Easter weekend and more...
so. this past weekend was Easter. i had such an awesome time. I got to see all of my old pals. I did get to see Heather, Crystal and Tiffany. It was nice to see them. I miss our old days tearin it up at the beach. We went to Guadalajara's (however the heck you spell that) and just hund out there for drinks. Crystal and Tiffany are both married, so they both brought their husbands along. It was cute. It was like we are all growing up.
my gramps came for dinner... not like he came far. we picked him up from his "adult living" house - place after church. it was really nice to see my gramps too. he is such a cheerful guy. he did soooo much better this time than the last time I was home. The last time I was home he just yelled the entire time. it wasn't an angry yell, but just a yell to get your attention and every time you asked him what he was yelling for he would look at you with a blank stare and not know why he was just yelling out your name. it was pretty sad. but! this time he didn't do that, so that was great.
my mom and dad were really cool this weekend too... we had a blast. when George and I walked in to our house, my mom had an easter egg hunt waiting for us. george and I had to find 24 eggs hidden in the living room, dining room, and kitchen. it was sooo fun. we have never really gotten to do that, sooo... we relished the time we had with our plastic, candy filled easter eggs. mom also cooked an amazing dinner. it included fourteen maincourses, but they were all EGGcelent. hahahaha... i'm so punny. it is always good to come home to mom's excellent feasts. all in all... i think this was the best easter yet.
this week at work has been soooo crazy though. i don't know what the deal is. i normally have some work to do, but never have I been behind on things. this week all three people I work with have given me huge projects to be in charge of. it has been a bit stressful. but, i'm coping. haha... i have had to prioritize - it has been fun to say the least.
tomorrow (friday) I am going to lunch with a friend from high school - david patch. a couple weeks ago I was super duper late to work and was walking from the metro to my office and saw this guy walking next to me that looked familiar. soo.. after staring at him for a solid block i finally tapped him on his shoulder and lo and behold... it was David! How RANDOM!! David and I were both voted "most likely to be president" - we rocked that superlative!!! I should scan it and post it to my blog. Maybe when i'm done wiht this post, I will do that... haha we are DEF. hot stuff!!! haha. soo over the past couple weeks David and I have met for lunch. It has been so awesome to see how one of your old pals is doing after not seeing them for so long! So, tomorrow we are hittin up potbellies for some lunch and phase 2 of catch up!
tomorrow night is also when we go check out Lindsey's townhouse. Lindsey is Jess' (robby blake's fiance) roomate currently. Linds just purchased a townhouse near Wegmans (yay!) and Karyn and I are going to check it out. I am kinda excited, but also a smidge apprehensive. We still don't know what we are doing about moving... everything is up in the air. I hate things like this... I don't like being prepared. I don't like the thought of homelessness... Sometimes I think the other roomies don't get it... They all have families and homes here they can move back to if worse comes to worse. I don't have that luxury. If we don't have a place to live, I have to move back to Virginia Beach and quit my job - stuff like that... not that I would mind moving back to the beach, but sheesh... quit my job because I don't have a house... that would suck. So... yeah. That has def. added to my stress level. I seriously hate drama like this. I wish I made a lot more money so I was able to own my own place, or just live on my own. I guess I could swing it now, but how would I support my clothes fetish? I couldn't, thus rendering live miserable, so it just isn't worth it!!! haha. Ok, well all of that to say... tomorrow we check out her house. I'm sure it is gonna be awesome. I just hope we can make a decision asap. like yesterday already.
If we do move, however, I am seriously gonna miss the "v" club. we have had some awesome memories in this house... the four of us have laughed together, cried together, barfed and danced together. This will go down in the books as one of the best years of my life, i'm sure.

Now it is time for bed... more blogs soon!

Today.
sooo... yeah. here is my blog again. i went to atlanta, georgia this weekend. it was such a good time. i got to see my family and we had a great time. it never ceases to amaze me how alike my family members are even though we don't see each other that often! my dad's brother that is 18 years younger than him is EXACTLY like my dad. they talk the same, they walk the same, heck they have the same soap boxes! my aunts were great. they are sooo cool. my aunt judy's house is awesome. she really has a knack for making things look great. my aunt jane is so compassionate - loves her family and loves life. she notices the beautiful things. my aunt maryanne is so fun. she is strong, creative and crafty. family is really great. you don't realize what you have until you don't get to have it all the time... ya know?
i think my most favorite part of the whole weekend was the few minutes i spent wiht my little couz. emily. emily is autistic. she is eight years old. emily and i at one point sat on the couch and did 'this little piggy' together. it was so cute to hear her giggle about the 'wee wee wee all the way home' part. she knew before it was going to happen, what was going to happen and i don't know why that stuck with me so much, but honestly that was one of my favorite parts of my trip. too cute.
tonight i have practice with the vienna falls ladies. yikes! i get to audition tonight! part of me is super excited, the other part is kinda nervous. i haven't had to audition in ages! i'm going to sing 'runnin wild' for the audition. haha... we will see how that goes! i'm sure there will be an addition to the blog about it. :)
this weekend is easter. so i am gonna go to vb again. that should be a good time. i like easter. i think it is a fun holiday. the colors are great. and everyone always looks really nice at church and stuff. every year at my church all the young kids get their picture taken in front of the church under this tree in the yard. i have like six years of us in front of the tree... it is so nice to see how everyone has grown! we are so cute. soo... i have to make sure i get that picture.
that is about all i have for now... this is a pretty long blog. yay yay yay - i'm a blogger!! haha... ok friends, good night for now!!! <3>

So here at my office we have started this fun thing... we write on my windows. My office has windows as one of the walls and we write things on the windows... a few weeks ago our topic was "snow haters" and today's topic is St Pattrick's Day!
Here are a few:
It's St. Patties Day and you can only be mean
To those people who aren't wearing green!
****
I do not like green eggs and ham.
I do not like them, Sam I am.
Green beer, however, is great!
Although I often become an inebriate!
****
Pinch me, I'm Irish (and kinda sleepy!)
****
I'm Irish.
You're not.
Sorry!
****
Kiss me - I'm not Irish!
I'm ITALIAN

BETTER!!!
****
Soo... there you go. Now here comes the part for you... Please be creative and send me a cute St. Patties Day poem I can add to my wall... I need more... my creative juices are running low today!!! Help a sista out!!!
