an apple a day....

does not keep the doctor away...as evidence by the fact that Tony was trying to cut up an apple at work and sliced clean into his muscle...luckily we were at work, so he could get stiches!! 3 of them, but it looks really gross...well it did, it's lookin better now..
again, it has been a long time since i wrote...my apartment has been like a flop house!!!
at one time there were 6 of us in a one bedroom!apartment?!?!
anyway scott and carrie came to see us...and damn it if i can't remember everything that we did...
last saturday is when they arrived ( well friday but we were atwork) so saturday morning we went to the "life is good" pumpkin festival at the boston commons-and it rained the whole time-friggin poured...so we didn't stay there too long...then we headed to cheers-just to use the toliet :) hee hee... after a long, wet walk UPHILL ( sorry carrie) we took a cab to the quincy market to get some food...where i took a great photo of scott posed like a church statue-i'll add all the photos later since i am at work. ( triage night, not too busy)...we hung out at faneil hall and the surrounding shopping area for a bit, then headed home...i think they had fun, although scott was pissed that he missed the pumpkin bomb...some a-hole thought it would be funny to blow up a pumpkin with the crowd around, he was arrested-and it happened before we got there so we had no idea that it even occured...
that night, we went to Bad Abbots, an irish pub, so carrie could hear some moah bahstan accents, but the flippin place was vacant, only like 6 people there...so we had some drinks and went home to have some more...
sunday we headed to the cape, and holy crap it was so cooooollllldddd.(.this was before eric and maria got here with our winter coats.) we were so excited to take them there for the ocean and the shops, and we were going to buy tony's ring, but the store was closed....NUTS!!!

monday we had to work, so scott and carrie were on their own...they took a trolley tour and hung out in the city...
tuesday afternoon, eric and maria arrived, just in time to see me freak out, and for the nor'easter!!!!
carrie and i were on our way to fax in tony and my timesheets, and they blew right out of my pocket!!!WTF...although i didn't know that until i turned my purse inside out, and then raced home and destroyed our place to find them...then tony went outisde to where my car was parked before i left and found them stuck to the fence soaking wet and ripped up :(
carrie and i pasted them together and after all my tears dried we went to fax them...

we all went to salem, but it was cold and rainy and crappy out, so we didn't stay long...we headed home and to dinner, which was also crap but at least i got to see carrie get tor' up!!! let me tell you...that girl never drinks, and when she does, it is funny....
after we got home, we got ready and headed out to some bars...one that was supposed to be "punk rock and live music" turned out to be a dude at the bar with a mullet and all the patches in the world on his coat...ranging from a dixie flag to ozzy... ..nice
so we left and went to a bar right down the street from us-the sly fox...it was so small and so packed, but really fun... a lot of irish there, like off the boat irish!!! all really nice people too...we were only there for like an hour before last call and the bartender invited us to meet them at a bar in the city that stays open until 2:30...we also got some advice on a honeymoon in ireland..

then, as all things must come to an end, carrie and scott had to go-but eric and maria are still here..they had a few days on their own too, since we had to work...but we returned to salem (so i could get carrie a shirt and there were a few museums that eric and maria wanted to go to.) this time there was no rain.. it was a little cold, but there were so many people there and everything was opened late!!! not your usual 'everything closes at 5' day...
so we went to the pirate museum-please save the jokes and the arggs, we heard them all...and then we went to the biggest tourist trap ever..it was supposed to be a museum of superstitions and superstition paraphenalia...it was garbage...like a jelly baby in a jar that said " embryo from area 51" and some "real human bones"...all crap!!! the only thing of interest was a "vampire hunting kit" from the ealry 1700's it looked like it could've been authentic...it was a kit that was sold to frightened villagers.... no photos were allowed, but maria snuck one of that...(i'll post it later)
we just roamed around salem for the day and well into the night....

and now i am at work...however i had to experience a new england snow storm on the way to work...WTF!!! isn't this why tony and i decided to travel?? to avoid nasty weather??? oh well, the snow was sticking, but at last look, it seems like it is now raining...
and arizona is lookin' good!!!!
tony and i still have 4 weeks here, and we hope to do some more sightseeing before we leave...and some hiking in the mountains, as long as it stops snowing!!!
