buddah baby

Hey Sassies
I wish I could post more often, but in between not having internet and working crazy hours, I don't seem to have much time for anything! I'm working at this really pretty restaurant called Buddahkan (www.buddahkannyc.com) and I superduper love it here. I want to have a ladies dinner when we're all back in NY *cough cough*

Not very much has been going on with me. I still have not visited a beach, so I'm sure you can imagine how terribly pasty I still am. I'm going to spend the next couple of weeks boyfriend shopping and praying for days off.

Ahh i have to get back to work.

Done.

My babies!

I am on Long Island, in Glen Cove, on Rose Avenue, on the second floor, in Ali's bed, in a yellow towel. It is 6:07 PM.  Wonderful!!

I miss my wife, glad you made it safe to the 'rado, wish I was there, wish I could give you huggies and kissies and drinks! Yeahhh I miss makin' them dranks. Listening to Girl Talk in Big Haus, listening to The Sounds in Big Haus, being able to do our makeup at the same time in Big Haus, the soda machines to buy Fanta to mix with vodka in Big Haus, sleeping on top of each other in Big Haus, on bunk beds, ordering rail road pizza in Big Haus, Ve-ing it (Terre). 

Okay BrittyPod that paragraph was for you and how much I miss you.

Onward.

I am so broke! But such a happy young thing. Ever since I've been unemployed I've spend countless days with the people I love, beached it, jetted off to Florida for a fun-filled 9 days with Miss Erica Turck, my family, and lots of beautiful, beautiful Cocoa Beach, and as much as I can- with Mister Boyfriend Man: Michael Dylan Ferrara himself. What a catch! I'm so happy.'

I got a job waiting tables at Alysse's place of work now, Ruby Foo's in Times Square and I start training Monday. Might not have rent money in time but I'll muddle my way through... always do, no worries!

I've also decided to go back to school in the fall, to Brooklyn College for a B.A. in Communications - Purchase was a wonderful, wonderful 2-year long party, but what a waste of academic time and MONEY SHIIIIIIIT. On the other hand, where the hell would I be if I wound up at Fredonia or Oneonta like the original plan? This blog wouldn't even exist OH MAN. I can't think about what life would be like without you PYTs. I love ya'll so much. Srsly. My life, you are.

I love you. Ali and I are preparing to get Daiquiris and then for a hopping after-wedding party at the Mansh.

KISSES. x000x0x0e9d9d9djfdjfkdafjdksal;fjsaldfjadls;fjasdf

beach bums

hey hey pretty ladies. i can't say that my life has been as interesting as Britt's has been, but its been pretty fun. Saturday was garage sale day in Sea Cliff so I dragged my friend Tiana out and we went to a few garage sales and got some nifty steals. I got some sweet new shirts and a bunch of art books for free. But since it was about 95 degrees outside we felt as though we should end our adventure pretty quickly by stopping at the local bar Partners for a breakfast beer. After our beers we parted ways and I went to Sea Cliff beach to meet up with the kiddies. I got there and ended up mighty pissed because the kid at the gate made me pay 20 bucks to get into the beach cause I'm not a resident of Sea Cliff. As soon as I paid I found Chris and he said he'd get that cash money back for me, so I was back to being in a happy mood. The afternoon then consisted of swimming and playing football on the beach.

Sunday morning I got up bright and early and me and Chris rode bikes to the beach with a cooler full of bud light. Lots of swimming and drinking/eating. It was a great day. However riding back to Chris' from the beach was terrible. 2 minutes into our uphill trek we stopped and took a beer break on some stairs. it was not a wise decision of me to wear a gray shirt that day. let just say there was a lot of visible wetness all over my shirt. I think that was like the most physical activity I have done since I left school, I was super exhausted after yesterday. ha.

Well the pass out princess in me is taking over. I will update more after work tomorrow. Day 3 of bartending at the marina!! hopefully i make lots of money so i can put it in a jar to save for denver tickets. 

Come visit!! And come play on the beach with me all dayyy! Miss and love you all. <3

adventureboots!

so handsome dan and i ventured into downtown denver today and, after taking a few wrong turns, finally found the famous larimer square.  

we had an amazing lunch here: www.osteriamarco.com.

although it was a little pricey, it was well worth it.  we had great food and great wine (and, with the high altitudes, acquired a great buzz fast).  no complaints.

after lunch, we browsed through a cute little furniture store.  unfortunately, i can't remember the name of it.  but trust me.  it was cute.  and cheap!  

then we browsed through my favourite boutique thus far:  www.crybabyranch.com.  

i want to work there.  even though they said they aren't currently hiring, i am still going to beef up my resume tomorrow and send it to the owner tomorrow for future reference.  although i REALLY would have loved to walk out with a pair of $1,000 custom cowgirl boots and a job, i settled for a five dollar wooden post card to send to my great grandma for her birthday.  

after unsuccessfully browsing target and pier one (ew, ew, and more ewwwwww) for our last bit of necessary bedroom furnishings, our day ended with a trip to the liquor store for some cheap wine and nice, quick conversation with the clerk.  everyone is so nice here!  

anyway, handsome dan is being a whiny bitch about me not helping pick a free movie.  so, i will end this post with a big smacker goodnight!  SMACKERRRRRRROOOOOOOO!

bunnies and sunshine.

good morning loves.  i am sitting in our beautiful new home with a cup of coffee, enjoying the sun that is streaming through the windows.  when i woke up this morning it was overcast.  i rushed to our bedroom window and could see rugged black mountains in the distance.  it didn't take long for the sky to change and now, looking through our sliding glass doors that lead to the patio, i can see perfect little houses stretching out into downtown denver, and denver stretching into the Rockies.  everything is clean and pristine white, blue and green.  

i can't believe we are finally here.  we arrived this morning, around two o'clock mountain time.  it was too dark to really see the beauty that surrounds us.  now that i can see all of it sprawled in front of me, it makes the hellacious drive out here so worth it.

we left bolivar on friday afternoon around one o'clock eastern time.  we drove until we reached a small town in western ohio, where we decided to grab a bite to eat at a cute little mexican restaurant called The Grasshopper.  before we could even start mowing down on our enchilada platter, the sky turned completely black.  as all of the light quickly faded from the sky, we were ushered into the basement of the restaurant.  it was then that we learned there was a tornado ripping through a nearby county.  everyone sipped on margaritas and landsharks as we waited for the storm to pass.  twenty minutes later we were allowed back upstairs.  when we got back to our table, the most brilliant sunset was melting over the barns and silos, turning from red to orange to gold to the most brilliant turquoise before disappearing into the unending plains.  we were mystified by how fast the storms could develop and the striking horizons they leave behind.  this would be a sight we'd become accustomed to on the long journey to colorado.

after all of the excitement at dinner, dan and i felt refreshed and planned on driving straight to colorado.  we'd drive fifteen hours, maybe stop at a rest area and catch two hours of light sleep, drive the last four hours and go into comas as soon as we got to the house.  i had a touch-and-go migraine since the border of pennsylvania and ohio, but i was trying to man up and go along with this plan to marathon it.  just as i was about to be completely okay with driving straight through (and slipping into an acetaminophen-induced slumber), dan startled me awake with a concerned "oh my god."  i sleepily asked him what he was oh my godding about.  he told me i was going to freak out.  he was right.  he was oh my godding because there was a spider in the car that quickly crawled into an undisclosed location.  you ladies can guess what happened next.  i freaked and made him pull over.  the interstate was teeming with bustling semis, but i didn't care.  i made it clear that we were not going to continue until that spider was found and flicked out of the car.  as i paced nervously behind the car massaging my throbbing temples, dan thoroughly investigated the front of the car with the halogen flashlight his parents got us.  finally, he batted at the PASSENGER SIDE DOOR and said we were clear.  it took him a minute of desperate convincing and swearing on my life to get me back into the car.  all of the nerves that the wild ohio sunset had calmed after the storm had returned and we decided to find a room for the night.  after twenty minutes of calling every super 8 and comfort inn listed in the GPS, we finally found a good rate and turned in for some meerkat manor and sleepy time.   

check out came too soon and the sun was already blazing high in the sky when we started back on our journey.  one minor detail i left out thus far:  dan's car does not have air conditioning.  as we continued on through indiana and into iowa, that midwestern heat got more and more cruel.  there was no escaping the sun or the smell of shit baking in the plains.  we got as far as council bluffs, iowa and decided to stop off at a Sonic and, if you guys have never had Sonic, trust me, you aren't missing anything.  i was in a foul, fiery mood and covered with heat rash and sweaty, coagulated sunscreen.  i couldn't stop dropping f-bombs and throwing my middle fingers around.  at this point, it felt like we would never get to colorado.  i thought we would dry up and die before we even reached nebraska.  fortunately, the BP by Sonic had jumbo jugs of water, pull n peel Twizzlers and a large variety of sudoku books and crossword puzzles.  that's all it took to improve my outlook on the situation.  soon we were in nebraska and, thanks to my fill-it-in entertainment, it flew by fast.  i had already completed nearly twenty puzzles when, again, the sky turned black.  a few seconds later we were deluged with rain and, a few seconds after that, unusually large hail.  all of these components together spell one thing:  tornado.  we closely followed military vehicles and semis hauling giant turbine blades to avoid hydroplaning.  some cars were taking cover beneath underpasses, and i started to get more and more nervous.  we anxiously eyed the horizons.  nebraska is completely flat, conducive to split-second twister formation, and the sky is endless.  to me, it felt like every cloud was about to touch down and start blasting through the fields.  luckily, the storm passed as fast as it formed, leaving brilliant rainbows in every direction.  again, the scariest sky morphed into breathtaking serenity.  i had the taste of newsprint in my mouth from holding my puzzle book to my face in fear for those fast minutes we were shrouded by clouds and hail, but the golden rainbow horizon completely refreshed me.  soon it was night, and not long after the stars came out we crossed the colorado border.

missing an elk by four feet and swerving for a lazy mass of tumbleweed were the last dramatic moments of the ride.  the rest was peaceful anticipation.  it was so dark that we could only see the road ahead of us, lights from far off towns and sporadic bolts of thick, yellow lightning that stretched from the clouds to the ground.  those quick strikes allowed me to see split seconds of the changing scenery.  what was once sprawling fields and farmlands had turned to rolling rocks and ridges.  my heart skipped a beat with every sneak peek.  

finally, the lights of denver washed over the car.  still, it was too dark to see those majestic mountains in the distance, but the sight was still alluring and comforting.  as the light spread farther over our surroundings, dan commented on how new everything was.  i took that statement in various contexts.  everything really is new here.  this developing city, snuggled in the then invisible Rockies, is fresh and clean, futuristic and comfortable.  the perfect place for a new beginning.  a handful of two dollar tolls later, we arrived at our house.  dad was anxiously awaiting our arrival and warmly welcomed us.  as soon as we stepped into the house, we slipped simultaneous sounds of awe.  the ceilings loom thirty feet above us, the windows frame downtown denver, the lights cast a clean sheen across the hardwood floors and the nook-and-cranny architecture fills the rooms with ambient echoes.  dad had music playing from his studio in the loft and it filled every corner of the house so perfectly.  great style, great acoustics, great view.  it is completely perfect in every way.  

we have an aerobed in a room upstairs that looks out into downtown denver and rugged mountains.  i caught a few hours of sleep, but i am way too excited to not be awake.  so, i have been sitting here in this sunny house, looking out at people biking, jogging and walking the path that winds through our neighborhood into the city, watching baby bunnies scamper across our patio.  we're doing good, ladies.  real good.  

i can't wait until you all come see it for yourselves.

loves and kisses from colorado.
