Wow, how much biotchness can one person exude?! Well, obvioulsy more than I expected. I, of course, am talking about myself. I have been in such a mood all week. I'm not really even sure why, I just know I have not been the nicest person and I've had terrible mood swings. I know, "it's that time", and I'm sure, yes, that's part of it, but usually I hate me when I'm like this and so I change it fairly quickly, but this week, not so much. It seems like and yes, I mean, seems like, everything is going wrong, and I know in my head that's not the case, but try telling that to my moods! LOL
I was upset last night, mad actually, and I tried not to be, but the worse it got, so yes, I cried. I HATE when I get like that. I don't want to cry and yet, that's what I did. My friends saw me and were like, what's wrong? I lied and said I had gotten bad news! LOL But no, of course I didn't tell them what the bad news was. No, in reality, I did get some bad news yesterday, but nothing that required tears.
I do hope this cranky-ness passes soon, and I'm sure all my friends wish it would pass soon than that!

Summer 2007
June 1 - August 14, 2007
The oh so fabulous life and times of Sundria, right?! LOL, yeah, I guess so. Have to say, starting off, that when I blog, I blog the interesting stuff, not the nights I sit at home watching TV and munching on sunflower seeds. I do that way more than you all think I do and I'm sure by my blogs it seems that I am out every night partying like a rock star, but trust me, that's not the case. But I do know that people don't want to read about the night I found the stamps I had purchased 4 months ago and couldn't locate. While exciting for me, I'm thinking you all wouldn't care about that. I had a friend recently, she knows who she is, say to me that my lifestyle was a bit out there. I was quite taken aback thinking that someone would think I had changed that much and that I'm not me anymore. I just have more opportunities to do way more stuff, just because of the nature of the city in which I live. Does that make sense? I am still the same Sundi that I have always been, but I have had more experiences since moving here. I've met tons more people of all different races and cultures and I'm just trying to take as much of it in and learn more about people and places and things that I never had exposure to before. I decided when I moved here I wasn't going to let opportunities pass me by. If I can go and do, then I will go and do. I know to some that makes me a party animal, but trust me, that makes me no more of a wild child or party girl that I was in Nashville, Jacksonville, yes, but Nashville, no! LOL ;-) So now in answer to your questions, no, I have not traded God in for a cult, I have not given up church and I have not turned my back on my core beliefs and thrown all that out the window. I am Christian now and forever and still believe 100% in that and share that as much as I can in all situations I can.
So, now onto the blog….
Had a promotion party to go to one night after work, at the Paris Café, what an awesome place. It's down at the Seaport and it's one of those place where the fishermen would go after their night shifts. They would have happy hour/food specials, like burgers and the like at 8am, because for the fisherman, that was/is their 5:00. They don't do as much now, because they've moved the fish market uptown, but it's still happening a little. So, it was a cool place to go and learn about.
We had book club at Fern's house and no, I didn't read the book! LOL It was Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, or something like that. They all loved the book and I loved the food Fern had. She made recipes from the book and it was awesome. We had nice discussions about how we live now, food wise, compared to back in the day. Very interesting how we have had changed as a country. No fruit is out of reach, really, no matter what time of year. One major question, should we limit ourselves to what's available here and now, rather than import. Support the local farmers by eating what they have for us. Interesting thoughts.
Movie night with the friends was great, we saw Waitress, cute movie and I just LOVED Andy Griffith in it. Very good movie and the crew had a blast. We had to sit in separate rows, so 4 in front, 4 in back and at some point there was popcorn and M&M's thrown from row to row! =) But no, we did not disturb the movie. =)
I have numerous dinners with my boys. The best ones lately have been when we all go to Daniel's and just cook out and sit around. It's so much better than a restaurant. You can talk to everyone and actually hear what the other is saying and the food is always better and it's WAY cheaper. So, for my birthday that's what we did. Grant it, it was the hottest day of the year, and we were in the backyard, but it was still way better than a crowded restaurant. I had a wonderful bday with the boys and my Gateway crew did a dinner at Paul and Teresa's for me too and it was awesome. I just love my peeps.
The Lake has become my weekend home! =) It's been so wonderful and I've spent so many weekends out there. It's been a quiet summer, as far as visitors go, so it's mainly been just me and P&B. My Gateway crew did come out one Saturday and we grilled and swam and just had the best time. The dogs had so much fun. Hunter is such a water dog! I'm hoping we can plan another weekend for that too, I think everyone had a great time.
Teresa had her friend Brent in town and the three of us hung out on a Saturday just tooling around the city. What a great day that was, but they walked my legs off! LOL, OK, they will say I did that to them, but really, who do you believe?! ;-) It was so great to finally get to hang out with Brent and get to know him. He's just the best and so awesome, I'm ready for him to move here!
I've done a little cooking at P&T's, but not as much as usual. It's just been crazy, all the stuff going on, but hopefully we can get back to that. I miss hanging with them as much. Now that summer is on the backside, maybe we can pick that up again. We have still been doing Sunday night bible study at their house, but I'm always just coming in from the lake or we have been out of town and all that jazz.
Oh, I went to this cool place called Camille Street Café with John and what a great place. Cool atmosphere. The food was good, not fabulous, but it was still cool to go. It was also in a great neighborhood.
Went to Carne Vale, a Brazilian restaurant. It was my Timmy's birthday, my other southern sister. Great food, but the service, sucky! I know it was probably one of those places that was all about the atmosphere, but I sure would have enjoyed that atmosphere way better had I not been starving! LOL
Oh, guess what? Yep, ended up in the ER one night. Not sure what happened, but I was there for about 6 hours. They did all kinds of tests and couldn't find anything, but they did give me pain meds which helped so much. It was what I call the sweet blanket of love, Morphine! LOL I told the doctor how much I loved him and would gladly marry him for what he did for me! ;-) What a night that was though, having never been in an ER as a patient or really with anyone else, that I can remember, it was a crazy night. When I heard the nurse telling one patient that the reason her legs looked like that was because she shot up in her legs rather than other places, I knew it was going to be crazy. It was like she was giving her tips on the best places on your body to shoot up, so it doesn't make you look bad! LOL There was also this guy who had been in an accident and he was telling everyone he was going to kick their arses and kill them and beat them up! LOL, needless to say, it didn't take long to see that yes, he was SO intoxicated and they gave him something to relax him and let him sleep. It was an interesting night and one I don't want to repeat anytime soon.
After recovering from all that mess, things were looking up, so I went to the lake that weekend and had some dinners with friends.
For 4th of July our Gateway crew had a party and invited lots of people from the building and some work friends. It was a GREAT party. It rained so we couldn't go out on the Esplanade like we wanted, but we moved it in to P&T's house and had a great time in spite of the rain. We ran down when they started the fireworks and they were so awesome, not the Macy's awesome, but awesome nonetheless! ;-) Go Jersey!
Laura Fulcher, still can't get used to her new name. ;-) Anyway, she came to town and met up with Bryon and me. We took her and showed her some of the "highlights" of the town and then went to dinner at Zen Palate. I think she had a great time. God knows Bryon and I loved seeing her.
I, of course, went to see the new Harry Potter movie with Bryon, Darlene and Jonathan. We had a blast and Bryon and I, with our accents, entertained the whole place. About a week later Darlene, Madeline, Jonathan and I went to the midnight sale of the new Harry Potter book. OMG, what a great book and we had a blast at the party. Acting like children, but it was so fun.
Debbie W, Mitzi and Corey came to town and we had such a nice time. I took them to Vynl, Angelo's and Calle Ocho for all our various food needs and I think they were very happy with my choices. We also saw Marry Poppins on Broadway, OMG, what a GREAT show! It was unbelievable they way they did the magic, different scenes and the dancing. I highly recommend this show, a MUST see!
My girls, Rachel and Alicia came over, it had been forever since we hung out, so we just ordered food and talked and watched some stuff Alicia had to view for work. One was really cool, it was about a boy becoming a girl and all he was going through, physically and emotionally. Very interesting. Teresa came up and watched that with us too.
We had book club again, this time at Teresa's house and no, I didn't read that book either, but it was interesting to hear about it. It was a classic Hemingway book and some liked it, some hated it, but either way, lots to talk about.
T and I went to Colony Music in Time's Square and I couldn't believe it, but it was T's first time there. She's such a music person, but never knew that was there, so that was a fun night watching her just go gaga over all the music.
I went home to FL for the church's and my daddy's 35th anniversary. It was a wonderful time. Daddy didn't know I was coming until I walked into church on Sunday. He was so excited and happy to see me, as I was him. I got to spend some quality time with the family and with Chris and Laila, oh my what a yummy baby! She's so cute and she loves me! ;-)
I came home for one day and then took off on a trip with some of my friends. We had a WONDERFUL time and it was just great to be with them.
I came back just in time for the birthday celebrating to begin. We all know how I love to celebrate for as long as I can! ;-) I had lunches, dinners, flowers, presents, cards, emails and tons of stuff. What a great birthday. My friends and family rock!
I went to my first Launch party. Sara works for a clothing company/designers and they launched their new line, Jax, and we got to go to the party. It was really cool. I loved it, seeing all the new clothes before they ever hit the stores. So, so, so cool.
Today I got a flower delivery for my birthday! LOL, yep, it was an order that went all wrong and they finally delivered it today! ;-) Totally makes me happy, I have flowers and more celebrating of my birthday, woo hoo!
Ta ta for now my friends…
