Ah ... well, the beach random life it is :D
