What is on our DVR?

Ha. Wouldn't you like to know?

It's our secret world. I will go in order starting with Mondays ... so as not to show favoritism.

Monday:
How I Met Your Mother
Big Bang Theory
Heroes
Jon & Kate Plus 8
The Hills

Tuesday:
NO TV TUESDAY.
We've actually been pretty good about.
That's because there are no good shows on Tuesdays.
(Feel free to offer up suggestions as we need MORE things to watch)

Wednesday:
ANTM - America's Next Top Model
Gossip Girl
Real World
Pageant Place

Thursday:
Grey's
Big Shots (GREAT new show, watch it!)

Friday:
Friday Night Lights

Sat & Sun:
We've got nothing.

Let it be known that G will watch ALL of these things with me except Heroes and ANTM. And Heroes is even starting to get to me ... but you gotta love Tyra and those snarky models.

What're you watching?
What else SHOULD we be watching?

Where were you when the Red Sox won the World Series?!

The next question now has to be ... which one?!

YAAAAAAAAAY RED SOX!!!!!!!

So the answer ...

2004: I was at An Tua Nua - a bar in the Fenway area - watching with my best friends from high school Pam and Anna. It was my senior year in college and it was the best night ever. Anna flew home from her studies abroad in Spain. We watched the Sox win and celebrated by pouring beer all over each other. Hard earned beer. We then rushed down to Kenmore to join the crowds .... and quickly came face to face with some police in riot gear - and ran in the other direction! I think I was the only person getting on the B line train going OUT of the city rather then IN! But it was awesome and I will never forget it.

2007: A very different scene. Greg and I stayed in after a long and busy weekend. We watched the game together ... and as it got later and later we realized how "old" we are! We were struggling to stay awake, refusing to leave the living room and the couch for the bedroom because I knew I would fall asleep! Fianlly we watched the last half inning in the bedroom. Watched about 15 minutes of celebration, and passed out for the night! Does that mean we were any less excited then we were three years earlier -- I dont think so. Does that mean we are waaay lamer then we were - yes, definitely.

Any where and any way you watchted the game -- it was a GREAT game and a GREAT series.

GOOOOOOO RED SOX!!!!!!!!!

What do you think I should blog about?

So I joined that Nablopomo thingy. What do you think I should blog about for the month of November?

Or just what do you think I should blog about tomorrow?

Cause this is my blog for today. Ha. Cheap. I know.

What about Coach Jags?

"Hey what do you think of Coach Bags?" - coworker of Leigh's

"I think that he's a great coach. He's been doing a really good job keeping the players heads on straight and focused. He's been great for BC, but anyone is better then Tom O'Brien." - Leigh

"I said Coach bags, as in the leather bags, I am thinking of buying one for my girlfriend. But umm looks like you are really obsessed with this whole BC football thing." - coworker.

Umm yeah I think we've all gotten a little obsessed with BC football.

But I LOVE IT.

GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!

Did you hear the news?

I (finally!) got a new job!! I will be working for Reebok, located in Canton MA. My position is still in HR which I am excited about because I really don't think I needed to switch careers but rather switch companies. I will be part of a program called the Functional Trainee program - where I will do rotations in different functions of HR for 12-18 months, 3 or 4 months at a time, and at the end they will help me find a full time position within the company where I best fit. I am so excited!!! I will start on November 12th. My last day here will be Nov 6th. And I will take a few days off and go down to Virginia Tech to watch the Tech vs FSU game.

That brings me to my current connundrum. Greg and I will be breaking up this week. No worries. No gasps. It's only going to be for 24 hours. 10 hours before the game, 4 hours during, and 10 hours after. Therefore nothing we say during those 24 hours can or will be used against us in the court of our house. Haha. In all seriousness I think we've gone a little far with the competition this year. Please check out our pumpkins that we carved this weekend. As Sara stated earlier - it looks like BC is on FIRE!

Other things ... everything is really great right now. I'm really excited that now that I have found a job I can relax and settle in to doing some more fun things with my evenings rather then looking for silly jobs! I'm def up for reading some good books this winter so let me know what you all are reading.

Greg and I are doing great. He still loves his job but hates his commute now since they moved out of the city and into Burlington, MA (for those that dont know it's WAY north of the city and takes him about an hour and 20 min on a good day to get there! ew!!) So other then the BC vs Tech fiasco coming up on Thursday we've just been busy watching the Red Sox and Patriots and both Tech and BC all having really great seasons.

Oh and one last thing ... how cute is this baby?!?!

Don't you wish you were clever sometimes?

So I sent a company wide email to everyone stating
"Someone left a pair of glasses in Conference room 527 please come and get them if they are yours."

The CFO promptly writes back:
"If one of them has red wine in it ... I call dibs."

Sometimes I wish I was [were?] clever.

What did I do last weekend?

Well I haven't posted in a while so I will go with something basic. What did I do last weekend?

I know it's Wednesday, a little late for a weekend recap, and I really should be looking forward to next weekend already (which I am) but I am sitting at work and welp, I want to write something. DEAL WITH IT.

Last weekend:
Friday:
- Interview. ALL. DAY. LONG. with the most fabulous company that I just found out yesterday that I kind of sort of almost have the job. (More for another post)
- Phone calls with parents in Paris and boyfriend in Burlington discussing how interview went. Parents: "Nice coool great can't wait to hear more but we're in Paris so we'll talk when we get home" (They were much more attentive than that but let's be honest - I shouldn't have called them anyway they were on vacation!!) Boyfriend: "Great but go take a nap and get on the T by 5:00 to head to Fenway cause ......... I GOT ALCS TICKETS FOR US!!!!!!!"
- Yes that's right I went to the ALCS game 1 Red Sox vs Cleveland. It was awesome. We won. We sang sweet Caroline. We drank some beers. We had a wonderful night.
Saturday:
- Hang out and relax in the am.
- VTech Football game at Noon.
- Arrival of cousin Luke at 1:30 - He alone is enough entertainment for a month.
- Departure for downtown 2:45
- Arrival downtown 3:25
- BC Football kickoff 3:30
- Watch BC game - WOOHOOOO We're still undefeated. ND what? ND who? OH yeah ND nothing!! Though we didn't play our best we're still doing great - #3 baby! Go Eagles!
- Attempt to watch Red Sox game -- only make it through about 4 innings because it had already been a long day
Sunday:
- Watched LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL ON MTV (amazing. please go and dvr it so you can watch it because it was awesome and I really wish that I had seen it live but this was a really close second)
- Went shopppping and bought the cutest jacket!! And watched as G purchased a lot of "big boy" clothes -- aka new work pants and shoes.
- Decided that we would both go home and watch the Patriots game at home with our respective families. Being lucky enough that it's only a 30 min drive to G's parents house and another 10 min to get to my parents. We are very lucky.
- Watched the game and had some dinner and saw all my parents beautiful Paris pictures.
- Drove home. Passed out by 9:30!

Monday:
- What's that you say? Monday is not a part of the weekend? Well you're going to have to DEAL with it because Monday was a part of my weekend this weekend.
- Went to work (blaaaaah)
- Drove and found free parking near the Garden (SCORE!)
- Dinner and drinks with friends pre-concert.
- MAROON FIVE CONCERT!!!!!
- Watched the sad ending to the Sox game ...

All in all ... very busy weekend .... but not very productive.

We've got a long list of "to-do's" for this weekend ... Hope we can knock a few of those out.

Was that too much information? Well you dont have to read it if you dont want to know it! :P

What Winnie the Pooh Charater are YOU!?

What Winnie the Pooh Charater are YOU!?!

Where is the best place to relax in the entire world?

You got it ...


That's the view from sitting here ...


This is where we eat dinner ...


Or read a book first thing in the morning ...


Or simply enjoying the 3rd of July bonfires ...


And fireworks ...

What happened at Harpoonfest?

See first there was some UFO drinking ...

Then there were work friends who arrived via bike ...

Followed quickly by "the spill felt round the parking lot" ...

Abe Lincoln also stopped by ...

Somebody (who shall remain nameless) seduced a security guy to get 17 free drink tickets ...

And then we decided to go to COLLEGE!!!! (G's face describes the rest of the night - no pictures necessary)
