IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WEEK SO FAR! WHOOHOO!

MONDAY NIGHT AFTER WORK I DROVE TO BUFFALO TO SPEND THE NIGHT AT MY ROOMMATE KRISTIN'S HOUSE AND WE WENT TO MIGHT TACO - - - - IF YOU KNOW THE 'NU BROOKE' YOU KNOW THIS IS WHAT I LIVE OFF OF ALL YEAR LONG PRACTICALLY THREE MEALS A DAY - - - - I WAS STARTING MASSIVE WITHDRAWAL!

TUESDAY ME AND KRISTIN WENT TO DARIEN LAKE AND THE ASHLEE SIMPSON CONCERT.  WE HAD THE BEST TIME EVER! WE RODE THE LOG RIDE LIKE 5 TIMES IN A ROW CAUSE IT WAS HOT BUT WE WERE TO LAZY TO GET REALLY WET ... AND REGARDLESS OF WHAT MY MOTHER WILL TELL YOU ASHLEE SIMPSON IS AWESOME.  OVERALL IT WAS A WONDERFUL DAY!

WEDNESDAY ME AND KRISTIN WENT SWIMMING FOR A LITTLE BIT, AND FOR ONCE I DIDN'T GET SICK.  IT WAS A SHOCKING EXPERIENCE SINCE I ALWAYS GET SICK WHEN I SWIM!  THEN AFTER DRIVING ALL THE WAY HOME FROM BUFFALO, MY WONDERFUL MOMMY ENDED UP LOANING ME SOME MONEY SO I COULD DRIVE BACK UP TO NIAGARA FALLS AND SPEND THE NIGHT OUT WITH TWO OF MY FAVORITES LAURA AND COURTNEY! THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE SEEN LAURA IN 7 MONTHS (BECAUSE SHE WENT AND DID THE DISNEY INTERNSHIP LAST SEMESTER) AND THE FIRST TIME I HAD GOTTEN TO SEE COURTNEY IN 2 MONTHS (SINCE SHE GOT OUT OF REHAB).  NEEDLESS TO SAY I MISSED THEM BOTH TONS AND TONS AND IT WAS DEFIANTLY WORTH THE LONG DRIVE BACK UP TO THE FALLS!  IT IS INSANE TO THINK THAT ONLY 4 MONTHS AGO COURTNEY WAS IN ICU FIGHTING FOR EVERY MINUTE OF LIFE AND NOW WE CAN GO OUT AND WALK UP AND DOWN CLIFTON HILL - WITHOUT EVEN AS MUCH AS CRUTCHES!  IT WAS DEFIANTLY EMOTIONAL TO SEE HER OUTSIDE OF A HOSPITAL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN WHAT FELT LIKE FOREVER!  PLUS WE GOT CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES FROM THE HERSHEY STORE - AND I LOVE THOSE!

SO IN SUM THIS WEEK HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL WHOOHOO!

SOOOOO I THINK I HAVE MADE AN EXECUTIVE DECISION JUST NOW, PENDING FINALY APPROVAL FROM MOMMY DEAREST.  HERE IT IS: WHEN WE GO ON OUR 'FAMILY VACATION' THE 14TH THRU THE 18TH OF AUGUST, I AM GOING TO DRIVE UP ON MY OWN, SO THAT WAY I CAN GO SEE MY DADS FAMILY WITHOUT HAVING TO FEEL GUILTY ABOUT DRAGGING KAREN AND STARR ALONG FOR THE RIDE, BECAUSE THAT WOULDNT BE VERY ENTERTAINING FOR THEM ... THEN AUGUST 19TH THRU THE 23RD I WANT TO STICK BEHIND AND SPEND THAT TIME ROAMING AIMLESSLY AS I PLEASE.  THERE IS PRACTICALLY NOTHING MORE THAT I ENJOY THAN SITTING AROUND THE HOUSE WITH AUNT JULIANNE, OR GOING TO BINGO WITH NANNA, OR DRIVING AROUND AND GETTING LOST IN SALEM ON PURPOSE, MAINLY BECAUSE THERE IS NO PLACE ELSE IN THE WORLD THAT I LOVE THAN BEVERLY, AND I GET TO SEE MY DADS SIDE OF THE FAMILY SO RARELY THAT I LOVE EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF IT.  I FIGURE IF I AM GOING TO TAKE THE TIME OFF OF WORK FOR OUR FAMILY TRIP, AND ALL I WILL WANT TO DO IS STAY IN BEVERLY INSTEAD OF GOING TO MAINE AND N.H., WHICH WILL JUST FLUSTER MY MOTHER SINCE THAT IS THE POINT OF THE ENTIRE TRIP, IF I STICK AROUND FOR A LITTLE BIT AFTER THEN I CAN DO ALL THE FAMILY VACATION STUFF, BUT THEN I CAN ALSO DO STUFF WITH MY DADS SIDE OF THE FAMILY - AND HEY SINCE IT WILL BE MY BIRTHDAY I GUESS I SHOULD ALLOW MYSELF ALITTLE EXTRA TIME OFF OF WORK TO RELAX AND ENJOY MYSELF SINCE ONCE I GET HOME IT WILL BE STRAIGHT TO PACKING AND THEN BACK TO SCHOOL (HOPEFULLY AT LEAST).  PLUS I WAS THINKING THAT I WOULD CALL WNEC AND SET UP A CAMPUS TOUR AND WHAT NOT WHILE I AM THERE ... CAUSE EVEN THO' IT IS IN SPRINGFIELD I HAVENT EVER ACTUALLY SEEN IT ... SO ITS ALWAYS GOOD TO CHECK IT OUT.

IM TIERD. NIGHT.

For anyone who plans on getting me a birthday present, which does not include liquor, because i will alas be 21, and although that is an obvious option, i do please request family refrain from such, because that would just be really really WEIRD, i would however absolutly love Girls Just Want To Have Fun, my favorite movie of all time on DVD.  Random, I know, but Im in the mood to watch it right now and digging out my VHS is sure going to be a task. *sigh*

I need a day off of work. 

Tonight was day eight of the ten day straight work week.  Its not necessarily that I need a day off for the simple fact that I want a day off ... but working in a hotel you constantly need to be on your toes and after eight straight days your brain gets kinda tired.  After that long of constant thinking and problem solving it seems like your thinking so into depth about problems that you miss the total obvious until its too late.  Such as tonight.  You may not understand what I am saying, but if you ever work in a hotel, you will come to learn, and your brain will get tired too.

Peace.
