It’s been a while since I’ve updated. It’s probably because there are about 3 people who read my blog on a regular basis, and I talk to all of them pretty much every couple days. But just in case I have any “secret admirers” I figured I’d update the past couple weeks in one post.
Well I guess the first real exciting thing to post would be Valentines Day. I had been told by Adam not to expect any gifts or surprises b/c Valentine’s Day is “nothing but a stupid Hallmark holiday.” My immediate response was that it was his ONE day a year where he is actually expected to be romantic. I went off to work thinking that not only would I not be receiving any flowers, but that Adam would be at basketball until 8:00pm that night. I was pretty disappointed and was hoping that he would pull through with at least flowers from the supermarket when he came home. I went off to work and within a couple minutes of firing up my computer had an email w/ and attachment from Adam. It said “I don’t want you to hold your breath about anything coming to work so I figured I would send this.” Great, it’s Valentines Day and I’m going to get a dumb e-card!! Well I was wrong, Adam had somehow gotten tickets for him and I to see Wicked, that night in NYC. We were going to go to dinner too, but by the time we got off work and rushed into the city to make the 7:00pm show, we didn’t have time. After the play (which was so good!!!) we were too tired to go to dinner and just wanted to get home. I had to get home and pack for Texas (I was thinking I would have most of the evening to pack since Adam would be a “basketball”) because I had to be at the airport at 7:00am the next morning.
The next morning Mason met me at my apt and after getting gas, parking the car, and grabbing a bite at the airport we were on our way to Dallas, Texas. Our flight was delayed for about 20 minutes, and because our first meeting was only 1 hour after we landed, AND we were forced to check out carry-on luggage because the plane was full, I was sure we would be late for our first appointment. We ended up arriving on time and picked up our luggage and rental car and arrived to our 1st appointment 15 minutes early. On our way to our second appointment, Mason and I spotted a BW3’s from the highway. It was too late to turn around, but kept our eyes peeled for any more. We found one more and 8 boneless spicy garlic wings later, we were at our 2nd appointment. After that we drove 30 more miles to our hotel. After checking in and relaxing for a bit, we headed out for dinner. I think I was asleep by 9:30pm… what an exhausting day!!!
We had one final appointment the next morning and were able to catch an earlier flight into Newark, which put us back home by 5:30pm instead of 9:30pm. Mason flew from Dallas to San Fran to spend the weekend with his girlfriend for a post Valentine’s celebration. I drove Cindy back home, but not without stopping at Century 21 and for dinner at a local Italian restaurant.
The following weekend was pretty uneventful. I went to Happy Hour after work on Friday and babysat Saturday night. Adam went to Atlantic City on Saturday with some guys from work, as they had Monday off for Presidents Day. On Sunday I went to Jim’s house to drop off some gifts for his niece. I got to hold her for a bit and hope I didn’t damage her hearing too badly. On Sunday night I went to see “Date Movie” with Lauren, Kory’s girlfriend. It was entertaining, but because it was meant to mock various movies the storyline was pretty lame. I came home and killed some time on myspace, which I had joined the night before while bored at babysitting. I picked up Mason at Newark at about 12:40am, and was asleep in bed at 1:30am getting ready for the new week.
The work week flew by, and by Thursday night Adam and I were cleaning our apartment for my sister and mom’s arrival the next day. They arrived a couple hours late on Friday night at about 11:50pm. On Saturday we ventured into the city. My mom wanted to see Ground Zero and go to St. Patrick’s Cathedral for mass at 5:30pm. We parked in Hoboken and grabbed lunch before taking the PATH to the World Trade Center. By the time we were at church I could barely keep my eyes open. I feel asleep on Adam’s shoulder during the homily, something I don’t think I’ve done since I was a child. Yesterday we spent the afternoon walking around Century 21 in Morristown, and then hitting up the grocery store on the way home. It was nice to have my mom pay for my groceries, I didn’t go crazy though. We picked up the stuff to make Chicken Divan for dinner and Lasagna for tonight’s dinner.
It’s been so nice to have my mom and sister visiting. I don’t realize how much I miss them until they’re here. It’s weird to be able to talk to them face-to-face, or kiss them goodnight. I know it will be hard for my mom when she leaves, but I’ll see her in another 2 months, if not sooner.

Adam moves in, Beerfest and Super Bowl
Wanted to update everyone from the past couple weekends before I forget, as it is I'm having a hard time remembering last weekend since the past couple weeks have been so nutty.
Last Friday night Kory, Lauren, Walt and myself went to Hoboken and met up with Jim, Keith, San and Dave. Texas Arizona had $2.00 Miller dafts, but we still managed to rack up a $130.00 bar tab. It was a good time and I hadn't seen Keith in forever! I was the designated driver so unfortunately I have no good drunken stories for that night. Walt ended up crashing at my house (Dear Brak, <-- that's for you, Walt) and woke me up the next morning by texting me from the living room asking me to bring him a glass of water and muffin. Walt was kind enough to stick around until 11:00am, when Adam and Kory pulled in the parking lot with Adam's stuff. That's right, Adam and I are officially living in sin.
We unloaded the trailer which left just enough room in my apartment for a small walk way to get from one room to the next. We all grabbed lunch and Adam and I came home to get ready to meet up with Lauren and Kory to see Dave Attell at Rascals Comedy Club in Montclair. I had a great time, and I actually thought the guys doing stand up before Dave were funnier than he was. We spent the rest of the night at a bar right around the corner and crashed at Kory's place before heading home to unpack and organize. It's been over one week and I feel like we're finally starting to make progress.
This past Friday night Adam and I headed to his parents house to unload a lot of the stuff we couldn't store here. On Satruday we went to the Central New York Beer Fest which had brewpubs from across North America. I got pretty wasted and also discovered a new drink of choice. Budweiser is now selling this stuff called Tilt. It tastes just like Red Bull and has Caffeine like Red Bull, but also has an alcohol content of 6.6%. I had about 3 glasses in addition to the many samples of beer. After the cab dropped us back at the hotel we took a nap until dinner time. We discovered a small Italian restuarant across the street from the hotel and had a great dinner.
We drove home from Syracuse on Sunday morning and got ready for G.C.'s Super Bowl party. Giancarlo had quite the spread of food, and his TV and surround sound provided great entertainment for the game. I enjoyed all the commercials, especially the Dove commercial with the little girls (which totally made me cry) and the Budweiser one with the pony and Clydesdale horses. We came home after the game and went right to bed (well Adam did at least) I stayed up for a little longer because I couldn't fall asleep and ended up going to bed at about 1:00am. Tonight will definately be different. It's only 7:45 and my bed is calling my name. Wife Swap, Bachelor, and a a tube of cookie dough sound pretty good right now. I think I'll have to settle for the bed and TV.
