I remember getting really, really drunk there. Oof.
me
Thanks for inviting us!
me
After the show we hopped into a cab and headed over to...
me
It was circus-themed so they had giant bags of peanuts for sale. Mmmm, peanuts.
me
Haha. Never in my life did I think I'd be holding a Britney Spears concert ticket.

When you can't decide, get all three.

That guy on the right had no idea about our boners.

Only to run into the real McCoy moments later.

Orchard benches!
me
Thanks so much for letting me crash at your place, Ellen! Love you!
me
Tuesday, 7:45am. Day two of our off-site.
me
Sometimes you get a glimpse into a crazy sub-culture that you've never heard of that has a ton of gear and products and culture and you're just like WHAT? SERIOUSLY? After we'd finished grilling Danielle about her tanning/lotion-collection obsession, we all started asking her questions about her past and where she grew up.
me
I said my farewell, and left Tarrytown to head back to Ellen's house....
me
Awww. Look at her little bologna tongue! I was saying goodbye to Maddy because I had to attend an off-site for Yodle up in West Chester super-early the next morning. Ellen invited me to crash at her place because she lives right near there! Yay!
me
Dana painted a portrait of Edie and Edie got her very own portrait t-shirt!

Haha.

Around 6pm we decided to pack it in for the day.

Mer and me.

...and then Pauly came and joined us!

Family portrait!
me
I laughed so hard I was crying. Thumbs up for BALD SKINHEAD WIG! Awesome present, Doug!
me
Omg, putting this thing on was like torture. It was pulling my hair so hard.
me
...BALD SKINHEAD WIG!
me
This is what time I woke up the next day. Ooof. Thanks for an amazing birthday, everybody!
me
4:30am last of the party! Thanks so much for hosting my party, guys. I had a wonderful time!

Doug came back from visiting his sister up in Boston just in time for my birthday! AWESOME!

Seth and Deborah were in town from Boston and came!

A little after 11pm, we all met back up and hopped on the L train out to Williamsburg...
me
A little after 5pm, we decided to pack it in (wanted to make sure I had time for a nap before my birthday party!).

And a fancy coffee maker? What? I was confused. After Meredith was done chuckling at my confusion, she explained that these weren't birthday presents for me, they were WEDDING PRESENTS off of our registry.
me
I saved the two biggest boxes for last. The first turned out to be a rice cooker. Hey, what kind of birthday present is this?
me
Grinder! (Not the app! I swear!)
me
At midnight it was officially my 33rd birthday and therefor time to open presents!
me
Me and Mer. Thanks for all the presents, lady! Look at Maddy gazing up at Meredith with total adoration. I love how she's squeezed herself in between us.
me
It wasn't long before we started going on two at a time and seeing how we could bounce each other.
me
Even the pool can't tame Geordon's majestic hair. It just wants to be free.

Steering a paddle boat is not easy.

Preparing for launch.

No small feat for such a big group! (This group, in particular)

I ran into Andy on the dance floor! Are you a doctor yet?
me
Me, Sophia and Leigh.
me
Family portrait.
me
Aw, yeah! Let's hear it for the auto-timer camera set atop the TV so I could join the photo!
me
I left Aziza's after-work party to hang out with Rachael. I told Aziza to text me if they ended up in the East Village. She texted me at 3am and I totally...
me
Me and the birthday girl!
me
Later that night we met up with David on the street and went to dinner! Meredith snapped this picture of us right after we all met up on the street. Love it so much.
me
Well, it didn't make me gag, but I didn't exactly enjoy it either. It tastes like salty licorice with a hint of bathroom cleaner. (Holy shit, it actually does have ammonia in it!
me
Mmmmm...shitty boardwalk pizza.
me
Awesome day at the beach.
me
The kid with the family next to us decided to help me dig and Meredith took this photo laughing about me digging in the sand with a ten year old. Haha.
me
Yo, but check out our trench! And check out all them dry towels!
me
A couple of minutes later the water filled the trench and I had to dig it out a bit.
me
Transfer to the A at Broadway Junction. The connecting hallway between stations has stain glass windows.
me
Water and weird experimental snack purchase? Check! (Burger King Ketchup & Fries? WTF?)
me
Or, rather, Doug politely laughed while I played Guitar Hero. Haha.
me
What can I say? I guess it was a Jodeci July.
me
Me either.
me
Me and the birthday girl!
me
Around midnight we headed out...
me
Nom nom.
me
Time to go.
me
Leigh ability to dance in those shoes is almost impressive as my Jodeci coldlamp.
me
I had to cheat and use the camera to shadow my eyes. Haha.
me
My eyes are so sensitive to light that it's hard for me to not squint even with my eyes closed!
me
Jaunty man of science!
me
Went for it.
me
It's true.
me
I never fuck with the buffet straight off the bat. You gotta start with a speed bump (salad).
me
Later that night we piled into two cars and headed out for dinner. Those expressions can only mean one thing! My favorite restaurant...
me
We also had Edie with us! Edie enjoys being in a bag!
me
Their building's elevator was clearly designed for blue-eyed people.
me
After lunch, we stopped in Rite Aid and I ran away to the treat section looking for good ice pops. Can't choose?
me
Plus the waitress took this nice photo of us.

Me and my boo.

Me and Amanda.
me
Me and Mer.
me
We rented a car and picked up Murdo on our way heading north to Salisbury, CT.
me
Meredith was ordering our wedding rings online, but before she could place the order, we needed to get my ring size. So after work we met up at Kmart and got my finger sized in the jewelry department. Fucking hippy.

Who's happy summer's here? THIS GUY!

Saying goodbye to the groom!

Everyone lean in!

All dressed up!

We loaded up the family party van...

This fucking guy.

I had off work on Monday so Meredith and I decided to hop on the subway and to the magical faraway land of...

Noooooooo!
