last hurrahs (for a while)

So I have taken my free time and weekends to spend my time doing the funnest things possible. So far I've got to P-town, Hampton Beach, Salisbury Beach, and I'm going to the Berkshires this weekend. I've ridden a donkey, won vampire teeth, climbed on machinery, and mooned a bunch of people.

I start grad school in two weeks. Life is good.

Aww Boston

Yesterday Jenzy and Joey went into Boston with me. We went to JP and picked up Jeff and gave him a ride to work. Then we walked around for a good 4 hours. I parked in charlestown and we walked all through the North End, had a nice lunch at Cafe Osteria and then got cannolis. From two different bakeries. Modern and Mikes. I got one from each but ended up eating only one and giving the other to my mum and sister. The day before was also a road trip. Jen, Joe, Wendy, and I drove up to Hampton Beach. We had a stroll on the beach, nice seafood lunch, and fun at the arcade. Wendy and I had a match of dance dance revolution which was weak. I had a gypsy fortune telling machine steal my dollar. Then I rode a donkey ride with a barrel of tequila on the back and some random drunk guy pretended to "smack my ass." It was hilarious. After NH Wendy and I went to Worcester to see Widow Sunday play in a battle of the bands at Tammany Hall. Then we went to Pepperoncini's to see Cuban Pete play in a cover band. He was dressed in tight pants and a Hawaian shirt and had his hair slicked back. He reminded me of Fat Mike ala Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. I had a super drunk guy dance with me. I tried to give him the twirl but he wouldn't. His friends and Beeps and Wendy were cracking up the whole time. It was a crazy but fun weekend.

mini miracles

Recently Jane lost her dog Indy. She's been having a really hard time since. She tried to help get out of her depression by running. Then she was having severe pain. After an MRI she was told no more running. She left a bulletin sounding so defeated. I remembered a time when I felt the same way and I was trying to reverse my feelings, focus on the positive and force myself to be happy. She had left me a nice encouraging comment which I in turn dug up and posted to her. She created a new bulletin saying how it was a miracle to have me and others in her life. Often times when I am feeling down I look at all the mini miracles I have in my own life. I have some truly awesome friends and one of the best families I could ever ask for. I have a great job where I can help others, I was accepted into grad school and my Dad is going to help me financially. I have two awesome cats and a cute home. I am truly blessed every day with all that God has give me. Thank you to all my own mini miracles in life.
