Last Days of School

This week is the last week of school. I am so excited, I could cry. Usually I get kind of nostalgic but not this year. I can't wrap this year up any faster then I am trying to do right now. This was one of my classes, actually my favorite class. We had donut Fridays and cereal Thursdays, I would bring the milk and they would bring the cereal. Good times. We also did "locker" runs. They would ask to go to their "locker" and come back with drinks, McDonald's etc. Soon I had to specify, your real locker or a "locker" run. They were pretty funny. I will probably miss them next year, right now they are pretty frustrating and I am excited to see them move on. Graduation is Thursday. I can't wait!

Time for S'mores

The other day I was in the mood for s'mores. So I busted out my s'more kit. It's seriously one of my favorite things. I bought it last year and used it all the time. (Thanks to my great friend Karen.--we used hers at girls camp and I had to have one) It's the next best thing to a campfire.

It really makes such a great s'more.

Here we are using it at our last family reunion. I'm so excited for summer.

Wishin' for New York

So my sisters and my cousin are headed for New York tonight. I am totally wishing that I was going with them. I am totally missing the city--so I am going to finally post my pictures.

We stayed at the Hotel Pennsylvania. It was right across from Penn Station and Madison Square Garden. It was ok. It's a good thing that we were always out all hours of the night and did not hang too much in the room.

Nancy and me eating Pizza at Grimaldi's.

One day we took the subway into Brooklyn to have pizza. First of all the Brooklyn Bridge is one of my favorite New York landmarks. I think it is so cool. We ate pizza at Grimaldi's. It was so good. This is where I saw Sophia Bush. It was so exciting. She was one table away. This was also the day my friends and I all slept in. We had to be in the lobby by 7:45. We woke up at 7:28!! NOT COOL. But we made it.

Magnolia Bakery. LOVE IT! They have the best cupcakes ever. My favorite is the chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing. I totally slammed my cupcake. I was starving. I am dying for one now.

Earlier that day we stopped by Ground Zero. It was an emotional place. I could not see much there, due to construction, but there was a feeling there.

We were sure to support the local Fire Department. My girls were very happy to pose with the HOT firemen. I liked the one on the right. They were like celebrities around there. Their station was right across from Ground Zero, so their department had to be one of the first on the scene.

While we were there we saw a Mets game. The Mets won in the 14th inning. It was pretty exciting. I wish it was the Yankee/Red Sox game, but those tickets were a little pricey.

Go Mets! Darcie, Nancy and me eating a hot dog. It was good, but it was no Dodger Dog.

This was one of my favorite purchases of the trip. I bought an initial necklace at Tiffany's. I love it. It's my favorite piece of jewelry and I wear it almost everyday.

We saw some Broadway shows while we were there as well. I saw CryBaby, Phantom and Mary Poppins. Mary Poppins was my favorite.

The group at the M&M store. Nancy, Darcie, Gwen, me and Mari.

Tiffany and Bailey looking at purse on Canal Street. I got yelled at for taking this picture. (evidence maybe...) I bought two purses and perfume. I love them all!

The day we slept in. I think we look pretty good. Again we made it on time..and no one knew!

Sydney, me and Nicki. Two of the girls I was in charge of.

Favorite Pictures.



I can't wait to go back.

Pictures from the race.

We had a great time.

Lisa, me, Jen, and Jane.

Lisa and I showing off our tatoos. I thought I had better guns to show off. Apparently, I need to lift more weights. We liked the pink bandanas. We really felt like we were supporting the cause.

Race for the Cure

Last Saturday my sister and my cousin and her friend all participated in The Race for the Cure. This such a fun event. It is huge and there is a ton free stuff. I do it for the t-shirt, the channel 4 tatoo, and togetherness. (yes cheezy, but I needed another T). I am waiting to get the picture of all of us at the event, but until then this will have to do.

Since it's all about breast cancer it's a chance for people to get inventive about the t-shirts. Some of my favorite t-shirts said-"Big, Small let's save them all." "Cynthia's rack pack", "I've got all my sista's with me" "______ loves the hoo-ha's" (I can't remember which Frat said that so fill in the blank. There was one more but I can't remember it.

It's such a great time. And as always-Lisa does it without training or setting foot on a tredmill. And she finishes! I can't wait for next year!

Wasting time Reading

I received an email about my Amazon order, The Host, which is on its way. I have heard some pretty good things about it. I am excited about just reading. I think that means that I have given up on actually planning stuff for school. I just want to read. I hope that it will be as good as Twilight.

So my cousin and I signed up for the Hobblecreek Half marathan. Yeah, that's right 13.1 miles of pure fun. That should be a great time. Lisa said if she is in town she will meet us at the finish line. (What a great sister). Save the date: Aug. 23. Race time 7:15. The one bad thing is that T-shirts go only to those who finish. So I will have to actually finish the race to receive my bragging rights.

(No, that is not me in the picture leading the group. It's not Jen either. We will be in the back, but not the last person)
