what's this i see?

could it be true?? Gina - back from the dead?! HALLELUJAH!

GINA!!!!

You just made my day girl! What a wonderful surprise to open up our blog first thing at work (aren't they lucky to have me? so dedicated:)) and hear from you!! It is so great to hear how you are doing! I second you that I would give anything to be on the proch in Chalet Martin right now with my favorite people. Our 1 year anniversary is coming up in a few short months, how crazy is that? Still bummed I missed out seeing you all at the weddings, but in due time I suppose.

Can't beleive that you are obsessed with Bon Jovi! My sister and I are complete psycho stalkers! And their show=AMAZING!! We'll have to go to one sometime together and drag our three buddies along with us:)--More so, I can't beleive you crapedd your pants! Ahhaha sorry to laugh because I hate that you are sick, but only with this group would this happen...my coworkers were like uh what's going on there Sarah? because I can't stop laughing. Seriously though, hope you are better. And as for the crapping/vomitting simultaneously, there are few of us who can do it, but yes we are talented. DOn't let anyone tell you differently.

Anyway I am glad to hear you are happy being single and feel that you made the right decision breaking up with Mark. As for the job, I can't tell you how proud I am of you for doing it. It takes a very special kind of person to do what you do, and just remember, although it feels like you give so much and it doesn't always make a difference, even if you are helping one person you are changing their life-and that is incredible. And the fact of the matter is, is that you are helping so many people and one day both you and they will realize the amazing impact you have had on their lives.

Chels, Whit & Tara, glad to hear everyone is still doing well. How's Minnesota treating you Whit? Chels, I'm not going to lie, ubber jealous of your life right now. Enjoy the time off. I'm kinda over this whole working thing. Traeder t-1 freakin' day!!!! And I'll be seeing you in your new home in about a month, so get ready, and bring your blue hat! (hope you're getting the Old School reference here)

Well girls I will be in touch soon, but I have a pile of papers still being ignored on my desk and I hear the boss lady's footsteps coming. Best be going.

Take care my dears.

Hey girls!! here's a little picture to brighten everyone's day :) yay!! that was a fun day. sarah - that's so funny you went dumpster diving. one of my friends from wheaton used to do that all the time in undergrad at trader joe's for food. i've always wanted to go. i'm glad you didn't let that dumb lady steal your couch! i bet your apartment is awesome...i'm coming to see it someday don't worry!! and tara it's about time to hit the road huh? BOSTON OR BUST! yay...very exciting. one of my other friends just moved to boston a few weeks ago. i'm definitely coming to see your new place someday too :) i miss you guys so much! and now stupid whitney had to go and move to stupid minnesota...booooo. come back whit :( and G is all the way in cali. boooo. so basically let me explain a typical day in the life of me. brian's alarm goes off around 7am. i open my eyes, glare at him, and pull the covers over my head. he goes off to school and i sleep in till like 9:30 ish. i slowly get out of bed...get some breakfast....watch some tv....cruise the internet....sort of search for jobs....maybe get some lunch....if i'm feeling up to it i'll maybe go on an errand or two....lay around the house....eat more snacks....make phone calls.....eat more snacks....watch tv....more snacks....wait for brian to get home...dinner...that's pretty much my life story right now. brian's gone somedays from 7am till 10pm which kinda sucks but not too bad yet. seriously how much does job hunting suck. i hate how no one will take phone calls and all you can do is send in your resume and then just sit and pray that someone will call you. very frustrating. but i'm hoping to find something soon. i've sent my resume out to some places and keep emailing people and stuff....so we'll see. maybe i'll just do the starbucks or cafe thing for a while. i dont know. anyways....life is good. i'm not bored yet...it's actually kinda nice not having anything to do. but i do need to find a job soon. so we'll see how that works out. allright...i'm back to my busy day of tv, job searching, and eating! hee hee. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

East Coast Watch Out

This is a warning to the east coast, because Tara Traeder is about to come terrorize another region of the US! I am so excited!!! I've been waiting for for forever.

Hi girls! How are my favorite ladies? Last I heard married life was treating Chels and Whit really well, which I am both thrilled but unsurprised by. Look at those wonderful hubbies you guys have! Gina what's the deal with your boy? Are you and Mark still together? Are you even reading this now?

So girls a lot has been happening in the 2 weeks since I returned from our favorite continent. Getting back to work has been a bit ugh but getting used to it I suppose. This is the last week of our summer hours, so back to insanely long days next week, but that's ok. I moved into my new place with Jen and Pete, college buddies, the day I got back, and finished moving in all of my stuff this weekend. Took a huge trip to IKEA and got lots of stuff for the palce, and it looks fantastic! Much better thatn I thought it would turn out, and I thought it would be great! Last night around 12, Jen and I went 'Dumpster Diving', apparently a very popular sport here in NYC and got a huge, actually really nice couch. Jen ahd found it and wanted to go pick it up, and I figured if Jen wanted it,then it had to be good. She is the most picky and OCD person about clean I have ever met, God love her. Seriously this girl won't walk around our own apartment without shoes, but here she is scourering the streets. But anyway you should have seen the 3 of us carrying this couch down the street at midnight. This woman tried to steal it from us! Apparently she had had her eye on it, too. She was kinda crazy though. I tell you this city is full of some characters. we saw 2 guys in our building carrying in some stuff of their own.

So that's the apartment saga. It's just begging for visitors. Don't wory I won't make you sleep on the couch, though we are gettting it steamcleaned.

I am now busy preparing for my Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. I emailed you all about it a few days ago, it's the 39 mile walk in October that I am busy training and fundraising for. And my dear friend Traeder will be a volunteer there that weekend as well, so looking forward to some QT with her. Anyway I have to raise $1,800 to participate, so I'm using our sacred blog for my own personal use right now and asking you girls to go to www.avonwalk.org to take a look at what I'm doing and what is involved with being a participant. If it's a cause you'd like to sponsor me for, you can click on 'Donate' then 'Donate to a Participant' 'New York Walk' then enter my name. The email I sent you guys has a direct link, but my blogging skills aren't up to par yet and I can't figure out how to do that. Anyway if you get a minute to look at it, I would appreciate it.

Girls I'll be looking forward to a reunion for as long as it takes to happen. I miss you all so much, you are the finest group of people I have ever met. Hope everyone is well. Love you all.

making up for lost time

Hey Ladiesssss!!!

Two weeks from Thursday, I will be driving to my new city...weird. I'm a little anxious and apprehensive, but I really feel like this is the direction I'm supposed to take.
