Oh hai, there! I'm still alive!

Wow. I haven't updated in forever. I've determined I really, truly suck at this blog thing. But seriously, does anyone read this crap anyway? Who really gives a damn if I'm checking things off my Day Zero list? Right?? Ahh well, I'll update anyway because I have some big news to blog about.

For starters...where the hell am I in the Day Zero List?

14. Go to Disneyworld! Checkity, Check, Check, CHEEEECKKK! Done and done! Seriously, check this out, I have the picture to prove it!  There's me and the hubs in front of the Magic Kingdom!

The trip was amazing! Doug has now popped his Disney cherry! It was great to experience his first trip to the Happiest Place on Earth with him. He was so stinking excited about being there!  Maybe some day soon, if I don't want to ignore my blog, I will actually give a recap of our trip....including the drive down during Hurricane Earl all the way to to drive home and why I hate the New York Giants.

#40 Attend a Broadway Play.

Soo, I didn't exactly go to NYC to attend a Broadway play, but sometimes, Broadway plays go on tour and come to Boston! So, I went to see Wicked at the Boston Opera House. It was some amazingly hysterically funny. I hadn't been to a play in such a long time and to see the prequel to the Wizard of Oz was pretty damn cool.  That witch that we all love to hate, yeaah...makes me mad that you can't really hate her once you learn her backstory. Also, the Wizard of Oz never leads you to believe that Glinda is an obnoxiously funny PITA type of chick that I've always despised. However, she was the absolute bees-knees in the play. Seriously, she made the play.

Can we just talk about one scene, the one where Elphaba and her lovebug run away together and their in the forest? That was without a doubt the most awkward sitch I've ever been in. I felt awkward for them they way they were rubbing each other. It was not sexy at all. It was kind of like "um...I find you repulsive, however, if I don't do what the director told me to do, then I won't get paid - so, please don't mind me as I run my hands up and down you while we sit center stage. Just ignore these people checking out the awkward moment we're having."

But other than that awkwardness - for real, if you haven't seen Wicked you need to go see it. It was WICKED awesome! HAH

74. Buy Our Home!

DONE!!  It's been a long, emotional, roller coaster ride for the last 2 years, but we have finally purchased my Grandparents house. I really, really, REALLY couldn't be happier right now.  Honestly, this is the ONE single dream I've had my ENTIRE life that I've never given up on. I've dreamt of becoming a lawyer - who knows if I'll ever do that. I've dreamt of traveling the world - there's no money for that.  I've dreamt up tons of crazy goals and dreams...but this is the only one I've ever had that I truly felt like I needed to fight for and accomplish.  I still can't believe it's "our house". 

I'm going to make a completely separate post about the renovations we're planning. So, stay tuned.

Name Changes suck-kah-kahhh

I did most of the necessary name changes the week we came back from our honeymoon. But, there's still a few stragglers that need to be updated (Goal #60: Change my name with several places I haven't changed with). One, was the bank account I opened when I first started working.  I decided to tackle that task on Wednesday. HOWEVER, Ma Dukes name is on the account - and they can't officially change my name until she signs some document saying she agrees to it. Say what? Um...it's a done deal. I'm married, my name changed, you have the legal documents, what the hell does Ma Duke have to do with it??  So now, I pretty much have zero access to that account until the paperwork goes through. Paperwork doesn't go through until Ma Dukes signs the document. Knowing Ma Dukes, that document is never getting signed. Awesome.

I also changed my name on my health insurance (BTW, WTG Talbots! You update my information with my dental insurance, but not my health insurance? You're stupid) and my online pharmacy! Yay for drugs!

AND - Operation, Date night with Hubby once a month (Goal #74) was on Sunday night.  We went to the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate our birthdays. Let me tell you, White Chocolate Rasberry Cheesecake, the hubby and the Colts and Saints in the superbowl are pretty damn good birthday gifts. Happy Birthday to ME! Can't wait for the game next weekend!
