I Leave Tomorrow, so HA!

I'm leavin town tomorrow for camp. I'll have my cell on me, but I won't be answering it (unless I'm on my break), I'll just call back when I'm on break if anyone decides to call. And I love phone calls and letters. Feel free to call and send me letters. I'll send out an email with the address, just in case you feel the need to write. Ok, so, I've changed the template, just felt like I needed to. I haven't decided what I think of it yet. Let me know your thoughts.

It was a good weekend, other than the fact the air conditioning is completely shot, and doesn't work AT ALL. That sucks ass. To put it lightly. So, watched Meet the Fockers with Mom. Twice. She fell asleep the first time. We went out as a family (awww....) for Father's Day, since Eric, Mom, and I will all be in Mexico. It was great fun. Then I went to mass. It was a good time too. And finally to Full Moon. Nick actually came, surprise surprise. So, I sat with him and all the Newman people. It was a BLAST! You missed out big if you weren't there. Ran into a bunch of guys from back in my KA days, and even some from high school. At one point, AJ was on stage with Ben, to sing Matt's guitar solo, since Matt wasn't there.... Wierd. (I know that I have the same link for Ben and Matt, but hey, can you blame me?)

I only slept 3 hours last night and I feel more rested than I can even remember being. Its crazy. Work was good today. And now I've got to get emails and such sent out before I leave for PF Chang's with my parents, Logan's mom, and Logan! I haven't seen her since last year!!

Since I won't be around a computer for at least a week, I want to say congrats to Jamie on graduating from OSU!!!! I'm so proud! I wish I could be there.... (yes, I do have the correct OSU linked here) So, don't expect posts for a while, not that anyone reads this thing. :) Love you all!

PS - I challenge you all to the Fight Club Test. See how knowledgeable you are on one of the greatest movies ever.

361/491

I was just surfing the net, and I stumbled across someones list of movies. You're supposed to mark the ones you've seen. So, this is pretty much more for my benefit, but if you wanna copy it and see how many of these you've seen, be my guest. I added 441-487... They were just missing some good ones

Rules as follows:

1. Take this list and paste it into your own entry, and mark the movies you've seen in bold.
2. Add five more movies to the end of the list.
3. Count how many you have seen. Post the score of how many movies you've seen in the subject line.

Thank God It's Friday

Yes, its friday
I'm so ready for it too.
My day was long, most of it just dragged along, but the last hour just plain sucked.
I want to either go out with friends tonight,
or curl up on the couch and watch movies with my mama.
just been a long week
which is sad since it was a short week
gotta clean so logan won't be appalled by my living space when she gets here
also gotta start packing for camp and mexico
which i'm excited about
4 more days til camp!
12 days til mexico!
so tired
the dogs barking again
right now i'm just chatting it up
i swear patrick - we have the weirdest conversations....
how did we get on this topic?
So i went to google talk
found a few other things
know which states i've been to?


create your own visited states map
yeah, i need to go out west, i know
and the countries?


create your own visited countries map
i definitly need to add more there....
ok, as you can tell, i'm bored with no purpose or direction, so i'm gonna go eat.

Almost Friday......

So, I think I figured out the whole posting pictures thing. Sure, it doesn't look nearly as cool as the ones on my big bros page, but hey, I do what I can. So, for all of those who wonder, does Marni really have a Mexican family? And are they Mexican, or are they just American's living in Mexico? Well, here's the pics to show you what my family looks like. The first picture is of 3 of my uncles. My grandparents each had 6 kids from their first marriages, were widowed, got married to each other, and had 4 more - the youngest being my mom. So these 3 uncles are the other 3 kids that they had together.



This pic is of all of the family that was able to make that reunion. There are 7 of my 9 cousins from the 3 uncles shown above, the son of one of my cousins, and also one of my aunts, and her parents. I wasn't there, which is very sad indeed.... But, I'm going to Mexico soon, so I'll be in all the family pics! yay!



And finally, my cousins... :) There are a couple missing, but these are the cousins I grew up with, for the most part. I miss them so much, and haven't seen them in 4 years, some of them I haven't seen in close to 8 years.... I wish I could live closer to my family.



So there you go, mi familia. :)

Other than that the weeks been alright, had an interesting day on Tuesday, some of you know about that, and understand why I'm not gonna go into detail. I've been cleaning up my office, tying up loose ends, since I'll be gone to camp on Tuesday. And its exactly 2 weeks from today that I'll be happily arriving in Mexico. I'm excited about the summer. Its what I look forward to all year.

The other big news (big to me anyway) is that I started playing the piano again. I mean really playing. Right now I'm teaching my self a piece by Scarlatti, and if I can get my copy of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier back, then I'll start playing some preludes and fugues. I'm gonna play one of the Beethoven Sonatas too, the one I was playing my last semester as a piano performance major. I figure, if I'm gonna play, I'm really gonna play. Its amazing how much I love playing the piano.

Ok, well, I'm gonna go eat some grapes, and maybe play a little more, now that I got a break after an hour straight. A break every once in a while makes it easier to go back and tackle the tough spots. Have a great Friday!
