Good Morning, New York!

So it's for all intensive purposes April and it's snowing AND it's sticking...WTF Mother Nature!?!? This is an actual picture people!

Yesterday was a fabulous day, not only is my company's entire C team on a trip, but I met up with Deb and Elis from my old job for drinks after work. Let me just tell you that I saw them and cried. Actual tears! I miss my old job SO much...It's not that I hate my new job, but I was MUCH happier at the old one. I just wish I could take my current salary and move it to my previous job. (my mom asked me to remove that...see, I listen!)...It was very weird being back in my old building and seeing people that were at one point, so familiar to me.

But let me just explain to you the chain of events: First of all, Elis picked a bar that looked like it belonged in Tijuana. (See Picture Below)

The walls were primary colors and there was a pipe screwed to the door as a handle and the bathroom light was a lamp with no shade...labeled "Bano" and it was unisex...you get the picture. To make it even funnier Deb is pretty religious and doesn't drink...EVER, we actually walked into the bar and she said "I haven't been in a bar since law school" (mind you, she's married with two children now)...talk about taking the poor woman out of her comfort zone! So when we got to the bar, me, the resident alchi had to pick a drink for her...I chose the yummy Malibu Bay Breeze and I think I did a good job, she even slurped it at the end! Momma Deb had to go home and take care of the babies (which was only allowed because her children are the most adorable children on the planet with red curly hair) and Elis and I stayed and drank a pitcher of sangria...MmM.


I forgot how much fun going to work everyday used to be...we were talking about co-workers and there are some people I really miss! There are also people that I don't miss...and won't ever miss...haha.


What I learned from my drink date with these two nuts:

1. When you're in an office with 1939598 women and 3 men, the gossip never stops...there's always someone 'pregnant' or sleeping around or fighting with someone else. It's MUCH funnier now that I know none of it is about me.
2. Even though I haven't been in the office in 4 months, I'm still being brought up in not very nice conversations that really have nothing to do with me...this boggles my mind because people are supposed to be adults and I LEFT...get over it!
3. My FAVORITE is that Elis is STILL trying to set me up with people that she thinks I "would be cute with"...I've been gone for almost 4 months and it's still her life's mission to see me with someone from the office...the girl is just too much.

Happy Hump Day!

I found the Queen on Twitter!

Oh the nostalgia. I just went back and read all of my blog posts and laughed at almost all of them...even if none of you think I'm funny, at least I crack myself up! But the real reason I had to re-read them all is because I am officially following The Queen of LA on twitter (you can search for her, @queenjord)...and if she decides to read my blog, I have to make sure it's up to par (it's not...at all, but hey, we all start somewhere).

In other news...
The Big East Tournament starts today...LETS GOOOOOOOOO ORANGE! How could someone not love my little walking and talking Orange. I love me some Otto! Also a big congrats to Rick Jackson for winning Big East Defensive Player of the Year...it was well deserved my friend. Now on to the quarter finals at the Garden!!

Wow...

So how excited was I when I went to follow the Hanky Panky Blog and all of a sudden realized that I had 2 new comments?! Blogspot promptly reminded me to check them for spam, so I was convinced that it would say "Want to live chat...Click here"...but it wasn't spam at all! It was Ms. Blog herself leaving me 2 comments on different posts! This is why I love Christine, as she is one of the most supportive people I have ever met (minus the 'don't move in with your ex boyfriend that you still sometimes sleep with' comment...but even then, she has my best interest at heart). You know what makes me more excited than blog comments? Drinking with friends (and random strangers, obv) and it's almost the best day of the year to do that....HOBOKEN ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!!!!!!!! The above picture is from last year and I have no idea who those people are, but they look like they're having a good time! And lucky for all (10) of you, you're getting a sneak peak of my outfit for this years extravaganza (it's the one on the right):

So look for me in Hoboken, NJ in my neon green onesie...I'll probably be alone on a street corner because my friends aren't going to want to be seen with me...but oh well, that's where the strangers come in! Actual pictures to come after Saturday's festivities!

Go New York Knicks

I love former Syracuse basketball star Andy Rautins...I liked him when he was skinny as hell and sat on the bench, then he tore his ACL (I cried) and came back a beast. He was then drafted to the Knicks (on the right) and I guess the rookies had to do this. But in the spirit of Anthony going to the Knicks and getting a few years rest before hearing about another Anthony trade...I'm sharing this lovely piece of musicality with you. Enjoy.

Twice Monthly Blog? NO MORE!

So as we all know, I'm really bad at this whole blogging thing...I don't have time to write as much as I'd like, nor do I think I'm interesting enough to tell you about my everyday excursions. AND if I write about my daily life here, no one will buy my book when I get fired from my job and write a tell-all. But I try to give you guys bits and pieces of my life, in an adorable, preppy, humorous fashion and now that I have a new reader...one of my favorite people on the planet, the famed Christine Rochelle (you can check her out at http://www.christinerochelle.com/) ...I have someone I need to impress. After all, she makes a living writing and mastering online publications, blogs, etc. So here goes nothing...I'm starting a new chapter of my blog and it's going to be good!

Super Bowl Weekend

YAY Packers! Now most of us know I am not a Packers fan, nor will I ever be a Pittsburg fan, I love the other team that starts with a "P"...But there is something about Aaron Rodgers that really had me cheering for him. I don't know if it's his 'boy nextdoor' attitude, or the fact that he was pretty young and still had the confidence to put on the fake 'champion belt'...but I like the kid.

This weekend was an interesting one...C had a girls only Super Bowl Extravaganza in NYC. The four of us got super dressed up and went out to dinner at La Esquina (that's right, you've probably never heard of it because you have to be 'referred' by someone else who's been there...and C's husband has connections all over this freaking country, so we got in...yay for us!). Beyonce is known for being a loyal customer, but there were no sightings of her and Jay. We then attempted to go to Gold Bar, but they weren't open yet (which made us felt like we were 68) so we went to an Italian restaurant for sangria (couldn't stop the flow of alcohol...). Then we went to Gold Bar where we were the first and only people in the bar for a good hour...we had a private room and table service and it was really fun to feel like I was living in Gossip Girl. We then went to Buddakan and had drinks called 'Charm' and 'Lust'...don't ask. We then went to a roof top bar where we cut the line of about 56 people and asked the bouncer if we had to wait in the line, he didn't answer us and asked for ID's...oh the beauty of being female. After 2 "girly fruity drinks" each (that's how we ordered them) it was pizza time. Then bedtime and then maybe the most memorable part, hangover time. I think I reached the epitome of class by puking in a Bloomingdales bathroom and then buying Tory Burch sandals, oh the life of a fashionista.

I did learn a few lessons from all of this though: 1. always look your best, you never know when you're going to have to cut a line 2. girls nights never get old, even when you're ages 24-26 3. I am too old to be mixing alcohols, I did party with the best for 4 years of my life, yet somehow that lesson got lost on me and 4. Super Bowl Eve is the new Thanksgiving Eve...watch out world, I've created a new holiday!

Happy Monday, all!

I can't keep appologizing...

I realize that I can not keep apologizing for not posting on my blog...but my life has been kind of crazy! New Years was SO MUCH fun and I spent it with some of my best friends; I wish every weekend was New Years..we could get dressed up and go out and wake up and eat Bagel Smashery in the morning, life would be good. So thoughts about moving in with an ex...I would like your opinions has it might be my reality soon. My mom and my best friend, A are convinced that I had to have been sniffing glue to think this was a good idea...His mom thinks it's the best idea ever (mainly because she loves me and we haven't dated in 6 years, but if we move in together then she can still hold out hope that we get back together...and just for the record, we will not be getting back together). Him and I are for the most part fine with the idea...I want a rule list on the refrigerator (that's right, pre-school style) and two bedrooms (obviously). But we both need to move out and we both want to live in the same place, so it just kind of makes sense.

That's enough of that...lets move on to "Satan Wears Armani" (the movie I'm starring in pertaining to my new job). It's actually getting better and my boss isn't Satan by any means...it just sounded funny when I was describing my job and A's little sister said "Oh, my God! It sounds like 'The Devil Wears Prada'!" and that was the first title I could come up with that made us both laugh. So yes, I'm officially a personal assistant and I think maybe I'm growing on him. Even though I got a lecture yesterday about how my phone voice doesn't project the confidence I have in real life (I'm blaming this on the fact that we all sit at one big table and I feel like I'm disturbing everyone else every time I answer the phone...If I had a wall or two I'd answer the phone like a normal human). I miss my cube at my old job. I miss the people at the old job, but it's getting better...I hope it continues.
