... my misfortune

it all starts with the plan for a trip to vegas...

it's been a while since me and my boys have planned on a trip together for a while, with the economic crisis and our busy schedules it's been loooong due for a good time and a cause for even better stories. but as it turns out it was the most expensive week of my life.

i get a rude awakening on wednesday morning to find that my car along with 5 other cars in the garage of my apartment had been broken into and my gps was stolen. how the f this happend in a gated parking lot just baffles me...

so in a panic to get it fixed, since my car was one of the 2 cars elected to be driven... i rushed around all day trying to find people who could fix it for me instantly. i got recommended by geico to get this company called safelight auto glass to replace the broken window. (great company by the way) they drive to wherever you park your car and fix it on the spot. but having to go to work i drove 20 miles on the highway with no window.... awesome. (yes i live far from where i work) while driving, i hear a slight bang and from the corner of my eye, i see a black thing fly by my window...as it turns out it was my windshield side panel that flew off as well. so while waiting for the guy to fix my window i frantically look for a place that had that part in stock and could replace it for me on that day. good thing i did....but in total the window and the panel had cost me $330. double awesome.

so come friday we're off to vegas. everything went fine...so far. we manage to get to vegas in one piece, check into the hotel and all get ready to go out for the night. so to prep myself for an epic night, i smoke a fatty and head off. having 7 ppl we split up into 2 cabs to go to XS. gino, tiff and i get in the first cab. and joe, billy, carol and peter get in the next. as we arrive we paid the driver and dipped out...only to find...that i had left my phone in the cab. triple awesome! having lost my phone, we just waited around for the 2nd cab to arrive...which never did. we were totally f-ed. not only did i not have my phone anymore...the ppl i was with didnt have the numbers of the other party. even more awesome....and to make matters worse...as we were walking around to look for them at either the entrace of XS or the other cab stand...the heal of my shoe breaks! Fing AWESOME! so after a good hour of running around (or should i say limping like an asshole) and waiting for them to possibly show up...we come up with a plan to find numbers on my phone bill. however my friend tiff (being the smart one) had left her iphone in the hotel room on purpose. so we go back to the hotel, use her phone to log onto my account, find my phone bill and pick a number that seemed some-what familiar and call it. it turns out it was my ex-boyfriends number...who is also friends with the other party that was in vegas...got him to text us billy and joe's numbers and finally got in contact with them. SAVED. in the end with the high potential of the night being an epic fail....it just ended up being epic.

fixing car window: $200

replacing side panel: $130

GPS: $400

lost iphone: $200

fixing of my broken heal: TBD

iphone replacement: $400

my complete and utter disappointment: ....priceless.

on a better note.... the trip overall was actually a great. good company, good times...and even better stories. awesome.

... My FML

Yesterday my boss had told some top secret, super sensitive information about ppl at my job, telling me to keep it on the DL. I couldn't help but to tell my friend via text.... i quickly typed out what was about to go down and hit send. i then noticed i had sent it to my boss instead. oops. FML

...best burger ever : new york

the corner bistro on west 4th between 8th and Jane has the BEST rated burger in the WORLD.
take my word for it...as someone who's not a huge fan of meat...i will put that aside for the bistro burger.
not to mention they are only 6 dollars. the place looks like a hole in the wall but it is the BOMB!
beers, fries and the best burger in the world. GUARANTEED.




now tell me dont want some of that....

..after party eats.

so i'm back in new york....and it feels great.
before we went to party last night, my friend came over to where i was staying for a little pre-game. just before heading out...i stated that we're NOT allowed to eat after. it being the easiest way to gain weight and all. my friend not only agreed but declared that he had just worked so hard to loose a bunch of weight and wasn't about to gain it all back again. so off we went.
it was a great time...but come the end of the night. ofcorse he decides that he wants to eat. without a fight...i complied. so we went to cafeteria. on 7th Ave between 17th and 18th. a trendy little restaurant that is open 24hrs a day. awesome... (you dont get places like that in LA). it was only a couple of blocks away from where we were at. double awesome. i was somewhat reluctant because that place is always packed..and normally a loooong wait to get in. but my friend reminded me that "we're in a recession bitch! there wont be a line!" and sure enough when we got there......there wasn't one. recession confirmed.
so ate we did, and weight we gained.

what's happend...

it's been a while huh?

not that i have any followers...but never the less i've decided to get back on the blogging wagon.

much has happened ...love lost, then found, then lost again. many drunken nights followed by just as many hung over days. lay offs, forced unpaid vacation days and pay cuts. i thankfully still have my job. but i hate updates. so i'll start fresh. a little late in the new year....but here we go.

so i've kinda been through a shit storm the past 2 weeks. on a crazy emotional roller coaster ride. details are a little too private...not to mention i was hardcore pms-ing which managed to sky rocket my emotions. but either way. this friday, i felt that i was looong due from a night of complete and utter inebriation. however...it didn't seem to turn out the way i expected to. i somehow managed to surpass my limits and ended up blacking out. (i've only ever blacked out one other time....and i woke up the next day naked in my bed....alone. dont know what happend there either.) all i remember from the end of the night is sticking my head out of the window of my car and throwing up. not cute.

the next day was full of confusion. not only did i not remember anything...i was also missing EVERYTHING. no phone. no purse. no car keys. only a scrunched up receipt for a $250 tab and some chicken scratches that look nothing like my signature. a trash can by my bed and a bowl of water on my bedside table. (random) no one has a land line anymore so being cut off from the world i turn to the internet to find out what the FFFFFFF happend.

as it turns out. my friend, whom i love dearly, drove my car home and took care of me. i apparently threw up on his hand while he put me in my car, drove me home....took me upstairs and proceeded to watch me puke for another hour. put me in bed, along side of a trash can and apparently i was out of clean cups so being the problem solver that he is...he finds a bowl instead, fills it with water, to put beside me incase i got thirsty. my phone was thankfully left in my car, but he leaves with my car keys still in his pocket (i get them back later that day)... i DID however loose my purse. but all that was in there was, cigarettes, lip gloss, my debit card, my new york drivers license and about $120 in cash. i WAS however told that i said numerous times "i'm having soooo much fun!!!!" so i guess i was having fun. but it's not worth it if you dont remember it. esp when it's followed by a full day of being completely hung over and useless. it did manage to numb the pain of "single awareness day" though.

oh...to top it off...i apparently met someone that night at the club. i only know this because i a got a text msg and i quote, "hey margaret (apparently i told him my name was margaret...i never do that..it's marge) nice meeting u tonight. i'm carl btw... the guy that ur gonna fall in love with =P." who is carl?! why did i give him my number?!? i dont remember. but more importantly....does that actually work on ppl!?

all in all it was an epic night....in all the wrong ways........

.......fail.
