Happy New Year

Wow, this year has been wonderful. I can't believe it is over, so many things happened so fast. I just wanted to wish all my friends a wonderful, safe and happy new year. May this next year bring us much happiness and success.

Happy New Year

My First Christmas Alone.....

Well, I survived Christmas all alone in this new big city. Everyone called wondering if I was okay and of course I was. Honestly, this may sound bad, but I was glad to be alone. This past year has been so busy with the project, travel, family, friends, and co-workers it has been very hard to get some alone time. So this past month has been really nice just doing the things that make Brian happy. One of those things was joining the Blockbuster Movie Pass. It is wonderful, it's $29.00 a month and I can rent up to 3 movies at a time. Each time I am finished I bring the movies back and exchange them for 3 more. I have watched so many movies, probably not healthy, but since it has been so cold what else is there to do?

OMG, so I move to the city where I can use my wonderful 40G Ipod and what happens a month into the move…..IT GETS SICK! Gave me some damn folder exclamation point error…WTF!!!!! Anyways, she is currently laid up at some Apple Hospital somewhere all alone. I pray for a safe return.

I love my new apartment and building, I am on the 14th floor of a 32-story building. I have always wanted to live in a high-rise since I was a kid. Ugh, I love my life right now, the only thing I need is a husband. I have met a few people, but not Mr. Wonderful. I will meet him in the Spring…..I hope!

Weekend Re-Cap

Ten of my closest friends and co-workers went to Mai Kai for Dinner on Saturday to celebrate my birthday. The restaurant was great, made to look like a Polynesian village. At the end of dinner there was an amazing 45 minutes show with dancers and fire. I had a great time and got a 40G IPOD. I love my friends.

After dinner Aaron and I had tickets to go to Red Ball, which was tragic. When we got there I think maybe there were 30 people left. Bitter since we paid $40 a ticket, we stayed for a bit to listen to the music. Moved on to Alibi's where we ran into some friends and went to Coli to dance. Danced my ass off, met a cute guy from Puerto Rico named Julio....yummy! A little to clingy at times, but a great kisser.

Sunday, I just rested all day. Rena made dinner and Jen made me a cake. Watched Jack and Bobby and Desperate Housewives....LOVED IT.

I'm Back....

It has been a while since my last post. I had a wonderful time in Scottsdale, AZ. Then went home to Dallas, TX for my 25th birthday which was wonderful. Spent time with family and friends. Came back to Fort Lauderdale on Sunday and had taken 3 days off to re-coup from my travels.

We got our 60-day notice yesterday with an outline of my severance package. So I hope to find a position in another department here in Fort Lauderdale, if worse comes to worse, I can always go back to Dallas and return to the position I left.

Aaron and I went out and danced last night, so I am tore up today. Did not sleep much at all and today is just creeping by.

About 10 of us are going out for dinner on Saturday to celebrate my Birthday since I was not in town, can't wait. Aaron and I will be going to RedBall after that, so I will once again be tore up on Sunday. Miss Tina is wearing me out!

Why did I drink so much....

I want to watch porn....
Guess where I spent a gorgeous sunny Scottsdale Saturday? Give Up? My hotel room hung over, it was bad. After a night of partying in a new city with 4 straight girls, I was in need of some gay porn. Picking up the remote I press the Menu button, which was not working. I turned the TV off, then back on....checked the wires on the back and then thought they might not have it turned on in my room. I phoned the front desk and told them my Menu button did not work and I could not watch porn...I mean "Movies". They said they would check and call me back. I patiently waited...........waiting..........waiting........phone rings. Sir, your room is setup to watch "MOVIES" are you sure you are pressing the MENU button....um let's see....YES! I will send someone up. WAITING........WAITING...........WONDERING IF IT IS WORTH IT.......WAITING....Knock at the door. Poor old maintenance man who did not speak English, gave me a new remote, I tried the new remote and NOTHING. Tried to communicate with him, and got nowhere. I was beginning to get mad when I realized it was not his fault. Told him thanks for trying and he told me to keep both remotes...Um ok, bye! Called the front desk, and they still think I can't press the MENU button......IRRITATED, I said nevermind, don't worry and hung up. This all took 45minutes to get NOWHERE! Couple minutes later there is a knock at the door. It was the head of maintenance Bob. Bob tried everything and guess what? No movies, the only option I have left was to change rooms. (All of this work just to watch porn) I call the front desk and ask for a room close to mine since I had 14 days of cloths with me and was hung over. They said, the only room we have is on the 5th floor....I am on the 3rd over looking the pool. Pondering what I should do I told her I would decide and call back. I looked out the window to see if there was anything cute at the pool and it was all fat old people so I decided to start packing and change rooms. Two hours later I am finally in the same position as when I first wanted to watch porn....I approach the remote and YES YES the menu button worked. I went straight to the adult titles and ordered the all day adult superpass.....it was only straight porn, but it was porn and I was in HEAVEN!

RA
Deborah had mentioned that her fiance was out of town so she would love to treat me to dinner on Saturday night, so I accepted. She called around 4pm to make plans, and I was in the middle of watching porn when she called....wink! She told me to get ready and drive out to her house so we can ride together. I jumped in the shower, got ready and drove over. Her house was AMAZING!!! Her fiance owns his own consulting firm, so she was loaded. She gave me the tour, met her doggie, had a strong drink and we where out on the town. She took me to RA, a sushi bar that was FABULOUS, not to mention it was the BEST SUSHI I have ever eaten! After a few drinks I was ready for a gay bar...I think she was ready for bed, but felt bad that I was going to Charlies alone, so she decided to come along. I warned her that Charlies was a gay country western bar.....she smiled with excitement...LOL!

Scottsdale Day 3

Happy Hour
So I go out to with the girls on Friday night, they invited me to happy hour, so I accepted and only planned on being out for a bit, so I could really enjoy the gay bars in town. I figured Friday would be the best night to go out since I had to work on Sunday. We leave and get to Dos Gringos at a little after 5:00pm, I rode with Traci from the office since I needed to run by the atm. It turns out she has a gay roommate and we have the same birthday....get out of town. We hit is off immediately. We where joined by Nicole, Gina, and Deborah and the drinking games began. When I travel to unfamiliar offices I always try and play my straight card. Basically the girls new I was gay, but just waited until I came out of my shell and was comfortable enough with them. I found the best opportunity was when we where talking about plastic surgery and Dr. Rey from Dr 90210, they asked if I watched it and I replied with yes and Dr.Rey is so hot. There out on the table and I was free to have a good time.

Nasty Cracked-Out Stripper
Dos Grigos was so cute, picture a Mexican restaurant outdoors with multiple bars and water misters everywhere....VERY CUTE oh and right next door to BS, a local gay bar. All eyes where fixed on Ariel, a stripper with huge tits that where literally spilling out of her shirt. She was drunk and had been drinking since noon, but was also on something else.(wink). When I asked her she replied "I took something, but not sure what it was" I was like Crystal and she was like um yeh...I am like share...ok not really with co-workers. She was so TRAGIC I almost felt sorry for her. She was so drunk that she kept walking over to the trash can and you could hear everyone whisper....look she is about to lose it.....POOR THING. We call her over and introduced herself to us and chatted for a bit, until she moved on for another shot. Her server kept serving her even though she was drunk and she was the entertainment in the bar....SAD.

The Swingers
A guy sitting next to me Todd introduced himself and his wife to our table, he was also joined by his twin brother whom was staring at Ariel's tits. They had also been watching miss crackho, so it was easy brining up conversation with us. Todd's wife was from Canada and so was Gina, so they where instant best friends and started to sit next to each other discussing the best way to get a VISA, so we decided to talk to the twins. Very cute guys, they kept trying to figure out if I was gay...saying "I tried to get her to show her tits for you, sorry" I replied with that is sooo not my type. He said oh really.....I am like oh yes, look how I am holding my Vodka Tonic...Waiter I will have another please. Turns out they where swingers and his wife thought I was hot and spent 30 minutes trying to figure out if I could perform with both a man and a WOMEN...she was like can you get it up...I was like is she for real. She finally moved to talk to Gina and I started drinking more. Todd was showing a picture of his wedding in Maui and asked me if I would like to see, I said NO...I want to see a picture of your cock. Everyone laughed for how forward I had been, but was confused by the looks he was giving me and wanted to see if he two was interested in me. Five minutes later he passes me his palm quietly and says here. It was his HUGE COCK in between his wives tits. OUT LOUD I STARTED LAUGHING and got everyone's attention. I turned to his wife and said "I know why you married him now" She smiled and high fived me. Needles to say, I was invited to a Hot tubing party tomorrow night with some other couples...NO THANKS, but I will sleep with your husband.....WINK.....

Way To Many Drinks.....
OK, I was drinking like a sailor and don't remember much. We left Dos Gringos about 9:30pm, went next door to the gay bar for an hour and I remember nothing. I woke up in my hotel room about 10:30am the next morning with a major headache. I was pleased I had made it in ok, but pondered how I had gotten here. I call Deborah and she was like OMG, we had so much fun. I was a little embarrassed to say I did not remember but asked how I got home. She said sweetie me and Gina took you, and she started laughing, I was like what. She said that I got in the car and they asked where I was staying, I replied with the Marriott, turns out there are 4 on north Scottsdale road and we went to all 4......TRAGIC, I had so much fun though and the girls are wonderful.

Scottsdale Day 2

I have not decided if I like AZ yet. Needs more color; everything is burnt orange or red. It is hot, but a dry heat so Fort Lauderdale feels worse. There is 1 cute guy to every 3 which is not that bad. Cute shopping everywhere I turn, the whole city is like a huge mall. They have Whataburger…yummy my favorite fast food place back home in Dallas, open 24 hours (prefect food for after the bar), low cal and low carbs…NOT! One of the biggest downfalls that will pose as a huge problem tonight is that THEY STOPPING SERVING DRINKS AT 1am....what what what!

So last night, I get to the hotel and decide I want to work out. I change cloths and I get distracted by the room service menu, since I was busy and did not leave for lunch I decided I was REALLY hungry so I ordered Chicken Tenders w/ranch dressing, Cheese Sticks w/marinara sauce, and DOUBLE TROUBLE CHOCOLATE CAKE. After I stuffed myself, I put the room service tray in the hallway and forgot that the room locks. DAMN IT, I locked myself out. I went down stairs barefoot, blue adidas short, and a ROUCH RACING shirt….no one could tell I was gay. So with my luck at the counter is the guy that I have been cursing from my balcony….I tried to cover my face, but had to turn to get a good look. Oh, he is a perfect specimen, tall, tan, and fit. Our eyes met and I smiled my friendly I want to come to your room and have sex with you smile. Walking back to the room smiling I thought “was he looking at the counter girl or me, it had to be me, we kept staring at each other the night before” Once I was in my room I thought go to the balcony and see if he comes out. Anyways, that was becoming to much work so I decided to take a bath, talk on the phone, and met up with my good friend Ambian…love her she puts me right to sleep for at least 8 hours.

Speaking of Ambian, I had to change my doctor to FL, so I asked for the prescription and my doctor said…..”You are too young to be addicted, try to only take them on the weekend”…..OK whatever, right the prescription lady and oh by the way, cute Coach Shoes. I was thinking in my head, I don’t have an addiction to sleeping pills, I think an addiction would consist of taking 2 pills a night and I only take one. Who is she anyways?

Tonight looks promising, going to Martini Ranch across the street from the office to have a drink with the CUTE associates in the office, the only ones with personality and then I will be checking out a few of Scottsdale’s gay bars, can’t wait. Have not had a one-night stand in a longtime, but now even if I did and I may or may not…NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!!!! Ok well I will tell everyone but anyways, I won’t fell badly since nobody knows me here and they wont gossip about me leaving the bar with some strange man or boy. Details in the coming days….stay tuned.

On another note, back when I was with my 1st boyfriend Jason, I was 18, he was 30…I had always been attracted to older men and I had asked him if that would change. He said yes, when he was younger he was attracted to older men and around the age of 25 it changed…..well in the past months I have found some cute young boys that I would not mind tearing up. Hmm, I am so horny!!!!

Scottsdale, AZ.....

.

Flew into Phoenix last night, love it, so beautiful here. I have never been to the desert before. I got lost trying to get to the hotel. I stopped 3 times and each time I was headed in the wrong direct….over it. Checked in, got a room overlooking the pool a big plus, already spotted a cute guy checking me out from the balcony, hmm will have to investigate.

Everything is going ok in the office, the Operations Director is such a pain, but now that I met his staff I understand why. Six days left until I return home to Dallas, can’t wait! I might how to go have a drink tonight…..

Hurricane Update…..
Upper Management is in a meeting determining when we can fly home tonight. So irritated with these damn Hurricane’s. It is just so hard to sit and wait and not know what is going to happen. Anyways, I guess we are going to fly back to Fort Lauderdale, and then I turn around and fly out on Wednesday to Scottsdale, AZ. Oh well, I will get two more nights of restful sleep in my own bed.

Light at the end of the tunnel……
It looks like this project may end…..as of right now we have 4 conversions left until Spherion will be fully converted to PeopleSoft. So looks like I will either have another position or will be standing in the unemployment line, let’s hope for a new position!!!

Feeling Depressed…..
So my birthday is around the corner and I seem to gage everything in my life by my birthday each year (i.e. achieved goals, personnel growth, health). This year I am feeling more depressed since it is my 25th birthday. I guess my friends say I am too hard on myself, but that is hard for me to change. I just feel that I should be more stable than I am now. I don’t have a boyfriend, I’m ALONE and it sucks. I have not stopped PARTYING; I have slowed down a bit. I have gained weight since I have been on this project, I blame the company for giving me a food allowance, but that is now excuse since I could order better food. I guess I have an excuse for everything, but that is not the point. I still live paycheck to paycheck and don'e understand why when I pay no rent, utilities, gas, & food. I have no savings and I start and stop my 401K every couple of months…..they make it to easy to do that. Well I guess I am just a kid, but I have to ask myself when will I become more responsible as an adult? When will I own something of my own? When will I be debt free….LOL…..NEVER! When does life get easier, can anyone answer that? I guess you could say I am not looking forward to this birthday.

Bitch Session.....

So I just got out of a meeting and they informed me that once again, due to the treat of hurricane Ivan we are being sent to Atlanta to work next week. E-mail from manager:

As you are aware, you are part of the team that will potentially dispatch to another area to continue business operations in the event that this facility must close due to Hurricane Ivan.
The Business Continuity Team has been monitoring Hurricane Ivan. It is a category 4 hurricane with some projections that it may hit some part of Florida by Sunday.
Updates on the status of this building will be made as they are available. If the building is to close and you are to relocate to the alternative site in Atlanta, it is anticipated that a small number of you would travel on Friday and the majority on Saturday. Travel arrangements are currently being made on your behalf for the trip.

Please get with me should you require time to prepare yourself or your home for the relocation. We remain hopeful that the storm will not cause any significant impact to our operations or long-term closure of our building. However, as this is not predictable, we advise you to prepare to bring enough clothing to be away for approximately seven calendar days.

So not to complain or anything but this sucks for me. I have no clean cloths since I just got back from Atlanta and I am exhausted from travel already.

.

My Schedule for Upcoming Weeks
Sept. 11th-15th Atlanta, GA
Sept. 15th-22nd Phoenix, AZ
Sept. 22nd-26th Dallas, TX

My B-day is in 13 Days, Quarter of a Century Old!

It is nice to be home again.....

I could not get up this morning, I was so tired. Had a great day at work playing catch up. Everything was going good, we had a good day at work and got a Thank you from the top for driving to Atlanta, supposedly by choice, I was not given a choice I was told, but I guess it sounded better that way...Here is the e-mail and we got 2 comp days, YIPPIE!

"On behalf of the Business Continuity Committee, I want to thank you for the tremendous effort you put forth this past weekend. We knew when we created the BC Plan that our biggest exposure, yet most critical piece, was relocating associates from the CSC to the AOC. Your willingness to travel and phenomenal teamwork displayed, proved our plan and more importantly kept the business running.

Again - You did an outstanding job! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I left work about 7pm, and had to run by Wendy's. I was so craving a #4 Big Bacon Classic Combo, well when I get to the order menu there was a sign posted saying "No Meat, Cheese, or Salads due to hurricane. UGH, Damn it! I had to get the Crispy Chicken Nuggets instead.

We way over prepared for this Hurricane, I packed and put almost everything up, not doing that again. I started to hook up the DVD, AV, & Tivo to the TV and it took forever, 3 hours later when I had all the cords tied nice and neat I powered everything on and TIVO said not signal.....count to 10 Brian....took a deep breath and almost cried when I realized I pulged the Yellow Video cable into the Audio hole....LOL

I missed TIVO, oh and Aaron asks me.....Did it record our shows on Sunday....LOL I did not even answer....GOD LOVE HER!

.

We still have not been told when we can book our flights! We had dinner at my VPs house last night and we asked her. There are 2 flights on AirTran (don’t they crash) that are not booked for Tuesday, 11am or 5pm.”Well, lets just wait and see how things are tomorrow”. OK, so she says I need you guys to go into the office in the morning. To do what? We can’t really do much from the Atlanta office, so I checked my e-mail and read blogs all morning. Let me tell you I was productive! We get a call at 10am from our manager asking us to book the 5pm flight home. We scramble to book the flights and leave to get back to the hotel and pack. We leave at noon, and have to go by Marshall’s to get an extra piece of luggage since Rena brought everything she owned. 12:30pm we arrive at the hotel to start packing, takes about 45 minutes to pack and check out. On the road at 1:15pm to return the car….oh and I forgot to tell you that what is left of Hurricane Fances is over our heads, it had been raining all morning. We get to the airport at 2:15pm to turn in the car, we pull up to National and it was pouring, so we all get out and scramble to get our luggage and head to the bus that takes us to the terminal. Once we arrived at the terminal we organize our luggage. Here is what we had taken:

Brian
One large piece of luggage to check and one carry on.
Aaron
One VERY large piece of luggage to check, 2 carry on items, and his Whinny The Pooh. (Had to bring him to make sure he did not drown or something like that.)
John
One garment bag and one piece of luggage to check.
Rena (Also known as High Maintenance Barbie)
Two VERY large pieces of luggage to check, 1 duffle bag of all her pictures, 2 full shopping bags (falling apart from the rain), 2 down pillows, 1 pink stuffed animal dog named Penelope, and 1 Coach purse.

It was a pain lugging them through the airport, I was hot, wet, and irritated! We got to the ticket counter by 3pm, only to find a hella long line. My patience level was low and I was on the verge of snapping when they pulled us into another line that was much faster. Once our luggage was checked we proceeded to security and the Atlanta airport is huge, this must have been the largest security area I have seen since I have been traveling. The line was going quick when again we where pulled into another line, I was like man this day is getting better…..um, NO. Since we only bought a one way ticket we where singled out as I guess potential terrorists. The line took almost an hour of twisting, turning, and complaining from the 4 of us. I tried to entertain myself by cruising the hot guys that walked by. That is one thing that I will have to admit, Atlanta has some HOT MEN! After an hour of waiting, and nothing but an ugly TSA agent patting me down to look forward too I was once again, in a bad mood. I was dreaming of my apartment and bed, when I looked at my watch and it was 4pm, yes, 1 hour until our flight leaves. We have just enough time to grab a bite to eat and board the plane when I look up at the monitors with much DISMAY; it showed our flight was delayed until 7:55. OH, NO MAM!!!! We got home about 10:30pm and it was 85 degrees in the apartment, YUCK!!! I unpacked, took a sleeping pill and went to bed.

I am ready to go home......

Wow, the W Atlanta is amazing!!!!

.

Well I am still in Atlanta, we transferred closer to our Alpharetta office staying at the W. We got a suite with the corporate rate for $125 and it is fabulous. Can't wait to get home, down to my last pair of undies. No damage to our apartments, no power though. Hope to fly home tonight or tomorrow.

Update from Atlanta....

.

In the words of Cyndi and Celine……We Drove all Night……to get to Atlanta. Let’s back up a bit. Wednesday at 4pm my manager let’s the fly team know that arrangements have been made for us to travel to our Atlanta corporate office to get out of the way of the Hurricane, I was happy that they where worried about my safety. Well it comes out that since we are on a project here, we are a liability to the company. So I am thinking, well this will be good to get out of the path of the Storm. So my Mom calls, Dramatic Barbie, oh god, it is going straight to ATL. We packed cloths and tired to put up all our personal belongings up, and get this, we are in corporate apartments and they don’t have renters insurance on us, anything that is not Marriott is not covered, FUCK THAT. I just pray for my computer with all my music and pics, dvds, and a new addition to my family TIVO are OK. My thoughts and prayers are with them. We had to drive since we could not get a flight out. Ugh, over that drive….Where is my limo?

We left Fort Lauderdale about 8pm, the tolls where suspended on the toll way and traffic was surprisingly light. We could tell it was picking up since gas stations where running out of gas. It was a 10-hour drive to ATL. I was joined with 3 other associates Aaron, Rena, and John. We had a good time on the way up, but we where tired. We got to the Westin downtown about 7:30am. I love the Westin the heavenly beds are to die for. I went straight to bed. We did not anticipate coming into the office on Thursday, we figured we would just have a great weekend and party in ATL, well management did not have the same plan. We get a call from our manager at 10am, asking if we could make it in at noon. Ok, we did not get out of bed until 11am and we are an hour away from Alpharetta. OVER IT, we where like, we will get there when we get there.

We got into the office at 2pm, and we where the only ones that had made it in from corporate. We where immediately put on the phones to field the calls from all offices nationwide. OMG, it was crazy. We left around 6pm and were asked to be back at 8am. We did not even get a thanks for driving all through the night, getting a few hours of sleep and coming into work. FUCK YOU SPHERION. Anyways, I am over it back at work and excited to go out tonight. Depending on how bad Fort Lauderdale is hit; we might be working from here for the next 2 weeks. There is even talk about moving the project to ATL. Oh Lord! Here is an e-mail from my co-worker Jenny who is with her family in Melbourne

E-mail from Jenny
“man this place is a MAD HOUSE. i'm
glad you guys got out of here. i'm worried about mary

DAMN IT, FRANCES

Corporate is sending the FLY team to Atlanta.....Damn Hurricane. ;-(

Trip to NYC / Elgins 23rd Birthday

Thursday
Aaron and my flight landed at 4:45pm at JFK. Elgin and Neil had already landed and met us at the baggage belt. It was so nice to see Neil and Elgin, I had not seen them since gay Disney and it put a huge smile on my face. I love my sisters…..We got on the AirTrain to Howard Beach to catch the A train to Mikey’s, and I was like ladies, sit back and relax, because 181st is a long ride. Instantly we all hit it off, laughing and catching up I was so excited about this trip. We got to Mikey’s at almost 7pm and was worn out form the train ride, but there where many hotties on the way up. It is so funny, for some reason we kept sitting underneath the subway maps on the train, and this total hottie was looking at us. Neil, Aaron, and I thought he was staring at us, LOL; he was looking at the map. We ended up talking to him and he had a thick…..thick COCK…I mean a thick Boston accent, we asked him where he goes out in NYC and he said he was meting his girlfriend and she was going to take him out. I was like whatever he is so not straight, but now days you can never tell with all these metrosexuals. We started our night off with a few drinks at the apt, and then went to Stonewall, cute and was cool because of the history. We ended up leaving and going to Splash, I hate Splash so I know we all had to have been drunk to go there. Needless to say we got tore up, bought some BC Powder (http://www.tragic.com/ ladies) from a guy off the street and went home….BITTER!!!! Mikey had to work the next morning and I don’t know how she woke up, but she did.

Friday
OK, talk about hung over, we woke up and showered around noon. When we got down to the subway, I almost lost my cookies, it was humid and I started sweating thank god the train was cold. We went to Tiffany’s to surprise Elgin with his B-day gift. We walked around for a few hours and ran into an old friend from Dallas, how ironic is that. A city of almost 8 million people and we run into Stew Bear from Dallas, to funny we talked and moved on. When Mikey got home from work, she was not smiling, we went over all the tragic events of the night and laughed….(Aaron having the Britney Dance off with some queens, the confusion between the bar we thought was Detention, was really Stonewall upstairs). Night 2, We headed to Opaline to have some drinks and dance for a bit, drank a little to much, everyone kept buying each other shots, I was like thanks I just had 3 of them, but what’s one more. Miss Mikey was mugging down with Dr. Pokey Pants and honestly I was confused everyone was kissing someone and then it was like everyone traded for sample….so confusing I think we ended up kissing about 40 people that night. I met a cute guy named Christopher, we kissed, fell in love, and then everyone was ready to go….go figure my luck. Daniel comes over and says we are leaving and I was like BYE…..LOL. Chris was a little drunk so we said our goodbyes with our tongues and then the girls headed to Boys Room. Now, I think it is almost 2am by this time and we are feeling good…More drinks and dancing and then I look up and Mikey is dancing on the box with his shirt off and 3 guys are trying to take his pants down. Miss Mess, clean up on aisle five and it did not help that she had a jock strap on underneath the pants, more incentive for them to get her pants down…..god love ya Mikey. So we found that there was an after hours with Junior Vasquez and Neil was rounding everyone up to go there, when, know on really knows what happened, but Daniel and Aaron get into a fight outside of the bar…..IT WAS DRAMATIC! Screaming, wrestling, and some not very nice words where said. The groups split and went our separate ways. Neil, Daniel and I ended up going to Junior’s B-Day bash, which was fabulous. Got home around 7am and crashed.

Saturday
We lay around the apt. all day long, got ready for Dinner at Intermezzo, cute and very trendy in Chelsea, loved it, so cute. Saw AIDA staring Deborah Cox and she tore it up. I was so wanting her to end the show with her dance mix…..she is an amazing artist. After the show it was off to the ROXY. It was so funny all day everyone was like, I am so not drinking tonight and don’t you know as soon as we get inside we were at the bar filling up with free drinks. Oh and then came the GOLDSLAUGGER shots (who’s idea was that) they almost maid me puck….and Neil and Mikey, well they were not as lucky as me. We tore it up on the dance floor. Elgin and Aaron went home EARLY, Neil found the DARK room where she was a TRASHY HO…..She was a mess; needless to say she got her rocks off. I so never thought that really happened in clubs; boy did I learn something new. Neil and Mikey left when they got sick and Daniel and I left around 4am. One of the best things about NYC is Gray’s Papaya; you can get the special for like $2. So we headed in that direction, and took forever since they where preparing for the damn republican convention, but all the NYC cops where hot, so I was not that upset by it. Miss Daniel saw a White Castle next door and decides it would be better, YUCK, if you have not had it DON’T, tasted like SHIT, and I look over while I am eating my SHIT burger and see this girl cutting corns off of her feet… PUCK…OH, TAKE ME HOME NOW, I have seen too much for one night. I think her corns smelled like the shit burger….

Sunday
We went to the park for a bit and then started packing to go home, got on the train a little late, Elgin ended up missing his flight to Dallas, so he met Daniel back in the city. Neil’s flight was postponed due to weather in Atlanta and had to stay the night there. Our flight was late as well and we got in at Midnight. It was crazy, it was messy, but most of all it was fun and nice to see my sisters, I LOVE YOU ALL MORE THAN YOU KNOW. Yag-Yag

Interesting Quiz..... Take it and send me your results!

Here are my results:
You are a XPYG--Expressive Practical Physical Giver. This makes you a Roving Spouse.You are magnetic, charming, and impossible to resist. You have no problem with approaching the opposite sex -- it just comes naturally to you, and the thrill of warming up a stranger is one of your great drives. Still, very few people really know you. You don't just *feel* misunderstood -- you are. You are probably nursing a heartache that you never let on.

You're calm in a conflict (almost *too* calm -- a more emotional partner may wonder why you're not more engaged) and quick with affection. Fighting makes you uncomfortable, but as you avoid direct conflict your frustrations can manifest in the cold shoulder and passive-aggression, which is no better! Still, you make a loving, doting parent -- giving more love than discipline -- and your children prefer you.

Like an XSYG, you put so much thought and effort in what you give to your partner that you feel dismissed and unappreciated if you don't get the same in return. You also give and think so much that you can also talk yourself into cheating -- physically or emotionally -- and this can lead a cycle of conflict, guilt, conflict-avoidance, chilly atmosphere and then more cheating. But you'll stay with your partner in the long run from guilt and a desire to please.

You've got to open up! You express and give so much of yourself in other ways -- don't be afraid to express what's bothering you.

I'm only being so hard on you because you remind me of me.

Misty May...Gold Medal Winner

.

Here is Aaron with Misty May, the Olympic Gold winner for Team USA in volleyball. We met her at a Marlins Pre-Season game. She was there for her fiancé Matthew Treanor who plays for the Marlins. She was super sweet and invited us to a volleyball tournament VIP style....We are so happy for her to win the GOLD. Way to go Misty.

On another note......
OK, help me understand this. One of my dream cars is an Mercedes S55 AMG, and I saw one on my way to lunch. It had an Equal Rights sticker on the back, so I had to speed up to see if he was cute, he was beyond cute....total hottie. So I smile and look down and saw his rims.....omg... ghetto spinners. WHY DO PEOPLE THINK THOSE ARE CUTE? He lost all his sex appeal after that.
