VOLCHOK, DRESS & PET STEALER

OC fans! The new face of GAP is bad boy (hottie) Volchok! I saw this ad in the window of GAP yesterday when I was walking through Warwick Mall. Pretty cool huh? Or not...maybe its just me. :)

Wednesday night, November 19th....*my birthday*...instead of hanging w/ Steve I will be wearing this dress while attending the New England Vision Awards Ceremony w/ my COX co-workers......A few of you know that I have been on the NEVA committee the past couple of months & have been working hard by planning, planning & planning for it! Even though it’s going to be a great night w/ some great people from my company I am a bit bummed. I will be spending my 28th birthday doing work stuff until probably 2am the next day. It’s been very exciting putting this yearly event together & it has definitely been an honor being on the committee but of course I wish it didn’t have to fall on this day. Unfortunately not many people are allowed to bring dates this year, especially those who are involved in the planning process since we will be running around all evening. Oh well…what can I do…. I am excited though, I’ve been busting my butt & it shows because everything is really coming together! It’s a cocktail type event so the attire is a lil fancy….great food & lots of drinks are included so that’s a plus! But yah if I had the choice I would so much rather spend the evening w/ a certain someone….

Steve's new name is "pet stealer Steve"....it's a bit hard to see but Kippy is purched up on his ankle. Lately Molly has been choosing him over me during our DVR & TV time! What's up w/ that???

Its soooooooooooooo killing me that I can’t post the photo shoot pictures of me, Steve & Ashley & Louis from the weekend they visited. I’ve been ordered told I have to save them as a “surprise” for my Dad (& Mom) since they are for his Christmas present. My Dad obviously knew we took them since he asked for them for his office but we are saving the surprise of what they look like for Christmas morning! Don’t’ worry Dad…the photos of us 4 “kids” came out great! And yes, they were without alcohol & funny faces or kissy faces! HA!....Most of my readers though can view them on MS or FB, so it’s all good. If you can’t by chance & you wanna see them let me know & I will email a few to ya!...........Our weekend with my sister & brother in law was FANTASTIC! We had such a great time! Here was our schedule… FRIDAY: Steve’s old HS football game w/ the crew to see the Panthers play-his old stomping ground in Plainfield, CT-his bro Matt actually helps coach them…..picked up Ash & Lou at the teeny tiny Providence airport 5 miles from our apartment around 10:30pm…..headed back to our apartment to show our place off, eat a late dinner, relax, watch TV & harass Ashley while she feel asleep shortly after we arrived…..SATURDAY: Photo shoot in the Johnston Memorial Park across the street…lunch at the BEST place ever “Fire & Ice” in Providence, a lil site seeing in the city & window shopping in Providence Place mall…..came back to relax & refresh, then the crew came over, met up with the rest of the crew & took the public bus back into the city for the Providence Beer Festival-the festival was so much fun!-lots of long lines but really they didn’t take that long to get to the front-we cold have used a bigger cup though instead of a small bathroom style cup…definitely a great experience and fun time with everyone that we hung out with-I am pretty bummed about my pictures though-something was up with my camera! I don’t know why the shots were so dark & unclear…uggg…oh well…..a quick pit stop at the bar Ri Ra….took a cab home & pretty much crashed shortly after we walked in the door….SUNDAY: Of course I made everyone my famous French Toast…the 4 of us split up for a few hours….Lou & I searched for some tattoo shops but each one we ran across was closed! After finding our way back home since I am still very unfamiliar with the area…we picked up wings & pizza to go….Steve & Ash did a lil Christmas shopping or window shopping…who knows, since they walked in the door empty handed!....The boys watched football the rest of the day while Ash & I got denied by my favorite sushi place-that was closed too! Booo to Sundays!....So off to TJ Max, Old Navy, GAP ect we went! I lucked out at Old Navy! Ash & Lou bought me some early birthday gifts! A black down vest, a blue floral top & grey dress pants! Yesss! SCORE! Thank you again A&L!!!...Steve made his chicken tacos for dinner, we did a lil more relaxing & then headed to the airport around 8pm. It was sooooo nice that they didn’t fly out until 9:30pm that night! We had the entire day to hang out! That made it so much better! As you can see all in all it was a wonderful weekend!!!!! We cant wait for them to come back & visit again….in the mean time…WHO’S NEXT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

HAPPY (belated) BATHROOM MAKE-OUT DAY

I’m a day late for this BUT happy 2 year anniversary of our infamous bathroom make-out Steven! :) Most of you know the story…for those of you who don’t you will have to ask for the complete details! Just so you get the idea…Steve & I first officially met November 9th, 2006 @ Joe Dooley’s parents house at their wedding party/“kitchen party” (no not a tupperware party), just 2 days before Joe & Pam Brock’s wedding! After Pam & Joe’s wedding reception on November 11th, 2006 (and after Tiffany chipped my tooth of course) it alllll went down in the Women’s bathroom! Drama & all-including Steve hiding in one of the stalls! BUT it was well worth it because look where it got us today! I am so incredibly thankful that Steve had the guts to plant a big one on me! HA! I love you babe! Here is a photo of us a few hours before the incident! (Oh I guess I forgot to mention the part about me dating someone at the time…but it’s OK cause he was a controlling ass.)

I should also say happy (belated) 2 year wedding anniversary to Pamela & Joseph!

OH...& thank you Andy Thorpe for putting in a good word for me during that unforgettable weekend in 2006! ;)
