What. UP?Hello people. I've decided to bring this blogging thing back. Mostly because I'm bored. Moooostly. Sooooo....yeah.
Not a whole lot to say right at this moment. Perhaps I've come back to this prematurely.

Wow....There's just so much happening....First, let me say, GO GATORS! That WVU/Louisville game was sumthin' last night, don't you think?!? Good times....I just hope they don't jump us in the BCS....that might make me cry.
Anywho, in other news, I finally got my October NYC trip pics on disk from my sister...yay! I'll post those soon. And maybe, just maybe, I could get some pics of Saturday's Annual Baldwin Halloween Bash from you people, so I can show the world our Host and Hostess-With-The-Mostess, Brit-Brit and K-Fed. Someone get on that, please. You know, I think I am going to get myself a new camera so I don't have to sit around and wait for everyone to send me stuff....or someone that loves me very much can buy me one (wink wink)...Christmas is right around the corner! ;) As far as the Bahamas go, I can't make you any promises....Tita will either have to lend me her camera again, or I will have to rely on the others to send me the pics. I'll ask Tita....
Ok, so that's all I can think of now...I'm sure there more, but my head is a little cloudy this morning....
Oh, and one more for the road....Go Gators!!

LazyDork gets interviewed by CNNhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHp6QvRa-Bs&feature=PlayList&p=630FEDF3186C3394&index=2
Priceless.
So I'm off to G-ville. Go Gators! Ryan told me that he is not, and I quote, "speaking to anyone with a winning football team right now," so win or lose, this game will be bittersweet. :)
In other news, my sister was nice enough to lend me her camera for Wednesday's trip to NY. Yes, again, I have lost another one. It's really quite pathetic. I never lose my keys, or my phone, or credit cards. But cameras...I don't know what it is. Cameras, and the strange habit of leaving my purse in shopping carts at grocery stores. (Lucky for me, it's always still in the parking lot when I realize it and drive back to the store.) They probably have some wonderful medication I could take for this, but I'm afraid it would alter my lovely personality. ;)
Anywho, I promise to post pics from THIS trip, unlike the past trips. Really, I do.

This is too much!http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/24/weekinreview/24leland.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
Check him out on CNN at 8:40 tomorrow morning
For those of you that haven't watched the Lazydork videos on YouTube, I suggest you do--right after you read the Miami Hearld article here: http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/15608359.htm
They're hysterical. Word on the street is that there was an interview on NPR as well....I listen to NPR on my entire way to work everyday; however I must have been in the office already when that aired...
Enjoy Vegas Ricky, and we better see you on Christmas!

And now...let the 2006-2007 rivalries commence!I couldn't think of a better way to start the season....seriously, 2 yards rushing? TWO YARDS?? The lowest in team HISTORY??? Wow. I could care less that FSU won, but I am bursting with joy that UM lost.
I would like to think that the boys will be hanging their heads in sorrow and defeat this morning, but I think it will go more like this.."They didn't beat us, we beat ourselves..." or "we were robbed..." If their excuse is something even more pathetic than those two, I'll be sure to post them here.

Get Bent Bruins!Tita and I don't know what that means exactly, but we've decided it's funny and we're gonna bring bent back.
Now, on to more exciting Gators-are-NATIONAL-CHAMPIONS news:
That's right people...I have bragging rights 'till September. "Played to perfection...." I have not ever heard such sweet words from an opposing team.
Feel free to play the fight song while you read all about our glorious night:

Happy St. Patrick's Day!Hello one and all. I'm still alive. Yeah, I got totally b*tched out the other night for failing to post the NYC trip, so I will work on it this weekend. Sorry, but I've just been VERY busy! NYC did give me lots of material though.....I'll post it all: From the most horrendous airplane ride EVER to the "Dance-Off" I convinced two grown professional men to have at Jameson's during our 2nd Ave pub crawl (it was nothing short of fantastic). You gotta love New York.
Until then, everyone be safe tonight!

So long Miami!We're off! I hope we can make it in before the "heavy snow." I know you all will miss me terribly, but remember, I'm only a phone call away. I know you all will be so excited to hear that I am going to get the USB cord for the camera shortly, so I really really will have pics to share next week.
Ladies, don't forget to e-mail me your requests for Chinatown. I'll be checking e-mails (the gmail account) on my phone periodically, and I can access any links you send me if you need to send a pic. Oh, and look for my mug on the Today Show tomorrow. If we get up early enough, we're totally going to do that. :)

Pictures that never made it....OK, OK, I know I said I was going to post some recent pictures, but I never did make it down to Ben's house last weekend to get the USB cord for the digital camera. So, what I will do is post some pics that didn't make the blog in previous posts. I'm pretty sure that some of you forgot about some of these--there are just too many to post. Some are funny, some are just cute, and some stories just never got told....
On a side note, allow me to take a moment to issue a public apology to Ryan:
Dear B,
I am so very sorry that I chose the Olympics over you last night, but I have formed an unnatural addiction to them in 06. Although I found my "but they only happen once every four years" theory a valid excuse for canceling on you last night, I do recognize that friendship should come before anything else, including the Winter Olympics (which are only on once every four years!). While I did not appreciate your "one day you are going to be old wishing you took advantage of your younger years" e-mail, I am acknowledging that I hurt your feelings, and for that I am truly sorry.
Please find it in your heart to forgive me so that I may return to my normal self from this excruciating state of malaise I have been in since 3pm yesterday when I cancelled our plans once I found out that Ladies Figure Skating and Men's Aerials featuring Speedy Peterson, who was to unleash his signature "Hurricane" jump for the Gold, were going to be on at 8pm.
Forgive me?
With my deepest sadness and regret,
Your second (or third) favorite person (depending on the day) in the entire world
I got rid of our red eyes! Still one of my favorite pics of us..
This is ooooold...but I found it today, and it always makes me giggle. Can any of you hear Joey laughing? I can....
UF/FSU game. Good times. I never did get to tell the story of Babs and I getting a flat tire going 80mph on I-95 (yeah, we could have died) and FEMA stopping to help and having no idea how to work the jack, and not having one himself--we did appreciate his concern though. Most embarrassing was the other guy who stopped and announced that we, in fact, had the jack upside down, and perhaps THAT was why we were having so much trouble. Yeah.
My little Gator
Allison and Bella after Wilma. So cute.
Awwwww yeeeeahhhhh! Do I even need to tell this story? Ryan, don't go around telling your version. Drunk peoples version of nights out don't count.
I think this is my favorite picture ever taken, EVER. And people, this was not on a road trip. This was a Saturday running errands.
Ahhhhh, the Halloween party. Good times. "Peter, where's Tink??"
This was supposed to be a cute pic of Jilly and Chris. Smooth, B...
Typical...
Honestly, I never really noticed Ryan's face in this picture until today. Kimmie was NOT having Ryan that night in NC.
The Hawkeye fans. No comment. (I'll take the high road, thank you very much.)
Outback Bowl
I've always dreamt of going to a Bucs game and sitting in the pirate ship (even though I am in no way, shape or form a Bucs fan). Well, this was close enough.... :) (Note: My sister's visor says "Mrs. Papagorgio". I love that visor.)
Jenny with Alonso Mourning on the patio of Shine...ok, not really WITH him, since we felt a little bad asking him to pose for pics, but we thought "Hey, this will do!" (That's him back there in the white hat)
I'm not even making this up: This is DJ Jazzy Jeff DJ'ing at Shine on the night of the Velvet Rope opening.....how did this story never get told?? I must have gotten lazy....this was so fantastic...
I actually meant to post this one with the rest of Tamy's wedding pictures, and it somehow went unnoticed. Classic Jenny.

I think I have one leg that is shorter than the other...Really. My sister thinks there is maybe a 1/8" difference, but I am going to have to disagree. And, I've only noticed this in recent weeks, which is leading me to believe that I may have some sort of degenerative disease. Tell me if you think I walk funny next time you see me.
Moving on, sorry for not posting--I know I have leaving many of you with nothing to do during the day--but life has just been crazy this week, in and out of the office. I do have pics from the weekend (Bon Jovi, etc.) but, I am using Ben's camera (which is on loan to me) and I don't have the USB cord so I have been unable to upload the pics. I'll swing by his place this weekend and do it so I can post them.
And hey! 2 weeks till the Girls take Manhattan! Very excited!!! Now those are going to be some interesting pictures.....

Ta-daaaaaaa!Whadduya think? Fancy, huh? Much more me, I think. Few little glitches to iron out, but that shouldn't be a problem.
Now, my apologies for not posting any adventures lately, but as many of you know, nothing overly exciting has happened lately besides my birthday--and I haven't posted that since I lost my camera.....oh well, I'm surprised I had it for an entire 3 months before breaking or losing it! I am rather proud of myself. Tita should have some photos, and if she ever e-mails them to me, I'll post those. I'll have something next week--we've got Bon Jovi tomorrow night! If I can smuggle in a video camera, perhaps I can post a boot-legged version of "Wanted Dead or Alive"--the greatest song ever.
Anywhos, tell me what you think--I am open to any and all suggestions!
xoxo,
Freckles

I'm working on something fabulous!Just wait....so excited! :)
Friday, January 27, 2006
“I don’t want to talk about it….”Yup, it’s here. I’m not liking this “aging” thing. Dinner last night was “freakin’ awesome” though. Thanks for everything Kristen and Gabri! You guys put on one helluva dinner party! From Grey Goose to Thai food--it was a really enjoyable evening.
Anyways, here’s a re-cap of my morning thus far:
6:32am Woke up with a dull headache (I say headache, you say hangover….whatever)
6::33am My punkin gave me 100 kisses and sang Happy Birthday to me. So sweet :)
6:36am Showered
6:38am Allison came into the bathroom threatening to “vomit” because she didn’t feel well. (“I feel like I’m going to vomit. I don’t think I can make it to school today.”)
6:39-6:40am Assured Allison that she would live through this “spell” as she hung her head in the toilet bowl spitting while making fabricated vomiting sounds.
6:47am Exited shower
6:48am Went into my room to moisturize to find a mosquito in my room. A huge one. I mean, seriously, it's freakin JANUARY…only in Miami.
6:49am Put on my Tutti Dolce Apple Torta Body Soufflé (best stuff EVER). Felt fabulous.
6:52am Went from feeling fabulous to feeling something weird on my hindquarters.
6:52:30am Realized the mosquito had bitten my hindquarters.
6:53am Vowed revenge
6:54am Went to the bathroom to apply makeup.
6:54:12am Realized I went to the bathroom to apply makeup with mosquito in tow.
6:54:26am Called the mosquito an as*shole.
6:54:38am Cornered the mosquito and slapped him, then flattened him.
6:54:40am Said “That is what you get for being an a*shole.”
6:54:41am Congratulated myself.
7:00am Ready to conquer 28.
7:01am Decided to treat Allison and myself to Starbucks for my birthday.
7:11am Walk into Starbucks to find the Barista mopping up Mocha at the front door.
7:11:10am Look over to see Florence’s son covered head to toe in Mocha.
7:11:15am Felt bad for Florence’s son.
7:11:20am Laughed when I saw Florence’s face
7:15am Thought Alex was a crazed rapist when he jumped out of his car to wish me a Happy Birthday in front of Starbucks.
7:59am Arrived at the office.
8:01am Got to my office door to find my door gift wrapped.
8:02am Opened my office door to find 300 balloons and graffiti all over my windows.
8:05am Got lots of presents from my co-workers. Yay!
8:10am Sliced my finger open while cutting my bagel with a plastic knife from Starbucks (no, I am so not kidding)
8:20am Received a bottle of Grey Goose from the CFO. Awesome. Things are lookin’ up!
8:45am Received flowers from Espee. Very pretty. Made me happy.
8:50am Went to Robert’s office to get a file
8:51am Tripped over the cords for Robert’s speakers while leaving, only to send his speakers, monitor, and all of his office supplies crashing to the ground.
8:52am Apologized, called myself a dumba*s and walked out while being laughed at.
I’m not sold on 28 yet. Perhaps things will get batter. This e-card from Joy helped. And the flowers from Kimmie made me even happier. :)
I’m going to lunch, going home, and then going to the hotel with Big Sis to commence my birthday celebration. See you girls there! Oh, and see you boys tomorrow! xoxoxo
In loving memory of Pepper, a kick a*s dog. We will miss you.

And the official birthday countdown begins!Exactly one week till my 28th...oh God....I didn't really care until I saw it in writing. I suppose I can find solace in the fact that I'm the baby of everyone I know. And, I have a sneaking suspicion that 28 is going to be even better than 27--and 27 was good (for the most part). Big things are going to happen this year...I can just feel it! Oh, and, Ryan is going to be 30 this year. You see? I'm feeling better about 28 already! So, we made some decisions last night: my actual birthday is going to be girls night (yeah, you heard it here first fellas), but Saturday night we'll all go out. (Don't forget my gifts! If you are not sure what to buy me, you can check out my birthday registry on Amazon.com. A big thanks in advance.) My horoscope for the year has me feeling better about 28 as well. The part about waiting to go to another country until the end of the year has me a bit concerned though....we're not flying Chalks to the Bahamas, are we?
Anyways, before I go, I am sure some of you have been anxiously awaiting the results of Tuesday's quiz: "Can you find what is wrong with this picture?" Our winner was.....JOEY! Answer? "Ryan's sporting wood." Ding ding ding! (Those were some pretty funny e-mails Tuesday morning.) Joey didn't actually win anything though because it was a very poorly planned contest. I'll buy you a drink next time you're in Miami. Promise promise. ;) A'iight peeps, I'll let you gets to shoppin'!

A White WeddingHere are some pics from Tammy & Steven's wedding this past Saturday. It was a fantastic party, although I never expect anything less from the Herrera's! Despite the bone chilling weather, and tropical storm force winds, it was SO much fun. Thanks again to Mr. & Mrs. H. for a wonderful party, and for serving us hot chocolate upon departure! And congratulations to Tammy & Steve!! xoxoxo
Uh huh...this is how cold and windy it was. The four of us were seeking salvation in the Women's Locker Room. My feet, or should I say foot, also needed a rest since I severly "jammed" or broke my toe in the hotel room before the wedding. It STILL hurts.
I couldn't resist taking this picture. These two are, AGAIN, rocking out to "Unchained Melody." Please see the picture under Summer's wedding a scene from last Saturday's rousing rendition.
The Baldwins with the Whites!
Me & Kimmie
My peeps
Tammy & DJ
Tammy breakin' it down!
Mr. H. giving a phenomonel performance! It was a little mix of "La Bamba" and "Twist and Shout". Well done, Dad...I was impressed.
