Summer is finally here! What are your plans?
my sister's wedding, vacation with my cousins, lynda's birthday, the drive-in, rhode island beaches, brooklyn friends, snoop dogg concert, quitting my job, going away party at michelle's, moving across the country!
that's all i have...for now!
figured i should write a quick update on whats been going on in my life!
will and i are planning to move out to oakland at the end of august/beginning of september. we will have approximately $17,000 saved by then so i'm hoping that is a big enough cushion for us to get back on our feet. people have been saying it will take around six months to find a job in our fields so that should keep us going for at least six months unemployment. i'm hoping it doesn't take that long to find a job though...i have not been without a job since high school so it is an adventure that i am both really looking forward to but also dreading! i just don't like having that much uncertainity in my life.
the plan is to ship most of our things to oakland where they can stay in storage until we find our apartment. and then the other stuff will be coming with us when we drive across america! we are stopping in d.c. for a couple days to visit will's mom and then going to west virginia to visit will's dad. we will probably drive through the dakotas but i am hoping to stop in oklahoma to maybe visit my cousin and his wife. we really don't have a set plan yet - it's really all up in the air at this point!
in other news, my eldest sister brianne is getting married to her girlfriend in six days! my mom and i are making her wedding cake so i have been up to my elbows in frosting these past few weeks. i am looking forward to seeing my family and friends but i am NOT looking forward to actually making these cakes! my mom is insisting on baking them from scratch but i fear that they will not rise or break apart and we might have to just buy a bunch of cake mixes! luckily will's mom (who is a caterer) is coming up on friday so she will thankfully be able to help us out with the preparation. other then that, i am just praying that it doesn't rain on saturday!
i am mostly looking forward to seeing my aunt sherri and my cousins jenny and kathleen who live in seattle. i have not seen them since i was in 8th grade - that was almost 13 years ago!!! we keep in touch on myspace but it will be so much better to see them in person. and of course, i am SOOOO excited that my best friend sal is coming up from florida for the wedding. he has not been back to connecticut since he moved almost six years ago. he is doing everyone's hair for the wedding and i know we are all gonna look fantastic after he's finished with us!
the only thing that i am truly worried about though is my health! i have had a nasty cough for the past two weeks that doesn't seem to be getting any better. i'm going to see the doctor's this afternoon and i am PRAYING that they give me some actual drugs instead of telling me to "treat the symptons" with cough drops and sudafed. i don't want to be wheezing through the ceremony or on the dance floor!
hope all you voxers are doing well and loving life!
my dad is the best dad in the whole wide universe! he is the smartest person i know and also the most generous. i am really very lucky to have him in my life and i cherish his wisdom and love. i love you dad!!!!
Who do you tell your secrets to?
i am really bad at keeping secrets! i usually tell my boyfriend or my sisters pretty much everything. i also tell my four best gal pals michelle, lynda, theresa and julie.
but my best friend salvatore knows most of my deepest & darkest ones and luckily he is good about keeping secrets!
What is the stupidest thing you have ever done?
Submitted by Southernbelle.guzzled vodka straight from the bottle after drinking thirteen beers = trip to hospital for alcohol poisoning!
Today is Repeat Day, so we want to know: what song do you have currently have on repeat? Bonus points if you share it with us!
i have had keith fever ever since i saw him in concert a few weeks ago! this is my favorite song of his that i've had on repeat on my ipod since the concert.
and here is footage of keith performing the song live...and there's a bonus story that he tells so you get to hear his delicious australian accent too!!!
will's birthday was back on april 14th but i never posted about it!
i wanted to make a very special birthday cake for his birthday using my newly acquired cake decorating skills. the initial design i came up with was to have seahorses on the top of the cake spelling out 25 (thats how old he was turning). will thought the seahorses were "too girly" and we got in a bit of a row over the design. i kept the seahorses, despite his protests, but i worked in his three additonal demands: (1) it had to be "manly" (2) it had to have a shark and (3) he wanted his face on it.
this is what i came up with!
