Thursday::
worked. then it was to downtown willoughby for round one of Ashley's birthday festivities. it was a fun night. and a hilarious one too.

worked- which was the weirdest day ever. then did absolutely nothing. I was in bed at like 930 I was so exhausted. (Ashley's birthday, and my cousin Hayley)

Saturday::
worked. then attended "I Never Saw Another Butterfly" play at our local theater. Allison's younger siblings starred in the play, and they all did awesome. after that it was to Hooley House for possibly my favorite drink ever- Baked Apple Raspberry Ale. YUM! then back to downtown willoughby for round two of Ashley's birthday festivities. Thursday seemed to go by so slow, but Saturday night flew by. I think my favorite moment was when Chicken Fried played in a bar called Mullarkey's, which you better believe we sang along as loud as we could.

Weekend Update - Maple Festival

shenanigans ;; I... ;; YOLO

Chardon has a Maple Festival every year on the town square. it's always a good time, but brings a lot of traffic to the town, which can be stressful. also, the coffee shop where I work is on said town square.

Friday::
I worked 2-11. we were SLAMMED. but things ran smoothly, thankfully. my feet were killing me afterwards so it was home to bed I went.



Saturday::
I walked around the Maple Fest with Randy and Melissa for a bit, helped out at Beans a little, and then I was called in to start work a bit earlier than expected. I didn't mind though, I was already there anyways. it was another extremely busy and late night. I was exhausted afterwards but a big thanks to Al, Wilkes, and Henry, whom helped make both days go by nice and smooth. laughing with them made it way less stressful than it could have been.

I love festival lemonade! YUM!

Sunday::
I thought about heading back up to the fest for a gyro or something but it rained all day. bummer. so instead I watched some Arrested Development and Food Network. ending the night with some Celebrity Apprentice.


I haven't linked-up for the awesomeness that is 5forFive lately, I think it's time to bring it back.

Saturday::
worked. then a much needed girls night in. Ashley and Erin came over and we j chilled in my basement, talking, looking through high school year books, and watching Food Network, SNL, and Pawn Stars. while snapchatting pictures of ourselves to each other. yepp. that's how a twenty-three year old and two twenty-two year olds spent their Saturday night. but my excuse is that there was too much snow to venture anywhere. and my Philly Flyers killed the Panthers.

Weekend Update - Fifty

Friday::
I opened Beans Coffee Shop, which meant getting up at 4:45am. I'm so not a morning person. after a long day of work it was home to relax. I planned on just having a quiet night at home and crash out early, but then I got a phone call from Gram. she picked up a router, and a few other items, and was wondering when I could hook it up for her. so instead of a quiet night at home I got, dinner at Bob Evans which was way better than I could've imagined, like it was a great meal for cheap then I hooked up her router so she can get wi-fi for her new Kindle. she was so excited. I gave her a quick tutorial of how to use the Kindle, but it was so late that we called it a night.

Saturday::
I worked 8-230, then it was home to get ready for Mr. Lear's surprise 50th birthday party that's Melissa's dad. the party was in CLE at the House of Blues, we had a private room, it was so much fun. afterwards we wandered to the casino for a bit and a few other bars before finishing the night at Melissa's co-worker's apartment. overall it was a really fun night.

How was your weekend??

Weekend Update - LaneVisitsOU2012

normally I give a pretty detailed explanation of what occurred over my weekend. but this weekend was just too much to put into words... in a good way. I went down to Ohio University with Erin and Diana to help Tim celebrate his birthday. I seriously had an awesome weekend.

Friday night we hit up the bars, and because my neighbor//friend goes to OU and works at one of the bars I got all my drinks for free. it was epic.

Saturday we went to a house party and the bars, after getting a little tour from Tim and his sisters. at the party the four of us jammed out to Chicken Fried - Zac Brown Band. that's our group song, we sing it as loud as we possibly can. I lost my voice. but I have to say it was after the party//bars that was really fun. myself, Erin, and Diana were all laying on the air mattress when Tim got home -wasted- and he just dove right on top of us, it was hilarious.. I think it was one of those you had to be there moments. then his roommate decided to do the same while Tim was still on us, it was funny.. even though we were getting crushed.

this is Tim after he got off of us, and passed out like that. I think this explains how the weekend went. there's other pictures that I don't have access to at the moment, but if I get access I will share.

Tim and I both spent our birthday weekend filled with as much alcohol as we could possibly consume.. it was awesome!

11/26-12/2 Goals

1:: get my car e-checked.

2:: get my license plate stickers renewed.

okay, so most of those I either had to do (like get my e-check and the license plate stickers and pack for OU) and the others weren't hard to complete. this week I'll try to push myself more.

1:: send out Christmas cards.

2:: laundry, laundry, laundry.

3:: dust my room.

4:: drink 2 tumblers of water everyday.

Weekend Update - Gobble Gobble

Thursday::
started off by not sleeping and going to K-mart for a pre-Black Friday sale. from that it was home to sleep for 2 hours before playing in the annual Turkey Bowl game. the Turkey Bowl is always a fun time, one of my most favorite traditions.

the gang.

after playing football it was home to get ready for Thanksgiving dinner, and catch another hour of sleep -that's three hours total so far. Dinner was at Mos parents house, and it was delish! another great turkey day with the family. after stuffing my face, and finalizing plans for Black Friday, Mo and I left dinner to get our shopping on.. I don't typically buy a lot on BF I just go to help Mo get things for my little cousins.. but occasionally I'll find a sweet deal on something.

Friday::
carrying over, we shopped until 7am.. that would make being up for 46 hours with only 3 hours of sleep, a new personal best for me. we got everything we wanted, as always. we're self proclaimed professional BF shoppers.. although we should be nationally recognized for it.. BFP (Black Friday Professionals). I meant to bring my flip so I could capture some of the ridic moments but I forgot, naturally. but I did get some great deals. I scored:: a tv for Gram, a few items for my cousins, a small but cool item for Mom, and even a few things for Melis. after hours of shopping it was home to sleep. the rest of the day I just lounged in sweats and watched Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Four Christmases, and Fred Claus. I was still exhausted.

Saturday::
BUCKEYE NATION!! my Buckeyes defeat the team up north to finish with an undefeated season!! O-H!! UrbanRenewal. BuckeyeNation. SilenceTheDoubters.
other than 'the game' I didn't do much. it's just Mom and I for the weekend, all the boys went down to southern Ohio for more hunting.

Sunday::
YEA BROWNIES!! my Browns beat the Steelers!!!!! enjoyed watching that victory, and then enjoyed dinner at Mangia Mangia. it was delish, I got the chicken madison -chicken with mushrooms in a white wine sauce.. kinda like chicken marsala but even better. and then Mom and I stopped at DQ to get a birthday cake for me.

elf-style at DQ.
