so so so scandalous.

So, I think it’s safe to say that I had the craziest couple of days lately. I finally got up the guts to resign from my job—this week will be my last and I’m still currently looking for a new position—but no longer as a childcare provider … I need something different .. something new and spectacular!

Anyway, I spent my Tuesday with Amanda and Laura and I’ve never had so much fun! We went out for coffee, talked a little, and we got chased down by the police—ON FOOT. Yes, that’s right. We were sitting at a park around midnight and we were just talking and calling some people. Amanda’s crush, Tony, had called me and we all freaked out and started running .. and that’s when the cop car turned the corner. I got so scared that I just turned and ran the other way, LOL. How stupid was that? Idiot move of mine. He got us at the exit and shined that obnoxious light in our faces like we committed a serious crime. I stopped short and was so out of breath. I’d never run that fast in my life. (”What are you guys doing?” he asked us. “We were just cutting through the park to get to our car,” I answered, almost naturally.) He let us through and said that the park was closed and not to come back.

Above is actually right before we got into the park. We were walking. Don’t they look happy? LOL. Amanda on the left and Laura of the right. Blackberries have great flash! It was super dark out!

Anyhoo, we met up with some guys that were friends were Amanda and Laura .. super random, however. They were kinda just .. hanging out in a golf parking lot and I felt really out of place. They were those stereotypical wangstas with the ghetto accents and the passion for pot. You know what I’m talking about!

This was right before Laura made a crazy, sharp turn onto a main street. I whipped out my Blackberry and took some pictures of us .. don’t we just look haggard fabulous? LOL. Poor Amanda was hardly in the picture, but she was there in gorgeous spirit!

While we were picking up Stephie (Amanda’s younger sister) at the HS, Laura had to pee .. and the only open bathroom was the men’s room—so hey, WE WENT! She did her business and we were off .. except .. later in the night, we realized that she had left her phone in the faculty men’s room and we had planned to break into the high school. We didn’t, though, because a very gorgeous janitor (ugh, to DIE for) went into the building and got it for us!

Pictures of the urinals, LOL, and of Amanda and Laura, and a random mirror picture of me and Laura in the men’s bathroom!

I also caught up with Kristine—she’s an absolute sweetheart and back in high school, we were all dance babies. It was really fun and I really miss it all ..

In the bandroom of the HS—really hot in there. It was ridiculous! It was good having a throwback picture moment. I’ll try to find the old picture somewhere in my files.

Ugh. Work the next day was horrible. I left my headlights on and the battery went dead so I ended up calling AAA and had to wait an hour for them to come. The guy was a little rude .. but hey, who would be chipper at midnight? He gave me a quick jumpstart and I was good.

My Nissan on the right and the AAA truck to the left.

That’s the girls above after out long, long night.

Another wonderful night from last night after the cut!

Just got back from a very fun and very delicious dinner at Aki Japanese Cuisine! I went with mother, Jann (sister), and her two very hilarious friends, Olga and Rhianna. They sat us in a private area, which is fortunate for the entire restaurant, as we were extremely loud .. and a little obnoxious. Lol, I won’t deny it, though—it was FUN!

Doesn’t that just look divine? Those were the dinner boxes—served with loads of shrimp and veggie tempura, a choice of terikyaki (salmon, chicken, beef, shrimp), a California roll, shumai, and rice. It also came with Miso soup and salad. Oh, gosh, was the sushi delicious. I ordered a Shrimp Tempura Roll before my entree and—OH MY GOD - it was to die for. I’ve never eaten so well before, especially Japanese! And the prices were wonderful! For the box dinner—I didn’t even finish it—it was under $20.

If anyone is in the Northern New Jersey area, then please stop by at Aki—it’s in Bloomfield, NJ—on Broad Street. I’m pretty sure you can googlemap that! That was a little shameless plug, but I must spread the word. This food is too good to pass up. The service was great and the people were very sweet. Atmosphere is also very calming and absolutely relaxing.

Jann and Rhianna were having a wonderful time! LOL, didn’t get to have a picture of my mom and Olga, but it’s okay! They were busy gobbling the decadence that is Japanese food.

After dinner, we went over to Coldstone and pretty much gobbled some more loveliness. I had the Birthday Cake Remix—which is code for ‘Orgasm in My Mouth’ … mmmm.

ALSO: I just found out that I got a 99.75 on my Greek exam! I don’t get why she couldn’t just give me a 100! But, hey, that’s JUST as amazing and I’m so happy I studied. Studying does pay off.

I’m planning on getting Ugg Esters in Chestnut .. what do you guys think? Winter is coming up and I love the look of moccasins! So comfortable and warm. Oh, how I adore Uggs.

With an exposed fleece detailing, the Ester is a simple slipper with a little feminine look. Made with quality twin-faced sheepskin and suede, this style is extremely comfortable. Finished with a molded rubber outsole, the Ester can be worn indoors and outdoors.

LOVE IT!
