Since I posted a pic of Shelby, it's only fair to post one of the demon...I mean Minion. She's a mini pinscher and god does she had the typical I'm small but I can kick anyone' s butt mentality. Little brat!

Just had to post a pic of my pup, Shelby. Okay so she's not a pup anymore since she's about 4 years old. Poor thing had been in a house fire, was adopted once but then returned cause the other dog in the house didn't get along with her and then was going through cage stress before we got her.

I mostly posted this for the hell of it. Actually partially so you can see what color my hair is now. Although it's a little lighter then this pic. It was wet in this pic and don't ask me what's up with the hair in the face pose. LOL I was a bit drunk that night. It was my birthday weekend, dang it!

Cute pic, huh? Me and Tim. I don't know what I'm going to do when Tim moves to California. I think I'm still in denial about it. I think this is my 2nd favorite pic of me and Tim. The other one I have at work on my desk.

Wow back in the days of the blonde hair. Yikes! Anyway Lisa, Kim and Me. Not sure how we all managed to be wearing black shirts. Scary thing is that night there was like 2 or 3 other people wearing black shirts as well. It was from the partying week for mine and Kim's birthdays since mine is the 15th of November and hers is the 16th.

Okay so you can tell from the drinks that we're all on our way to being buzzed. In the back is me and Sox (avoid the ho if you can). Then upfront if Terry aka Jack, Tim, Nikki and Joe. As for the tiaras and sunglasses...lol the picture was supposed to be part of a shady joke but it didn't work out too well. Instead it's just a funny pic.

What a way to start the picture showing. This is just me and one of my best friends, Josh, um saying hello to each other?? LOL Nah it was just a goof shot. We've got a serious one too but those are never as much fun. This was from when I went to visit him in Philly.

Worship the shamrock...

LOL I don't know if I posted here about the big Miller Lite/MGD Shamrock that Tim and I got from BW3 on Saint Patrick's Day. As with any bar certain promotions stuff is just going to get trashed once it's over and done with. Out of the blue one of our favorite bartenders put the shamrock on the bar in front of me and I was like okay cool and started deflating it. LOL Granted that took a damn long time. Put it this way this shamrock is probably almost 3 foot by 3 foot when it's blown up. I think it's funny as hell when I see it. I've already told Tim it's now a definite for people to have to take a picture with the shamrock. I wish I had thought to take pictures with it when I was dressed up on St.Patty's Day but...yeah I was a little too buzzed to think about that.



Yes that is a picture of the shamrock in question. Not mine but a picture I found online. If I ever post any pictures of the shamrock I got I'm sure either my face will accompany the big goofy thing or Tim will be in the background or someone will be there flashing the cheesy car salesman grin. I mean it only seems fitting when you're standing next to a big 3 foot shamrock.



That's just the other side of the shamrock. I'm so worn out. Last night we hit BW3 as usual. We didn't drink a lot but man it was hitting us hard what we did drink. I mean we only did 2 shots which is low for us. WMMS was there, local radio station for people who don't know. It's always funny to watch adults play musical chairs to win tickets to a concert. When it got down to 2 guys we noticed how when they got near the back of the chair the 2 guys were practically on top of each other. So Tim and I joked that they needed to try and stop the music right around that point to make it more interesting with them fighting to get into the chair. We mentioned it to Seth the Barbarian (hey it's the guy's DJ name...so don't look at me) and the other guy running the music and they loved the idea. So they had us tell them when to stop the music. Tim wanted me to do it but I was like hell no...you do it. The timing was perfect. All I remember is seeing a leg up in the air and the DJs were just laughing. Hey it beats him getting them to hop around trying to get someone to throw up. Oh well I'm off since the whole family is about to go out to an early dinner/late lunch for some birthdays.

Gotta keep track...

From now on when I use a disposable camera I am going to finish that thing a lot sooner. LOL I had a camera that I knew had some pics from my birthday (mind you back in November) and that was all I could remember on the camera. It's now almost April, yikes! Finally I finished the camera and turned it in and yes I hoped the cops weren't going to come in case anything bad was on the camera. Hey with my friends anything is possible. It turned out it also had pics on it from Nikki's birthday which was in December. And some of the pics from my birthday night...what the hell!! Although damn my one brother Mike, if he would have been looking at the camera in the one pic it would have been a really great shot of me, him and Mark (one of my other brothers). Instead it's just a great shot of me and Mark with a slightly sideview of Mike. And talk about scary...but Mark and I look a lot alike despite the almost 10 years in age difference. Then there's some good pics of Josh and Tim and various combos of me, Josh and Tim. Then there's the...um...shall we say drunken model pics??? I usually wear my hair in a ponytail and Tim or someone must have made me take it out. So in one pic I've got his big strand of hair coming down over part of my face/eye and kind of posing for the camera. Then another picture....lol is hair covering half of my face, leaning back and posing again. No clue what was up with that. Then there's the usual cheesy car salesman grin pictures of Tim. Long story behind that...well not long but I'll save it for another day.

Then Tim being slick had the camera on the bar and snapped a sly pic of the one bartender that I like at the bar. LOL Too funny cause I came across the pic and was like what the hell is this since you can see the bar at the bottom of the pic and then barely see people. There's a few cute shots of Nikki and Joe. Those two are almost the perfect couple. You can tell how in love they are just when you look at pics of them because it's always like the perfect picture just about. I'm glad for both of them to have found each other. Then we have the great up close and personal Blazer shots. What are those you ask? Well let's just say put 5 semi-drunk to drunk people into a Blazer (2 door at that) and one camera. Next thing you know Nicky Super (that's what we call her) snapped a close up pic of me and blinded me. Everyone thought it was oohh so funny. So then I had to get them back by snapping a shot of Joe and Tim although Joe blocked most of it. Then I got Nikki and Joe.....ohhh Nikki will smack me for that one. And finally a close up shot of Nicky Super.

Oops almost forgot the yikes pics where I had to go what the hell is that a picture of?? Well one was easy to tell since um...well god blessed me with the twins that I have. LOL Let's just say we have a bad habit of snapping pictures down shirts. Then I had to figure out that one of the other pictures was Tim's chest. He had snapped a picture down the front of his shirt. The other picture...I'm still not totally sure but I think Tim was getting Josh back since last time Josh had a camera there happened to be a lot of ass shots on it. LOL Now you can see why from now on I gotta get those cameras turned in sooner when I still remember what's on there. Oh well...off to find dinner or something to munch on before my stomach starts carrying on a conversation with me. LOL

Saint Patty's Day was a blast....

Okay so 2 hours of sleep has me exhausted to no end. Plus walking around a good deal of downtown Cleveland has me worn out and then the standing for 2 hours to watch the parade doesn't help matters either. LOL BUT the bottom line is I had a damn good time. In fact I ended up hanging out with a lot more friends then I thought I would. The day started out with Kristen, Kim, Rob, Katie, Maria and myself doing the breakfast deal and then hitting up Pick Wick's for a few drinks before the parade. Yummy to 3 absolute and red bulls in probably an hour to maybe an hour and a half. Can we say the start of a nice buzz?? I was rocking out with my semi Dr.Seuss hat, about 6 different green beads and then the green and white feather boa I bought downtown and my green gloves. Kim and Kristen also bought boas. :) Go us! The parade wasn't too bad. Afterwards we hit the Armory where it was like $20 supposed open bar (um yeah if open bar means 2 different types of beer and nothing else...sorry I'm all for supporting the police/firefighters but don't false advertise because we all know open bar to everyone means more than just beer even if it's bottom shelf.) It was a good time...dancing and just being crazy. Added 2 beers to my list of drinks for the day. After a couple hours we left there and hit Paninis for dinner.

Ugh talk about crappy service. I think we were sitting at the table for 5 to 10 minutes before our server finally approached us to even ask what we wanted to drink. Thankfully we knew what we wanted to eat as well so we just did it all at once. Although she pretty much disappeared after that. Another absolute red bull added to the list. After a bit drinks got low and we had to grab some other server and ask if we could order another round of drinks. Next thing we know we have our bill in front of us and still no food. What the hell??? Um...maybe I wanted to drink more after my food. Needless to say that was the smallest tip I ever left anyone. Drink count...add one more absolute red bull. Haha We ate and then went out own ways. Since I was close to BW3 and Tim's house I decided to hit Rockside Tavern where Crystal was. I figured I had time to kill before meeting up with Tim so why not.

I'm glad I went since I got to see Patti, Crystal and Tiffany as well. I spent maybe an hour and a half there or so. Add another 3 absolute and red bulls to the list plus a shot of vodka. Bleh! Not my choice...Crystal bought a round and that was her drink of choice. It was a crazy time....people dancing on the bar. Not me. More pictures taken. Rockside is basically your little corner pub/bar. It's kind of a dive bar but it's one of those bars that's more like a house turned into a bar that some cities have (like Euclid does). But I had a really good time there and the fun of the day was continuing.

Next hit BW3 with Tim...no red bull there so kick me over to Smirnoff. LOL Between Tim ordering me one and the bartenders there (ME, Dan, and Katie) knowing us so well...I can't tell you how many Smirnoffs can be added to the total of my drinking list which would end at about 2...so about 12:30 or so till 2. But I'd say it's at least 5 to 6...if not 1 or 2 more on that. We also did some cherry bombs and jager bombs. Count total on those?? Umm...5....6....LOL...hell if I know. I just know I did like 3 or 4 with Tim and then I did another 2 after that with Bill and Mike. More pictures taken. Dan took this big ass blow-up shamrock down and gave it to me...so that was funny. It'll be funny to see that later and remember where it's from. Aww...our fun old BW3. And yes I checked green beer off my list at BW3...so one more drink on the total. So what was my drink total?? Let's see....we'll just add shots in with drinks and it should be about 20 to 24 drinks. What did that get me this morning when I rolled out of bed to go to work? A hangover? Nah...it actually got me going to work drunk as I almost fell and was stumbling a bit. LMAO!

Now tomorrow I just need to drop off the cameras that I took pictures with and see how they turned out. Like I said I took pictures when we were downtown, then at Rockside and then at BW3 so there's some pictures of me with pretty much everyone. I think there's some cool shots. Plus I can't wait to see some of the pictures that other people took. I definitely got a new tradition to add to my life. LOL

Bring on Saint Patrick's Day!!

I'm so ready for tomorrow! I have the day off and I'm heading downtown with a bunch of friends to party, drink and watch the annual Saint Patrick's Day parade. I believe it's the 138th if I remember correctly and actually the first one I'll be seeing in person. I'm pysched for it. It may not be Mardi Gras but it's slightly on that level for partying. I'm going to go all out for it or to some extent. If my hair was still blonde I would have dyed it green but with it being brown now...that would make it a little harder to pull off the green so instead I've got a nice leprechaun hat but it's almost Dr.Seuss style. :) LOL! Then I've got a set of beads with 4 huge 4-leaf clovers and then another set of beads that's just green beads with a little beer mug with four leaf clovers on it. LOL Then I've got these body jewelry things that I'm going to put on as well. I figure one on each cheek. No, not those cheeks you freaks! But our plan is wake up slightly early...but not too early. All get together and go out for breakfast and start the insanity. Then head downtown and hit a bar for a little bit. Then afterwards check out the parade. Once that's marked off our to do list then we'll head to another bar for some more drinking of green beer and good times. Although talks are right now for us to hit a place where $20 drink all you want. Not too shabby especially for a holiday downtown so we'll see how that goes. I just think it'll be a good time regardless of where we go. No clue when we'll all wind down. I'll probably be one of the first to head out so I can kind of take a breather because I know Tim will want to go out and party later and my friend Jen won't be coming out till later either so I'll have to get my 2nd wind in order to party with them. But let's get it on and have some fun!!! I am soooo ready for this. Should be a good time.

No more drama...

I really can't take anymore drama. I swear since around my birthday last year till now everytime I turn around there's been a bit of drama coming my way. Some of it hasn't been bad and some of it has been just on my end. Like when I was more into a certain guy then he was and unfortunately had to find out the hard way. I mean come on...it's never fun when you hook up sexually with someone on the Saturday before your birthday, which was some time in November, and then you find out a few days later he flew south to meet some girl he had been talking to online and from what you know they hooked up with that girl as well. But hey that's life. It just caught me off guard at that time but I'm over it. I think it only bugged me because it caught me off guard. I think if he had told me more things upfront I would have been like okay, but it almost seemed like he was playing me at times and I can't stand that. Things are working out well for him and I've realized that I'm really not into him the way I thought I was. There's a lot about him that isn't me or what I want in someone. We'd make better friends then anything else, even if we did have some interesting hook up times. Although I still can't completely understand why he was so into wanting to go check out a gay club with me and my friends. LOL But I'm sure he had his reasons for being curious to see what the club was like. I mean the clubs are pretty interesting and definitely will make you go okay then by the time you leave. LOL A definite eye opener when you step into a gay club if you've never been. I normally only go because of my friend being gay and I feel it's only fair since Tim always goes with me to straight clubs/bars.

So let's see I've kind of already updated on one of my friends and that would be...well the name's not too important since he doesn't seem to like to keep in touch, so not sure if that means we're still friends or what. Tim is doing pretty good minus the times we have gotten into fights lately which is where the drama comes into play. I don't know if it's just part of us getting to know each other's boundaries or what but I can't take much more in the fights. I hate confrontations and most of ours have been stupid. Usually (in my opinion) it seems to be him pissed at me and I'm having to almost defend myself and then I get pissed because he's mad at me and that's what causes most of the problem. I'm sure getting through all of these issues will help make our friendship stronger. That's what happened with me and Josh. Josh...haha...he's still the same old freak. I'd love to go back and visit him in Philly again but I don't see that happening this year. Not with me trying to save up for my trip to Las Vegas and possibly the trip to Wisconsin the month before. I just won't have the money for another trip. Maybe next year I can go visit him again, but not in January...because damn it was colder there than in Ohio!!! And that's sad! And yes Josh...we'll hit the strip club again because that was kind of fun with guys offering me money to give them lapdances! LOL Plus I helped out some of the workers because guys tipped them more just because I got a shot from the shot girl (to explain she basically climbs on your lap to pour the shot into your mouth and the guy enjoyed the view so he tipped her for being able to watch). Plus after watching the latest Real World...damn there are some clubs we gotta hit in that city! Nikki and Joe have been kind of quiet...haven't seen them much because they've been busy. Which sucks because I love hanging out with them. Nikki's my girl and cool as hell and Joe's my boy. Joe in some ways is the male version of me. By that I mean that I understand how he is in a lot of situations because I'd be the same way. Hopefully I'll get to hang with them soon. Some of my other friends are basically MIA like Crystal and Patti. I've sent them emails and haven't heard a word back and called them and nothing so who knows. They're probably caught up in their own drama. Oh well time to start figuring out what I'm going to be up to tonight.
