I love her! I love her! I love her!



So my little kitten is so cute. I just love her to death! We went and got her on Friday and I am obsessed with her, Literally. So this weekend we did our Fantasy Football draft. We have 12 teams on the league. In my opinion thats too many! I need to get on another league, I am not too happy with this one. If anyone wants to invite me into their league then I might just take you up on the offer :) Im still waiting to find out if I got the tickets for the opening game, Jets vs Patriots. That is going to be one awesome game! However if we lose, I will be one unhappy camper. Ok well I am at work right now, I should probably go....

Consider me informed

So I understand that I have not blogged in what seems like forever. Give me a break, I have been busy. As everyone knows Michele did come to Boston to chill with me. The results 5 crazy, crazy nights! We met Italians, and Sweeds that were beyond adorable and fun to boot. She made a new best friend Timmy, and we had lots of laughs. Of course there are a lot of incriminating photos. Expect those in the near future..... hopefully tomorrow. So many of you know that Rudy and I have decided to get a kitten. Originally it was going to be a puppy. I have been pressing him to get me a puppy, and he finally agreed that is was a possibility. The only thing is, we will be keeping it at his house, and we both work. So I would have to go home every day and let her out and play with her. I thought about it long and hard and suggested that maybe a kitten was the best bet for now, you know before I quit my job and start letting him support me :) Rudy that was not a joke :) Anyways, so we talked about it last week, and have been looking. We found one that we are going to look at tonight. If she is friendly and likes me we are going to get her. I attached the picture. We have a choice between the two. I like the seal mitted. Thats the one looking at the camera. We are going to name her Mandy, after the love of my life, Mandy Moore. I am so excited!!! Leave me comments to tell me how cute you think she is. I will blog tomorrow and let you know if we got her.

What is she doing in Boston....

So I thought I should blog about what exactly I am doing in Boston. If I really just left the details out this blog would end here. Truth is, I am doing nothing. I dont really feel like going out and drinking or hanging out late at night. I really just feel like being home or going shopping, or sitting out by the water. I guess it has to do with me being kinda depressed. I miss my buddy. So I guess thats kinda my problem :) Plus the men around here are really ridiculous. I am so over being hit on by random men that think they would ever have a chance. I know that sounds rude, but I went out with Nikki on Friday and it was ridiculous how many guys were trying to talk to us, or checking us out. It kinda got to the point that I was just really annoyed. Plus some guy grabbed me and was trying to pull me towards him in the street. So I gave him this NASTY look and grabbed my hand back and he started yelling at me. I kinda yelled back but not really towards him as much as towards Nikki. We did end up finding a good group of guys to hang out with. The only guys in the place out to have a fun time, and not pick us up. Its amazing how fast you spot the difference. So I thought that since some guys probably read this I would give you some pick up tips. How to get a girls attention the RIGHT way......

1. Dont approach a girl and ask her to dance unless she gives you the invite. I got this one from Bob and will say I criticized him for it. I will say it once, but.... Bob you were right. So why is this important? Well dancing is a somewhat intimate thing. If a girl doesn't show any interest in you TRUST me, she has no interest in wanting to be close to you to dance. Plus after the 20th guy asking her to dance, she is really annoyed and will probably at that point will just say no to anyone . So wait it out. If you notice her looking at you then you can consider the approach.

2. Know the difference between looking and looking. So this goes along with the other one. If you are staring and a girl and catch her looking back, consider the fact you have been staring too long and she has at this point probably discerned that. She could be trying to keep an eye on you hoping that you keep your creepy distance.

3. Sure signs she is LOOKING. If a girl is interested she WILL catch your eye, meaning she will make eye contact and hold it for at least 2 seconds. If a girl does this she is giving you the go ahead. Look to see if there is any sign of a smile is involved this is a definite plus, keeping in mind tip number 2. Girls also try the "area approach" Where they spot you out and try to migrate to your general area. Maybe even two spots down at the bar. If she does this and glances your way chances are she is interested. Give it a second and look for body language, suddenly playing with hair, lots of smiles that happen to be always in your view, and of course eye contact.

4. The approach. If a girl is giving you all of the signs then your approach is at this point probably a sure thing. Don't mess it up! How would you mess it up? If you are drunk, keep in mind that it would probably be a turn off. Also avoid any creepy staring, and do not go for any grouping. The grouping one will turn any lady away immediately. I say lady, because slutty girls would probably like it, but these tips are geared to you talking to ladies not ....... you get the point.

5. Just be there to have fun. Any girl you would want to approach has probably been hit on a lot through the course of the night. If you want to be different, dont try to pick her up. This is noticeable in the first few moments of meeting a guy. Girls do know what the intent is, so even if you intent to pick her up, change your mind before the approach. You are there because she seems like an interesting person, and you would like to be a small part of the reason she is having fun that night. So entertain her, bring something to the table. If you want to dance, just start dancing, and see if she responds. This approach will always work better for you TRUST me! It breaks the ice immediately when you realize this is just another cool person to hang out with, and hes not just trying to pick you up.

I am not sure if anyone reading this would even have any use for my tips. But it was fun writing is. And who knows, maybe a new reader will come on the scene and have a need for such advice.

So it turns out I am loved

Yea, so man I sounded like I was ready to jump off of a bridge after that last post. Shaun I appreciate you bringing to my attention that your life sucks more than mine, and that I am a dork. So tam called me to tell me I got lots of love on my last post, when I went back and read it I realized I how lame I sounded, and freaking depressed. MAN! I will admit, I have been depressed lately. Rudy said that a puppy would cheer me up, he said that because I am puppy obsessed right now. I was looking at them this morning. I want a little Tibetan terrier. I guess the fact that they are impossible to come by is a good thing, otherwise I might just have me a new best friend. I don't want to take care of a dog though. So I guess I don't need one. So its Friday! Thank God for that. I am tired today! I just want to lay around the house, and do nothing. I am working however so I really have to go. For all y'all who commented to tell me you loved me..... I LOVE YOU TOO!!! Tam and Elissa, we need to hang out when I get back. We don't see each other nearly enough. I should probably start a countdown for Michele. She will be here in 5 days! I cant wait!!!!
