Making up for severe neglect

Ahh my poor neglected blog! In exchange for my neglect, I am posting this picture of an adorable puppy. You have to forgive me now for the puppy is just way too cute. Moving on, my New Year this far has been busy, crazy, and busy, and crazy. In a mere 11 days more has happened to me then I believe happens to most people throughout an entire year, haha. Once I was over the stomach bug things were well, but I decided that getting sick like that was the final straw and I quit my second job (which I blamed for getting me sick because it was an infestation of disease). I have to admit that I am looking forward to being able to concentrate more on school and my other job and not ave 50,000 things to worry about at once. 30,000 at once is slightly more manageable :). I guess it was a leap of faith...maybe risky due to the economy but we shall see. I know I'll be okay and I do need to find another temporary job to help bring in some extra moola, but I will be on the look out.

The second week of Jan my good friend and I took our road trip. Originally we were going to go north and possibly tubing but plans fell through so we went just a little bit south to my parents beach house (yes, my parents have a beach house which I guess qualifies me as a lucky brat). We had a great time and the highlight was the restaurant we went to on Wednesday night. This place is beyond PACKED in the summer, infact I dont go there because I have no desire to wait two hours to be seated for dinner, but we walked in and were the only people in the entire establishment. Out waiter was from Romania and was a really nice guy, so I invited him to sit with us and he wound up getting food and joing us. It's a unique experience to eat dinner with your waiter, hehe. I wanted him to teach us how to say insults in his native language but instead he taught us how to say "I Love You" in Romanian, Russian, and Turkish. It was really cool and lemme tell ya...I cant speak in those languages to save my life (but my friend and the waiter were amused at my lame attempts). In exchange, I taught him classy American slang such as "tipsy" and "badonkadonk"...he didnt know what that meant so I said "big ass!" and his face got bright red. I'm so classy. Another highlight of the evening was the Dirty Banana I had to drink...ahh man, if I wasn't driving I could have definitely gotten into trouble from their drinks. Dangerously good. Dirty Banana= Banana Liqueur, Crème de Café, & vanilla ice cream mix. .

After getting back to Bmore I went to Damons and pigged out. I love the baby back ribs there, so went with the intent of getting my usual 1/2 rack. Instead of getting my usual ealthy side I got the cheesy bacon fries. Once I got my plate I looked down and literally said "h0%* S#$%"...I've never ordered that many calories at once before. I ate it, then was stuffed until 2pm the next day. Seriously. Friday I was happily delighted to go to a diner I hadn't been to since probably high school, I always used to go to this diner growing up and always played the claw machine, so I played for nostalgic reasons and won a pink panther...the people who were walking out when it happened were like "omg, I didn't know you could win from one of those things!" I inspired people :), haha. I also got to go duckpin bowling this weekend which is also a blast and very nostalgic (I love taking people that have never been before). The Ravens game on Saturday was of course AMAZING and I can't wait for Sunday's game, ahhh. Wait a sec, I'm having a premonition...

Okay well tomorrow I'm going to goof off and then hopefully plan as I'm supposed to for work on Tues....I have a few events to plan and lets just say I waited until the last minute (as usual) to think about them. Good thing I work best under pressure. Tomorrow night regardless of the progress I will make time for my newest Reality Show obsession, The City.

That's all I can think of for now...I promise to improve on the frequency of my updates <3!
