Duran Duran
I know I should be working right now, but I find myself unable to take "Hungry Like the Wolf" off repeat and get on with my day....

PS- What is your favorite 80s song?

Wintery Mix
Wintery Mix - digging your car out of the snow, driving to work in an ice storm, and arriving just in time to walk in in the rain.

My Next Vacation
Working at my current temp. job I go through a lot of different company listings from all over the country every day, and every once in a while something catches my eye..
I now have a strange obsession with going on vacation to Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Why? Because I want a t-shirt that says "I went to Sheboygan, WI" and I think that's reason enough.
Back to work.

Shocking
Apparently real jobs are nothing like "The Office."

Still Settling In
Sorry again that I haven't been blogging, but it's been so hard getting everything moved in! I'll try to keep everyone updated on what's going on, though.
Anyway, as of now we have all of our big things set up, but lots of stuff still scattered all over the place. Brent and I are right now taking a little break from moving in to watch The Truman Show, which means I'll spend the next week or so fighting my various conspiracy theories.
All right, back to the movie.

Moving
So Brent and I are officially moved in! Well, mostly at least. We've spent the last two nights in our awesome new apartment, but are still working on getting everything in order. Sorry for the delay in posting, but the cable/internet guy just came today. Right now Brent is playing Wii Fit and I'm sitting on the couch watching and eating ice cream (hmm seems like a New Years Resolution may be in order...)
Anyway, I've hardly had time to do anything but move and clean lately, but I'll keep you all updated on what's going on with the new apartment!

Bunny Maze
For Christmas, I got Winston and George their very own two-story Bunny Maze! They absolutely loved it, and so did the cat, who trapped them in it and played her own version of Whack-A-Mole as she sat on top bopping the bunnies on the head every time they tried to peek out.
Here are some pictures:
Winston, George, and Shadow:
Shadow keeping watch on her prisoners:
George and his chins:
Disapproving of everything:

More Christmas Prep.
Ok ok... I'm already doing a terrible job of my New Year's resolution of keeping up with my blog, but it's not my fault! I've been really sick and I also just got an apartment that I'm slowly moving into with Brent. It's been a busy year so far! Anyway, I'm so sick of back-entries, so I'm going to try to post a bunch of labeled pictures and get this over with.
Dinner at the yacht club, all lit up in red for Christmas:
Another beautiful sunset:
At Tiernan's with friends... Kristina and Jason:
Me, Hayley, and Molly
Brent came to visit for a couple days and we made Christmas cookies together:
Yum!
Cutest dog ever:
Cutest cat ever:
Christmas decorations at The Ginger Man, one of my favorite restaurants:
Nicole shoveling in the recent snowstorm:
At Jessica's new house in Greenwich for a Christmas party... Dad, Jessica, and Grandma:
Jessica loves crew and rowing, so for a Christmas tree she had this oar:
An early Christmas dinner at The Ginger Man with Brent:
Willy Wonka Christmas window on Greenwich Ave.:
Shadow visiting for Christmas:
Frisky having none of it:
I made some miniature Christmas cookies right before Christmas. These were supposed to be angels, but they came out looking much more like the ghosts from Pac-Man:
"Angels" and Christmas lights:
Christmas ghosts all packed up:
Ok, well I'm a little bit closer to being caught up now. I promise to do a better job on my entries that are coming up!

Happy New Year
Happy New Year everyone! Sorry I haven't been around, but as you know from my last entry, I've been really sick. Now that I'm back to my usual self and keeping all my guts on the inside, I have a few New Years reminders for everyone.
For those of you who haven't picked a New Year's resolution yet, here's one for you. Click HERE every day to help shelter animals for free. I have the link on the side-bar of my blog and it's there every day so if you can spare one click and three seconds of your day, you can help homeless animals who need to eat.
Another important message for the new year - have you ordered your Stuff On My Cat calendar starring Frisky from The Blonde Excuse yet? If not, get one at Amazon by clicking on the image below:
Next up on my list of New Year's news... Brent and I just got an apartment! Officially, as of today, we are tenants of our brand new apartment here in Greenwich, CT. We started moving some of our things in today and are so excited to set everything up and decorate. As of right now, I'd say our decorating style could best be described as Mom and Dad's attic and basement, but we'll see how it develops.
Last but not least, one of my New Years resolutions this year is to catch up and keep up with The Blonde Excuse! I've just had so many computer problems and random illnesses these past few months.... Anyway, I hope you all had a fantastic New Year's Eve last night and I'll be back soon with pictures!
