For years I've been saying I was going to get a tattoo. Well I finally did it last week, and I love it! I went with a co-worker and we got inked together. So here's the pic...
It's on my left hip, and is obviously a sun, but the writing is in Italian (Alla Luce Del Sole) which means by the light of the sun. It's a song I absolutely love and the English translation of the song has a lot of meaning for me, and relates to something I'm going through at this time in my life. Shhhh don't tell my parents, lol...

I have a serious addiction to coffee, so much so it is not even funny.You know its serious when they know you at 2 different Starbucks locations and Gloria Jeans. So when I saw this quiz I had to take it...and what do you know, its my usual!

Mocha Frappuccino

Hyper and driven, you'll take your caffeine any way you can get it. Frappuccinos are good, but you'd probably chew coffee beans in a crunch!

Ok, so I totally forgot that I even have a blog! How sad is that? Of course one would have to actually have a life to be able to post anything! So whats new? Not much, I still hate my job, and the job hunt has come up with nothing. On the plus side my dad is doing better and gets to start another round of radiation.

Amy and I went to the Josh Groban concert in Albany July 28th and had an awesome time! I will admit we got lost once, but managed to fix the situation without stopping for directions! Our seats rocked and I had a clear view of him, unlike the Rochester concert. Not only did he rock, he was hilarious as well. I got to drool over Josh while Amy fell in love with the guitarist from Angelique's band! During the encores I was able to sneak past security and made my way to the bottom of the stage along with some other fans, I was so close it was amazing! I was so close to him I could see the sweat bead off his forehead...yeah...I know, its official, I'm obsessed! Here are a few of the photos I took, and a short video of him singing Awake that I took at the edge of the stage.

I thought when I got my new computer I would be posting more, but I guess I thought wrong. I've been so busy with work and helping my dad out that I haven't had much time to even think about the blog... Hmmm lets see what has happened since the last post. Nothing much at work, just long hours and being screamed at and told off by the girls. My boss gave me a new project to work on. Because of my library experience, I'm now in charge of ordering books that would get them to read, and I'm also heading up a teen book discussion group with them once a month. I thought this might be a somewhat fun project seeing as I miss my job at the library (never thought I'd say that!). However it is a lot harder, and more work then I thought it would be. And get this, I'm not getting paid extra or given time to do it at work, I have to do this on my days off (when I get them). Oh well...I like to think of is as a challenge.

In the last post I mentioned if Josh Groban ever came anywhere near Rochester again I'd go seem him...Yep I am. I was bored at work yesterday and while sitting in the office decided to look at the tour dates for the 3rd leg of his tour. He's coming to Albany 7/28...so being the pathetic person I am had to buy tickets! This time Amy is coming with (woohoo road trip!) and we have better seats then I had in Rochester. Center seats on the floor! The only thing I'm worried about is getting there. Since the last time Amy and I set out to drive somewhere unknown it was the drive-in and we did the worlds biggest U-turn :0) lol, ahhh good times...

I finally got to see the great Josh Groban live!! He came to the Blue Cross Arena March 10th. As I had mentioned in an earlier post I went with my sister. It was awesome! It was a little tense in the beginning because we got there late due to unreal traffic (backed up on 490 and put downtown Rochester in complete gridlock!). Luckily he had an opening act, so we didn't miss him. Jenn and I had dinner then headed to the Arena. Parking was unreal as well, the civic center parking garage was filled by the time we finally got in. We found a small spot and my sister parked my small car in it, scratching my front bumper. But I'll take a couple scratches for the love of Josh. He was on stage for 2 hours singing 20 songs, most from his new album Awake (everyone should buy it!) and melted everyone with his amazing voice. I bought a large poster and a program full of beautiful pictures. I can definitely say that I'm going again if he come anywhere close to Rochester.

I've done it, started looking for apartments. Mostly in the city, and the Park Ave area. I can't live with my mother anymore. Everyday is a fight and she's making my life hell. She has to point out on a daily basis that I have no social life or boyfriend and I just can't take the criticizing anymore.

We found out a month ago that my dad's cancer has spread. He starts his chemo and radiation treatments next week. I don't think that has really hit us yet. All I know is I can do without all this drama, I get more than enough drama at work, now it follows me home. I'm thinking it might have been a bad time to stop taking the Prozac. Right now my therapy is a quiet room and some Josh Groban music. Can't wait for the concert only 3 more days!!!!

So I've been listening to the new Josh Groban CD for a week now, and I'm completely in love with it. It has forced me to go back and listen to his last 2 CDS that I own and haven't listened to in a while. I got talking to my sister the other day about it. She made some comment about him coming to Rochester on his Awake tour. I did some research and found out that he is coming to the Blue Cross Arena March 10th. Of course I have to go, but the question is who do I drag with me....Since my sister is the only other person close to me who actually likes Josh Groban she volunteered to go, or did I tell her she was going? I can't remember, so anyway after work today I stopped at the BCA to buy the tickets. They didn't have that many left so I'm glad I went when I did. I now get to see him in person, I'm so psyched! Wow I'm such a loser, I know I'll be the first to admit it!
