when is enough enough

so my question for today is. when do you just say enough is enough?
we all have enough one our plates; we have kids, families, jobs, lives, so when do you say okay this has gone on long enough & being the "adult" or "being the bigger person" is just enough. i mean, yes, if you "be the bigger person" they say you win because you were strong enough to be better than others. but with having a life, commitments, responsibilities adding up when is it like okay you need to grow up as well & do your half. i would love to be able to go into detail about this topic but of course the whole allowing people into your life & putting it all out there sometimes isn't the best idea. anyone can come onto any website at any time & read this & figure out what you're talking about & in the end it isn't worth it. but when is it? when is it the time for the bigger person to just be like "listen, i don't mind continuing as is but i need a little help from the other end" that is my question. i don't mind playing housewife, mom, babysitter, laundry lady, working mom, housekeeper, peacemaker, party planner, the one who worries about what will happen if we do this, i sometimes enjoy most of these things but when is it my turn to be like "fcuk it, i'm taking the day off from it all" i need a vacation; mentally, physically & emotionally. but that is off in the far distance for me at this time too much going on, coming up. birthdays, parties, holidays, just began working again, things need to get done. but that day will come & those at the other end of my little fit i can promise will not be happy campers. and of course i don't want to come across the rude, mean b!tch that i know i do sometimes but a girls gotta express herself and after holding things in for so long it probably will not be a nice little sit down conversation. oh well.

(just to clarify, i am extremely happy with where my life is. i love my family, friends, working but there are certain aspects or people that just make things a little more difficult. if some people would just lend a helping hand or keep their crappy, debbie-downer mouths shut that would be just as helpful) happy hump day fellow bloggers.

our walk.

Hello fellow bloggers. Again, I am slacking with blogging. Shame on me. But in my defense I have a six month old (yay*) & a five year old running around here, well Olivia Rose* is just causing a ruckus no walking yet. But she is rolling over, waving, yelling up a storm, and enjoying lots of fruits & vegies. Oh and seriously teething!
But the point of my blog today is remind everyone of our walk we are doing. NSTAR'S WALK FOR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL BOSTON, it is on June 13th here in Boston and we will walk 7 miles in efforts to raise money for the Children's Hospital here in Boston. And if you are a follower of mine you know last year with Olivia's birth we had an unexpected stay at Children's and they saved our little girl. So we walk now for my niece Hanah Rose* and our beautiful lil angel, Olivia Rose* (who got her middle name from her cousin who unfortunately couldn't be saved) BUT! Our lil lady was saved, nurtured by these amazing staff members & they also took amazing care of us as young, (I was) first time mom, and petrified parents.
So back to the walk, I just want to send it out there see if anyone bites. I am going to post the website for our team "OLIVIA'S BISCUITS" and any donation, if you can give, would be amazing or if you want information to join the walk if you're close enough to do so. Also, Children's Hospital of Boston just added a new website this morning called "WHY WALK?" which I found to be pretty awesome & wanted to share with everyone else, I know there are a lot of parents out there that would appreciate & enjoy it. And that is all for today, I promise I will start blogging more. Olivia is getting on a sleep schedule & I can do it late at night & I will. But here are those websites.

happy tuesday everyone. it's going to be 90 & sunny here in Boston & I am off to enjoy it.

lazy sunday.

so. today is now sunday, been about a week since i last blogged. not much going, well that's completely untrue lots going on here. baby keeps you very busy! olivia did spend the night at her nana & papas on friday so myself & my beloved* for the first time in months had a date night. it was fabulous to get out; have a little bit to eat, glass of wine, go to the movies but coming home to no peanut was seriously weird. there was silence all night; no crying, whining, diapers to change, bottles to make weird as heck! but of course i woke right up & ran to my mothers to get her back LoL missed her to death & she was gone for less than 24 hours i am in serious trouble later in the month when she spends almost two days with her nana & papa. what am i going to do with myself? LoL thank goodness i will be taking my beloved* on a weekend getaway for his 28th beeday. he is getting old! LoL he'll deny it completely, but it is a fact we are definitely getting old. he now has two kids, about to be 28 years old, living on his own for years, been married, had "life lessons" LoL he is far more wise beyond his years LoL me. i am turning 25 this year. woah! 25 years old, a little peanutilicious here, staying up all night but instead of dancing & drinking the nights away it's to change diapers, rock her & feed her. who would have ever thought? definitely not me or anyone around me, they all thought i was set in my ways living life in the fast lane. hhhm. things definitely changed.

but i guess that's it for now, again just the new-mommy norm going on here. thought i'd just take a peek as to what was going on here in the blogging world & leave a little something from myself.

ciao fellow bloggers* here's in hopes of a little warm up so we can get out of the house.

who knew.

today we have our weekly checkup. so i am sitting here awaiting the clock to hit the hour we need to leave the house & head on out, for some reason i want to bring all of our belongings with us LoL idk why but you never know. but i am dying of anticipation of olivia rose*s arrival. at the beginning of the pregnancy i was terrified; of it all, the epidural, the pain to the actual labor, being someone's mother! just the entire concept of it all, i wasn't very sure on whether or not i wanted it all. but here we are! and i am so excited. i am excited to finally have this buddha belly over-with LoL, meet our lil miss olivia rose*, move on from just the boring routine of where we were, and to honestly start a family with my beloved*. i wasn't sure i wanted it but seeing him with his mini me, snugglebutt i am always just put back a little & just stunned at how amazingly patience he is. how much a phenomenal man he is as well, couldn't have had this "accident" happen with anyone better or at the fact that he wants me back as much as i do. =) gasp. i am getting all emotional.

but enough of that mushy stuff, we are off to check on our little girls progress hopefully we have made a good amount & are moving onto the next step. until next one fellow bloggers. happy thursday!

countdown begins.

so today will mark the 9th month of my pregnancy & also begins the count down begins until Olivia Rose*s arrival, 30 days and counting. i am officially out of work beginning today due to a number of circumstances. people keep telling me that the last 4 weeks are the longest (feeling) and now that i am out of work, oh man! i am already crazii anxious for her arrival & now that my daily hussle&bussle is at a stand still what am i to do? well today we had snugglebutt so i brought him to school & actually gotta get my butt moving to go pick him up & will be hanging with the fellas all day. i am at a point in the pregnancy where things are just uncomfortable. sitting, standing, walking (sometimes) things are getting tight on us LoL. but our lil lady will be here soon & we can not wait for her arrival.

that would be it for today, expect more posts coming in the near future, again my normal hussle&bussle being demolished i will have more time on my hands to "relax" and "hang out" as my beloved* calls it. so expect more blogs about nothingness & question/answer. happy monday fellow bloggers*

happy october blogging world.
i have yet to say that and it's now the 15th day of the month, shame on me. but in my defense i am pregnant, working full time, cleaning up a move & preparing a room for my lil lady. things have been hectic non the less. our shower was amazing! we had over 100 people there, way more gifts people who couldn't make it sent gifts with others that did make it & we have texts, emails & calls of attempts to set up meetings to receive more gifts! this lil lady is not only 1. spoiled already but 2. has everything off of her registry which is fabulous for me & my beloved* for we don't need to purchase anything (well for now; diapers, wipes, etc will need to be bought quiet often) but we feel so blessed & amazed at the fact at the number of people who came, sent things or have just supported us! thank you*

the snazzy new place is just that, new & snazzy. LoL we have about 3 boxes total! left to unpack which i feel is an amazing accomplishment seeing as how we are both working 40+ hours, i'm pregnant, we try & socialize when we can & have snugglebutt usually on the weekends. so our time to unpack, organize or even just sit & relax together has been seriously limited. LoL it's not fun now but once i am off of work & our lil lady is here things will be fabulous regardless of what this place looks like. our lil lady's room is 99.9% ready to go & i have to pack my "overnight bag" so things are looking just perfect.

snugglebutt is doing great! his grampi was sick for a bit but he is doing much better & that makes him much happier. he is back in school & loving it, he's in the "big kids class" the afternoon session of pre-k & loves it. he comes over with stories upon stories of his & his friend tylers' adventures, LoL some of them are really entertaining. his story telling skills are really advancing, which could be a bad thing in disguise. LoL but we have just a lil over 2 weeks until halloween which snugglebutt loves, stems from the love his mother carries for the holiday. and she is marrying her fiance on that date so snugglebutt has a very big halloween this year which he is very excited for. he will spend the early portion of the day with them, watching his mom & his jeff (which he adores) get married then he'll come hang with us & go trick or treating. he seemed a lil bummed with me when i didn't dress as humpty dumpty for his halloween beeday party so i am feeling like i should make it up to him then. and then halloween passes & we rest & wait, olivia rose* should be here by the 16th of november they say but we'll see.

hopefully the work load will be done soon, it is too much for me lately. being under staffed, over worked & pregnant is really starting to get to me so it should be over soon & then i can relax watch olivia do her bogeying & wait for her arrival. until next time fellow bloggers enjoy this crisp cold weather here in the boston area. somehow we managed to go from spring to a wet-cold summer, to a week of fall & then finally bam! winter's here. fabulous! welcome to new england right. night*

we finally agreed on something.

i am always apologizing for being so distant with you blog-world, yet here i am again doing it sorry! being pregnant, working 40 hours, managing a social life, sleeping/relaxing, looking for a bigger place and beginning he 'nesting' process is time-consuming. LoL so some things have to slack and this is one of them. but! update time. last week we had a peanut appointment beginning the logging of the belly measurements, we're at 21 inches so far (this is length-wise) so far everything has been text-book fabulous with peanut & myself* we have another ultrasound at the end of the moment, 3-d pictures this time! and blood-work/checkup at the beginning of next month. her movements have been more frequent lately too! she doesn't really have a pattern per-say  but it's usually certain times of day or after a heavy meal & it is so much fun! i believe she is starting to get stronger so other people will be able to feel her on the outside of my belly soon. yay* so exciting

my beloveds* hand injury is slowly coming along. he also had an appointment this week & saw another specialist, took some x-rays & got another note to prolong his return to work. i personally love it, not because he is home more (altho i do) but because this injury was huge, it was on his dominant hand & his three most used fingers this needs to be 100% before he returns & with his hesitation/nervousness to go back to his daily work activities, that only makes me more nervous as well. so another two weeks he is off, he is  going insane but will be worth it in the long run & i also am off starting saturday for a mini-5 day vacation! so we will begin our registration process (yes that has yet to being), continue our look into bigger places, hit the library, take aidan* to either an outdoor or indoor fun activity (depending on the weather, they say ran is coming again!) hitting up some fun activities for ourselves & family visits. woah! this is why i am exhausted & slacking with the blogging, i get time off/to myself and i over-book myself with other activities. OH! and the annual McG clan kenny chesney/lobsterfest (we've now merged it to one) is coming up soon too! love both events last year & super excited about the double-event this year! 

also. i am being thrown back to the girl who was questioning "friends" and people from a few months ago. events that have been taking place in the past week(s) have been really eerking me & my mind. i completely understand people change, life changes, things just change but why is it that because change happens some of us need to change negatively/ugly with it? being pregnant is one of the two happiest times in a persons' life yet even in this happy, weird, difficult, stressful, exciting time some people who surround us need to be negative, ugly, spiteful, & just down right rude. why? i'm sorry things changed! i'm sorry things didn't go the way you hoped they would! but i am not sorry for where i am, who i am/with & where life has brought me to be & is taking me. we all have events that happen that don't go the way we wanted them to, some of us it happens more than others but does that really mean you need to go out of your way to be rude or ignorant? really. especially towards someone you once be-friended or considered family. blah! 

things have been all over the place lately. being as emotional as i am lately; usually very mellow for the record (words from my beloved*) people, events, comments are really getting to me. and after tomorrow there will be a lot more events to blog about, so i should be back in just a few days. ah. summer has finally arrived & just in time for my mini-vacation. yay me* 

also! we finally have agreed on something, our theme! precious moments natures babies, i personally see it as disney babies to disney. i absolutely love it* here's a glimpse of it.

aaah! adorable. ciao fellow bloggers.

quick & fun filled.

hello blogging world. quick post today; i have been in some serious mia mode lately but in my defense i did just get off of an 11 day work week, it is the Fourth of July weekend & the sun has finally made an appearance to our world, so you can understand where i have been, all over the place LoL

in pregnancy world; i feel great, minus the typical back/feet aches, & fatigue other than that i feel great, i believe i am starting to feel my lil peanut, big gee (an uncle to my beloved*) phrased it best last night "it's like a fish swimming in your belly" and at the moment that's what it felt like; faint, weird, kind of moving around in there not what i was expecting (a quick sudden foot in a rib or side) LoL also! my beloved*s cousin bailey is due today! and i saw her yesterday & did exactly what i hate others do to me; immediately ran up to her screaming "belly!" with my hands out & instantly on her belly when my fingers would in reach. LoL she didn't mind tho. owen matthew* her peanut was all over the place, he felt large & in charge. and she was describing what i should be expecting & confirmed my fishy feeling was probably my lil peanut* i have an appt tomorrow with the doctor; so there should be exciting news about that as well as our first registration experience! i could not be more excited to start baby shopping!

in Fourth of July news; it was eventful yet very calming, relaxing & full of fun people & yummy food. we made stops everywhere too!; my parents, my beloveds* parents, my friend julie* my  beloveds* friends sarah & jordans, & ate food at every stop! LoL everyone makes sure i have something to eat, which i am loving! the fireworks were fun, the family/friends were fun to hang with, and the food was yummy as always what more could you ask for on a holiday to celebrate our independence day than going everywhere & being in good spirits all day; happy fourth my military friends! thank you.

lastly i guess i'll do some postsecrets. the past few sundays i have not been feeling what i have been seeing so much but this week there were just a few & here are my favorites. happy fourth & long beautiful weekend fellow bloggers.

being pregnant i worry less about everyone around me & more about me & my lil peanut* i can not wait to meet her.

ha. how i feel the same exact way; answering phones all day, saying the sentence four times to one person makes you have some hatred with phone calls.

i work with some serious characters & i can do this with all of them.

sunday.

so here in boston sunday means a rainy gloomy morning which if it does for others as it does for me it does not help me motivate myself in any way, i would just rather hang in my PJs all day watching DVR'd shows or movies but i now am waiting for my beloved* to get his ace out of the shower & ready to go, he always takes longer! it also means everything that needs to be done needs to be done before 7.30p that way we can all hurry home get comfortable and watch game 7 for the celtics! we need this to stay alive! so as i sit here waiting to being/end the day i came across just a few post secrets i enjoyed today, i am not sure if my sense of humor is changing since pregnancy but i am finding it harder & harder to pick post secrets i enjoy. well anyway here are the few i enjoyed.

apparently my beloved* feared for this his first time around but i am terrified i will have an ugly baby, i understand all babies are icky looking when they first are welcomed to the world but seriously what if my baby is "big-boned" or ugly? = (

i honestly did this in college, haha! good times.

while i do not have a husband overseas i have dear friends, actually someone i consider the best male guy friend i've ever had & i miss him dearly & worry for him everyday.

but that is all for today i guess fellow  bloggers. the shower has just stopped running so i can now finish getting myself ready & begin my day! happy sunday.

pictures, pictures, pictures

okay, so i am up way past my liking tonight. these 4p-12a shifts are kicking my butt. but being at my parents house for the night i couldn't just head to bed & pay no mind to the little green camera with tons of pictures on them i have been dying for since last year! so my fabulous father loaded them up on the laptop & i selected a few of the tons i have. there are the weezer concert pictures missing, i know ryan tomorrow i promise! but other than that i have all my pictures completely updated. LoL from last year until today. so here are some pictures of fun stuff we did/have been up to good night fellow bloggers.

these few are from the tree lighting/christmas lights 2008.

my favorite guys. my beloved* & aidan

my dad loves aidan & now we have our own on the way the fun will only grow.
after the tree lighting we went to the stone zoo, i love the lights they have there around xmas.

monsters!

and julie & walters 2nd reception. 2009.
my baby brother & i.

my beloved* & i

me with the newlyweds & expecting parents!

i think they are an amazing looking couple* gorgeous babies.

julie's mom in the white, my mom in the blue HaHa

goodnight moon*

baby peanut*

so i haven't really said much in a bit about baby peanut* so two weeks ago i had all that first trimester blood-work done as well as the CVS testing (half blood-work, half ultrasound) no results! My doctor told me that if there was anything we needed to go over sooner rather than later she would call me & we would meet, if not then things are looking just as good as they have been & see will see me June 1st for another appt & another ultrasound! yay* this is the highly anticipated ultrasound where my wishes & dreams are confirmed that i will be having my blonde hair, blue eyed baby girl LoL yes, i have this baby girls' life completely planned out already & being that she is not living where i did younger; somerville, dorchester, even everett is going down hill i have high hopes she will be able to focus on the important things in her younger years. but! my beloved* & i have names picked out, we only have one for a lil baby boy, girls we have our middle name a definite but first names we have a list LoL i have in my blackberry a special note that says "keepers" so where-ever we are i jot it down & there we go the list is that much longer LoL we did decide on his favorite persons' name for the boys' middle name & my favorite lil lost gorgeous lady for a girls' middle name and the boys' first name i won't say just not to jinx it ( i really want my girl ) and i don't want anyone stealing it if we don't have our boy just yet. LoL but we have decided to tell the snugglebutt aidan after we find out what it is & after i have a calendar my mom suggested to help him count down the babies arrival so he is not asking "will the baby be here in 2 miminutes" LoL love him to death but that can drive anyone insane especially over 6 months! but baby peanut* is now 13 weeks & 1 day along, pretty much everyone we want to know around us knows, minus a few of my beloveds* people he wants to tell certain people face to face so he is making his way down to them & telling them very soon! so things are going very well with us. hopefully things continue this way & the things we are trying to get in order get in order for us & cause us lil stress, anxiety & just fall into place for us. my brother took a picture of one of the sonogram pictures i gave my mom & i wanted to post it so people can see, if anyone if paying attention LoL but this is my baby peanut* in all her glory. i love her to death already.

happy tuesday fellow bloggers*

Manic Monday

So this morning I had yet another doctor's appointment; honestly all of these doctors appointments for me at least are crazy, I am rarely sick, rarely go to the doctors, and just hate the whole waiting in the waiting room, waiting in the actual exam room, and then waiting for lab people. blah! Lots of waiting & I am not very patient. But! in good news it is for good reasons, I am pregnant! 12 weeks today. Very exciting, my beloved* & I are stoked, we have yet to tell the snugglebutt Aidan for the whole waiting the 3 month period and know how do we word it, how will he react & when will the "is the baby coming in 2 miminutes" LoL will drive us insane. Altho my mom did mention making him his own calendar to countdown the babies' arrival, which I feel will work but I am not sure how long. LoL so there is the big news! We find out June 1st if we will be a mommy of a baby girl or boy of course I want a girl and he wants a boy! Altho I feel he already has a boy so we could do a girl now & a boy later? He isn't feeling that, LoL he needs another boy asap with me! LoL we'll see what happens. We have seen & heard the heartbeat already, heartbeat was at 170 which my great nursing staff at the doctor office said was perfect & everything seems to be right on track, we our first baby peanut picture, my "What to Expect when Expecting" book & journal so we are doing fabulously. But after 12 tubes of blood, finger prick, and a short nap I am exhausted & don't have much else to write about. Here are just a few of the Post Secrets I liked, I personally felt this week was tough. But this is what I got for ya.

i can not wait until i can say this, i drive about 45 minutes to work everyday. boo!

in the hotel where i work there is a japanese steakhouse & i love messing around with the old guys that work in there, HaHa they are awesome.

this is def how i feel about my beloved* & i know he feels about me.

well it has been a busy Monday & tomorrow will be just as busy; I have an ultra sound & an 8 hour shift to stand on my feet & deal with these nervous flyers (swine flu!) so good day fellow bloggers

pictures of Julie's mock wedding reception, or 2nd wedding reception to come. my baby brother took the camera & posted only the pictures he was in LoL 

Frustrated

So there has been an insane amount of things going on around me lately & I am highly frustrated. There is a lot of events, birthdays, functions going on in May so every weekend is tightly scheduled down to the minute for us & for me I am an "on-time, prompt, all my ducks in a row type of gal" and for someone to throw me a curve ball at the pretty much last minute it really frustrates me. I mean come on, we all have lives to lead on a daily basis & we set aside certain times to see loved ones, friends & do these things that need to get done so for someone to just make a phone call "change of plans" casually & then have no thought in the world that maybe other people have things going on & a time change of hours may throw their schedule off, really ticks me off. Blah! Nevermind the fact that my birthday is coming up & for year number two now no one seems to care. I am the type of gal who will make a big deal out of someone else's birthday or special event yet nothing gets done for mine, unless I ask. Who wants to have to ask to be remembered once a year! Really. I guess I am in a rut; all else is well, work is going well, home/family is well, and of course me & my beloved* are fabulous I am in a serious rut. People are driving me insane at the moment, everyone has things to do of course! I realize that, can others realize too? Maybe the fact that I missed out on the fabulous weekend weather that just passed due to being deathly ill! could be why I am so off, who knows. All I can say is; everyone is well, things are going well, and my birthday is coming up! So maybe this rut will just be this particular event & not be one of those snow balls affects. Well Happy Thursday fellow bloggers, tomorrow is my dear Julie's "mock wedding reception" and my speech is non-exsistant at this time, my beloved* says I should just go from the heart the way he's heard me speak of Julie & Walter is fabulous and that would be more than good enough, not to mention the fact and I quote "seeing a tiny goregous girl get emotion is a killer too" so I am leaning towards winging in! Wish me luck fellow bloggers, picture to follow first event my entire family is going to in a long time! Woot.Woot god help the rest of the function.

home sweet home*

so I am home from my trip to vegas* and man was it a trip, 5 hour flight there got in at 8.30p which was prime time to see lots of lights, sounds & even LoL smells. HaHa the next day was the wedding, which was so emotional & gorgeous it killed me everything was so beautiful & just perfect for my dearest/oldest friend. ah! and it was warm; we enjoyed the weather, walking, seeing & just having a blast. the flight home was a nightmare. the flight from vegas went to dallas & it was delayed for literally 4 hours! then american airlines insures that everyone will make their connections no need to worry ha! i miss mine!! so instead of heading from dallas to boston in the wee-hours of the morning i slept in the dallas airport with a lot of other poor slobs. finally! at 8am i finally get on my last 3 hour flight home & arrive home at 12.30p instead of 1a boo! but overall the trip was fantastic! i loved it, everything about it! i, of course, missed my guys & couldn't wait to get home to them but isn't that how traveling is without your loved ones. but being day 2 into reality (work is really busy marathon weekend is longer due to patriots days) and i am beat, so here are some fun photos there are a bunch more on facebook/myspace. enjoy!

excitment, excitment, excitment

Ah! I apologize but I just can not get over my excitment for my trip to Vegas that begins today! Ah. I am so excited I can barely stand it; I am still here at work and I can not think about anything other than that, all my work is set & ready to go so I am jsut waiting for 2p to come. I do have a good number of things to do between 2p & 4.30p (time I need to be at the airport for my flight) I still need to pack! eek, I usually wait til the last minute but I usually have most in the suitcase & awaiting the last minute items for the morning but this time I am so behind, I need to get my nails done!, and maybe get a shower in? Who knows. But I can not wait for the warmth, the sun, the shorts & flip flops! Ah! Can't stand it! Ah. I printed out a few pictures of what I will be doing this week/weekend hope your week/weekend if fabulous too, of course actual pictures to come later.

Ciao fellow bloggers, until week.

Happy Easter

we finally saw watchmen today! horray, and i actually enjoyed it, thoroughly i might say.

So for all of us Catholics out there today is Easter Sunday, which in my eyes has lost a lot (if not all) of it's meaning along the years. But nevertheless it is a time for families to get together, in their Sunday best (ha! little gag there), and enjoy each others company along with yummy food. Being that my beloved* and I usually hang out, eat food & vanish! But being a little bit of a different situation this time around we hung out a wee bit longer than usually, all in all was a good day & we snuck in Watchmen! I actually thoroughly enjoyed the movie, Matt you have no standing being a movie critic my friend! Sorry. But had a long, long day today we were actually about at about 9am without the lil man so I am beat, but I did check out todays' Post Secrets and came across a few I actually liked, haven't been very pleased with Post Secrets last few Sundays, so here you go fellow bloggers enjoy what's left of the weekend.

my moto right here, life can always be worse. relax!

i just really enjoyed this picture because i have so many pictures that i would love to be back in high school & cut out their faces & pretend they never exsisted in my life. awful people!

this is how i feel about my beloved*

we are both stubborn, hard-heated but i love ya babe.

that it is for the day bloggers, it has been a long exhausting day for me. but! lots of exciting things are to come; my Vegas trip is this week/weekend, Val's wedding, and of course my news!

Down in the Dumps

I've been down in the dumps the past few days, I got some serious news a few weeks ago that is changing everything & since then people around me have just acting like complete assh0les & not realizing that their actions, words & phrases not only hurt the one it is directly used towards but others as well so I have been feeling really low lately when I should in fact should be thrilled. So being as low as I have been when I should be thrilled bums me out more! Ugh. I am just really bummed. I am treated like sh!t by people I once called dear friends, now people I love are crushing me all over the place. What the hell is happening around me? Maybe once the work week is over & I get a weekend to myself, my feet up & relaxation time I will feel better, hopefully. But people are blowing my mind, shocking because I've been around assh0les for a long time & I know how awful they can be. Some people are so selfish, stubborn, arrogant, & just plain rude and try to pass all that off as something else to cover themselves so it looks like they're good people. Why cover it? Call a spade a spade, if you act this way you have to know what you are doing yet you try to still pretend you're a good person? HaHa blow my mind! I also hate the phrases "you're overreacting or blowing things out of proportion" I mean if someone feels a certain way about something & gets upset how is it being blow out of proportion? Now if I had turned around & done/said what I wanted then maybe yes I would have been blowing things out of proportion but I get upset & leave it in the house & let no one know how I really feel other than a select few. So please, stop with the bogus phrases cause if you want to see insanely blow out of proportion events then I can def do that for you.

I am done for the morning, last week was an end of a rough few weeks. Lots of changes coming up, mean people not realizing what they are doing, and of course me being the "bigger person" and just taking it all in stride. It gets to a person after an amount of time, and that was last week. I am hoping this week is better, Opening Day for the Red Sox is this week, been postponed from today due to rain, I have Tuesday off which means I will be able to watch the entire game! my boss changed a few of my shifts so I get out a 8p, and an exciting weekend coming up! Ah, to the future! Ciao fellow bloggers.

Not much.

So, it's been about a week my dear blog. WoW it has been a very eventful, news filled, lots of excitement, nervousness, & just overall 'wow' But I will get into details at a later time, not an open book but this is something that will be known eventually to all, but no need for it now. But onto other things. Hhhm. All is well here; Boston is starting to slowly warm up, the snow is almost all gone, baseball season is almost here, and the economy is hurting us but not killing us! Which is phenomenal! I understand everyone is under lots of pressure & stress worrying about their financial situation, trust me I am as well, but if you have a job, have food, shelter & loved ones I think you're golden I know I am! We can't have it all right, I'd prefer food, shelter & lots of love than lots of money, of course all of the above would be nice but they say 'you can't have your cake & eat it too' so I like the cake I have. 

I don't really have much to say & I am rather tired, but I am here news is coming (rather exciting news) & looking for some topics to blog about. Altho I believe once my fellow bloggers are back, no names (kaiti, kolleen, & jaime) I will read theirs & get ideas, that's basically how it works. Seem everyone is on vacation lately! Til later bloggers. 

Mile a Minute

I am so sorry I have been neglecting you my dear blog! But unfortunately this will not be a "real" post tonight. My mind is all over the place big week this week; and I don't mean big in a good way altho some items/events have been good overall it's been a glum week. Young person I know has passed away, two near/dear people to me are having serious issues with some serious issues (not my stories to tell), I also have friends with weddings coming very fast, babies on their ways just lots going on at the moment. We did replace the girl that went MiA here at work but the whole re-training process (we hired back a girl who was laid-off) is draining. Plus we are starting to get busy (yay*) so getting things ready for these guests, groups, corporate accounts & crews coming in beginning next month is kicking my ace & all I want to do when I am not here is sleep or just relax with my feet up. I do! Have good news, well no details at this time but some very exciting news is to come very soon. Lots of my loved ones have exciting things going on & the second I have time to sit & concentrate on their stories (that I can share) I will be all over it. Until later in the week my fellow bloggers & beloved blog! Ciao*

No Smoking!

So today I am going to ramble on & on about smoking! I am a smoker! Haven't always been, and when I was much younger I would pick & pry at my mother, aunts, cousins, whomever I saw with a cigarette in their hand to not smoke & preach all there is to preach about why smoking is bad for you! And yes it is completely ironic & crazii that I am now a smoker myself, but shut up! I am LoL. So today two guests' (males) from Alabama check in with myself & Jamie (another smoker) and get really mad that we are a non-smoking property and they have to go in the freezing cold weather to have a cigarette. Now I try to explain to guests that come in, we are smokers so we feel their pain in going outside & freezing but we don't make the rules we just enforce them. Also, I've heard rumors that the city of Cambridge (a town on the other side of Boston) is enforcing people to only smoke in/on their property!! You will be ticketed for walking down the street, or hanging outside of a building & smoking a cigarette! Whether or not this is true this is completely insane! Cigarettes are legal! I can legally go & buy cigarettes at a number of places but I can not smoke them in certain places, or in certain cities!! That is insane! I mean I understand non-smokers don't want to have the cigarette smoke in their face while they are eating or drinking or even in my hotel room or house, neither do I. But now to shun us slowly out of society & into dark alleys (cause that will be the only place if that law goes thru we can smoke) or we're stuck in our houses. If they really didn't want people smoking & paying the taxes on these horrible, deadly cigarettes make them illegal! it's that simple.
What really blows my mind as while all of this is happening the laws for mariujana are being lowered? WTF! Seriously, mariujana is illegal! why are these laws being lowered? 'oh well if you get caught with an ounce or less the punishment is a slap on the wrists?' WTF. Okay, I personally am not a huge fan of mariujana but I couldn't care either way if mariujana was legal or not but I don't make the laws & now they are saying 'oh well shame on you but we want to limit the tax-payers expense accounts & not put them thru the long court process' 1. thank you as a tax payer for that & 2. fcuk you! as a smoking tax payer for that. I pay my taxes & pay taxes on cigarettes & I can not smoke my LEGAL cigarettes in certain cities, or places! that is absolutely insane. I am completely pissed off with this sh!t right now. UGH! Sorry fellow bloggers, but there are certain things that just iritate me! I am a smoker, yes! But I don't smoke in my house, in my hotel room, in my car when I have non-smokers in it, near children or groups of people who I know are bothered by it & I never blow it in a persons' face!! I honestly feel, for a smoker, I am seriously considerate of others & not discusting at all! So for me to accept this information, it is killing me! I am absolutely appauled, stunned & just furious. I feel that this is an attempt to make us cookie-cutters & making us all the same. Think about it, corporate America is giving people all these pills to make us 'happy, gitty & whatever', we can go certain places, do certain things & now we're being told what we can do & can't do with this with LEGAL items. BLAH! Well I am done with this rant for the moment. Have a fabulous Monday night & enjoy the snow, it's here & obviously winter isn't over.
