happy birthday to ME!

so i'm 26 now. feels a lot like 25 just plus one. no biggie. but i did spend two amazing days with my man.

starting in MA we went south into RI. we went to Providence Place but, due to my error, parked in the wrong garage making our stay quite a bit shorter (only 45min or so) and paying $10 for parking! we found out later that for up to 3 HOURS in the Providence Place Parking garage would have only be $1!!!! fuck. so we left there and headed farther south and west. we had decided to check out Mohegan sun since my ID was going to expire on the 11th and my new license wouldn't be here yet. so we got down there with plenty of time to burn. i wasted $25 on the slots. i have a lot of control when it comes to stuff like that. I knew when i took $20 out of my account that i would never see it again so it was ok. so from there we decided to head back to providence. on our way there we thought about it and decided to change it up and stay at some random place before going back into the city. we stayed at the Sky View Inn and it kinda sucked at first then got a lot better. we opted for a night in and grabbed some snacks from shaws and just got drunk. some popcorn and wonderfullness later we passed out. today we started with providence place again (this time parking in the right lot) and had a much more relaxed time. after, we headed north back into MA. when asked what i wanted to do i suggested just "head west" but not home. so on route 109 (which neither of us had ever driven) we went. from beginning to end it was a great road...lots of big houses, beautiful countryside. a very scenic route. we stopped wherever we wanted and had no time table to think of. arriving at home it was a sad goodbye to the two days past but they're forever locked in memory.

in other news...i have to work tomorrow AM at 7. yuck. SOOOO...it's bed time for me.

zune 3 update, vermont trip and knitting news!

so for those that care there is a new Zune update! IT FUCKING ROCKS!!!! added functions, games and more. better wireless stuff too!!!! get it at zune.net or through your zune software!

ok. so today i went to vermont on a whim with my man. took a turn off of route 2 and ended up just heading farther north. saw turner falls, the connecticut river, some random parts of new hampshire and a LOT of route 119. actually, i think i found my new favourite street for getting lost on. route 119 goes way up into vermont and (i think) into Canada! that's sick. so going there that way some day. good thing vic's got a prius. we drove from leominster, ma, through erving, montague, and north into vermont via route 91, stopped in guilford, headed north into brattleboro, east through new hampshire then onto 119 all the way back into MA through fitchburg and home to leominster. ALL THIS ON 3 GALLONS OF GAS!!!!!!!!!!! god i love that car.

and in knitting news i'm finally almost done a scarf using the knifty knitter. it's taken FOREVER so i recommend AGAINST it if you're thinking about it. save those rings for hats and things, NOT SCARVES!!!! oi vey.

bed time now. gotta go to work tomorrow. yay. <--sarcasm.
