Ok so I know its evil but i cant get this awful smirk off my face. I got an email this morning that said "Hey Everyone, At this time it doesn't look like we have enough interest to be able to hold the 10 Year Reunion on November 28. I want to thank Beth Har and Judy Vajda for their help in planning the reunion. We will try to reschedule the reunion for a time when more people are available."
Now if you read any of my previous posts you know that I wasn't planning on attending this years reunion. I was thinking about going after my friend Julie asked me to go.
When I received the original Evite I was angry. Who the hell sends out an Evite for a reunion? I know we live in the digital age but do you know anyone who really responds to Evite? Also we graduated with 311 people and only about half of those names were on the Evite (plus several duplicate names). Where the hell was the other 150 people? No wonder it was cancelled due to lack of interest! You didn't Evite the interested parties!
It pisses me off that the only people who got the Evite are members of Facebook. So only the cool kids get to go? Its just sooo Andover isnt it? If you aren't cool enough for Facebook you arent cool enough to get invited to the party. It serves them right for inviting Facebook people to a reunion via Evite. Idiots.
Also I have another rant. How much money does it cost to send out some postcards? Also why did it cost $30 a person to attend the reunion. My wedding cost less than that per person and it was at a country club in the same town with a full menu!

Kicked my Ass
So today at Krav Maga I learned some pretty cool things. Unfortunately I also got the shit beat out of me. Check out one of many NASTY bruises...
and the mother of all bruises...
this one hurts so bad i had to ice it for an hour today. I also have multiple bruises on my thighs, calves, knees and my ass. I am literally getting my ass kicked. BUT I learned some awesome things and it was totally worth it. This is my 3rd class in the 6 week course. Today we learned how to defend ourselves if someone is on top of us. I had to fight my way out from under a 250 pound 6 foot 4 guy today. At one point 6 people got in line each with their own turn to try to fight me. They choked me and hit me and held my arms. I had to get them off of me and flip them over and then hurt them to get up and run away. It was pretty cool that I was able to do it. Out of all of the techniques i felt like this one was the most fun and I was good at it. I also wished I knew this in college to teach my residents and friends - we all would have felt safer im sure. Either way - i can fight them off. Pretty cool right? Bruises will fade but the confidence that I'm getting in this class will hopefully stay with me forever. Good thing its not short sleeve weather anymore huh? hahahaha

Mama Wants
I have blogged about this collection before but its been a year and I'm still obessed with these shirts.
I really really really need an excuse to pay this much money on a shirt. Someone help! I want to buy one for everyone I know!
This one is perfect for Jen.
This one would be hysterical for Jessi.
This one would be a hysterical internal joke gift for Anna!
And this one was made for me!
can someone tell me that its ok to spend $87 USD on a t-shirt in this economy? Oh and did I mention I just paid $491 for my car on Monday and today I started legal proceedings against my former neighbor. Ya - I probably dont have the $ to spend on a hysterical nasty t-shirt from Paris. Too bad I'm not loaded... or better yet... too bad Brett's not loaded! hehehe

Learning how to kick some ass! Krav Maga style!
For those of you who have known me for years you are probably going to laugh your ass off when I tell you what I did yesterday.
I signed up for a 6 week Krav Maga class. Krav Maga is a military hand to hand combat system designed by Israli Defense Forces. In Isreal the army is made up of both men and women so Krav Maga is designed to teach everyone techniques to defend themselves no matter how big or small.
Brett took some Krav Maga classes at his work the other day and told me that I should do it. I was excited that he wanted me to do this. He kept on me and finally I signed up. Yesterday was my first class.
We learned how to punch, fist thrust, kick and defend off an attacker that is putting you in a frontal choke hold. At one point I almost passed out. This is literally the first time I have worked out in probably 8 months. I stuck it out and I really enjoyed myself. It was cool to think that I could actually defend myself. The great thing about krav Maga is that it doenst teach you how to fight. It teaches you how to defend yourself and then run when you get the opportunity. Unlike boxing and other fight techniques the goal of Krav Maga is to defend and run. I like this because thats exactly what I would actually do!
After my class I told Brett I would show him what I learned. Unfortunately for Brett I wasnt so good at my fake groin kicks. Poor kid should wear a cup next time we practice. BUT I did take him down. Day 1 and I'm already kicking ass... eerr groin.

Crap! I missed my stop!
So I am blogging at my new digs today (sshhh dont tell my boss)!
The new job is going well. I'm getting into the swing of things and attempting to commute to work. Today i thought i'd take the bus. Well I didnt know which bus to transfer to or when that would come. So I walked. I was sweating and freaking out that I was going to be late on my second day. I'm a retard. Last night I missed my stop on the T so I made Brett pick me up. Also a retarded move.
Maybe tonight I can figure out how to get home. Its really not that difficult I just want to find an easier route... but that might not be possible.
Three ways I can get to work:
1. take the orange line and tranfer to the red line and then walk 10 mins
2. take the bus to Downtown and then transfer to another bus that might drop me off somewhere closer to work. Then i walk.
3. walk to the water taxi in the Charlestown Navy Yard and take it to Long Warf. Then walk the 15 mins to my office.
Any way you slice it I need to tranfer and walk. gggrrr
I am CLOSER to work now (only 1 1/4 mile) but it takes longer to get her b/c there is no direct route. If I wasnt lazy and the weather was nicer in this stupid town I would just walk to work every day.
