I had the strangest dream last night. It was about war, or the army anyway, both I guess. I don't know how it started. I remember I was on some sort of battlefield, except it had my living room furniture in it, and there was a sheet separating the battlefield and the medical tent. I don't know what happened exactly, but I found myself wading through some bloody water. I think I was with my parents, friends, I'm really not sure. My mother was on the other side, on some hill, yelling about something. At this point I think we were fighting the Nazi's. Anyway, so my father got hit. He was bleeding and got taken to the medics, behind the sheet. I went with him. They were treating my father and were talking to me at the same time. They asked me my name age, all those mundane things. So, I said Mira, and 21. That's when my father started yelling at me. "Why did you tell them your age!" Apparently, in dream world 21 is the age when you can be drafted in to the army. As he was yelling at me, soldiers were coming up trying to get me and bring me into the army. I started running, and running, and running. I was chased by these soldiers for a while. That's when it changed. I started being chased by Nazi soldiers. I found myself picking up my cousin at my grandparents old house. We were going to lunch or something, but I was still being chased my the Nazi's. So we went to some kosher deli (which by the way is such a dead giveaway). She hid me in the bathroom, but her mother and my mother were there. They saw us. They said they were very sorry, but they couldn't help hide me. My aunt and mother went back to fixing their lipstick as I hid in a stall. Somehow, I got out of that situation as things are prone to happen in dreams. Then I was in my grandparents old house, or in the backyard anyway. The Nazi's grabbed me and brought me inside, but I escaped. I ran back outside. I realized I could never out run them, so I hid in the shrubs connecting my grandparents house and their neighbor's house through some shrubs in the exceptionally long driveway. For some reason I was wearing bright orange shoes, and the shrubs were especially thin, so they found me and brought me back inside again. I think at this point I actually woke up. I fell back asleep and found myself in another bathroom with my cousin (I have a feeling I really had to pee, lol). So this toilet was one of those airplane toilets. I flushed it a few times for fun. Then I heard the Nazi's coming with their machine guns. I jumped into the whole in the wall in front of the toilet. I ended up in a secret sewer room. The soldiers shot up the room and everything except me had bullet holes in it. There was this man in there. Now, this is a little weird. I think it was Odo, from ST DS9. If you don't know what that means, good for you. All you need to know is that Odo is a shape shifter and in my dream anyway could dislodge things from his body. So Odo was shot up, he got the bullets out and wound up as a pile of goo. I kept running from the Nazi's. I wound up on the sidewalk over the Grand Central talking to my cousin. I think that's when my alarm clock rang again. I was not a happy person upon waking.


Was this dream detailed enough for ya?

OK, I Know I haven't posted anything in a while, don't shoot! Lol. So, I haven't been up to all that much lately. Just working a lot. But my summer job is officially over on Friday and after that I have to start seriously working on finding a full time for the year job. If anyone has any ideas, let me know...

Anyway, last Monday, some of my coworkers and I decided that we just HAD to get our nails done. So E_____ told us about this place in Woodhaven that does tips for relatively cheap, actually half the price it usually is. So we got all excited and started on our journey to Woodhaven. We walked all the way through two towns and into another. This isn't quite as bad as it seems, considering the towns around here are relatively small. Anyway, we walked through two towns to get a bus to take us deeper into the town. We were on the bus for all of five minutes, maybe less actually, when it was time to get off. All this traveling had taken us about an hour, maybe a tad more. We got off the bus only to find that this place that we were headed to was closed on Monday's. We were pissed off. I mean, it was hot and humid, we had just finished a long day at work, and we REALLY wanted our nails done for some reason, not to sure why, hmm.... Whatever. I should mention that what we wanted to get done (tips). So we were all sitting around trying to figure out what to do with ourselves. I suggested a place near me, but when I called them, it turned out that tips cost $45 there, WTFO! Please. So G____ thought of a place in Jamaica, but wasn't sure exactly how to get there. So we got back on the bus, into the subway, and found ourselves in Jamaica. G____ asked every person that we passed how to get to Crazy Nails. We never did find it. But we found another place just as cheap to get our nails done. Unfortunately, by the time we go there E_____ wasn't in the mood to get her nails done anymore, so she just watched G____ and me get ours done. On the way back to the subway, some guy on the street basically loomed over us and screamed once, then moved on. E_____ and I reacted quickly, did our little gasp of surprise and continued on our way. However, G____ who was thinking about the story she was telling us, had a very delayed reaction. The guy was already on another street when she put her hands up and screamed. E_____ and I started laughing hysterically, I mean we were almost rolling on the floor. Seriously, we had tears almost streaming down our faces. It was a very long day. But a lot of fun. The nails looked pretty good too. They lasted for a week, mine anyway. G____ still has hers. Mine ended up getting repainted (by me) three times. Today, I went to a place that's pretty cheap in my town, and got them removed and replaced. I might just try to keep them for more than a week. I mean technically I can keep them for six months, and just keep getting them filled, but who thinks I actually will? Seriously, I'm taking bets, who wants a piece of this action?

So basically, my days have been filled with work and nails. Now can you understand why I haven't written anything in a while?

My best friend went into the army today... Good luck Liat, I miss you.

I might be going to Six Flags, or Great Adventure (or are those the same places?) sometime soon. I'll let you know what happens. I've never been to a real amusement park, how pathetic is that, seriously? Oy. So this is my life. Comment.

Umm, yeah. I just got caught in another major thunderstorm. It was not quite as bad as the one I showed you pictures of last week, but it's just getting started. I was walking to the bus carrying groceries (I'm making dinner tonight), when it all started. I got drenched in about five seconds.

Other than that my week has been pretty uneventful. Well... there were a few things... Ok, so last night I was at my father's house, just hanging out with my cat. I was in the kitchen when I heard a big crash. I went running into the bedroom to find that my father's bed had broken. The wood beams supporting the bad had totally splintered and the bed (or half the bed anyway), was on the floor. That was fun. Poor bed. On Wednesday I went to go see You, Me, & Dupree with my boyfriend. It was ok. I mean it was funny, but somehow I left the theater thinking that it wasn't enough. I don't know exactly what I mean. I thought it was funny, a little too long for the type of thing that it was, but funny. I was just somehow disappointed in it, I'm not sure exactly why.

So that was basically my excitement for the week. Nothing really happened. I mostly just worked a lot.

So, how was your week ppl?

Well, since Wednesday.... I met my cousin in the city on Thursday after work. We had fun. We were both so tired we were acting a little drunk, lol. We got lunch and then wandered around. I bought a hair clip that I'm thinking of returning. I just wanted it to replace my old one, but it's kind of ugly, whatever.

Yesterday, I went to work, no need to go into detail right? After that I had an appointment to get my hair done. There were three separate thunderstorms yesterday. I just missed every single one of them. The second after I got into the hair salon it stopped raining and started pouring. By the time it had died down to just rain again, there was a major flood in the street, and little bit in the salon. The people who work there were busy vacuuming up water, three basket fulls of it.









So, those are my pictures of the flood. I had to get home in that. Whatya think of that?

Tell me your rain stories, unless of course it didn't rain by you, lol.

Ok, don't kill me. I know I haven't posted anything in a really long time, but seriously, I've been busy. My friend left the country today. Unless I go to her at some unknown time I will not see her for at least a year, probably more. So, that's sad. I'm sad. For the past week or two I've been spending as much time with her as our schedules have permitted. In my last entry I wrote that my friend, my boyfriend and I were all going to go to the zoo. Well we did. We saw some giraffes, some gorillas, we saw some tigers (no bears or lions, sorry), and we saw hyena like things, and cheetahs. My friend and I both got paw tattoos, fake, that have subsequently come off of both of us. My boyfriend got me a cute gorilla in the zoo gift shop, and because he's nice, he got my friend a giraffe (they are her favorite animals). We didn't have time to see the rest of the zoo, so my boyfriend and I are going to have to go back. There's this airtram thing I wanted to go on. I think it takes you on a tour of the whole zoo. The best part of the whole zoo experience happened on the way to the zoo. We parked and were walking towards the zoo, when this incredibly large man on a street corner tells us he's selling porn for $5.00 a box. Now, I'm not a porn connoisseur, but I'm going to hazard a guess and say that's a good price. Also, he yelled after us, "If you want to make a porno, I'm in apartment 1F 900 Bronx South, everything is all set up, lights are ready and everything." My boyfriend at this point put an arm over me and my friend and dragged us faster toward the zoo. The whole thing was utterly hilarious. I will remember that guys address forever, and now all you porn freaks will know where to go to make a porno if your heart desires, lol. After the zoo, we had a little trouble getting back, but we made it. We went to dinner in the Cheesecake Factory. I had never been there before, it ok, not the best thing in the world, but good. We had to wait for a table for almost an hour, that wasn't my favorite part, lol. After that, the day was pretty much over, we took my friend home and my boyfriend took me home.

That was the weekend before last. This past weekend I went to the American Museum of Natural History with my friend. I had vouchers, so we saw got in and saw a bunch things for free. I like that museum, but this is the fourth time I have been there this year. I mean the place isn't that exciting. No more I say, no more! After the museum, we went to Herald Square and my friend bought me my first pair of Converse. It was a late birthday present. I haven't worn them yet. I mean I will, but it's been so goddamn hot here that I've been wearing a lot of flip flops. After that, she went to go get her mother from work, and I went back into the train to go home. I met my boyfriend, and we went to dinner in Bayside, Outback Steakhouse. It was good. We planned to go see a movie, but we ran late. We just went back to my house and talked. It was good.

For the week I have basically seen my friend everyday. Monday, after work, we went to a party in a bar in the city. It was a going away party for my friend's friend, who went with her today to Israel. So we had a couple of drinks. My friend who never gets drunk got a little drunk, then we left the bar and went to a little cafe. We both got salads. Salads at like midnight, lol. I remembered that I really don't like tequila, lol. Yesterday, we went to get pedicures, and she got a manicure. Then we went back to her house and I watched her freak out about packing and do laundry. It wasn't the best day in the world, but at least we were together. Today I saw her in the morning. I straightened her hair, wished her mom a happy birthday, said my goodbyes and went to work. Somewhat depressing, but there ya have it.

Tomorrow, I'm meeting my cousin in the City. We'll see what happens. We're meeting in a bagel place called bagel & co. It's a cute little kosher place, lol.

I think that's all the updating I can stand for the moment. So talk to Ya'll later!!! You people talk to me also, comments, I mean, come on!!! LOL, ttyl

Ok, I'm not writing a big long entry right now, well, because I don't want to, lol.

I started work for the summer. I'm not having as much fun as I usually do. I think I've outgrown the summer program, oh well.

I spent the July fourth weekend with my boyfriend and his family. It was fun. I'll go into detail some other time. We had our six month anniversary. We recreated our first date. It was really sweet, and fun. Again, more detail later.

My friend is almost ready to get into the army. She's leaving in 11 days.

I know I'm not being very specific. I just wanted to post something, I'm not really in the mood to write now though. I'm going to the zoo tomorrow with my friend and boyfriend, maybe I will find something interesting to blog about, lol.

Tell me how your fourth was....


Talk to ya'll later!!!!

Well, let's see. I haven't written anything in a while. I went to Massachusetts with my boyfriend. We left last Thursday and came back Saturday night. We really didn't have enough time away, but it was fun while it lasted. On the way up we got stuck in a major traffic jam, oh boy was that fun. It should have taken us about four hours to get there, it took us six and a half. I've got to say that signs in MA, are very confusing, small, and far apart. The roads wind all over the damn place, are very confusing. Instead of helping people out with signs, they just leave them to get lost. Also, the MA people don't really seem to be able to give directions. I actually realized this last time I was there, but this reaffirmed it. I guess it's sort of made up for by the people being nicer there then they are here, lol.

So after we finally made it to the hotel, we sort of collapsed for a little bit. Then we were told that there was a restaurant in the local mall, so we went over. The people in the restaurant didn't tell us it was closing ten minutes from when we got there. We sat down and were looking at the menu when this friendly waitress came over to tell us they were closing. She said we could stay as long as we wanted, since the manager had let us in, he could stay with us. So we ate in a closed restaurant. After eating we wandered over to a local Barnes&Noble. My boyfriend gravitated over towards the history section, and I went to go look at some fake stuff (otherwise known as fiction). They were closing pretty soon, so we left and went back to the hotel.

I have to stop for a minute and describe the hotel. It had a spacious lobby with a floral carpet, dark wood walls, and a restaurant/bar in the lobby. I think there were also a couple of ballrooms down the hall, but we didn't explore them. The room was very nice. It was spacious with a big window overlooking the parking lot and a park, or piece of forest, something green, lol. I just have to mention (since it was mentioned to me so many times), they skipped room 413, they went straight from 412 to 414. My boyfriend pointed that out to me a few times, lol. Our room had two full size beds with white and bold quilts, very fluffy. The bathroom had a full sized shower, and of course there were the customary shampoos and stuff. It was all very nice. There was also a television, it got some good channels, lol.

Anyway, on the second day we were there we went into Salem, and did the touristy witch stuff. We saw a little play at the Griffin Theater, we saw the real dungeons that the supposed witches were held in, and a little play of part of the trials, we went to the witch museum in which we saw another little production, we went to the wax museum of witches, that was kinda cool in its way. After all that we went back to the hotel for a little bit, then we headed to Brookline, to visit my stepbrother. We only got a little bit lost, lol. So we got there, met my stepbro and his sis in their Barnes&Noble. We went to eat in a very noisy sports bar, lol. They were playing a different sport or at least a different game on every tv, and there were like 7 different televisions. It was cool though. Then we wandered around town with my stepbrother, he showed us a lot of dark alleys, lol. After wandering and talking for a bit my boyfriend and I headed back to the hotel. To do this, we first went into the CVS and asked for directions. They were pretty good, but we still got a little lost. Or actually we were going in the right way, but since everything is so windey, we thought we were lost, got little hairy for a moment. We made it back to the hotel though, and we were both tired, so we just passed out.

The next day we were supposed to check out of the hotel and go home. So we started the morning by showering and packing up all our stuff. Then we had breakfast in the hotel restaurant. There were a couple of guys there that were totally plastered. I mean it was like 10am, they were totally drunk. They were so fn loud. They were right behind us, at the bar, yelling about various things, it was very aggravating. So, after eating we went to Boston. We didn't have that much time, but we did get to Cheers. We had lunch and some beers at Cheers. By the way, we went to the real one, on Beacon St., not the "set" one. So we did that. We also saw a historical site. I'll ask my boyfriend and get back to you with what it is exactly, lol. We went up and down a street to see if we could find something to get my friend, but we couldn't.

So we headed back. It was a fast trip back only about four hours. It was thunuderstorming part of the time, but it was still ok. Later we went to local Italian restaurant and had some dinner. In the morning I had to go to work, so my boyfriend took me. I'll tell you about the next couple of days in the next entry. I can't do this anymore. Talk to ya'll later!!!!

Well, today I woke up around 6:50am to find that I had fallen asleep with the tv on, the lights on, and my glasses on. So, I walked around turning lights off, took my glasses off, turned the tv off, and laid back down, but I couldn't really fall back to sleep. The thing with me is, once I'm up, I'm basically up. So, I just laid around for a while. I guess I did sort of fall back asleep, because the next thing I knew it was about 10:30am and my boyfriend was calling me from work. He was just telling me about his morning.

Later on, I started to do some things with some boxes, moving them around and what not. I took a shower, got dressed, ya know, the mundane things to do. After all that crap, my boyfriend came over. We hung out and talked, it was fun. Then we went for a little walk. He got me an ice cream soda, which was really sweet. He got himself a soda for the drive home. After that we walked back to my house and saw my mother driving up the street.

So, my boyfriend left. That was sad. I miss him when I'm not with him. Corny, huh? Anyway, my mom made dinner (salmon and rice), and then afterwards I was kind of hyper, so I decided to clean my room. I collapsed a couple of boxes, cut myself in the process, mopped the floor, vacuumed did some laundry, and I meant to organize my shoes, but I'll do it tomorrow.

So that was my day. Tomorrow, I'm going to continue on my room a bit, but I'm going to go to Macy's. I need to get a few things. Later, I'm going to see my boyfriend. I'm not exactly sure what we're going to do yet, but I'll let you know after the fact, lol. So somebody tell me something. Geeze, I need a comment. I know there's somebody out there reading this somewhere, so say something ou'yay eople'pay! Lol. Talk to ya'll later!

Well, let me write about last weekend...

So, on Saturday I planned to make dinner for my boyfriend. I also planned to go to the city with my friend. So my friend and I went to the city, but the thing we went to see, was kinda boring, so we ended up doing the shopping I was going to do in my area, in the city. So I went to Whole Foods with my friend. I bought asparagus, a mix of vegetables for a stir-fry, salad stuff, carrots, and some lemons and limes. I coulda made sprite, lol. For the dinner I also had chicken, pasta, wine, and there was beer around.

So my friend helped me carry the stuff home. By the time we were about a block away from my house, my boyfriend called to tell me he was at my house. So we were all there at the same time. I was cooking, they were chatting and alternatively helping me. It was cozy. It was almost like playing house, but in an adult kind of way, lol. So, while I was putting the finishing touches on dinner, my boyfriend took my friend home. By the time he got back I was pretty much all done.

So we ate, he said it was good. I thought it was good, if I do say so myself, lol. Then we went for a walk. We wandered around the pretty, enclosed part of the neighborhood. It was nice. Somehow we ended up in one of the local ice cream places. Lol, it wasn't planned. So we had some ice cream. That was nice. My boyfriend's ice cream looked like spaghetti and tomato sauce (vanilla ice cream with coconut shavings and strawberrys and strawberry sauce). I had a scoop of chocolate ice cream, I know, boring, lol. The place was about to close, so they basically kicked us out. That was really annoying. I wasn't really finished with my ice cream. They kicked us out ten minutes before they were supposed to. I know they wanted to go home, I mean it was 1:50am, but they didn't have to be so rude about it.

Anyway, after the ice cream we walked back to my house and just alternatively fell asleep watching television and talking, then we went to sleep.

The next morning I had to go to work. I had two birthday parties, one with 28 2-3 year olds, and one with about 25 7 year old girls. It was exhausting to say the least. After work, my boyfriend picked me up and we went back to my house so I could get some stuff. Then we went back to his house to have dinner with is parents. It was just easier for me to stay there, so I did. We ate dinner, then watched some t.v., then went to sleep. In the morning my boyfriend took me home and then sped off down the street to work.

Later that day I had my first driving lesson ever! Subsequently, I had three. It's fun, but somewhat nerve wracking. I'm not a nervous driver or anything, because I'm not. I just still can't believe that I'm driving, lol. Today I took the five hour state mandated driving course. It only lasted about three hours, lol. Still, it was quite boring. I fell asleep at one point and knocked my head against the wall. We watched videos about proper driving etiquette. The dummies didn't make it, many times, lol.

After the class my father and his girlfriend picked me up and took me home. He told me that they are going away together. The timing is not so great, but we'll see what happens. Oy.

So, that's been my week basically. Although additionally to the driving stuff today, I unpacked a couple of boxes and found some of my bags, my CD's, my slippers, and all my bed stuff that I couldn't find, lol. Now, I just need to find my clothing....

So, how's your week been going people. Get back to me, I don't bite. Comment!!!

Well, yesterday was a day. I had lunch with my boyfriend, then he took me to my friends house on his way home. She and I got caught at her house for a while because of a sudden thunderstorm. After that we went for a little bus ride to our shopping street. We walked around in the rain for a while. I kept slipping in my shoes. My toes were like going over the edge of my sandals, I was walking like a nut. So we went into a couple of stores, I got some stuff. Then we ran into my mother at her hair salon. Ok, so we didn't run into her, we purposely set out to find her. We wanted a ride home, lol. So we sat around in the hair salon waiting for her, we talked to some people. When she was done, we took a ride to my father's house to pick up his suitcase. My mother and stepfather were supposed to go away yesterday, but they didn't, so we got the suitcase for nothing, lol. When we got back to my house, my friend went around trying to steal various umbrellas, then I walked her to the bus. Later, my mom, stepdad, and I went out for dinner, to an Italian restaurant. After eating we stopped by at my dad's house. We stayed there for an hour or so, maybe more.

after that we just went home and went to sleep. Well, not directly. I watched some TV, talked to my boyfriend, drew an odd looking thing, then I went to sleep.

So, how was your day?

Ok, so I haven't written anything in a while. I haven't had the energy. So let's see. What's going on? Well, over Memorial Day weekend I saw my boyfriend four days in a row. I liked that, it was fun. On Friday I had Shabbos dinner with him and his parents. After dinner, he and I went to a local pool hall. We played a couple of games then went back to his house. I slept there that night. The next day, Saturday, we went to Coney Island. We went on rides, including something called 'Super 6,' It's this ride where you sit in one of those little cars. They strap you in and it goes up. Way up. You are horizontal to the ground. It goes up and down and round and round. They also placed it specifically so that you think you are going to crash into the roofs of the various surrounding buildings. I thought it was fun. We also went on the water floom, which is just like a small roller coaster with water. We went on Go-Karts. My boyfriend said it was like my first driving lesson, lol. Hey, at least I didn't crash. Actually, I did pretty well. Better than the last time, where I almost ran someone over. We also went on the Ferris Wheel. That was fun but it didn't go around enough times, only two. Anyway, we also went in to a spook house, but it wasn't even a little bit scary. The whole thing smelled like rubber, it was really kind of gross. We also walked on the boardwalk for a bit. It was really really hot that day. I bought ice cream just so that I could walk along the boardwalk without fainting from heat. I also got a major sunburn on my chest and arms. I still have it, it's very itchy, grr... We also played a video game in the arcade tent. We also got some cotton candy, because you cannot, I repeat CANNOT go to an amusement park without eating cotton candy. It's like against the law or something! Anyway.... After the amusement park we went back to his house for a little while, fell asleep (shh, don't tell) and then we went to dinner. After dinner we went to go see the newest X-Man movie. It was ok, not so wonderful, but pretty good. Later we went back to my house and eventually my boyfriend went home.

Sunday was my grandmother's 90th birthday. So we had a little party for her at my grandparents assisted living facility, normally known as Atria. My aunt and cousin came, my great aunt and her cousin came, my second cousin came, some relative which I've never met before came, my mom and step dad were there, and I was there with my boyfriend. He came to meet my family. He did very well and everybody liked him. After lunch with my family, my boyfriend and I went back to his house for dinner with his family. So I got to meet his two brothers and their wives. They are all very nice people. He really has a very nice family. Compared to mine, they are so normal, lol. Anyway, my boyfriend asked me to stay over that night, so I did. I wasn't planning to, so I didn't even have my glasses with me (I was wearing contacts). My boyfriend gave me one of his t-shirts to sleep in. The next day, we had breakfast with the remaining people in my boyfriend's house (His parents, one of his brothers and his wife, him, and me). I stayed there until around 2:00pm, then he took me home.

So that was my Memorial Day Weekend. I'm sure if I've forgotten anything my boyfriend will tell me and I'll at it in, lol.

So on Tuesday I didn't do much, just wandered around with my friend. Wednesday, I went to my school to take care of some stuff, then I came back home and signed myself up for driving lessons, my first lesson is next week, 6/7. I can't wait. I hope I don't kill anyone by accident, lol. Today, again, I went back to school to talk to someone. I came back to my area, changed one of my driving lessons, and came home.

My kitchen floor is being done, so my house stinks like stain. I'm probably going to stay at my father's house tonight, or tomorrow anyway. I'm waiting for my boyfriend to get off work now. He should be here in under an hour. Yippee! Lol. I'm so weird, I know.

Ok, so I think I'm officially dead, or dead tired anyway, lol. I haven't really slept in two days. For some reason, I just have not been able to sleep. Wonderful.

So, today I had two finals, back to back, essay finals. In total I wrote five essays today. I had three essay questions in Urban Sociology, and one essay question in English. After those finals, I had to go home and write a paper. So I wrote about 15 or 20 pages today. I'm mentally drained.

After writing the paper I went out with my friend. We went to the most exciting place on earth, Staples! Yahoo!!!! After that we went to TGI Fridays. We got some steaks, some cokes, my friend won a free desert by singing a Bob Marley song, and we had a beer.

Her boyfriend came to pick her up and he was nice enough to drive me home. So now I'm home. I'm exhausted. Lol. I'm going to lie down now, lol.

My day was pretty much shit, how was yours?

Well, so yesterday was my birthday. My best friend and my boyfriend called me at 8am, because according to my father I was born at 8am. According to my mother I was born at 9:00 or 9:30, but whatever, lol.

So, I didn't really do much during the day. I just got dressed, took a change of clothes, and went to work. Everybody at work wished me a happy birthday. One of the other gymnastics teachers said that I was a grandma, lol.

After work I took my little bag of clothes over to my friends house, my boyfriend came over. I changed my clothes. I couldn't wear my sweat pants out on our date on my birthday! Lol. So I wore a teal top, and white capris, with purple pumps. I put my hair up with a pretty clip. I was wearing chandelier white and brass colored earrings, but I took them off, because my boyfriend got me pretty earrings for my birthday. They are gold and pearl, very pretty, sophisticated.

So we hung around with my friend for a while, my boyfriend met her mother, lol. My friend took pictures of me and my boyfriend. I got a picture with my friend and one with her mother too. So after hanging around and chatting my boyfriend and I left. Apparently, my friend had told him that there was this restaurant that I always wanted to go to on my birthday. It's out on Long Island, it's called Bongusto (no idea how to spell it, lol). So we headed out there only to find out that they had closed early because there was nobody there. Well, it was a Thursday. Anyway, we ended up going to P.F. Changs. It was good. I ordered my first cup of wine as a legal wine orderer, lol. I ordered pinot grogiot. My boyfriend got a beer in honor of my birthday. So we ate dinner and then we went back to my house. We hung out for a while and then my boyfriend went home.

Friday I spent writing a paper, I didn't even go outside until after 8pm. Around 11pm my friend came over with her friend who's visiting her from Philly. She's nice. So we hung out for a while, ate some birthday cake, and I sent them home in a cab.

Tomorrow I'm seeing The DaVinci Code with my boyfriend. We'll see what I do during the day.

So how was your last couple of days? I hope you all had a good May 18th. Let me know....

I'm tired, it's 4:39 am right now, I'm going to go to sleep. Ttyl!!!!!

Well, it's my birthday!!! We'll see how the day progresses.

Just for the hell of it, or halibut as my father would say, my birthday is in two days. Can't wait to lose consciousness from legal alcohol abuse! Kidding, just kidding, really.

Let me start with Sunday. It was Mother's Day/My birthday party up in Connecticut (my aunt lives there). We all went up there (me, my mom, my dad, my stepfather, and my grandmother). We had a nice little day. My aunt made some good food, we ate, we talked, we pet her cats, lol. It was fun. About an hour after we got home my mother's nose started bleeding. Not a regular nose bleed, she was gushing. There were two sink fulls of blood, and it wasn't stopping. My stepdad called EMT's and they took my mom to LIJ. She finally stopped bleeding at the hospital. Then she started again. Then it stopped. By the time we got home it was about 3 AM. It was a very long day. She seems to be fine now.

Well, Monday I was too tired to go to school since I was supposed to be there at 8:00am. I just went to work. I met my boyfriend for lunch, I don't think he's ever seen me completely out of it before. I was exhausted, I had just finished teaching two classes. I was laughing hysterically at one point, it was nice. He didn't break up with me, he must like me, lol.

Today was the last day of classes. I gave a presentation I was totally unprepared to give. It went ok. The next class we watched pieces of apocalypse Now and had a little pizza party. It was the last day of class today. I still have two days of finals to look forward to, but I'm done basically for the term.

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your day, how was?

Well tonight was interesting. My friend came over about 6:00pm. She was supposed to meet up with her boyfriend around 7:00ish. The asshole sort of stood her up, so she ended up staying with me and my boyfriend who came over at 7:00. So she stayed with us for dinner. First we were going to stay in the area, but both my friend and my boyfriend, as we were driving down the street, kept seeing people they knew. Students, acquaintances, etc... So we went out to Long Island. We were going to go to The Cheesecake Factory, but there was a big wait. Then we were going to go to P.F. Changs (P.D. Changs, whatever it's called). There was a 50 minute wait. So we wandered over to the Olive Garden. Also a big wait, but we just waited, there was nowhere else to wander to. Finally, after waiting a half hour or more we got a table.

After dinner we all came back to my house. My friends boyfriend picked her up, and my boyfriend stayed for a while. Now I'm just lying here waiting for him to call me to tell me he got home safely. He better get home safely.

Tomorrow is Mother's Day, and I haven't even got my mother a card. I wrote her a poem one year, but in general I'm not much of a poem person, can't write them. When I do, they aren't usually happy. Whatever. I'm tired.

I tried doing laundry this afternoon. The washing machine worked, the sink leaked, the dryer didn't dry anything. So, all my sheets are wet, my quilt is wet, and the majority of my clothes are wet. I guess I'll have to get them dried tomorrow somehow. I don't really know what to do about that. I guess I can take my stuff to the local Laundromat. Oysh.

Anyhow, good night people.

Btw, my boyfriend got home safely, lol. Yay!

Naughty children! That's all I got to say about work yesterday. My boyfriend came with me, stayed the whole time. It was cute. He ran into one of his students, that was funny. My students were there, his student was there, we were all just one big happy (or not) family, lol.

Today, there were a lot of people in my room, all before 9:00am, and they were ALL men, hahahah. There was the alarm guy, the GE people (who came to fix the washing machine), and the construction workers that are always here. I've gotten so used to men in my room while I'm sleeping, that I just stayed in bed. When they started making a lot of noise I got my CD player, plugged myself in, and listened to music instead of hammering and whatnot. The alarm guy was here for a very long time. He kept making the alarm go off, boy is it loud. I mean that's good, but, oh boy...

After all that excitement I went to school. Oh and how the fun continues. Well, we didn't do much in class. We talked about what would be on the final. We read some poetry. That's it.

After class I went to Macy's. I needed to get something. Along with what I went to get, I also got my mom a new umbrella. I was going to go see if there was something to get me, but I didn't have time, I had to get home for dinner. Actually, I was looking for a replacement bag, mine is falling apart. I found two possibilities, one was $168.00, and the other was $78.00. Now, between the two, I like one of those prices better than the other, however, I would like to not spend more than $50.00 on a bag. Even that I would consider a bit much. Hmm...

So, my teacher graded my Frankenstein paper check plus. I need to revise and expand it. It needs to grow by a page and a half. I have no idea what more to write. I should read the book, or at least watch the movie. Grr...

Well.... Bye! Tell me about your day.

Well, I can't figure out how else to get my picture in here, I'll keep trying though, I mean why not? I wanted my face to be on my blog to begin with anyway.

Well, today I went to school and came back. Thus far that's been my day. My birthday is in exactly 7 days, a week left, yahoo! What's so great about getting older anyway. All it means apparently is that you have to worry about more crap. Tumors, children, marriage, etc... When I was younger all I had to worry about was how to aggrivate my mother that day. Or how to get my mother to buy me new shoes. I had to worry about school. Well, I guess I still have that to worry about, lol. Actually, school is over for me on the 16th, so only five more days, that includes the weekend. I have two more days of classes left. Then, for the term, I am so fucking done!

Then I can wory about how to fill my days until summer session at work starts. Speaking of which, I should probably ask my boss what date work starts on. It's probably the day after the public schools close for the summer. Then we have off July 4th. I have to figure out whatI want to do on the 4th. Usually I go with my mom and stepdad to the Brooklyn promonade and watch the Macy's fireworks. I think this year though I might do something different. We'll see...

I'll let you know how the rest of my day goes after I've had it. Seems fair don't you think?

Basically, my father just advised me not to have children. There is a tumor that runs in my family. A "glomus mass" he called it. It attaches itself to the endocrine system. Basically, there is no possibility that I don't have it. Genetically speaking it is also worst to have it in my position, passed on from father to daughter. Now all I have to wait and see, is how this thing manifests itself. Apparently it was first found in Holland. Where did my Russian/ Polish family get it? Who the hell knows?

I could just try to have male children, but they would still be carriers, somewhere down the line I'm sure one of my children or grandchildren would have a girl, then they would be symptomatic. This was really a great way to end the evening, this is what I need to think about now.

At least it gave me a blog entry, I wasn't sure what I was going to write about, besides the air conditioning mess in my house. Grr... I'm closed in by boxes again. For once I'm glad I have to be in school at 8:00am, I won't be here when they move all the boxes back into the laundry room. They better do it in a timely fashion. They were supposed to come deal with all this around 8:00am this morning. So I woke up, got dressed, and went back to sleep until they came. When I woke up again around 11:00am, they still hadn't come. I left they house at 2:00pm. They did in fact come about 8:00, but it was PM, not AM. I hope when all this construction is over I'm still alive.

*sigh*

So, how was your night?
