Bronx Zoo and Harry Potter
I went to the zoo with William (my co-worker Cathie's grandson) and he is so cute! Here are some fun pics of me and the little devil.
William and Cathie
Turtle!
William pointing at a sheep.
Pigeons are as much fun as the other animals at the zoo!
This little guinea pig almost got its neck snapped...that's why William looks like a deer in the headlights.
How cute is he?
This is when we went on the sky cars and he loved them! Cathie didn't want us to move around too much:)
He fell asleep on the walk back to the car...
I got him this little stuffie called a Red Panda and he was giving it kisses...I love him!On the Harry Potter front, I finished it on Sunday night and sobbed two times. Once when Dobby died (Here lies Dobby, a Free Elf) and when he summoned the spirits of James, Lily, Sirius and Lupin. Talk to you later!
Tubby <3
His name is Tubby!!! I LOVE HIM!
Give him a kiss from me.
I will post more tonight esp. pics from the Bronx Zoo!

Now Presenting...Internet in Rhode Island!
Were you invited to the going away party for Jen Mihok? I am going.
So anywho, I am in RI and its exciting to have internet so I don't feel so cutoff from the rest of the world.
My family and I watched "Breach" again last night and it was just as awesome the second time.
My other cousin, who is only 1 year older than me, is getting married in August. I am not going to the wedding because of Jen's party but my parents said that everyone will understand. We only just found out about the wedding this week anyway bc my dad doesn't talk to his sister often.
Defensive driving was as awesome as expected :( but I actually learned a lot and there is an excerpt that I wanted to send to you:
"Remember--driving is not a win or lose situation. The only winners are those drivers who reach their destination safely." HA!
Ugh...Transformers is on the cover of EW this week.

Kites and Books
It sounds like you had an awesome time. And fyi, you kite is so cute! I just hung out for most of the day today so I actually watched a bunch of movies and updated my blog. My parents still aren't home and I actually have to start cleaning up so that everything looks acceptable when they get home. (Not that anything is too bad, just making the bed and putting dishes away.) Hope you are enjoying you last week of freedom :) I finished all of the HP books which was awesome, there are just a few questions I have that I want to look into and then I have to decide if I want to fill out that survey at the Leaky Cauldron. I think that I might, but it is time consuming so I don't know when I will find the time. I am about 1/3 of the way through the 6th James Patterson book that is in the Women's Murder Club Series which are very entertaining. Is tomorrow night a good time to call? I will try to give you a call around 9:30 but if I forget you can call me at like 10. (Don't worry my parents don't go to bed that early.) Talk to you tomorrow!

Long time no blog... now with pictures!
Hey there!
Sorry to hear about your health issues, but at least you are getting things sorted out. That's really good to hear about Beth though. =)
Yeah it's weird to have the 4th of July in the middle of the week. It's my grandpa's (on my mom's side) 80th birthday so we are having a party at my aunt Mary's house. It should be really fun. I hope it warms up though because the last couple of days haven't felt too summery here.

I haven't watched hell's kitchen from last night yet so I didn't read that part of your post, but yeah I've been reading the recaplets on TWoP. I'll probably watch it later tonight. I can't believe someone is letting them cater their wedding. I would never go on a show without watching previous seasons. Like last week that lady came up to the counter to complain and was whining that Chef Ramsay was rude to her. Seriously, did she know where she was?
I had a good time at the beach. It was relaxing and I got a lot of reading done. I finished Order of the Phoenix plus two other books! We went to the beach a lot of course. We also went to the boardwalk and played mini golf and stuff like that. Amy and I each got a new kite. Mine has a zebra on it. Probably my favorite thing that we did was when we rented a pontoon boat for the afternoon. I got to drive it a little, but I mostly just like to sit in the front and enjoy the breeze and the occasional splash. I love boats. I should definitely get one some day. Here are some vacation pictures:
Anyway, I'm SO excited for Harry Potter -- the movie and the book, but mostly the book. I'll be at B&N to get it at midnight, assuming I'm still awake after getting up at 4am =)
Talk to you soon!

I still don't have a job besides the Joann's thing. It's very stressful because I'm sick of thinking about it and worrying about it. I called about that school job yesterday and they said they weren't interviewing people yet. I hope I get called. It seems like people tend to be biased against me because I look too young. I think I'd be good at whatever job I had, I just have to figure out how to convey that to others.

Points, Weddings and Ducks
Hey Loser,
So last week I finally finished my class (yay). But seriously, I wanted to hurt someone bc of how stupid this teacher is…when you ask her how much something is worth on the test she says, “14 points for each short answer…unless I decide to give you more.” WTF! The who point of a points system is that everything is worth a certain amount! This “flexible grading” was seriously the bane of my existence over the last few weeks. Case in point: I got a 120 on the second midterm, another girl got a 136…both of us got a B+. Yea that makes sense…or not. She couldn’t even say how much the test was worth bc of course the set number of points was not exactly known by anyone except her and her warped perception of math and percentages. I mean I got a better grade than I would have because of this system, but still I am not sure that it was worth the stress.
On a happier note, Beth got engaged! I am so excited for her and her fiancée Mike. This weekend we were all in RI and I gave them a bottle of champagne and The Wedding Crashers as an engagement gift. I thought that that was cute. I am just so happy that things are finally going well for her and that she gets to start on this new chapter of her life. They already live together in NJ (yuck) in a two family home with his grandparents. She also recently (within the last 6 months) got a job with Jonathan Adler. Who apparently is this really famous potter. http://www.jonathanadler.com/shop/index.php So everything is going really well for her and Mike and he is such a great guy.
My parents are going to RI tonight just for the day tomorrow (crazy) so I will be along on the 4th which I can’t decide if it’s a good thing or a bad thing. How much does it suck that July 4th is on a Wednesday? I mean this is just like the worst day that it could be.
Hell’s Kitchen? OMG I can’t believe how bitchy Melissa got…and crazy. (Did you see that hair?) I felt so bad for the bride and groom but I was so glad that they actually served everyone. When Jen had to say, “This is a duck breast,” it was probably the saddest thing that I have ever seen. I really wanted to pick Melissa, but I didn't think that she would be bad enough to get sent home. I was wrong. Also, did you notice that TWoP does a recaplet for HK?
On a health note I had a flexible spectroscopy on Friday…which is kinda like a half of a colonoscopy to finally figure out what was wrong. It was so gross the night before you have to drink this stuff and basically you crap until there is nothing left and then I had to do 2 enemas in the morning (eww) to which my mother said, “Did you have to drink them?” So that was an awful few days of prep for the test bc you could also only eat like chicken broth, jello, Italian ice, and hard candies. The test really was uncomfortable bc they put the thing in and then they pump a lot of air in and start scoping. When they go around the curve in the intestines it hurts and the nurse had to push on my stomach so that the pressure would be somewhat relieved. They were also like, “If you feel the need to pass gas just let it go.” To which I was thinking, “Yea I am really gonna be able to pass gas which a huge scope up my ass. Seriously. Finally it was just too uncomforatble so he had to stop. I only have hemorrhoids which I will have to have surgery to remove if the bleeding gets too serious. So at least I know what it is now.
Last night I cooked this pretzel-crusted chicken, which was AMAZING. I got it off of the Rachel Ray 30-Minute Meals show. It tasted so good and then I made some strawberry shortcake for dessert.
I have also been watching all these new shows. (which btw I realized that the shows at the end of the list that I made on the blog said June but are actually July bc they should be in order of premiere.) Leslye and I are watching Kyle XY which is actually really good and I thought that it wouldn’t be. I also caught the premiere of Burn Notice which is really good. Don’t turn it off after the first 10 minutes. That was a major problem and I am worried that it will get cancelled bc it really doesn’t grab the audience in the first few minutes. I haven’t watched the end of The Starter Wife yet but I really like that show and I hope that they turn the mini-series into something more.
Well, I am at work right now and swamped (or not) so I will talk to you later!
TTFN!
