What is Irish and stays out all night?







.........Patty O'furniture

So (e:libertad)'s mom was in town for the week and so I saw her a lot which was really nice because she lives in florida and so really i never see her. It was great getting to know her more though I fear I am too shy and then it is awkward when we sit around and I have nothing to say and so she prolly thinks I am boring. I hope not! I also really didn't drink even though everyone else always was having wine, 1 cuz I don't like wine and 2 we all know what happens whne I drink and I was trying to keep it classy. he already told her to google me which brings up some unofrtunate photos ....... anywho oh we did bond over celebrity gossip . She lives near Hulk Hogan , how cool is that? She says they are in the paper every day cuz they are crazy, which they are. She even bought me a celebrity mag which I am thoroughly enjoying! I hope she liked me, its hard cuz she already has so much history with (e:libertad) and his roomate and so sometimes I felt like I oculdn't offer up enough to compete and be fun and entertaining, I hope it went ok and she didn't go home and say" what has my son gotten himself into!"

Haha today I heard a quote by Queen Elizabeth of England (not like I heard her say it while we were having lunch but i heard it in I read it in the paper) that she loves the song Dancing Queen and always dances when she hears it because as she said and I have often said "I'm a queen and i love to dance"

Also this is my favorite weekend of the Buffalo summer as it is the Taste of Buffalo. I go every year with (e:maureen) and eat more food than anyone else and then I always go at least one other time with other people. I really have to save up for it cuz I love to try everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok not eveything but a lot of stuff. And my favoirtest thing ever they have again this year which is fried cheese stuffed black olives! THEY ARE SO GOOD and they don' tactually have them at the restaurnat that does them cuz I have called and asked they only have them a few times a year. I just love taste of buffalo and i know a lot of people ocmplain about how hot it is an drowded and expenseive but it seriously is what i live for all year. (e:maureen) flew in from Boston just for this basically!!! It is so good! The only tihng I don't like is that they really have too many chain restuarnats , I feel like it should be local restuarnats only!!!

So i just read Dr. Phil actually is not a doctor and does not have a liscense to practice psychology. THAT IS CRAZY!!!!!!!!! I hate him , what a whack job!

So me and (e:jill) decided to be summery and go to the beach today. Of course when we left it was completely cloudy and kinda chilly. We of course decided to stop at Tops for some snacks and magazines... 60 dollars,...4 magazines.....2 subs, 2 huge party bags of chiops, cookies, candy, pasta salad, drinks and other miscelaneous food items later we are off to the beach. Seriuosly it was a little redic how much food we bought but you never know how hungry you are gonna be and we are gluttons! WE forgot forks for the pasta salad though and luckily e"jill stole them from a gas station while we asked for directions.


Oh and by the way we had very loose directions to bennett beach which according to my gps didn't exist. WE got super lost sorta from the direction from yahoo and the erie count parks website and noone at th egas station we stopped at had ever heard of Bennett beach even though I'm pretty sure it is one of only a few beaches really in erie county and it was close to where we were asking poeple. Anywho after driving around for a while wihtout really feeling like we were getting anywhere we just used the GPS to go to the nearest beach to where we were at the moment. This beach had the beautiful sounding name of Buffao Municipal Bathing Center . Oh sounds so luscious and tropical. Anywho we follow the directions and lo and behold it takes us to Bennett beach...... what a crazy turn of events.

Anywho we get there eat mass quantities of food and read our magazines and are really rather chilly and just step into the water. We kinda fall asleep on the blankets and then wake up and go in the water and realize "HOLY CRAP I AM COMPLETELY SUNBURNED" This has happened to me once befroe and while I don't believe it is as bad as that time , it is pretty bad. We didn't even bring any sun tan lotion but it was cloudy so it shouldn't have mattered but I always forget that you can burn super extra in cloudy weather cuz you dno't realize. And booy did I?" Great I hope it is not too painful b/c last tmioe when me and (e:Maureen) got really burnt I was this close to killing myself cuz it was so painful!!

All in all bennet beach was prety nice. I had been there befroe with (e:pmt) and (e:chirs) , i am sure there are pictures in one of paul's old journals. I will post the pics I took today later. So even though I am burned i still love the beach and am glad it is summer!
