My birthday was awesome. Actually I spent my birthday (Friday) fervently packing to move on Saturday. Always me to leave it all until the last minute.
So here are all of my thank-you’s to everyone who made this weekend possible. I’d like to thank Jaime, Avi, my mom, dad and brother for helping me move. That alone was an awesome birthday present.
On Saturday evening we went to Church Brew Works for drinks and food and good times. I split the southwestern pizza with Bryan and it was so hot that my throat, mouth and lips were on fire ….. but mmm it sure complemented the beer I drank! I’d like to thank Jaime, Avi, Bryan, Vanessa, Courtney, Jess, and Alex for paying for my dinner and drinks for my birthday. I had a great time!
I also got other presents for my birthday. All of them were really nice. I received a card, a garden tomato, Tommy Girl Perfume, and an air-conditioner from my parents. My mom also gave me a vase that I absolutely love. Every time I am at my parent’s house I sort of drool over it so my mom finally gave it to me!!!! I mean it isn’t even worth much, I’m sure. My mom picked it up at a yard-sale for $1 but I just think it is so pretty. Thank You!
Bryan gave me two cards, another Gettysburg t-shirt and a pretty watch. I still think my favorite part of the gift is the kitty card … every time I look at it, it makes me smile. Thank You 🙂
I got a card, $$ and a coffee maker from my grandma, a card from Vanessa, and a card from my aunt. Oh and a card and a pretty plate from my boss. Thanks!
I don’t think I forgot anyone but if I did I apologize.
On Sunday, I went to the Pirates game with Bryan. This time we had box-seats and it was really cool. Free food and beer in an air-conditioned room and awesome seats that were sheltered from the crazy storm that delayed the game for about two-hours. We chose not to stay for the rest of the game after waiting over an hour for the game to start again. We sat by these two young guys who got completely wasted. The one guy was saying such stupid things and slurring his speech really bad. At one point they asked us if we wanted to play a drinking game. I was just sitting there praying that one of them wouldn’t pass out or puke near me. After a while, I leaned over to Bryan and asked him if we were losers for not drinking the free beer in the room. I did have one Miller Lite, but I wasn’t really in the drinking mood at all. If I drink in the middle of the day, all I want to do is go home and sleep. I think he agreed that we are probably losers, but isn’t it good to know that you can have a great time without alcohol … even when it is free? Now only if I could pass up free food … then maybe I’d be able to fit back into my size sevens …. . I had a hot-dog, salad, a cookie, a roast-beef crescent roll sandwich, a bag of potato-chips, and some veggies and dip. And I had a lot of fun, Thank You 🙂 Anyways, here’s some pictures of our view of the crazy-ass storm that came through Pittsburgh during the game yesterday:
The tarp that the field was covered with during the storm.
You can barely see the outlines of the buildings in downtown Pittsburgh!
So it is another beginning of another week, blah. I feel like my weekend lasted two-minutes, which usually is the case anyways, but now I’m just tired. Jaime’s dad bought her a brand-new washer and dryer so that is so awesome. I was kind of sad that the washing machine broke like the day I moved in because I was so happy to finally have a place to do my laundry. I have never had an apartment with a washer or dryer, EVER. I’ve lived in places with common laundry rooms, but the last three places I’ve lived have required me to go to the Laundromat. And they suck although they are quick and I can wash and dry four loads at once. But then again the only reason I need to wash four loads at once is because I seriously go to the Laundromat once a month because it is such a huge inconvenience. So yeah …. I’m happy.
I shall be spending the remainder of the evening, and the remainder of my evenings after work for probably the next year trying to get my things organized. And just for fun, here’s a few pictures of my other roommate, Boo. She has decided that my pillow and bed are her new favorite places to hang out and shed her fur. I really need to make sure that finding my cat-lint brush is a priority tonight ….. I don’t even know which box to begin looking in though.
I think that is all.
