My name is spelled with an I not an NY

People have included my name on the Christmas cards, very cute and thoughtful, but they spell my name wrong. This would not happen probably if I actually go by my full name, but I don't really like my full name, It doesn't really go with my personality.


2010 is almost over and 2011 is days away, I'm excited to party it up on nye...

2010 has been a so/so year. I'm ready for a new year.

My sister got married and I was the intoxicated maid of honor

I graduated from college and am still jobless

Moved to Minnesota with boyfriend

Got rid of my shitty Buick and got an awesome Ford Escape


What I want in 2011-
A job
Boyfriend and I's own place
Minnesota friends

Boyfriend's parents are back from Ohio, it was nice playing house while they are gone and I really want our own place now.

I am very excited to drink and go out on new years eve. Last years new years eve was okay. Nothing special.


Then Saturday the Badgers play TCU and I'm so pumped to watch it and wear my new Rose Bowl sweatshirt.

goodbye gingerbread man

Christmas is over. Went to Wisconsin and back. It was alright, a little boring and someone being a little A to the T to the T to the E to the N to the TION whore..cough my sister cough cough... It was like dude I'm only here for two days and you're going to first of all not talk to me and second of all whenever i bring up something going on in my life, you have to stomp on it because your life is so much more better and important...example I have interview Tuesday..she is all like Oh i start my new sports reporting job whenever I want to...WTF

I am bitter and jealous, but I admit it.

So what did Santa bring me...some hoodies, lots of gift cards, and some movies.

Came back to Minnesota last night...boyfriend and I went to go find where my interview is...I dont even really know I feel about this job, it is a job and it is for a newspaper, but I dont know if it is something I want to be doing. I'm just going on the interview to make everyone else happy because my parents and bf's parents were so happy that i have interview. So I have to go to it. UGH

Then after we went to find it, we drank with his bestie. It was fun.

Laundry Day

Brett Farve played last night and once again got hurt, at least he gave it another go. Vikings got murdered by the Bears. We were a mess and really need to get some defense going next season.

I started watching the show Bridalplasty. It's bad, but I can't turn away. If you dont know what it is about theres like 10 brides who make a plastic surgery list and everytime they win a competition they get to do something off their list. The last girl gets the perfect wedding. Most of the girls on the show are skinny and pretty. Then there are bigger girls and an annoying one from the biggest loser who wants a tummy tuck (She thinks she can be the next Eva Longoria). Ridiculous. I would never get plastic surgery unless I was in a really bad accident or burned. I'd rather be chunky go into surgery to get rid of it.

Another show that I love to watch and is ridiculous. Jerseylicious. I love it. I was so mad this week though that Frankie didn't propose to Gigi again. He has been trying for the last weeks and shit has always happened. Well this time he wanted to do it, but she was all i been pressuring you to propose and I just think we both need to grow up. Frankie's face just dropped and he kept the ring in his pocket. Poor guy.

Tonight boyfriend and I are suppose to go Xmas shopping and then go to his cousins house because I'm suppose to dog/cat sit the next two days for them. Not really a big fan of cats. I think it is because my final year of college I lived with a girl with a cat and she didn't clean up after it. The cat was also super mean. All it did was hiss at people. So cat sitting should be an interesting experience.

Girls

Spent another weekend with boyfriend and his bestie. We got burgers and went gambling. Listen to them talk about car stuff and boobs. I really need to find friends that are girls, the only problem is I'm one of those girls that has a real hard time being friends with girls. I just get along with guys a whole lot easier. The reason why our fondness of Alcohol & Sports. Guys are simple. Girls are bitches and annoying.

Now that I am older, I finally have actual good guy friends that text me and want to be part of my life. These were guys who were friends with bf and have made me part of their lives. I love them all.

I remember when I use to have guy friends that only wanted to make out with me ( Like all my guy friends in college) , its good to actually have ones that want to hang out and talk sports. I guess that is part of growing up, you find people in your life that acutally want to be there.

That goes with the same for the girls. I realized who my true good friends are and then there some who have faded into the back ground.

XMAS IS IN 5 days and I GET TO GO HOME AND SEE SCHAMBOW, BROTHER, & SISSY!!

I'm so pumped. I need a break come Minnesota and get some good home cooking and home made candy. YUMMY

oh little eduardo

So i went to boyfriend's mom's school that she teaches at and helped her for the day. I found my future child, seriously if boyfriend and I ever reproduce I want him to look exactly like this little hispanic/white kid named Shaney, so cute. The poor boy was crying and I was like whats wrong? He was like my cat died this morning, my heart just dropped. So cute.
Then there was this cool little black boy named DJ and i was like my names DJ too so we were like buds.
And then there is little eduardo. He tried so hard and other kids were mean to them and i wanted to punch them.
Also there was kid named Alex who was wearing a halloween shirt today...wtf He was a little shit

Somethin...somethin

Went to go see the screening of The Fighter last night....sooooooo good...Mark Wahlburg soooooooo hot. My God, he has the like the most perfect back ever. I was like boyfriend you need to learn to box so your bod can be that freakin amazing :)

Four years ago today, I lost a very important man in my life, my grandpa. He had like thirty something grand kids and I felt like I was his favorite. I'd go to their house and there he'd be trying to put a puzzle together and I go help him. When we talked like I didn't try to suck up to him like the rest of my cousins. Who were all like come watch me sing or play my instrument. Look at all my achievements. He knew all I cared about in life was boys and having fun. He got it. We'd shoot the shit and talk. We argue about sports and other dumb stuff. The last conversation I remember having with him was at Thanksgiving and he was like don't settle for one boy, you need to play the field. He was this grumpy retired farmer and I loved him so much.

Tomorrow I'm suppose to go help boyfriend's mom at the school she teaches cause it's their christmas party. I dont know if she wants me around children. I'm such a sarcastic person and these are like 3rd graders. I remember 3rd grade. I was a little shit that got in trouble all the time and I went to Catholic school. So we will see.

Poor Favre

I feel sooooooooooooooo much better today. Went out last night to watch the Vikings game.

Brett Favre didn't start....his consecutive starts streak ends at 297 :( I was pretty bummed, but the guy's hand was purple so I think that as a very good excuse to not play. I felt so bad for him though cause he stood on the sidelines and had to watch the back up qbs not get the offense under control....it was brutal.

That was my sports talk for the day....oh wait no...i totally hate the new big ten logo...ugly and names for each division....so not feeling the Leaders and Legends....very not Big Ten...Big Ten is tough and badass...we dont lead...we own teams.

So that was my final sports thought for the day...

So I use to be really good friends with this one girl, I'll call her Photo Girl, anyways we became friends in like 6th grade band, both played clarinets. Then in high school we were really good friends freshman year and sophomore year..then junior year she went out with an ex of mine, which was ok i guess cause I dated him when I was like 14 so whatever, so they date for a while. College comes along and she leaves her nice college to be with him, but they end up breaking up anyways. So he then ends up going to school where I was, so she comes up to visit me...who does she end up spending the night with him.....thats not even where our friendship went to hell...

So then i transfer to her school..we hang out when shes not working or hanging out with her pothead/video game playing bf* ......then junior year i start dating boyfriend...we go to Wal-Mart where she works and shes texting me the whole time like when did you start hanging out with him...im like we been dating for two weeks and shes all like he use to cheat on his ex gf all the time (his ex used to work at wal-mart) ..and i was like Oh..like somebody hit me with car...so I'm all quiet and stuff and he's like whats wrong..i show him the text and he gets upset like i never cheated on her, she was fucking crazy and always thought when I wanted to hang out with my friends I was cheating...then his old roommate and bestfriend were like he never cheated on her and that his ex was freakin nuts..I'm like how can he cheat on me when he is with me every freakin night whoreface..so anyways that friend barely talks to me anymore and tells my friends from h.s. that my bf is a cheater so the only ones that really know my bf and hang out with us..talk to me anymore..it is fuckin bullshit..I hate it...like her boyfriend just sits in front of the tv playin games and smokes pot...i never stopped being her friend cause of that...

Weekend in the Blizzard

So here I sit Monday morning, home alone and feeling like death.... Boyfriend's dad is on business trip til Friday so I got the place all to myself during the daytime all week...it's good to have some alone time....but my stomach feels so bad today, I wish boyfriend was here.

I didn't sleep at all last night. My stomach starting hurting, I just laid in bed thinking. Which I really hate because you think of all the this bad shit that could happen. I would so much rather pass out and have ridiculous dreams.

So there I sat thinking about how I have a parking ticket due this week and I'm one of these people who pays stuff on time or constantly worries about it in my back of mind if I dont.

Anyways um what happened Saturday Night and Yesterday....Well we got 15 inches of snow so bf's all like let's go out which I was fine with cause I was quite rather getting tired of watching Hallmark Christmas movies with his mom. So we drive around town and nobody is open of course this is freakin Minnesota and they dont really promote drinkin during blizzards...So we go to Buffalo Wild Wings, which is jammed packed cause it's fight night. We ended up at a bar that is attached to a hotel and watched Wild game. Then we went home drank some more and went off to bed.
I then proceeded to have a very weird dream...the guy that plays Stiffler on American Pie was in it....I don't know, but lately I'm having dreams with not very popular celeb males in it...like last week the one dude who is in Taylor Swift's Tear Drops on Guitar video and One Tree Hill was in it...wtf...I need to stop drinking
Sunday- Very uneventful cold day. Watched the Packers lose to the Lions. It was beautiful and Aaron Rogers got hurt.

Vikings play in Detroit because the snow broke the Metrodrome-Insane
Will Brett Favre start? I think so

Hopefully I'll be healthy enough to go out to tonight and see the game...god I hope I'm not preggers

Blizzard

Stuck at home......its snowin like a mofo....bored out of my mind.

Last night hung out with boyfriend and his bestie. I really need to find girls to hang out with cause I dont think my liver will make it to 2011. I drank a little too much, normally when I go out with them, I get tipsy, but I'm good. Last night we got home and I had to use the walls to walk, oops. It didn't help that we started drinking at like 6.

I feel pretty good today considering my condition last night. The only time snow storms are fun are when your A) young and supporting 20 layers of clothing including bright pink snow pants and B) When you are in college and you have a wonderful excuse to do nothing, but drink.

So I'm just going to sit here and watch cheesy hallmark christmas movies

My morning adventure

So boyfriend wanted me to meet him for lunch at his workplace....this required for me to go driving on the freeway by myself....

So i go to leave his parents driveway which is up on a freakin hill and surrounded by snow piles...i of course backed up into the snow piles like fifty kabillion times cuz i really suck at backing out of places....i just suck at driving in general...

I made it to the freeway which is freakin super scarey for me and drove like 60 which people prolly didnt like( I grew up in a town that didn't even have traffic lights)! I was a little intimidated, but i made it! I was so proud of myself! Now i can drive to like three different cities now...yay me!

Came home and boyfriend's dad was apparently watching me try to back out of the driveway and was like i see you had some trouble...maybe if your driveway was straight...

Last night we went to our usually Thursday night Ladies drink free at the bar night.....it was good...but alot of nasty people go there too and i feel like out of place cause I sit there in my hooded sweatshirt and they got their hoochie clothes on. Its freakin winter in Minnesota...why the hell would you wear hooker boots walkin on ice and a skirt...you are gonna freeze and not get laid...

I have a goal to corrupt my little cousin who is a freshman in college....I just want her to have the fun I did in college, but then again she is smarter and has a good head on her shoulder. She actually didn't have to start her college career at a junior college. ( Not bashing junior colleges, it was probably thee best two years of my life.)

I had soooo much fun in college. So much fun. Junior College I really didn't care about my school work, I partied alot and came away with a Associates degree and amazing life long friends. Someday I will go into details of college stories :)

BRRRR its cold

So yesterday I watched a press conference of Brett Farve talking about his shoulder injury from the bills game. How he is all like I want help the team win, but If im not going to be useful then I'm not gonna play. He will play, he is Brett Farve. I mean seriously the guy needs only three more games to have 300 consecutive starts... that is pretty badass no matter what anybody says...people can call him a drama queen and a perve...that is who he is off the field...I'm not saying he's perfect, but I'm also not hatin on him for not retiring...He knows the game...the game is his life, and i think alot of people are pissed cuz he left the packers ( i hate the packers so I dont care) Then was like wait a minute I wanna play, I can still play....I love football...that's what it's really about is him not being able let go of football, and as long as he can whip the ball down the field super hard and perfect, I'm all for him...

My bestie went on a date for the first time in like 2 years and I'm so happy for her. I always feel bad cuz I have a boyfriend and I just want her to find a guy and have a taylor swift love story. Her last bf was a cheesy fool! I'm sad she is in wisco and I cant hang out with her everyweekend like we use to and go to the bars and be silly :(

I really need to get some friends up here!

Oh my story thingy is going splendid !

Oh wednesdays

So i started writing a story..no title yet and no real hard core plot going yet, but I'm working on it.

Taylor Swift songs inspired me...lol

What else is going on today, not a whole lot.

Last night went to the local high school basketball game here. It was a whole lot different then the ones at my old high school. The star player is a freshman who played varsity as an 8th grader. That don't happen in small town wisco schools. The freshman was amazing. He was like smaller than 6 feet tall and dunked it. His passing skills were crazy good. I love watching high school sports and seeing talent grow.

17 days til Christmas and I go home and see the family :)

X-mas is in 18 days

Christmas is in less than three weeks...I have absolutely no clue what I'm going to get the boyfriend for Xmas. I could do the typical vikings, twins, or Ohio State clothing. I don't want to get him any car stuff until he gets a new car and i really cant make taylor swift appear out of thin air...hmmm


My brother is pretty easy to shop for he likes food and taylor swift..lol
Mom candles, cooking stuff, and snowmen...no rocket science there
My dad is all hunting and tools so that is simple.
Sister and new brother-in-law they might be a little difficult

If there is anybody else in this world who is more complicated to shop for, it'd be me. I hate when my parents or grandmas are like what do you want for Christmas....its like ummm...i dont know. I really dont know. I mean it was so much easier when I was like five and was like I want the Beauty and the Beast movie, Baywatch Barbie, a Barbie House, Barbie's camper and blah blah. Being an adult sucks at Christmas, I usually get stuff like towels and kitchen appliances, but we dont have our own place yet so it just sits there and is unused.

If anybody has any neat christmas ideas for the boyfriend, let me know :)

And so it begins

I decided to start the whole blog thing again, i miss writing.
This is like the first time in years I'm not covering high school basketball games. You go from going to like three games a week to just sitting there no notebook, no stats needed. I want to start going to the bball games up here.

I officially am living in Minnesota, which has been scary and exciting. Scary as in I have no friends and dont know where I'm going and there are no cows anywhere. Exciting as in more things to do, more places to go. Being near the Minnesota twins and starting a life with my boyfriend :)

I just need a job, until then I'll just write for myself and whoever else wants to read.
