and it sure was fun





last night was elaine's halloween party. i didn't go to bed until 6 am. you decide if you missed an amazing time or not. (you did). :) i wish i had pictures, but i'll have to wait a day or 2 for the slackers to post them. i can't even begin to sum up the night, so i'll just try to pick out a few highlights...

the costumes:
julie and paul came as austin powers and foxxy cleopatra (beyonce) - when people told paul he did a really good accent, he told them he was an actor.
danny came as a mail woman. he kept trying to deliver "amanda hugandkiss"s mail and accidentally dropping his wallet in front of attractive men...
all the girls could have easily gone to the strip club later and made a few bucks.
"she looks totally hot! i'm not even gay, but i would totally do her!"

elaine invited a match.com date and he looks like wil ferrel. i absolutely love him! he came dressed as elf and introduced himself to everyone as buddy. if i weren't married, i would totally marry him today. and i told him that repeatedly. when i first saw him by the keg, i of course ran over screaming "SANTA! I KNOW HIM! I KNOW HIM!!!" have i mentioned that i love him?

julie and paul and i all had deep discussions. i hope they were good, because i sure don't remember them. most of the night is a blur of dancing/bayroot/talking. a good party to be sure.... damn that was fun...

anyway, first thing in the morning (6 am) i head up to MA, meeting shakes in hartford for breakfast and then continuuing on to look at a bunch of apartments and get ready for my FIRST DAY OF WORK! ROCK!

Deliberate. The adjective, not the verb.

I'm getting so excited for our move.  SO EXCITED!  I'm going to finally spend adult time with my parents (which I'm sure will be infuriating and full of unintended consequences, but also awesome.)  They will be a daily (or maybe weekly) part of our lives for as long as we have them.  This is a deliberate choice, maybe a crazy choice, but one that I embrace with the little knowledge I have of the actuality of it.  I may miss the weather, but life is about people to me, not things. I'm going to live 0.4 miles away from my best friend, and 3.7 miles away from my sister.  I'm going to do real estate.  Matt is going to do a business adventure with his best friend.  This is a deliberate move.  This is a deliberate life.  This is a rebuttal to all the times people say, "I wish I could... but I can't."  Because the thing is, "There's enough time in  your life for everything important."  You are given only one life on this plane...

The Perfect Social Media Life

Watching a little Gary Vee this morning and his rant on caring about what other people think.  (Everything he does is a rant.  But an awesome rant.  I As intended, it caused me to reflect on my social media persona and think about why I post.  Honestly, I post because it's a bit of a yearbook for me.  I love documenting the great stuff, because my brain forgets (in about 0.2 seconds), and I especially love when Facebook reminds me of my memories.  I'm not trying to convince the world that I have the perfect life - I DO have the perfect life.  It's full of family and friends and experiences.  Shelter and safety and amazing food.  In fact, sometimes I DON'T post because I don't want people to compare their lives and feel lacking.  I just want to remember this amazingness for the days when it's not amazing.  Gary Vee posits that we post fantastic stuff because we crave other peoples' validation on our daily lives.  But I know eve...

All sorts of congratulations

We'll start with family... The event of the season! Lisa and Tom's wedding was this past weekend and I'm exhausted, but in a good way. My family (God bless 'em) can be so tiring... :) The wedding itself though was a phenomenal success. We got everything set up in time, the key players all showed up for the ceremony (though my parents were almost late because Colby threw a massive temper tantrum about putting on his suit), and the weather was perfect. They did a tropical/bbq type theme at an old estate (Joanna Furnace) with an accordian playing DJ. He was actually pretty good :) Saturday morning we girls went to get our hair/makeup/lives done, and Shakes was nice enough to accompany us and take pictures. Link is on the top left :) We made it to the church about a half hour before the ceremony to change and hang out, only to realize that by putting our dresses in the dryer to de-wrinkle, they had been almost ruined by a wayward dryer sheet. Other women would have panicked...
