Spontaneous update I guess?

Tuesday Zac Nic and Schmidt came down from Ocean View for the midnight premire of Transformers 2. They spent the majority of the day. We went in the pool and such, and picked up Joey from his mini-band camp, all of us piled into the expedition. We made an energy drink stop at Food Lion and Zac had the people say happy bithday to Jared over the loud speaker, very funny!

Tuesday evening (midnight) Jared, Joey, Zac, Nic, Schmidt and I went to see Transformers Revenge of the Fallen and met a bunch of our friends there.

Won't put any spoilers in here but it's a MUST SEE!!! it's an amazing movie!! I laughed, I cried, I was frightened, I was surprised. IT WAS AWESOME!! 2 thumbs up

and Megan Fox was as sexy as ever.. why can't I be her?

After that we all had a mini-adrenaline rush and couldn't sleep. I didn't fall asleep until like, 4 AM. There was a ton of Call of Duty 4 being played in the Cavalluzzo household throughout the next day.

Wednesday was JARED'S BIRTHDAY!! I had to work, though! :( And none of us woke up until noon-ish due to being up so late the night before. We hung out briefly and then I got summoned to Goin' Nuts Cafe.. haha.

Thursday I spent the day getting ready for Olde Hope on Friday. I lounged Callie and gave her a bath (which later felt pointless because she was covered in poop Friday when I took her off the trailer). Then I went grocery shopping with the Pino family! It was interesting, of course.

Friday being the day of my horse event I woke up around 9 (which is amazingly late for most horse shows) and headed to Jens. We got to Olde Hope around 1, and I had to scrub Callie a bit more since she was so disgusting. I got her semi-cleaned up, but her and every other horse there ended up just being DRENCHED in sweat because it was blazing hot out.

All in all, she was very well behaved. Had a decent dressage score, and went clean for stadium and cross country jumping. Got 5th out of 13 people, not bad!

Today I hung out with Jared virtually all day. We were at his brothers with his friends in the afternoon, and then came to Easton to have his birthday dinner with MommaT at Annie's in Kent Narrows (THE PLACE WITH THE REALLY GOOD CREAM OF CRAB SOUP YUMMM!).

TOMORROW is my parents 18th wedding anniversary! YAY! They're spending it in Ocean City, which should be a real treat for them considering they hardly EVER do anything other than local dinner for their anniversary. I love you two!!! xoxo

Keyboard Gato?

The Sims 3

Last week my friend who I haven't hung out with in AGES and I went to a movie and had a sleepover. We used to do this every single weekend, for a year or possibly longer. Sleepovers, World of Warcraft, go see movies, and order pizza online... it sounds dull, but we really can turn anything into a good time. It's nonstop laughs when I'm with her (Marisa, for the record. most of you know her as Mish). When we got to her house I saw she got Sims 3 which just had come out like a week before then. She somehow managed to find a download where she could play without a disk, and gave me the disk so I could play.

My graphics card on my Macbook was not up to par for the graphics The Sims 3 requires, so my characters turned out to be black shadows, and the floor tiles would randomly glitch and glow. After much frustration, I just decided to put it on our PC desktop. It runs clean as a whistle, and I'm having a blast with it. It's only a bit different than The Sims 2, you get more customization with the Sims, and everything is basically more detailed (your jobs, your work ethic, school, etc).  Another difference being time will move on without you. Your Sims will age even when you're not playing.

I seriously lose track of time when playing. I think I played for 4 hours straight today or something absurd. I just got off the game like 20 minutes ago, so around 12:45. I planned to get off at midnight. It reminds me of when I first started playing WoW, except WoW requires you to keep track of time in a sense.

I hope this doesn't become another game drug. It's amazing, though. EVERYONE SHOULD PLAY. or something.

Crazy weekend of crazyness and amazing eggsalad

I just have to tell everyone my mom just made the best egg salad in THE WORLD! Holy crap, it's so good. It might be especially good though since I'm super hungry, and my dad keeps putting off when we're gonna go out to lunch. -_-

ANYWAY!

I'm so sad this weekend is over, but I'm still exhausted from it.

I spent the majority of the weekend with my family, momma's side. Aunt Beth, Uncle Dan, Tricia, Cathi, Andrew, Aunt Celine, Uncle Steve, and Leah ALL came down from NY for the graduation party! Many thanks, once again.

Friday we all had pizza at Grandma's, you really can't beat DePietro's NY Pizzeria. Closest thing to NY pizza around here, and it's fabulous.

Saturday was Max and I's graduation party, and it was awesome. I had a lot of last minute bails on my way to the party which kind of was upsetting at first but once everyone began to show up I quickly got over it. Most of the people who showed up are the people who mattered, anyway! Lots of food, lots of fun, and good music (Dakota John played for me, many thanks!) I got a lot of great gifts, and I profusely thank you all for those! And thanks an infinite amount to my awesome mother for slaving over the food and planning of this party, making it amazing, along with my Aunt Margo! :D I'll post the few pictures mom got later.

Sunday I laid out by the pool with my mom for a while, and then went to Ocean City with Leah. We shopped, ate food, played DDR, and rode some rides. It was a lot of fun! We met up with Jared, Zac, and Schmidt later for dinner at Denny's and then went to see The Hangover, which was SO funny! One of the funniest movies I've ever seen, we never stopped laughing! I took Leah home after that (to Grandma's) and went home to chat with Mom and Aunt Beth and then passed out. I got a lot of sleep last night, but I'm still exhausted.

Starting to work a summer work schedule now, working about 4 days a week. Should be good on the pocket, and I'll still get to enjoy my summer. :)

I guess I'll update now. D:

WELL. Honestly not only have I been too lazy to update but not  much has been going on. Oh wait, that's a lie. Let me talk about my event this weekend

Saturday I cleaned the inside of my car, which Dad has been bugging me to do for a while, and then went off to the barn. I decided to jump with Callie that day, and she actually only refused ONCE. I was so happy. (For those of you unaware: Callie had a week or two where she decided jumping was no longer cool/fun and she wanted to refused everything I pointed her at, over and over again..) We even took her out front to the scarier jumps which she hasn't jumped in months. She looked at all of them strangely, but went over all of them! After riding, it was time to bathe the beast. Washing any horse with excessive amount of white is probably more strenuous than washing a car. Cleaning Callie's butt is an entire job in itself.. so dirty. 

Later on Jen ended up using like an entire handful of soap on each of Callie's legs and they were spotless white which has never happened before because I never use that much soap, haha. Guess I'll have to start!

After much preparing all evening (filling water buckets cleaning water buckets putting tack inside the trailer feeding all the horses washing another horse putting the horses out taking the horses back in BLAHBAKSDJFHSADKJFHETC) we finally went inside and put our saddle pads in the wash, and ate dinner. It's practically tradition for Jen to make spaghetti (sketti as we like to call it) when I'm over there to spend the night before a show. It's always so good, too... yum. 

Tried to go to bed early, didn't end up finishing stuff until midnight. Woke up at 4:30, going off of like, two hours of sleep! Loaded Callie and Gulliver and set off to Olde Hope Farms, which is where the particular event we were going to was being held (we normally attend these events, and only sometimes do we go elsewhere). On our way there it was raining the entire time, which was SOOO agitating. We thought it was going to be cancelled, but by the time 9 AM rolled around so did the blue skies. We got there around 8-ish and set off to get our pennys and walk our cross country. Walking cross country is always helpful, but since the ground was wet, and I was wearing my old ragged uggs, it was very sloppy. My entire inside of my boots were SOAKING wet, and my white socks had turned completely black! Nico's feet turned orange because he wore flip-flops that, apparently, turn his feet orange...

Got back to the trailer and sat around only for a few minutes, I lounged Callie and she was decent considering we were away from home and there were more interesting things going on than paying attention to mom. I got dressed, and got on her, and starting warming up for dressage. Everyone began to show up at that point (Jared, his mom, his dad, my mom, dad and brother, and my mom brought Wanda!). Callie was very good throughout warm-up, I was very excited. Went over and watched Nico do his dressage before, and he did well. As we said, his goods were good and his bads were bad. I was up about four people after Nick (Nico, Nicholas.. it's interchangeable, I switch around a lot -_-) and Callie did AMAZING, for Callie, at least. I cried, because I'm a baby. Jen cried too, because it's a big deal for us. Haha.

I ended up getting a 37.37 which was okay. I was aiming for more of a 35 (Lower the better in eventing). The judge I had though really shouldn't be judging!

After dressage we went back to the trailer and I got changed and got Callie changed to get ready for cross country/stadium. I was a complete nervous wreck on the inside before both, just because Callie's been refusing lately. Other then that, I would've been fine. Stadium was first, and Callie refused the first jump. But instead of getting excited, I took a deep breath and pointed her at it again, she went over without a problem. She went over the next 5 without a problem, YAY! Same goes for cross country, she jumped everything without hesitation. So aside from her first refusal, her jumping was a success. 

Ended up in fourth place overall, Nick got third. I was pretty happy with it, I normally wind up around sixth-ish. Only getting better!

Jared's dad got some pretty sweet pictures of me jumping/doing dressage here. I know Jen got pictures, but she takes a long time to post them.

All this week I've just been getting ready for my epic GRADUATION PARTAYYYYY on Saturday!

I can't wait!!!

This..

is me updating saying I will be ACTUALLY updating within a day or two.

I've had the time, but I've been sleeping a lot. So really I haven't had the time, or just flat out haven't felt like updating.

BUT I WILL
