went to the bier garden last night with authentic Austrian men (co-workers to josh). one of them was dressed like he was right out of busch gardens. i loved it. i ate spatzle and drank myself silly.
then the storm came and rained all over my straight hair. destroyed.
new hair product love:

shiniest/softest hair in town, dudes.
pool party at cody's after work. yaaa!

some photos from the lake:









i love tommy's lake house and i especially love his boat. i can't wait for more summer adventures out there!
the magic beat the cavaliers last night and are now in the lead 3-1 for the east. they may have beat the celtics but i'd be happy no matter who beat lebron. hes the worst in my heart.sort of.
also two things that i have recently discovered:
greek yogurt and morning star riblets. delicious!

i had a great weekend just like i thought! we spent all weekend at the lake house with tommy and jenny. we did a lot of swimming, boat riding, jet ski driving, drinking, good eating, and reallly good sleeping. although i am now pretty scared of snapping turtles it was a lot of fun and i'm sad its all over and its back to work. i have many pictures that i will post some day. josh and i have been planning a trip to somewhere for a while now and i think we're going to (have to) take it soon because we like being away that much. and because my school starts the first week of july and who knows when i'll be able to go on long trips after that.
and i have so many crazy feelings about starting school again. but whatever.

holy moly i have 30 min and then its off to the lake house!
hello sunshine, swimming, boat rides, canoe rides!, photos...yea!
and i thought i'd be inside all weekend.
the lake house is the site of where josh and i fell in love. how wonderful hah.
see you all again someday!

i didn't go to coldplay but i did finally get to do this painting. it was done by request by a girl i work with. its my interpretation of a cat litter company's ad.




i think its cute. i was forced to play beer pong and be one of the guys last night. no complaints i suppose!

home sick from work today. just watched "the reader". finally. i can't really explain how i feel right now after watching it. it was not what i expected and i'm pretty sure i liked that. i wonder how i ever learned to read. i feel like kate winslet should be in everything i watch/do today.
i also like the "local heroes" comic shop next to cogans. its the cutest comic shop i've been in. so comfy. how did i never notice it? i almost bought volume 1 of "fables" but then didn't because george always raved about it and then that made me not want to. but people always rave about "the dark knight returns" and that remains a top pick to me. i'm a fickle shopper. i am having a very quiet afternoon getting absolutely nothing done and i love it.

i remember hearing this when i was a really little kimmy and thinking i was really cool and needing to be really cool. it was during a time that would be the beginning of fashion disasters and playing in girl bands for me. when i think about it i've been in some form of a band for most of my life. it started in middle school with katie, jess and i on clarinet, flute, and cello (we had to start somewhere) and we went from there to electric guitars and liz on drums and then lara's appearance into my life later in highschool. then steve came into play and katie, jess and liz were all far off at schools. steve went away to turn into a tool bag leaving lara and i to turn 21 and become drunken bar singers. i made a series of bad choices and lara and i divorced and for the first time in forever i am doing nothing musically. i hate it.

the celtics lost last night ending serie 2 and ending the playoffs and ruining everything for my little heart. i seriously cried. i have fallen ill so my whimpers were probably mainly from being a baby. but i was bummed. josh held me as my snotty nose and i went to sleep and told me theres always next year.

im going to make vegetable soup and not be sick anymore.

lately i've really been hating on eggs. especially the organic ones i usually live off of. no one can give me an egg anything that makes me want to keep eating them it seems. i wanted to make a quiche today. because that would be something different. but then i decided that i hate eggs. so i found a tofu recipe. but i have no tofu. and i need satisfaction soon. anyway, i do love raisin bran so heeeey good morning!
i really wish josh had more than just sundays off. almost 12 hour days everyday with no guarantee that sunday will always be free. i wish this for his sake really. i don't want it to kill him. the pay is good and the benefits are amazing but i worry. i tell him we could live anywhere (preferably on the road outside of the US as gypsies) but he says we have to have nice things and a good home to put children and his imac in. and i do appreciate that. josh has really come a long way. i am very very proud of him.
celtics play game seven tonight. they better not be jerks!
i wore my first long dress of the season last night. being a small human some things make me feel even smaller but this just made me feel fancy.
i need to finish this book i've been reading for ages. two hundred more pages to go. ouch ouch.
the rain needs to stop happening. i want to go to busch gardens and use the tickets that have been sitting in my room for weeks!

helllooooo la dolce vita.

saw this trailer last night. penelope cruz and daniel day-lewis. delicious!
now i miss italy. someday i'll be there again.

me: it looks like asia
tristan: yeah like asia vu.
some photos from my wednesday.







i get to wear jeans to work today. yesss.

according to forbes.com a shampooer is number five on their worst paying jobs list.
i can't believe it really even made the cut. shampooer? really?
damn.
good thing school starts in exactly 2 months.
then i will be all up in peoples grills. literally. bad joke.
for anyone who doesn't know already i am signed up and partially paid for schoolin to become a dental assistant. i get to do x-rays and wear scrubs. two things that i am most excited about. not too excited about learning to study and take tests again though.
i told my boss that i wouldn't be around much longer after the summer. changes are good.

saw star trek. i loved it.
josh just bought an imac. we've been really enjoying it.


we cuddled and smooched and proclaimed just how awesome we were to each other and then the celtics won.


thank goodness.

my mom is an intimidating, loud, red headed woman from new jersey who has always forced foreign films and museum trips into my life demanding that i get cultured. she fought hard into the italian family of my father which only increased her powers and taught her to make the best meatballs and zeppolis i've ever had. meat temptation. ask her any question about the history of any woman and she probably has the answer. ask her anything about star trek and i know she has the answer. i grew up knowing barbara streisand and bette midler and being taken to broadway plays. waking up in the morning to the sounds of her and her sisters hollering not because theyre mad but because thats just the way they communicate and having to fight my way into conversation i think is the reason why i have absolutely no volume control for such a small human. my mom always told me never to marry an italian man because though they were great lovers they were all whores. she also slammed my hand in the car door an hour before i was boarding a plane to venice. she knew what she was doing.
i love mothers. i really do. because even though i can complain and tell everyone how scary she is she is seriously the smartest and strongest woman i know and i like having some of that blood inside of me.
so today heres to my mom and jersey.

ahhhh!

Talking Cat Says "Hello" @ Yahoo! Video

i love that picture.
my parents gave me a ray allen jersey for my birthday. ooooh yeaaah! hes my 3 point shooting dream boat.
and josh gave me the prettiest diamond necklace in town! i definitely was surprised. he loves me.
i had a really great birthday. good friends and family. nice.
i love everyone.
and we all need an nyc trip.

taken from julia's twitter. 23 so far.

my birthday is happening tomorrow whether i like it or not.
i purchased new conditioner. very very expensive conditioner. my hair smells like birthday.

nice try, boys. we try again tomorrow.
i'm running late this morning. i wish i had a poptart.
happy cinco de mayo. i probably should drink margaritas tonight.
can't wait for siete de mayo!

i was 19 or 20.
i was small. with big hair.
certain things have to stay the same.

the blood drive came to the mall yesterday and i just HAD to go donate. my blood is high in iron and that is good news to me. i was very concerned for a while that i may be anemic since i feel i don't always get all the nutrients i need. i win. they gave me a hat and some pretzels cha ching!
after work i watched the final series one playoff game and luckily the celtics won. wahoo! on to series two against the magic and my brains and insides can explode a little more in suspense!
who knew i'd learn to really like basketball. when josh and first started dating i told him that i really only noticed the different colors during a game and i couldn't focus at all. but i think the purchase of a really cool garnett jersey inspired me to get into it. i just think its a lot of fun. wish i had long legs. i'm going to give birth to an nba player.
when josh and i woke up this morning we immediately drove to the beach. i forgot my camera. big mistake. i watched a seagull eat something i don't think seagulls or humans should eat. not sure what it was. i just know it wasn't edible. i'm pretty sure that seagulls gonna die. we had a perfect morning though lounging and splashing. the water is still too cold to really be happy about. i washed my hair three times and i'm still sandier than ever.
its getting dark outside now and the rains coming down and i miss julia. when you off next, girl? gonna see ryan tomorrow. pretty pumped! nothing left to say. i wish i would've taken pictures of something cool. eh.

megan contacted false cape park (the back back number went to them?) about the back bay death sightings and they blamed it on hunting and dumping even though there's a sign that says no hunting or animal tormenting. the woman had no explanation for the deer tied to the tree and said she was going to call back bay and ask them. whaatteevver they're just covering up their death land. we're going to go back but last night i turned on animal planet and watched a show on wild hogs in america. killing machines! i got a little nervous. enough of this, right.
i need new photos. of everything.
i'm so happy that its saturday. just want to get this work day over. i kind of really want to fast forward to july so i can start school and then end school and then be awesome.
