• I have to, HAVE TO, have something to chew while I drive. Oh, and it has to able to be varied: Lifesavers, mint gum, Peanut M&Ms, etc...
• I can things out of nothing. This is both for real items- like today I made a sewing box for Ruth out of a shoe box, glue, and old fabric from the basement- and for not real things- I can decide that someone is hurt or angry when I do not hear from them, even if I truly believe they are OK. (Hint, Hint Pacific Coast man)

A Little Fun and Miss Our Lady of Victory

It just so happened that this morning while searching for another photo, I found this photo of Miss Our Lady of Victory 1976. What a little princess!

I love Cindy's idea for the group "meme" so here's my contribution:

Four movies I can watch over and over:
Far and Away
The Princess Bride
Grease
The King and I--well, the dance scene--my favorite scene in any movie EVER

Four TV shows I love:
What Not to Wear
Barefoot Contessa
Whose Wedding is It Anyway? (yes, I know--it's not mine)
Weirdly, PTI--Pardon the Interruption is a sports talk show on ESPN. I have no idea why I enjoy it so much. I think it's the verbal sparring. I really don't love sports so it's weird that I like this show. Don't tell Mike.

Four places I’ve visited:
Virginia--a zillion times. And maybe a zillion more times. Anyone ready for a road trip?
Florida
The Grand Canyon
Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Four of my favorite dishes:
A really good bacon cheeseburger and french fries
Nana's meatloaf
Macaroni and Cheese--homemade--none of that boxed crap
Grama's famous sketti. Anytime.

Four Books I enjoy:
The Artist Way by Julia Cameron
Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach
Vintage Vavoom by Romantic Homes Magazine (LOVE this one!)
Yes, The Bible--oh, the intrigue, the mystery, the love stories, the adventure!

Four places I would rather be right now:
HOME! (I'm at work)
At Christie's--badgering her to pack something NICE for her honeymoon. Of course, maybe she won't need clothes......it will be her HONEYMOON! Hey--Chris--you need more than one bathing suit. And a nice dress.
Under a tree, reading a book, preferably with something cold to drink
Anywhere with my sisters

Four quirks I have:
Huh. I have no quirks. Which, if I believe that, is a quirk. Okay. Fine:
I don't care if the house is falling in, the bathroom towels have to be perfectly folded.
I shouldn't eat Pop Tarts, but when I do, they need to be almost burned to be eaten.
I can't wear brown shoes when I'm carrying a black purse. If I do, it's really painful and embarrassing for me. Same for black belt and brown shoes. Those two colors shouldn't be worn together as accessories. I don't care if they are both neutrals!
I know there are more. But I'm done for now!

Cindy--where's your contribution??

Man, it is like so quiet in here

So, how about we play a game? Each of us can post our answers in a new post, so we can comment on each other and have some fun. If the answers are the same, hey look at our roots. :)

If you can not post, email me, and I will post them for you. I think we forget how much fun we all are. I know there is a lot going on, but this might add new conversation to all the upcoming events. :)

Dropkick Murphys

This is The Dropkick Murphy's. I apologize for the poor quality, we were getting pushed around.

but then again, you can't expect much more for 10 feet from center stage at a Celtic punk show.

this is The Murphy's performing again, We moved here because Erin wasn't liking how rough the crowd was getting

This video is actually The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, not the Dropkick Murphy's. The Bosstones are touring with the Murphy's, so they performed too. I apologize if you want to really here the sound in it, we were right up front and there was a lot of bass, so the sounds not good.

Well this is what I did on the Twelfth. Erin came over, and we left here at 3:30 to go to Pawtucket, RI to McCoy stadium. We arrived at about 4:45 and waited for the gates to open, which was late, They were supposed to open at 5 but they didn't until 5:30. the show started at 6:30( a half an hour late too) and was started off by a fem-punk band (that means it was a girl band) from L.A. I don't remember what the name was, but they weren't great. I'm sure I could listen to a CD but there live performance was not good. following this was the changing of sets. While the fem-punk band was on, we saw a guy get pulled from the pit, limp but very much awake, leading me to believe that the kick he took to the face may have broken his neck. Anyway, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones came next, they are a ska- punk band from Boston, and put on a good show, involving the crowd quite a bit. Also, they yelled at the crowd for throwing beer bottles around (don't worry they were plastic). At one point, someone threw a full bottle straight up, which looked really cool. It went up and just sorta seemed to stop for a couple seconds. but anyway, they played their full set, and then they stopped and there was a change of sets, at which point Erin and I, who started off the the side of they stage, moved to center stage for the Dropkick Murphy's. When they came on though, it got too rough for erin and so we moved out. on our way out, there was a man pushing Erin, and so I pushed him out of the way. He in turn, pusheed her and then me. I didn't take him pushing her around very well, and punched him in the chest, breaking a couple of his ribs (the is known by the unarguable cracking that i felt upon contact). from this point on, the show was fine. We moved out, but were still close to the stage, and enjoyed our show. anyway, she was getting tired and so we left about halfway through what was supposed to be the last song. It wasn't. We got about halfway out of the parking lot when the encore started. Fireworks went off into they sky and the music rang out as we walked to the car, and drove off into the night, not to return home until 12:30 AM. Quite the night. fun, exciting, and violent at times.

Well I guess...

I should update you all on whats been up, seems like everyone is updating which is good, because I like to know how everybody is doing.

Sooo....I got my tattoo on my leg finished up on thursday, three and a half hours and lots of pain...it looks awesome. It's rather large, but I love it still, and she wants to put it in her portfolio, which is kind of a big deal.

I'm still living with Josh-I'm surprised I've lasted this long without my mom! ahaha. We are doing wonderfully, lots of fun and good times. WE are going to see a band called Sigor Ros in September, which is a big deal for the both of us because we both love them. THey are from Iceland and their shows have "Changed peoples lives" haha. Once I get a full time job we are going to get our own place, so I have have my cat back.

Not much else has been happening for me, that's about all, I hope everyone is doing superb, and it'd be nice to get a post from everyone else about whats going on with their selves, soo HOORAY for sam and DJ for posting! ahha

HI!

sorry I haven't posted in a while.but work's been in the way.
Well I'll start from the end of my senior year. I got awards. 325$ I think. 2 awards, both of which were for being top notch plumber. I got my NOCTI score back, I got a 92. I also Gradumacated. that's good. I had my grad party, that was good too. Sorry I haven't gotten the chance to do my thank you notes, but they will come, Thank you anyway. I started work at ASI on june 30th. I came to find out that I was the only one of 3 grasso plumbers that was supposed to be working there. One of them had actually gotten me the job, and was fired because he never showed up to work and when he did, he didn't work. The other was fired before he started because he had talked his way up, and the company found out that none of this was true. But anyway, work is good. I have been told I am starting out better than most people they've had come through, and my apprenticeship has been started early. I was supposed to wait 30 days from the date I started, and I signed the papers to start on Thursday, getting me a 50 cent raise. On top of that, when I bring in my diploma, I should get a 90 cent raise if Tony (the head boss) decides that my school credit should count towards my apprenticeship time, which is 8,000 hours of trade related work. my school time would account for 1500 hours of that. Well anyway, I'm going to look at getting a vehicle today, and must get dressed to do so. I'll talk to you later.



Oh I forgot to mention, I bought Erin tickets to see The Dropkick Murphys for here birthday, and we are going tonight. And on top of that, she got tickets to see the Phantom of the Opera in NYC and I will be going on her birthday for that. It is on a smaller Broadway theatre, not the big one but close. It will be the same people.

Nathan and i started lamaze class last wednesday and it is every wednesday for the next 6 weeks. we also got a cute simese kitten her name is lola and she is 12 weeks old. she is a blue simese which means that instead of her face and tail being black it is blue. so yesterday Jenn brought me to concord and i got my licence back!!!! Im very excited. and i already got pulled over lol. i was on my way to bring jenn lunch at newburys and i got pulled over for my inspection sticker but im in the 10 day period so i was ok but when he came back to give me my license he goes "i have a ? 4 you... 2 years ago you got busted with drugs in your car do you have any in there now?" so i just smiled and pointed at my stomach and said "im pregnant now and those days are over!! but if you want you can check my car." he just smiled and said:"thats ok have a nice day" i thought it was funny. anyway i got it back and im very happy!!! and scared to drive i think its been almost 2 years without a licence.
