My blog was down for quite a while and now I have lots to do to catch up, assuming I will ever catch up, probably not though.

The biggest news right now though is that SU has made it to the Sweet Sixteen and is playing Oklahoma tonight for a spot in the Elite Eight. I can't wait for the game. SU had to sit out the previous two years from the NCAA Tournament because apparently they weren't good enough so I'm happy they're back and doing well, especially after their epic performance in the Big East Tourney, beating UConn in 6 OTs, how could you forget that game??

Stay tuned and cheer for the ORANGE tonight!

Basketball and no babies, yay!

Right now I'm sitting in my office and the fire alarm is going full blast non-stop, just a constant awful noise that is killing my ears. Good thing Jennie put her scarf over the alarm in our office because it's too loud, it's still loud w/ the scarf but blood isn't pouring out of my ears yet.

About 15 min. ago this voice came over the intercom saying there was an emergency and to evacuate so we all took the stairs down the 8 flights, we're on the top, and it was painful for me after my 18.6 mile race yesterday. So we're standing outside watching for the okay to go back in and my boss says he thinks it's okay to go back and he has an important phone call so we all follow him into the elevator as the alarms are still going off and make it to the 8th floor, him assuring us we'll be okay :0) Now I'm in my office and this alarm is still going!!! I'm gonna go deaf!

This was us when we were getting along.

Maybe someday I'll do a 'my life w/ rr' post but it would take lots of time and energy. I can try though.

so the kinda short version that some of you know, i met rr in 8th grade. i moved into his neighborhood and liked him instantly when we met. we didn't go to the same middle school but we did go to the same high school. we had a little silly relationship in 9th grade, a little more serious thing maybe the summer before 10th grade, then we dated other people the rest of high school but i always ran to him when i was in trouble and it caused trouble w/ my relationship w/ ian. in 12th grade we sat next to each other in physics which was weird but okay until i went to his house one night and things got a bit out of hand and i told ian and he told rr to back off and i didn't talk to rr after that but i still had to sit next to him everyday. then one day my dad came home and said he talked to rr and he was going to the same college as me. lovely. so i did run into him in college and one time we even went out to lunch at the end of freshman year. i was still w/ ian at the time, he was still in high school and got some info that rr was a millionaire and freaked out on me that i would leave him for rr. anyway, nothing happened, i went home for the summer. sophomore year i went back to UB and ian came too so now we were all together again. ian and i broke up around the same time rr and i started running into each other more often. so basically when ian and i broke up, i got together w/ rr though he had a gf already, she got the boot. so we basically were together the next 6 years, living together, moved to boston together. we broke up a long time ago, dec 98/jan 99 and didn't speak for a bit after that but eventually we started talking again though we had some trouble because my new boy was jealous and didn't want me to see rr, though somehow everyone got over that because we all eventually hung out along w/ other boys i had after that. rr started dating jenn way back when and we met and somehow we started all hanging out and it's been that way since. i did move away for 4 years for grad school but we still kept in touch all the time then, and now the last 2 years we've lived together. so it's a long weird history and i can fill in more details some other time.
