memorial day!!!

Our Memorial Day was great! We went to the parade (where there were no marching bands due to the weather. THAT was a disappointment.) and saw many, many puppies dressed in their patriotic gear! There is very little that I love more than that. We then went home, had a big cookout, and drank poolside all the day long. I of course got burnt. BUT it was not nearly as bad as I had expected it to be so that was nice. I am however, covered in bug bites so that part sucks. But still, it was a great day so it was worth it.

saturday

Saturday night was the most ridiculous night I have had in the Great North. Red was here (YAY!!) and we were planning on meeting a few of my coworkers at this place called Teddy's. Now, not being from around here I had no idea that Teddy's should really be named "Place where old people go to escape their great grandchildren." That's how old these people were. The ones who were old enough to be my dad were waaay too young to be at this place. There were way too many sequins covering bra-less boobs for this age group. So Red and I left. And good thing we did because when we got to this other bar, we found one cute guy (and his cute but terribly obnoxious wingman) and left with some digits. Overall I'd say the night ended up in a much better place than where it started.

writingwriting

Y'all will be pleased to know that finally got a good start on my writing. I know you were all so worried about it so now you can rest your little heads. I've written three of the five pages that have been required of me by the end of this weekend. Who knew jonpaiz could be such a slave driver?

currently...

procrastinating starting my new writing project because I have no good ideas. 

please send help. 

i'm exhausted

I was just about to write about how tired I am, after waking up and 5:30 this morning to go babysit all day. BUT then my wonderful, amazing, and delightful sister decided to inform me of the present she got me today, which was a six pack of Mike's hard raspberry lemonade. So I'm just gonna write about how excited I am for this weekend instead. CANNOT WAIT for Red to come visit me tomorrow!!!! We're getting our drank and dance on. Super psyched. Then we plan on laying out by the pool sipping cocktails until she has to leave on monday. It's gonna be great.

grown up??

Maybe sooner than I thought!! I applied for my first ever credit card today! I find out within ten days if it's approved. Fingers crossed!!!

things got steamy

....in the steam room. After spin tonight I went into the steam room at my gym and let me tell you it was a strange experience. First of all, discovering this magical place has been the best thing to happen to me all week. "But Nicolette," you're all saying, "it's only Tuesday. You still have plenty of time to make this week turn into an outrageous suckfest!" And while you make a good point I will have to counteract your point by telling you to SUCK IT.
Seriously though, once I got over the complete (but now seemingly stupid) shock of a girl gettin' totes nekkid right in front of me, I was able to relax, shut my eyes, and feel my pores fly open to let the nasties out. It is most definitely becoming a staple in my routine.
