So Wilma decided to go easy on us, and we ended up with a most excellent vacation experience! We got down to Nassau on Saturday morning and were itching to get to our hotel... fearing that the bright sunshine and friendly blue skies were limited and the menacing storm clouds would soon roll in and unleash their fury on us...
But we were wrong. All day Saturday and Sunday we had fantastic weather... the water was calm and warm and the sun bestowed its strongest rays upon us. We each managed to walk away with a little sunburn too, which was all too welcomed!
The daunting music on the weather channel warning us of Wilma's approach kept us glued to the set... as we watched many towns in Southwestern Florida get ravaged...
luckily we didn't feel any direct effects but the whipping sand and howling winds were enough for us. It was a little harrowing, to say the least, but we made it home safely and soundly.
I was happy to come home, too... once I knew the vacation was over and we were departing for the airport, I got antsy because I couldn't wait to see Dave. I was proud of myself... I made it through the trip without missing him too terribly... although getting home to him was as good as anything!

You Have Got To Be Kidding Me...
Forecast for Nassau, Bahamas:
strong winds, thunderstorms, rain... Saturday Oct 22-Monday October 24. Of course. Its shaping up to be a nice week AFTER Tuesday, and of course, Mo and I fly out Tuesday at noon.
I cannot handle this again. I cannot fucking handle it.

Big and Orange
Happy Halloween! (almost)
Here are some really great snapshots from this previous weekend's endeavors. What a beautiful October Saturday we had for our outing!!! Pumpkin and apple picking... I felt like I was a little kid again!!! An awesome weekend, to say the least! And our carvings were pretty damned impressive, in my humble opinion...
guess which one was mine?!
Monica's Madness
My lovely wonderful midwestern pal Monica, a.k.a. Mo to most, or UNCLE Mo to a select few, has come up with some rather entertaining quotes, which I would now like to attempt to reproduce. I realize they will not be as funny typed out here as they were when she first said them, but it doesn't matter. It makes me laugh just to think about it. And the first one sums it up entirely.
"I wish I was Whitesnake."
Yes, that is, as in Whitesnake the 80s hair band. Mo wishes she was Whitesnake. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Here you go again, girlfriend.
Another winner:
"That's ok... I've decided I'm a passenger on the psycho bus headed to psycho town anyways, so your distraction is a good thing!"
WHAT?! Ass.
The same night that we determined Mo was "Uncle Mo" and I was "Aunt Fatty" we were discussing the events of my upcoming weekend. And I said I was going to Brownies 23 East. And Mo goes, "you're going to Brownies? Is that where the meeting is or something?" thinking that Brownies 23 East was a location of a girl scout troop. I thought Jami and Jay and I were going to die laughing.
Poor Uncle Mo and her dusty rose (NOT pink) hoodie.
12-4-05: "My ass hurts. But it's the cheek, not the hole." (she says this to me as I'm SHITCANNED drunk walking to a party after a Bon Jovi concert... I fell to the pavement laughing uncontrollably. And to this day, she pulls it out when she wants to get a giggle out of me!)
12-15-05: "hahah so I was holding my coup of soup and my phone started buzzing and it scared me so I jumped and launched soup everywhere... haha there's a noodle in my hair!"
sometime in March, 2006: (me speaking to her) "Mo, you are the mortar between my bricks!"
There have been many others. And I fully intend to edit this blog entry whenever I remember another funny line, or she comes up with a new one. All in all, this girl is hysterical and I love her dearly, especially when I get to correct her shitty spelling! <3 vag

Better luck next year...
The Yankees suck.
That's all I have to say about that.
The weekend celebrations were good... Jami got to spend consecutive nights with her consecutive boys... and the dollar store raid was a success. Especially the pink, yellow, and blue visors. How chic. (picture to come later)
I was really angry at Dave this weekend. I understand his situation COMPLETELY... moreso than he realizes, but he has made some really foolish decisions (ebay, football betting, etc...) and I'm not sure what it's going to take for him to really wake up and realize that money doesn't grow on trees. But I told him I'd stick by him regardless... only after making him feel awful by bursting into tears, saying, "I don't understand why every boyfriend I have is plagued with problems involving money..."
I don't think he'll do this again. I think he's learned his lesson... at least I hope. Unfortunately there is a goddamned gambling ring taking place at his apartment right now... which is one of the major reasons that he's been staying with me so much. And for that, I am proud of him.
I want sushi.

Red Sox 2, White Sox 4, top of the 6th
So it's a rainy Friday October afternoon at Market Point... and, lo and behold... I'm bored! Ha!
I got my iPod fixed finally. After those jackasses at Apple who REFUSED to help me because my AppleCare Extended Warranty had expired the DAY BEFORE I called them were able to do nothing, I did some investigative work and managed to solve the problem. I rule!
Looking forward to a good weekend- Jami's birthday (multiple celebrations) , a rainy day to catch up on the mundane tasks of apartment life, and then hopefully a clearing on Sunday for some fall soccer. It's not lookin good though... and go freakin' figure, we have 13 people confirmed... first game all season we'll have subs and it's supposed to be a wash (pun intended).
Oh well. Such is life.
T-Minus 15 days and counting to Paradise Island! WOOHOO!!!!!
