Down to the wire

I'm happy to report that we'll be leaving in 5 days 14 hours and 35 minutes for Canada! Can you tell we need this vacation? Work has been beyond stressful for the two of us. We both keep telling each other that we may not come back.

There is still so much I have to get done before we leave. I took a half day on Sunday so we can get a head start to Montreal. But I have to make sure we have all our stuff packed and ready to go by no later than Friday. We're going to see The Dangerous Summer in concert Saturday night so there will be no last minute packing on that day. I'll get out of work at 11 AM Sunday so Ben said he'd be at my house when I get out so we can leave.

Poor Ben has a late night game launch tonight so I only got to see him for about an hour for dinner. He'll get out at 1:30 AM and then has to work early in the morning. He's going to be so tired! At least he has off Wednesday and most of Thursday. Early Thursday morning he has to help with an inventory in Bridgewater I think. I'm also off on Thursday so we can finish up any last minute things before we leave. As long as we have our money and passports and the clothes on our backs we're set! Haha if only it were that easy!

Ben's really getting excited to leave the country. I hope he loves it as much as I do up there. It's going to be such a nice romantic getaway for the two of us. I can't begin to explain how excited I am that I get to spend an entire week with my honey! Just the two of us and the open road...adventure awaits...

Bruised and weary

So in exactly two weeks Ben and I will be in Montreal!! Can't wait! Anyway, this week was pretty damn busy and exhausting. As I said, I was going to go to Mayhem Festival on Wednesday. I did "technically" get out of going with my ex. Ben knew a guy who won VIP tickets and wanted someone to go with them. I was able to get my friend Carrie to take my seat with my ex and I went with mystery man Mike. We did all ride together though which was beyond awkward.

My ex is quite the spiteful bastard. Not only was he on the phone to his Florida slut with all of us in the car, he disappeared for most of the day. It doesn't bother me that he has someone, it bothers me that he tries to rub that in my face. I would never have Ben call me just so he could be tortured to hear our conversation. I couldn't even imagine if it actually ended up being just him and I going to that concert. He probably would have just left me to fend for myself. At least Carrie, Mike and I all stuck together until the end when we had to go to our seats. We also drank entirely too much before we went into the concert. Between the two guys and myself we drank an entire bottle of rum. Mike was also taking percocet so that was really safe with all the booze we had. That's alright his seats were tenth row, so do whatever. I enjoyed the show and also got to see my other friend Mike who I had no idea was going.

Ben and I went to dorkfest in Connecticut this past weekend. We went after work on Friday and left this morning. That was a tiring weekend! There were about 40 people at this and I think most of us were completely obliterated. Ben and I drank sooo soo much! I haven't been that drunk in years. We both got sick but so did a bunch of others. I felt bad for Ben because he felt much worse than I did on Saturday. He was more headachey and I had a sour stomach. I didn't realize until we got back how bruised I really got. Did I mention we got to sleep in tents in the unusually cold 50 degree nights? The first night wasn't too terrible because we were wasted and didn't realize how uncomfortable sleeping on the ground really was haha. I'm glad the weekend is over though. This gathering was a whole group of people who post on this Internet forum. So I was the only "outsider" and that did make it pretty awkward. Also, we've come to the conclusion not to drink for a long LONG time! I'm going to wrap this up because I'm looking forward to sleeping in a real bed :)
