i'm in recovery from an extremely long and damaging vacation.

Lake George was great, New Years was great, and the Bandits game was great.

We even had the Bandettes in our suite with us!

But after 5 nights of drinking and shenanigans, I'm ready for the monotony of daily life.

I am sorry I missed the Estrip New years party though - it looked like great fun.

Oh and I watched Dark Knight last night. Creepy.

I'm tired. As excited as I am for heading out for my annual trip to Lake George for New Years, I'm tired. And I can't wait till next sunday, my next FULL day off with really nothing to do but recover.

And since that will be the day after the bandits game, I'm intending on being hungover then as well.

e:Janelle or e:drew - Let me know when we can drop off the key. e:lauren will be out running errands and should be able to drop off the key, if need be. But she doesn't remember where you live either (she was absolutely no help to me in finding your place) so maybe she will go door to door!

This list errand list is too long to write.

I'm at my brothers. My dog won't stop crying. He missed e:lauren. I think its time to go home.

Its kind of cute how every morning as I eat my cereal at the computer desk, my cat sits patiently at the edge of the desk, staring longingly at the bowl. He never gets any, but somehow he knows that what is in that bowl is reaaally good.

Last night I was trimming ralphie's obscenely long nails and cut one too close. He was bleeding so much, both e:lauren and I were crying. He was fine, we were crying.

we went to my uncle's on Saturday night. He lives on fort niagara. As in his house is next to the giant walls of the fort. He actually lives in the lighthouse keepers house. We walked through the castle by 'candlelight', froze to death and then played 'you might be a redneck if' with a few family members. e:lauren and I won. Oh yeah.

Shoveling is good exercise, huh? I got to dig out my car twice this weekend, and e:lauren's car once. The problem is that we have no place to put the snow in the parking lot, so I was throwing the snow over a 6 foot plus high fence. My shoulders are crying.

And last night we ran out to wegmans for some essentials and when we got back, some idiot was parked across two spaces. I had to squeeze into the last space that was barely possible, and I'm sure that somebody did not get to park in the lot. e:lauren wrote 'douche' across the back of their car in snow, but when I looked outside later - somebody had wiped it off. how sad.

I'm unsure as to how this morning is about to progress. I'm rather nervous, to be quite frank, of going outside, digging myself out and attempting to drive to, of all places, Springville. I have to be there by 8:30. I should be leaving in two minutes if I want to get there on time.

I have tucked my dress pants into my tube socks. what the hell is wrong with me?
