So for the second year in a row I've participated in a secret santa extravaganza and both times I gave a gift and didn't get anything in return. Next year I am boycotting all secret santa type programs. Am I the only one this happens to?

Other than my bitterness over secret santas my life is pretty boring. My apartment is actually clean, which is always a sure sign that I have entirely too much time on my hands.

Maybe when I regain my motivation I'll post pictures of my recent adventures in Buffalo and NYC. But don't hold your breath.

This was on the front page of nyt.com

It scared me. This is what they will look like when they finally decide to take revenge and kill Paul Matt and Terry in their sleep.

Because like Jack black in School of Rock I'm all about sticking it to the man:

Check out emusic.com when you get the chance! Sign up for the 14-day trial period, download 25 songs, then cancel! How do they make money?!?!?!

-Note I stole this idea from a co-worker with whom I used to make out. It's not my original find.

Ok so five minutes ago I was on the phone with my friend. I was telling her about how my mom is coming here for my birthday, my 30th birthday. Then she was asking what we were going to do blah blah. So I was like "well i was going to try to get a room in the city, but they are all $700 plus right now, so we'll do it up jersey style". then we continued to blab and blab. I hang up and one of my co-workers walks over and said she couldn't help over hearing my conversation and wanted to know if I want a room in the city. She said she has more points than she can ever use. I was like "uh, sure?" She then promptly gets on the phone, books me a room at the W Union Square and upgrades me to the mac daddy room. What?!? Seriously that is super nice.

Lately good karma has been flowing non stop towards me. On Thanksgiving day (after being dumped) I dropped a $20 on my way to the store. Once I got to the check outline I realized I didn't have it. Ran out of the store and FOUND IT on the street.

I dropped a $5 on the PATH- someone picked it up and handed it to me.

I dropped my key card for work, someone picked it up and handed it to me.

Maybe 30 is going to be the best year yet!

So on thanksgiving i was "dumped" by the midwestern boy via voicemail. and by boy i mean he was 35 and does his business via voicemail. for about 30 minutes i wanted to cry, then i realized my ego was more bruised than my feelings. thank goodness thanksgiving rocked the house, soon i forgot all about stupid boys who are lame.

below is a pictorial journey of my day:


Aww Sisters

Aww Emily and Eamon
