else I already had so it worked out great.

Gavin in his second costume...MX racer!!

Tomorrow is Gavin's 1st Birthday

So tomorrow is Gavin's 1st Birthday and I can not tell you enough how much I am proud of him. He has been here on this earth for one year now and he has learned SO much. I know most people are going to think I'm crazy for thinking this and say most babies do learn that in there first year. But to watch my nephew almost every day to grow, learn, play, and most of all laugh is just so amazing.

So I would like to wish Gavin Michael a HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND YOUR AUNT ELIZABETH LOVES YOU SO MUCH!!!!

P.S. Gavin....tomorrow will be your first party and we will rock out like a rock star :P

Finnally the weekend!!!

UGH I am soo tired I stayed out way to late last night. It first started off my calling my friend Nicki to ask him about something. Then it ended us going out on a date to a really nice place. He got all dressed up and I really didn't think he was going too. Last time I spoke to him I though he was joking but it was all dressed pants, nice shirt, and nice shoes. I was just wear a nice summer dress because it was still hot out. Plus the bill came out so much from all the drinks we were getting. I was planning on paying for me but he just took the bill and got it all. So after that we ended up going to a bar to meet up with some friends we haven't seen in a while. Also him paying for that too....I mean come on Nicki let me pay for something. Well my goal was to leave around 11 but we didn't leave until 12:30....all I have to say is UGH!!!!!!

Before all this happened I went out for a second job. Nothing to big. I looked into The GAP only because all of my nephew's clothes are from there. So I figure that would help out my sister. Also I looked into Bath & Body Works....I never shop there unless its for gifts. So I figure with that one I would never buy anything and waste more money :P So both stores just kind of talked to me and seemed really pleased. Also I think they are more pleased by the job I am working now so maybe that would help too. I will keep you all posted!!

Have a great weekend :)

CAT DIARY:
Day 983 of my captivity. My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I Are fed Hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I Nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The Only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an Attempt to Disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their Feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it Clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made Condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am. Bastards! There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was Placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my Confinement was due to the power of 'allergies.' I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage. Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my Tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs. I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and Snitches. The dog continues to receive special privileges. He is Regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He Is obviously retarded.

Quote of the Day you help you through life :)

"Here's the bottom line: We have only so much time here - let it be spent on doing things that make us like ourselves. Perhaps it's wearing clothes that flatter our figures, or just making an effort to speak nicely to the girl in the mirror. It's one thing to want to look good - heaven help you the day you leave the house wearing a belly chain - it's another to torment yourself for not looking like someone you're not. Have you considered how much easier life would be if we stopped comparing ourselves to runway waifs and Extremely Made-Over fem-bots? We must remind ourselves that advertisements are artificial constructions, not reality. In order to sell products, industries create images that appeal to us emotionally, that say, "Buy this bra and you'll look like Gisele!" We can choose to filter this stuff out and refuse to accept the message that the media is sending."

Just so sad....

One of my friends who I have known for about 10 years now, was in a very, very bad motorcycle accident. He has been in ICU. He was riding his brand new motorcycle on the highway with friends behind him following him. Well someone pulling a trailer cut him off and my friend got stuck in the wheel of the trailer and was dragged about 20 feet. They had to cut off his bottom part of his right leg off, he has problems with one of his hands that was trone up, and all over his body many cuts and sraces. This is not in full detail because just thinking about it makes me sick. Working for a insurance company and handling claims I can not tell you how many times I have see this happen. The worst part this time is I know the person who it happened to. The docs says hes going to make it and everything will be fine expect for the part he has to be in a wheel chair or has to get a fake leg and most of the time insurance will not cover for a fake leg. He has a long way a head of him.

Gavin's 1st Birthday Gift!!!!

Ok I have been looking hours on hours on the web to get for my nephew. At first I wanted to get him something that would last him until he's an adult like a necklace or something so he could remember his first birthday gift I ever gave him. Well it wasn't looking that way so I talked it over with my sister and ended up getting this. Its the Little Tikes Jump n' Bounce!!! Not too bad of a price the only thing that got me was the shipping from Ohio to New Jersey. But in the end the gift is really for me to see the smile on my nephew's face when he see's this/ plays in it :)

"The best gift ever in life is to see your nephew's face light up on his birthday" ~ a Jersey girl who loves her nephew :P

PLEASE HELP!!!!

So my little nephew is turning 1 on October 4th this year. I have been trying to think of something to get him. I have even looked at the Tiffany's web site all the way to a moon walk thing. I really don't want to get books, clothes, or anything boring like that. I mean its the little guys first birthday.....I'm his aunt/ god mother and would love to get him something he can have for ever! I am willing to spend about $200 or more if I found something GREAT. I have been trying to think of something for the past couple of months and nothing! I been on web sites/ stores and if I do find something its cheap not money wise but how its made. For the life of me I can't think of anything. My sister said to put money towards his college fund but that is what everyone else is doing that comes to the party! UGH I only have a month left.

Thanks

Adam the waiter from CF!!!

Last night I got together with a couple of people to eat some wings at the Palisades Mall. After eating and having some beer my friend Nick said one of his room mates works at Cheesecake Factory and we went there for some cheesecake and some fruity drinks to end the night off. Well the fruity drink I had was way to strong but I was still ok to drive. So we are talking to his room mate Jenn and she had told me she has been working there for about 5 years. So I asked her about Adam and what happened that night with my friends and the camera. Turns out she is really good friends with him....YES he did get the pics printed and he still has them. She said that he told her that we were the coolest people and he had so much fun with us that night. ALSO he did see me there Saturday night with my date. So I told her if they ever want to hang out to let me know because I live right around the corner!!!!

Just wanted to up date you guys on the waiter
Have a good day :)

Date Night

Last night I went on a date....this time it was with a really, really nice tall guy. I'm 5'5 so I like to try to look for really tall guys like this one...6 foot (and a football player for his college). But it did go well. Second date you may ask well I'm not sure if it would be soon because he has to go back to Harvard. But we were going to go to the beach today but we both did get up late and it didn't work out. So maybe this week we will try to get together.

So last night when we were out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, the waiter next to us looked like I knew him from some were. So the whole night I'm thinking were I knew him from...well out of the blue I got it!!!! Some of my best friends took me out to dinner there about 2 years ago and we had that waiter. I think his name was Adam not sure. It was one of my best girls night out...well I always have a great time with them. It was a funny night because I had a throw a way camera so all four of us were taking pics of us and the tables around us. At the end of the dinner we end of giving it to the waiter. Last night all I wanted to ask him what ever did he do with the camera? If he ever printed out the pics? I didn't ask because I was on a date and I figure it was rude to ask the waiter that then have to explain to my date that story.....I really don't think guys understand it was just for fun and it wasn't something like we were trying to get this number or something :P

But in the end it was a nice night

Just a Great Day!!!

So today is just another day but I just have been having a good day. Nothing out of normal at work I'm getting all my work done and seems to be no "mean" customers! Which also helps the day too. I even had a really nice lady say "please and thank you!" I always say that just to be nice but it was great to hear it from a customer! It really did help put a smile on my face.

Also like any other day my sister and I cracking jokes to one another! I work with my sister and she sits right behind me which I may add is the best! I couldn't ask for anything more. I really do love my sister and the time we spend together I really do take to heart (if you want to say it like that). I know I make it sound like she's dieing which she is not! But it really does mean a lot to me that I have a sister like her.

Well its Friday and about time for me to leave work. Have a great weekend!

Peace out girlscouts!!!!!

Gavin & his dad working on the car together...

Gavin's First Beach Day!!!

Gavin playing with his toys on the beach!!!
I love my nephew...the faces he comes up with is the best!!!

My brother-in-law Gregg with Gavin and my sister Allison....these guys are the best. Even Gregg is not my blood brother but I love him like my brother and we call each other brother and sister.
Gavin & I on the beach together getting ready to put our feet in the water :)
"Gregg turn around...Allison is taking a pic" yeah well he didn't and if you cut each of us out then it would have been a cute pic. Oh yeah I did that because my sister was trying to get bad pics of me but I am way to quick for her :P
Gavin & I at the end of the day....both of us took a nap on the ride home!!!!

Look at his little cute arm holding his head up lol

For me its the weekend!!!!

Ok so I am still at work, well should be on my way home already but didn't get to get everything done in time by 5pm. So it would be another late night for me. I'm just taking a little brake before I freak out so I thought I would type a little and think about having a day off tomorrow :)

I hope everyone has a great and safe weekend. I'm not sure if I will be here tomorrow but I will try and let you know about my day

UGH WORK!!!!

So today at work was the worst!!! For the past couple of months it has been really bad. My boss has been working us to the bone! It sucks because the customers take all there problems out on you screaming and cursing. Trust me they don't have the nicest things to say and I think truck drivers don't curse as much :P It was just one of thoes things I just can not wait until 5 pm and normally I'm not like that because I love my job but today all I have to say is....what the f@#k!!!

In the end all I'm thinking about is this Friday I have off and can not wait. I'm not going any were or doing much. During the day I would be sun bathing while reading some books. Then is weekend is my best friend's Birthday....so we will be going to Lucky Strikes for some bowling. Then on Saturday we are going to Hoboken. I can not wait because I haven't seen my friends from Hoboken in such a long time so it would be nice to catch up with them. Also my best friends haven't met my friends from Hoboken yet so it would be fun. Well I must be going....have lots to do before the night is over. Have a good night

New to this....

So this is going to be my first blog ever....and I mean ever. Most of my friends have one already and for a while now I have been thinking on starting one. Well today July 30, 2008 will be the day.
I'm not going to say much today only because I'm at work and don't have much time but I will be back. I just wanted to say a quick HELLO to everyone :) Have a great day
