Day Thirty-One

I HATE BUGS. Esp horseflies. One bit me at the pond two days ago, and gory details aside, I have right ankle celulitis. Whatever that is. But on the bright side, the doctor in the er told me to take the day off! So I've been chilling out all day watching movies and eating pasta salad (yumm) but now I'm super super bored. Oh, and I've spent pretty much my whole paycheck buying stuff on the internet (while I was keeping tabs on the swelling in my cankle). Yesterday one of the irish lads tried to cheer me up about the whole situation by ensuring me that at least the cankle will be gone by the time I get married. WTF? I sure as hell hope my ankle returns to normal before then!!

That's pretty much it. Quiet on the homefront (besides the music I've been blasting to keep me company). I was looking forward to chilling out today, but it turns out I like working. Weird. Tomorrow I'm definitely going back to work (gotta make up the serious dent in my savings that today did...). And I'm totally looking forward to all of the swag I have coming in the mail (hey, if my ankle has to be a cankle, at least the rest of me can look cute in my new clothes!).

Oh, and I also found this video chilling out on my you-tube tab. I'm guessing someone was using my computer and put it on. I think its cute.



Ta-ta for now!

Day Thirty

Last day with Portney :'(

BUT ANOTHER FUN DAY OF SLOSHBALL! yippie! Work got called off this afternoon due to thunderstorms (yessss) so Portney and I went shopping for a bit. Then we caught the bus over to OB and played kickball with legit 60 people, which was ridiculous but also tons of fun. After we got pizza with the irish lads and topped it off with a fritter from Back Door Donuts (the diet starts right now).

And I forgot to mention our knights in shining armor yesterday. At work, Portney and I were driving out into the pond and chatting busily about who knows what when all of the sudden the motor stopped! Oh no! So I lifted the motor and realized that I had run over a (submerged) lobster pot, and the rope got wrapped around the motor impossibly.... shit. So I tried to get the rope undone when a boat with an adorable dog, wise old man, and handsome young lad in ray bans (yummm) came over to help us. The handsome young lad (not irish) didn't do much to help, but the wise young man ended up jumping in the water (it was barely three feet deep) and freed our motor of the darn rope. Yay! Then the man accidentally dropped his knife and we felt bad since it was basically our fault, but then he found it so everything was good. Yay for damsels in distress :)

Day Twenty-nine

PORTNEY IS ON THE ISLAND!! yeaaaaa boiiiiiiii :) :)

She's being keeping me company at work while I've been leading boats around a pond in the ritzy part of the island. Tough day, right? Friday night we went to my cousins house for a barbeque, yesterday we ran, went to the pond, checked out gay head, and ate more food at sharky's than I am willing to admit (and we've had mad martha's like twice a day, whoopsie). It's been an awesome weekend and very busy busy, so now we're hanging out watching tv (and saving our energy for kickball tomorrow!).

Day Twenty-three

It's been a very long day. Work was a bit tedious, no sightings of Jake in the store, and then the afternoon I literally didn't do much. I dry-capped a boat for demonstration (as damage control, I had fallen off the boat earlier and had to prove myself). But I didn't do much swimming, because jellys have infested the water and there's nothing I dislike/fear more.

After work I went for a run, added some fartleks to increase my stamina (gotta keep up with Jake!), stopped by kickball but wasn't feeling it so I left early.

I am feeling like a little old school Britney though:

Day Twenty-two

JAKE GYLLENHAAL IS ON THE ISLAND!



Spotted: Jake throwing away a piece of trash at the Chilmark Store, by Muffy's dad. Around the same time I was thinking about stopping at the store to buy a coffee...and then decided to not stop. NOOOOOOOO. Big. Mistake.

That aside, I did some "social climbing" of my own last night, other than the Jake stalking. I went to an AUCTION... fun! In reality, I just stood around with Skip and Archie (Muffy was back on the mainland for a regatta) and drank a gin and tonic (yummy)! Then we had lobster (Archie took care of the yuckie intestines for me) and then had a few cups of coffee and left. Go late, leave early.

Day Nineteen

Who gets a cold in the middle of the summer? Not cool. Work's been pretty rough since I've not been able to stop sneezing, but other than that and the terrible heat wave I guess I can't complain. I had the adult session this afternoon, which was nice because I could talk about the nerdy physics and whatnot about sailing, instead of just repeating over and over "tiller towards you!", which as you can assume, gets absurdly redundant. This morning was chill.

Tonight, I'm going to bed early. Gotta kick this cold and get back in the game.

Day Seventeen

What a scorcher. Seriously, I think that I got sun poisoning, mild heat stroke, and generally over-cooked. Too hot and sunny.

But now I'm in the air-conditioning, and I'm not leaving. I am tired. Yesterday's sloshball made me exhausted, and the heat today didn't really help. So it's bed time.

Sweet dreams.

PS. I made an egregious mistake in an earlier post: watchya say is by Jason Derulo, not David Guetta. Whoopsie

Day Sixteen

I'm back! Just got off the ferry at 11:30, went to work, and the did capsize drills with the kids so I could go swimming. Not a bad day. I'm off to sloshball in a bit, but figured I'd catch up with the blog quickly beforehand.

Not much happened friday, work was good and then I hopped on the ferry back to the mainland. I went to the beach on saturday, sailing with my rents on sunday, watched the fireworks back at school, and then caught the bus back this morning. Pretty busy weekend.

I hope everyone had an awesome fourth of july! I'm too tired/have too much of a writer's block to write more.

P.S. Here's a pretty song that I heard over the weekend:

Days Eleven and Twelve

OHEMGEE TWILIGHT!!!!!!


Everything that has happened in the past two days has totally been eclipsed... BEST. MOVIE. EVER. Go rpatz!

But seriously, I thought the first two movies were better. I just got back from eclipse, I dragged Muffy and Bunny with me. They won't admit that they loved it too.

Quick recap of everything else: We had a long break between the morning and afternoon sessions today, so Muffy, one of the irish lads, and I went to Menemsha to get lunch and hang out by the boat place where some scenes from jaws were filmed...scaryyy. Then work was fun, we had the adult session today so it was a bit stressful but otherwise not bad. After work Muffy and I checked out the restaurant where one of my future housemates works as a line chef. It was a bit upscale so the waiter didn't ID (yay!) and my housemate sent over a mozzarella/tomato/spring mix appetizer. I had scallops and linguini, and Muffy had swordfish. It was a nice night out for us to reward ourselves for our hard work these past two weeks (with all the sailing around and windsurfing... that's bound to make a person hungry). Then on our way back to the car we went to back door donuts (fresh donuts!) and I had a butternut donut (my fav)... so between the food at menemsha and the huge dinner and donuts, I'm totally stuffed. Tomorrow I have to save room for a Frappe at mickey d's(on the drive back to boston). Which reminds me... I'm heading away for the vineyard for two days :'(.

Last night was typical. We went to the irish house for one of their 21st birthdays. Muffy and I brought the game "telephone" over... and a few bottles of champagne. We played some chandeliers and then called it a night.

I believe that's enough rambling for right now. Happy fourth to all!
