mmph SUNY I love it I love it I love it I love it mmph SUNY that is my heart's desire

I apologize for the NEACURH cheer title, for all of you who were not mad about the moose and involved with NEACURH at your undergrads, that my friends is what you call a cheer, a cheer I hold near and dear and have had stuck in my head ever since I got the phone call from Courtney, an RD at SUNY Stonybrook on Thursday while in line for lunch talking with friends about the job search and silencing my phone not realizing the incoming call was a job interview offer! I got to chat with Courtney later that day to confirm a date and time for my phone interview and I already feel comfortable with her which is a good sign for my interview this Friday at 10am. Here's hoping. My whole fam is really rooting for this job and I am confident in my attractiveness as a candidate, so we shall see. If I was a hall director I would have big shoes to fill to even attempt to compare to the wonder that was/is Ryan Bennett, but I'll damn sure try to do my best if I were hired. So Thursday was a day of joy and sorrow b/c while I got 1 great phone call with a lot of potential, I also got an incredibly upsetting phone call from a friend, b/c what goes up must come down I guess?

In other news, my cousin Ryan (aka Fuzz, aka 4 1/2) is my best friend. No seriously, when he was at the park on Friday trying to flirt with a new girlfriend when she asked him who his best friend was he matter of factly replied "Kissy". When my aunt told me that my heart literally turned into a puddle. Here's the lil' Casanova himself decked out in my scarf and other Elton John-esque accessories


Later that day was chaotic, as when my sister and I arrived to pick my mom up for our CT adventure my mom and grandma eventually shared with us my grandpa had been rushed to the hospital in an ambulance about an hour prior. My grandpa is a mean old man essentially, and I was never close with him, and always resented how emotionally abusive he was to my mom, me, my grandma, etc so I was not upset by this, nor was my grandma really, but we did not feel comfortable leaving her alone if something were to happen. We went to dinner at a yummy Italian restaurant called Angellina's in Lynbrook, then went back to the house to check on my grandma and against the judgement of Roey and I they decided we should go to CT. We got in after 11, and passed out by midnight (Crissy graciously let Roey and I use her orgasmically comfy bed so we could be far away from my snoring sack of a mom). I made them gingerbread pancakes with cinnamon chips for bfast, we went to campus & I showed them my office and such, picked up Mary and went out for Thai at Sawadee (<3) so she could finally meet my sister and they could fall in love with each other like I am in love with each of them, got ice cream sundaes from the Dairy Bar on campus (we make our own amazing ice cream, I got banana chocolate chip with heath and marshmallow toppings, mmmmmm), dropped Mary off at home then drove back to LI.

Today was my cousin Erin's babyshower which was a nice time and I got to see a lot of family I haven't seen in a while. Here's some pics:


Roey and I also had a sexy photo shoot in the middle of the party, just to make all the ladies jealous of our beauty


When I got back to CT I went to get gas with my Price Chopper Sunoco discount, and had my usual sketchy interaction with the old man attendant, except this time I walked in and he said "Don't you look purtyyy all dressed up. You just come back from church?"

BAHAHA. I replied "not so much that's not my scene, I had a baby shower". Good times. Then Mary and I had our weekly hot old lady shopping date and I came back here to unpack, unwind, and catch up with the roomulate.

Ok it's far beyond my bedtime I'll leave you with my postsecret of the week I relate to:

That one is for you dad. Today at the shower I met a woman who was my aunt's best friend for the 1st time, and she said "Oh you're Mike's daughter".... so I of course made it awkward and made a smug and disgusted face and replied "Umm yea I guess I am". I felt bad afterward as she didn't know any better but what can you do.

Night world.

ps we had a badass thunderstorm earlier, l o v e d it!
