Poop Day

Here's why:

1. I got a f'ing ticket from a Statie in VA driving 77 in a 55. That makes it reckless driving so I didn't actually get a ticket, I got a court summons. I thought I'd just plead guilty and pay the fine instead of doing that but since I know someone who had to pay 360 for doing that, maybe not a good idea. Instead I got info from a very reliable source (thanks East Middy) that said if I go to court they're likely to send me to driving school and make me pay the court fee, which is significantly less than the fine and it also throws the ticket out. I'm down with that naturally. I found a VA approved online driving course that I'm going to take and then take the quiz in person at a library and so when I go see the judge I'll say lookie lookie judgie poo, Alyssa is so high speed :) And then he'll say, damn ok no ticket for you-hoo, just give me some money for a court fee. And I will. The end.

2. If anyone has any information about how to find out if the airport is letting people take pets on the plane or not because of high temps, please let me know. I spend a good 1.5 hours on the phone today with the airport and two airlines, only to get the run around at every single place. No one could help, and instead of trying they just kept sending me to the next person. Anyway, I have decided to just show up really early and if they say they can't take the cats then I'll first throw a temper tantrum (which should make T want to punch me) and then I'll have to take the cats back to my apt and then run back to the airport for the flight. I am going to get some soft kennels so they can maybe come in the cabin with us, that might work too. Either way I think I've got it covered pretty well...

I guess that's about it. Doesn't seem so bad when you lay it out. I ended up taking about a 4 hour nap today which was amazing. I feel great now. I'm sure I won't be saying that at 1 am when I can't get to sleep and I have to be at work at 7:30. Good news though, when I go in at 7:30 I will only be there for about a half an hour and then I'm done til Monday in Maryland.

Time to go pack and do laundry for the weekend. Once again, I will be home in Mass from Th-Sun. Saturday night we're going to Pulse so everyone that wants to go should come :) Call the cell.

Virginia is for lovers

Yes, yes it is. I want that shirt, except anyone who knows me, knows I absoultely detest that word. It ranks up there with partner or life partner. Let me use it in a real example:
" Your father and I just worry. We really want you to settle down and find a nice life partner."
-my mom to about two years ago
BARF. I really wish she wouldn't refer to it as that. I digress...
I want a shirt that says that. I think I can even overlook the fact that it says lovers on it... (i'm still gagging)

So I got the new Harry Potter book yesterday from T. That's probably one of the best presents ever because I love Harry Potter, and I'm too cheap to buy the hardcover. :) I'm lucky, so lucky. Can't wait to start reading it, but I know that once I do, I won't put it down. I'm going to hole myself up for the 4 hours it's going to take to read it...

This weekend T and I are going to DC. Well just for Saturday really... but still exciting NONETHELESS. That's because we're going to the spy museum (awesome), the Holocaust museum (awesome), and DuPont circle to shop (really awesome). Then, Saturday night is Babe's, which if you remember is where I get to play drunk volleyball in the sand pit AT the bar. That's seriously the best idea for a bar. Totally excited about my weekend of fun :).

Next Sunday I'm going to MD to start my Phase II of the Captains Course. I guess that's good because I'm definitely ready to be done with Phase I. I managed to get an A on everything so far. Too bad the three biggest assignements are due between today and Tuesday. We'll see though. I'm sure my inner genious will come out. Riiight. Can't wait to be close to Baltimore again though, that's a good time if you get the chance. Well, some parts are pretty ghetto, but for the most part I think it's pretty nice. Camden Yards is sexy too. Hmm, wonder if the Sox are playing the O's there? Better go check that as soon as I get off this blog.

Ok, time to go. I can't stop thinking about the Red Sox... addicted...

boring blogs

I feel like lately I have nothing to blog about. And it's not even for a lack of interesting things going on in my life... I just don't think my blog should be like a diary where I spout out all the stuff I did that day. I like to put little snipets of funny things in here and I don't know why, but every time I sit down to blog I think of a big fat nothing. :(
I have bloggers block.
Here's some good news... the Sox are back in first place. And today they scored 6 runs in the first inning and TB had to retire their starter before the inning was even over. That makes me happy.
Oh wait... hey everyone in RI, I'm coming home for the last weekend in July and I'm bringing T with me... :) Be excited, we're going out...
Hopefully the next blog will be better...

another week...

It's Monday, time for another week to get going. I had class all day today and I can't count the number of times I almost fell asleep. Were it not for the fact that I'd feel horrible for disrespecting my instructor like that, I probably would have been passed out and snoring.
I had another relaxing weekend in my favorite place. This time I went fishing for 4 hours on Saturday. Guess what I caught? Nope, not a fish...just a nice little burn. I played tennis on Sunday too, which I expected to be a bad experience because I don't play tennis as a general rule. I've played once in high school, and if any of the girls from BVA remember my skills, they'll remember I had none. I didn't want T to think I can't play tennis, because I have to be the best at everything (of course). Luckily I didn't suck half as badly as I should have and so I think I might have saved a little face. The fact of the matter still remains that she's probably better at me in 94% of all sports played. The exception there is ballet and Karate. Fuck you for saying ballet isn't a sport, dicky. (cuz i know everyone reading that just said it wasn't)
Anyway, that's about it for my weekend. Getting repetive but I'm not complaining in the least. My time in VA has been great and I'll be sad to see it go...

Small Talk

In response to Seany's question about passing the tape test... the answer is yes. I passed. I did have to get taped ;) Or not... For those of you non-military types he was asking if I met the height/weight standard for the army. Um, I think I might be underweight according to their standards, but never over. If you don't pass height/weight you get tape tested to see your body fat percentage, and if it's under a certain percent than you pass the standard. So no Seany, you dicky, I didn't have to get taped.
I had another fantastic weekend in Farmville, Virginia with T... I think I'm in love with that town. It's so adorable. Just picture a typical, sleepy, Virginian town where everyone knows everyone else and there's a little downtown Main Street. I even went to church on Sunday morning, with a skirt on, and then had a nice Sunday lunch with the Bridge trio. Then it was nap time :), then running, then playing with the kids, then tv, then finally bed. Ahhhh, like a little vacation every weekend. :) So happy...

PT Test

HAHAHAHA I finally, FINALLY, did well on a PT test. I got a 297 out of 300. And the best part is, my run was under 16 minutes. I've never run that fast in my life. The only time I've come close was at advanced camp after my junior year of college. That's forever and a day ago. I think running might not suck so hard after that run...
I'm so diesel, I should think about joining that ironwoman competition. riiiight...

Independence Weekend

What did I do this weekend? Rugby, rugby, and more rugby. Two full days of it this time, and two nights in a hotel room with the team. Good times... I'll spare you all the details since they're pretty similar to last weekend.
I have a roman candle and 4 cherry bombs sitting in the back of my car right now, compliments of Theresa's brother. He rocks for giving those up, but I didn't get to shoot them off... maybe next weekend.
I know I had a funny quote from yesterday and I can't think of it... oh wait, yeah I can but since it sounds kinda racist I won't say it. It wasn't meant to be but some people are feisty and stupid about that stuff so I won't repeat it. I did hear someone's mom say "I was known for travelling with balls" and a dad say "I have balls in my trunk." All this talk about balls is making me feel bouncy so I'm outtie.
jam out with your clam out, ladies... hahaha, that's the new phrase so start using it :)
