The girls decided to wear our holiday sweaters and jam out some holiday chistmas carols on the eve of christmas eve!!
On the EVE of Christmas I go up my grandparents every year… This year was a rush because I sang in church choir for midnight mass (at 10) and had to be there at 8:30 so dinner was a little rushed and I didnt really get to eat much…
We have a late dinner because Santa comes because he a good friend of my family… he makes a special stop each year before headin on his way! This year I found out Santa did not stop by because Rudolf was sick and needed extra time or something… PISH POSH…. they said we were all to old.
Well I am with Virgina and all the rest of the people on 34th street when I say “THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS”!
…
the spirt of santa, and the smiles he brings even when your 90… or 190 years old.
So finally last week or so the SCRANTON area finally got a good snow storm…
It snowed a couple inches here, a couple inches there… all and all my doggie loved it!!
My new apartment has a great big yard for him to run and play in! It also has an electrical fence but I am not sure how I feel about that yet… so for now he has a great big leash!
That is the veiw from my porch! The yard goes all the way up to the trees in the right of the picture!!
I am not sure if I wrote in my previous blogs that I moved back into the house I grew up in! My parents moved out of the house about 3 years ago… It became availbe for rent sooooo I am renting it, from my uncle, but it’s a great price for a great place!
Sooooo back to the SNOW!
I finally went skiing!! FINALLY!!! Tested out my new bad boys -Harry & Lloyd ( yes I name things too much), my new skis.
I took a couple of the Langans.
MC had skied before, but it was Patrick’s first time!! He was like a natural. I promised him I would teach him how to ski back in the summer. For his birthday i rented him skis for the season!
It was easy to teach him… plus there was a big gand of us on the mountain. It was funny though because as soon as we got to Sno Mountain we had to wait an hour to save 25$ a piece, so we went in the lodge.
Pat look dapper!
Myself, Pat, and MC by the fire…
So after drinking a few Irish Coffees and Root Beers (for pat)… We eneded up getting tickets, free tickets, be we know important people and we are awesome!
Since then I try to get “up da mountain” 1-3 times a week… with passes and what not… otherwise I would be broke.
I can’t wait to take Pat skiing again! I think he really enjoyed himself!
Meet the iSound… I call her EKHO. ( greek, a mountain nymph who loved her own voice.)
The iSound can provide an extra 30 hours of music, 6 hours of video and up to 3 hours of extra talk time. Plus, it is a pretty good price!!
It is a nice little fella’ !!! As well as being able to charge your iPhone it can also charge your iPod as well.
I saw her sitting on the self when I went to go pay my iPhone bill today and had to make this purchase. It is good for someone like me who is always on the go and can never find an outlet!!
Now, all I need is a giant bag to carry all my gagets in… a big bag with lots of little pockets!! I like pockets! Especially HOT POCKETS!
I have not “had” internet in some time now. Yes, it is hard. Yes, it bothers me. … and why YES! It is like a vacation!
I use “had” quotes because I do have my lovly iPhone that keeps me updated on certain things… however I can not write a blog on it. I borrowed some internet to post a video that I had been playing with. I little short skit on my ski-buying experience…
Watch it here:
Sooooooooooooo…..
The reason I do not have internet is because I moved. Moved aagin, yes. I moved because my rent was a litte high for what my place was and I needed more space kinda. My old apartment wasn’t all that bad… for myself. Then my friend Kris moved in and it was fine for awhile. It was too small for my puppy and it didnt have a yard or anything. Apollo, my doggie, loves to run! Also, my down stairs neighbor contantly complaned we were loud… i would sneeze and in 5 mins she would be knocking at the door telling me I was having some crazy party or something. ARGE!!!!
So, I moved to suburbia… Actually still the SCRANTON area. I moved about 3-5 minutes away from my place. Just out of the city. My new place is 100$ bucks more… but it a 4 bedroom, newly remodeled (nice), with a huge yard, pool, driveway… oh and did I mention all utilies included…. ohhhhhhh and I forgot, I grew up in this house! Excepted, now its mine! All mine!!! …. and Apollo, Kris, and Nick’s. Nick is new. He’s a cool red wearing hat guy that has a marvious soul and likes to randomly get tattoo on a weekly/monthly basis.
Suburbia!
Also, a Matthew Good song that is my favorite Matthew Good song.
Matthew Good was introduced to me by the awesome Mike Langan… who I miss soooo very much! He’s still in Iraq and I miss how he makes me laugh and his complete utter random-ness!!! I have’nt heard from him in a little while, but I am sure he is doing fine! His little sister just turned 5… I got her a Dora Explorer Purse and coloring book! SHe is by far my favorite 5 year old EVER! Next in line is my cousin Carley… but she is still 4…. so techniclly…
This is my cousin Carley…
Wearing my sister head dress… My family is part Native American…. and we have some weird stuff!
I have a dead squirrl in my car. His name is “SQUIRRL”. I also have 2 throw pilliows made od squirrl! …Okay I scared you now. haha!
ARGE! My foot is numb!
What else, what else…
Oh.
I nwo sing for St. Anythony’s of Padua Choir! I enjoy it. I am not really a church going person… but things in my life are changing and I am opening an exploring life!
EXPLORING LIFE!
I have saved money for my deposit for the EGYPT trip that is in the works. I am going with my old highschool. My pre-new years resoulution is to travel and get out there. I want to see certain places before my time is up and I will work hard to get there and get the things I want in life!!
Well…
I will be going to Egpyt at the end of june with my old high school and favorite instructor!!! I can not wait. I need 3,000$ more. i will get it! the trip is a 10/12 days trip and I will be going up and down that nile river like crazy!!! I am seeing a LOT of old cool things. I can not wait because it is a subject that interest me very much!! I am a western civ buff and I actually have my minor in it!!!
what else…. what else….
I PROMISE I WIL UPDATE MORE OFTEN NOW!!!
My new place has no internet yet and we are working on setting that up… I have no room currently and sleeping on the floor. My bed is in my room already but the room is being worked on. I took the attic and we are insulating it so it stays warm. I wasnt sure if I was taking that room for my bedroom or not because I was not certain I would get a bed, especially my bed, up the stairs.
That is Trevor at the top of the stairs pulling…
This is Kris at the bottom pushing…
Notice the expression on Kris’s face.
It was ice cold rain the day we moved… Kris was in the worst mood I have EVER! seen him… and on top of it I was full of laughter and taking pictures which got Kris a little more upset. I did help! I just can’t lift things all by myself! I have no upper body strength!
So its took 4 people to shove it up… and its staying up there. The floors is fine. However, i am lving out a bins and boxes and realized I have a lot of stuff I don’t need. So later tonight I am going through it all!!!! I am going to donate what I don’t need, give stuff to friends, or throw things out! I know I will be donating a lot!
I am searching for another job!!! My 2 are not enough!! I need to make and save money. I will work hard to get the things I want! I know they seem stupid to a lot of people but they do mean a lot to me!!
I am using the words A LOT often in this blog…
I joined a gym! I will be working out everyday, getting back into shape. I am actually using the machines!!! I gained some weight since my surgery last year and now its bugging me…
From one of the machines… I find it funny! It looks like a ghost and a picture of a hand dropping a gun. BOO! Drop your weapon!!! I need help sometimes.
So the low down of this blog….
I got new skis.
I moved, but dont have a finished room yet. i sleep on the floor and live out of bins.
Apollo, my doggie, loves to run! Also, my down stairs neighbor contantly complaned we were loud… i would sneeze and in 5 mins she would be knocking at the door telling me I was having some crazy party or something. ARGE!!!!
