Sassy pants made me do it.

Stacey suggested that I update my blog.... soooo finally--despite the fact that I have a Spanish test tomorrow morning, and the fact that I'm sick as a dog. (pounding headache, sniffly nose, sore throat)-Granted, I'm NOT having a baby like either of my sister in laws! I've decided to post some pictures and fill you in as to what's happening in the biiiig apple. Or more precisely, Queens.

Since I've had enough of chickens and cockroaches, I've moved to Queens with the Greeks. At my job I've made a new friend, her name is Kelly :) And it just worked out--I moved into her apt in Astoria/Queens and I love it here. I finally feel like I have a home.. ish. :) I really miss the house in CA. :( Mom called me today at work while she was literally walking out of the house for the last time. It makes me miss my puppies. :( I WANT ONE FOR CHRISTMAS... i said. hint hint**

Things I've done since the last post....

School: its school. It's going good. It's almost over. I took 18 units this semester.. wont be doing that again...that plus working = too much. Either way, I can't wait to graduate in May!



Birthday: Celebrated the day mom made lovins and had me!!! I had all my pals from work come and celebrate Britt-day and the end of Ramadan (a fasting period for muslims).



Pre-Thanksgiving: Went to CA!! And saw Mom and megs and the fam :) Mom made an AWESOME pre thanksgiving dinner....just for her baby :) yes guys--mom does love me the most--but no need to cry about it.. :( B-O-O H-O-O.(i just played brad's voice in my head while typing that). hahah.















Halloween: Used the same costume as last year since I didn't want to waste money again.. :) walked around the city and the parade...it was like Disney land times 10... lots of people and lots of people watching.







Thanksgiving: Went to New Hampshire, it was beautiful like last time, but WAY more fog and cold cold cold..and an itty bitty bit of snow! (yay christmas!) Missed the family. Had good food, but it wasn't mom's. Tried green bean casserole for the first and LAST time. WHY this is an american tradition...i don't know....I miss mom's yams, especially when Meagan puts too many marshmallows on top, making the yams catch on fire, and mom mysteriously loses her ring in the yams. yummm.

Now that's what I call thanksgiving.

BAD....



WORSE.. he he he.

Sumamente Caliente!

To avoid any future incidences similar to the one where MOM kinda forgot me at the airport in Utah.... I decided to post a few pictures of myself with the new mop. SO.... in the event one of the Maughan fam is sent to pick me up. you know what I look like. :)

Even though I may not see some of you until my graduation :) (Please come!) It's always nice to see the current me :) Which brings me to my next point... MY HAIR IS RED!! woo hoo!!!! I decided that our side of the family needed more of the redhead..... Aunt Nancy took it all... so I've decided to bring the sexy back! muahahahaa. Hope you like :) I got it done at Vidal Sassoon in NY... very very nice.. they spent 6 hours working on my mane! But I love it :)

Random pictures...

Hey Fam fam! here are some random pictures..mostly from 4th of july..just thought I'd share them.. I LOVE NY :) things are still doing well.. since last post. I have finals this week...microbiology and economics..can't wait to be done with school! YOU HAD BETTER BE COMING TO MY GRADUATION, I said... that includes YOU, Weston, Tyson, Matt, Em, Nicole, Stace..and anyone else that reads this blog!!









Once finals are over, I'll have more time to take photos....so keep checking for updates! :)

Back on the Blog

Hey Fam :) It's been a while since I've been back on the blog--so it's time to pick up where I left off. Not only is it a great tool to share pics and silly stories--but I've come to find that I have a few dedicated readers---so fans..... I BEESE BACK :)

Here's a few KEY words to sum up what's gone on so far...
-Cockroaches
-Germans
-Sex Changes
-Employment
-NH, CT.
-Soft Spoken Asians
-A love for pathogens

OKAY.. so now that I've given you the beefy headlines---we'll bite into the juicy (turkey) burger of Brittany's life. (side note--I no longer eat cow... yes Weston-- I still love a nice Steak. But I can no longer sink my teefers into moo cows.)

-COCKROACHES: I have cockroaches in my apt.... I took a picture of the dead remains--I'm going to email it to my landlord. yummy. We battled it out, I was vulnerable--in a towel--fresh from my shower--and he (or she) was just strolling down the dark corners of the hallway. I was told not to smash them---because their babies go everywhere--GROSS. But I wasn't going to let poquito cucaracha go. (Why the pests in my house are spanish--is a mystery to me, maybe its because of speedy gonzales, and the cockroaches in MIB...either way they speak spanish.) I smashed it...I took my roommates shoe (not mine, of course) and "tomó su vida." Took his life. It was sad. But sorry, I'm not into Cucarachas---at least he wasn't thrown out the window.

-Germans. I sublet my room to a German named Robert, who eats nothing but hotdogs, and for the first time watched Jeopardy--only to find that the show does suck--except for the infamous Alex Trabek. He turned out to be pretty cool. Not only because I made a little money off of him, but it meant no rent while I was in CA! :) And CA was lovely. D-Land, Family and the Beach :) Doesn't get any better.

-Sex Changes--YES, I'm still a girl--despite the heinous picture that Mom insisted on using for Meagan's wedding. Really mom? Really. HOWEVER... if I were in fact a herm, it would have proved useful during my last regatta of the season. I was a girl, and we couldn't race in a men's race. It's like having a guy in a girls soccer match... ( i guess). Even though we wouldn't have placed. I was still upset. And my friend Ed thought it'd be funny to tell the Ref that I used to be a man--all in front of 15 race boats from various prestigious schools. AWESOME.

-NH/CT. I Went to Connecticut for the first time---saw my first white hooker on the street--classy, and even some crack addicts--sweet! Makes me glad that I didn't push the Yale option for school. The town was beautiful---where the school was----but the rest, blah. Also when to NH.. very beautiful--lots of trees.. lots of smokers..lots of cats...good pizza, and bad ice cream. THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF A MALT!!!

Employment--I HAVE A JOB!! wooo hoo! I work for a restaurant called "POUND AND PENCE" It's an English pub and restaurant. It's in the financial district, next to the world trade center, so its all Wall Street/Business people etc... which means awesome tips! I'm a server-its my first time serving, ever. But the girls that work there are awesome! They are all from different countries--Hungary, Russia, Mexico, Bulgaria etc... The manager is great, and again--the $$$!!! so great.

School----I love econ, but i've come to find that it's better to just teach myself. My teacher is this great, and very sweet, Asian man, who talks VERY quietly. So... i basically teach myself, and show up to make it look like I'm learning from him.
Pathogens--My mircrobio teacher is amazing, he works for the FDA and we talk about food bourne illness all day! So you have to listen to me!
-Don't go on cruises.
-Don't eat raw oysters.
-Always wash your hands.
-Wash all your fruit and veggies.
I'll make a whole post dedicated to my new found knowledge---so listen to me, I said.


Well fam... thats about all I can think of for now. I dont want this blog to be too crazy. So I'll end it now.. but I'll try and be more active in blogging :) I love the blogs fam---Nicole, Wes, Tyse, Stace, Matt, Em..... very cool :) Love it all :)

Love you guys! SO MUCH!

<3 Brit-ta-ny (yes, I am now demanding the correct pronunciation of my name, I said.)

(ps... all the pics are from CT/NH..and one of me... to show you how much I've grown! Just like Willem! :) hahaah.
