Ticky Tacky

Brian and I just got back from a wonderful weekend with friends in the city. I really do consider myself very lucky to still be so close to my friends from high school. Thuan, Rachel, Anna and I had a great time staying with Thuan in her summer apartment. Thaun was a great host and made us delicious food.

We were super tired after the weekend but, as Brian said, "It's a good kind of tired".

When we got home we both felt like this:


Now we have a four day work week and its time for a trip to Mich. I can't wait to see my family and Eric getting married :)

Watch or Warning?

We finally got around to making my birthday cake. My personal favorite, fun-fetti with chocolate frosting. I never used to be very fond of cake. Then I started working where they threw kids bday parites and learned to like it very much. The cake was delicious.

We just survived our first heat wave (90s for four days) in the apartment. It was so so so hot. And so so so humid. The dew point was reaching the 60s and 70s. I really don't like sweating very much, so I was kinda miserable.

to a happy song

So basically I really like Weezer. Next to the Beatles they are probably my favorite band. I was very excited that their new album came out on my birthday (totally a sign), and Brian was nice enough to present me with it. You can tell Rivers is much happier than he has been in years. I'm pretty sure this is because he got married to the Asian girl of his dreams. In his words "Goddamn you half-Japanese girls. Do it to me every time".

My birthday was super fun. Danielle and Annie came to dinner at Bombers with us. I got a delisious pitcher of margarita mostly to myself. After a stop at our place we headed to karaoke. We met up with Dan and Chris who both sang. Brian sang too, which is always a treat. Even I sang (doesn't happen often) with Danielle - Toxic by Britney Spears. I think Toxic rock.

They say it's your birthday

Today I turn 24, my favorite number. Hopefully it will be a good year.

Freihofer's Run for Women is a 5k that they hold in Albany every year. Lucky for us it loops past our apartment near the start and back for the finish. It was really cool watching all the females run.



What really suprised me was the age of all the girls running. There was a six-year old running! We saw so many little girls running alongside the older people. They had legs as big as my little wrist! And they were passing people, lots of people. A lot of the girls were among the front of the pack finishing. I was amazed. Brian decided that I will run it next year. I decided I would see about that. I could run by our place next year, see Brian and give him the finger while I pant down the hill. Could be fun.

And... I'm spent

So Brian and I finally signed up for the YMCA. We have been planning to join for months now. When you join the Y you can meet with a fitness instructor for free. This seemed like a good idea until he asked what I wanted to get out of working out.
"Um I just want to be in better shape..yeah."
I felt pretty awkward talking about fitness but the guy had really good advice and showed us the proper way to use everything and in what order we should go. Apparently strength training comes before cardio. I can honestly say I have never worked out so much in my life. When we do our strength training it takes a good hour and a half to get everything in. I've never stayed at the gym that long.

Last weekend I went to the Jersey Shore with Anna and Rachel and a bunch of Anna's friends for her birthday. I wasn't sure it would be my deal and it wasn't really. I liked the beach and hanging out but the giant packed club with super expensive drinks, not so much. Anna was hilarious though :)

My own birthday is coming up. I don't have much planned other than a giant birthday margarita at Bombers.

There is a dedication for the new dining hall at Fowler this weekend. I'm really looking forward to seeing camp again. It's too bad we really don't have time to volunteer for a whole week this summer. I know other summers will come, but I'm still sad not to spend more time there. Hopefully we can make a couple weekend visits. Rain is predicted for the dedication day. When I think back to weekends at camp it rained a lot.

No You're the Best

Holy crap look what I found

Who knew red nail polish was the devil?
