Happy birthday to my house! :) A year ago yesterday, we signed on our place. In the past year we've almost completely furnished it (still need end tables and a coffee table, but that might have to wait awhile), pained the living room, replaced the dishwasher, and got two brand-spanking-new windows. So yeah, not a whole lot. :) We still need to repaint the basboard heat in the living room since the stupid window people painted it the same color as the walls. In a perfect world we would also rip out the kitchen and the bathroom and try again because they are so hideous - but until we win the lottery, that probably will not happen. Then again we'll be here for at least 2 years and 2 months (I refuse to move until I am out of school. I am not doing that again!). I actually don't even want to start looking for a new place until I am done with school, so it's not something I have to think about for a while.
On a completely unrelated note - why can't we turn Iran into a parking lot? Seriously, once we (and by "we" I do actually mean the "UK") flatten them, who cares what kind of nukes they have or don't have. They will all be dead. Oh, and once we do that, we'll really have to take out all of the Muslim countries because once Muslims go radical, they get some sort of Hitler-level crazy. So just make them all go away.... good-bye! Of course I'm kidding.... I'm not proposing some sort of WWIII - but wouldn't it be nice if God were to send some sort of plague to wipe them away because they have been bad? hmmm? Maybe a more vengeful Old Testament God come back to kick a little radical militant ass?

I'm getting annoyed...
What is up with people trying to label me? Today someone told me I was preppy, and they didn't mean it is a compliment. You know what? I am preppy, and I don't care. You can wear your ridiculous skinny jeans that make your ankles look terrible with your hot pink ballet flats and your blue and white striped shirt (my god, did anyone else notice Heidi and Lauren were wearing the SAME freaking outfit the entire episode of The Hills this week? Enough with the blue striped shirt!) and look seriously stupid. Go for it. I'll wear my boot cut jeans with a polo shirt and look like a normal human being. Yeah, I have a nice string of pearls. I also have nice diamond studs. Bully for me. If that makes me preppy, fan-fucking-tastic.
So to everyone who tries to put a label on me and fails miserably, here you go. This is who I am.
I come from generations and generations of Irish (who have been recently linked genetically to the English...hmmm....) so there was no way in hell I was going to escape the short and stubby gene. And yeah, I'm 5'2" and I'm shaped like a pear. I'm starting to accept this. I can't change my ancestors, nor can I wear "trendy" shirts without showing people a muffin top.
I have a terrible temper which I try very hard to control, but sometimes I can't. And when I ask you to leave me alone, it's probably best if you actually leave me alone, since that's usually me acknowledge my temper is going to get the best of me.
I give people as many second chances as they want, with exactly two exceptions. Giving people so many chances might not be the best idea, but I can't help it. 99% of the time, I keep doing it. And the two exceptions were given a lot of "second" chances, but even I have my limits. Moral of the story? I don't give up on people, even if they probably deserve it.
I love having a lot of friends, but I don't like big groups. In fact, if I am ever in a big group, I will usually find a corner somewhere and just watch what's going on around me. I just don't like them, never have, and never will. I'm constantly amazed when this still surprises even people I've know for a long time. And just because I am in a corner watching what's going on, doesn't mean I'm not enjoying myself. That's how I enjoy myself in a big group.
I've been painfully shy my entire life. It's been almost 26 years and I'm still extremely shy around people I don't know or don't know well. I've made it to the point where I can make awkward small talk with strangers and that's as good as it's going to get. If you think I'm a snob because I don't talk your ear off the first time I meet you, then that's your loss. You shouldn't judge people like that.
I don't like network reality TV.
I don't automatically love children. I think some children are annoying. I like my cousins. I like my friends' children. I don't like random children in stores/movies/restuarants. I don't think that makes me a bad person. I also don't like it when people tell me it's because I haven't been around children. Believe me, I have. I babysat all the way through high school. I taught kids how to skate and I taught them how to sail. I grew up in a neighborhood with lots of younger kids. I just don't think they are all cute. Some of them should be smacked upside the head, although I will admit you probably shouldn't hit kids just because they aren't cute :)
I think that when a girl says she doesn't like other girls and gets along with guys better, that usually means she is a bitch who cannot be trusted.
I didn't love high school. I did love college. I have done a piss poor job of keeping in touch with people from high school, but that doesn't bother me. The ones I still talk to are enough. I'm trying as hard as I can to keep in touch with college friends and I think I am doing a pretty good job.
I think I was clinically depressed my freshman year of high school, or close to it.
I don't want a career. I go to grad school only because I want to make more money. I don't really care about career advancement. But I also have a 3.75 GPA at a top 50 MBA program, which I pretty much kill myself to keep up.
I know how to sail, I belong to a yacht club, I know what "address the ship" means, I automatically stand up at sunset, my entire family works very hard so we can sit at the corner table at FYC 8 weekends a year and watch the harbor while sipping G&T's.
I really like ice cold Coors Light. Even more when I'm with a group of friends at a chill, relaxed bar.
My husband is the only person who can make me laugh every day.

Oh the weather outside is frightful...
So the title of today's blog comes from a song that is today a popular Christmas carol, but it really shouldn't be a Christmas Carol anymore. It doesn't snow in December now, and the weather is hardly frightful. Fast forward to March, however, and it is a different story. Maybe someone should record the song in an Irish brogue and re-sell it as a St. Patrick's Day song. Everyone knows the old adage, which I believe is from Mark Twain, if I am not mistaken, "If you don't like the weather in New England, wait 5 minutes". So damn true. It was 70 degrees two days ago. Today we are getting slammed by snow. It doesn't make any sense, but mix New England's unstable weather pattern with a powerful El Nino which is being fueled by global warming, and you have this year's ridiculus winter.
This is the view from our front window - notice that you can't clearly make out the building across the street. That is not due to a camera issue. This is because we currently have white out conditions. Notice the street isn't plowed either. I don't know why, it's not like we have used all our plow money this year, but apparently the town of Canton SUCKS at plowing. I saw a bunch of cars that got stuck on my way home.
This is my car, taken from our balcony (which is why you can see all the snow spots from the lense getting wet). I point out my car for a few reasons. One - just pointing out that our management company has not yet plowed our driveway even though it has been snowing for almost 6 hours. Two - my poor little car just sat in traffic for over an hour to go 19 miles. :( It wasn't so happy about that trip. Normally it takes anywhere from 10-15 minutes with traffic. So that drive home sucked ass. I don't understand why we can't work from home on days like this, but we can't
This is the snow on our deck. Those of you who have been to Casa de O-G know that our deck is high up and covered. It's not easy for snow to accumulated on it. Yet there is a good couple of inches in mini-drifts in all 4 corners. Yeah, it's been snowing sideways for a while (hence the white out conditions!
So the good news is we are only supposed to get about 10 inches and then it is going to turn to rain and rain for another 10 hours... which will cause flooding, but I personally don't have to worry about flooding. So by noon tomorrow there should be no percipitation falling from the sky! Until then, stay warm and dry!

So college was over almost 4 years ago. I love my life now, but there's just something about the college lifestyle that's incredible, and brings back great memories. Anyway, I found this, and some of them just brought me back. I've added some of my own commentary. Enjoy a little slice of nostalgia

Daddy's got a new .45
Life never seems to slow down. I always think it will, but it doesn't. This is the first Saturday we've been home in months. And the only reason why we are not skiing today is because we finally needed to do our taxes, I needed two new tires for my car, and I need to study for a statistics midterm I have on Tuesday. I suppose being busy means we aren't bored, but I can't say I didn't love this morning sleeping in, going to the gym around 10:30 and then getting stuff done at our own pace. I wish I could have more days like that. But I guess if I had a slower paced life I wouldn't really appreciate the days I do get to not do much. Not that studying for an entire afternoon constitutes doing nothing, or that I don't absolutely love skiing all day... but it was a slower pace. It was enjoyable. :) Tomorrow is St Patrick's day in Quincy. Always a good time. I love corned beef. Love it! And Irish bread. mmmm.... sooo yummy.

He went to Paris

What, you ask, do the two have to do with each other? Well, Andrew and I were about to be defeated TWICE for JB tickets. We tried in a pre-sale and we tried during the regular sale. It just wasn't happening. I was seriously just about to give up.... when Katie emailed me and said she got 4 tickets!!! We actually she said she and Colin got tickets and then if you scrolled down like 20 lines she mentioned she got 4 tickets. Isn't she funny. But anyway, thanks to Katie I will attend my 15th or 16th JB show this September. I have lost count of how many shows I have actually been to. This one will be my third JB concert that isn't at Great Woods. I saw him at the Garden (or whatever the Garden was called my junior year of high school). That one was awesome, we were 17th row, center. I also saw him at Fenway - the 2nd concert ever at Fenway. And he reversed the curse himself at the show, so that was cool. This September will be at Gillette. Kinda cool that there are more seats there so more people can see him, but also kinda sucky because there is something SO cool about JB at Great Woods. Mainly because he still calls it Great Woods. :) Tailgating starts at 3 at Gillette while at Great Woods it starts around noon. But what are you going to do, it will be still be so much fun. I will have a shark on my car. I will do it. And maybe a Parrot. And the windows will say HONK FOR BUFFETT and MARGARITAVILLE OR BUST. Katie and Colin, if you are reading this - get ready. I've done the whole pimp-out-the-car thing once before and it's awesome. My brother was handed a beer in through the window in the parking lot... yeah, um he was driving and about 17.... these are parrotheads for you!! - (no he didn't drink it!)
