On Saturday, we spent the afternoon at a pool party! Here's ellie in her natural environment.  

It was a big pool party on Saturday! It doesn't matter where i go, i always end up being the beer wench! 

Little baby Mendez and mom kickin' it by the pool 

Here's the crew keeping cool in the pool 

Here's the Clear Channel Keggers Softball team! Ok, it's half the team...we can't all be in the same place at the same time. That way, if there's an accident, we won't ALL be killed. haha.

When we take pictures, we always label them on the computer so we can keep track of them. They all have names like "Ellie hiking at Pinchot" or "Jeff drunk at the bar". So here's "black cats watching squirrels"

And now...one of the happiest moments of my life. This is the final payment on my car. I bought it brand-new in 2000, and now it's paid off!! This means that it'll break down next month, i'm sure. As you can tell, i was quite happy. And yes, i always pay my bills in my skanky, white-trash tank top.  

We headed north to Wilkes-Barre (yes, i used to live there) for our wedding anniversary. We went and saw the American Idols Live concert. Ellie is a HUGE Idol fan, so it was a real treat for her to meet all the idols. Here's the autograph line backstage. Nikko has head down with the blue and yellow hat.  

Ellie and Constantine.  

Ellie and Bo Bice. I think she can die and go to heaven now, she's finally met him! Bo is one of the coolest music stars i've ever met. He acts like a complete southern-rock stoner, he's great! How did this guy not win Idol? 

Me (looking very excited) with Carrie Underwood, the AMERICAN IDOL winner! 

I'm not sure this is something to be proud of... This weekend, i ate an entire bag of Oreos by myself. HAHA. It seems to be a gender-thing. Every GUY who i tell is very impressed, while WOMEN seem to be repulsed. It's not like i ate an entire bag of DOUBLE STUF Oreos...they were regular Oreos. It's not that bad, right? C'mon, i drank three glasses of milk, that's healthy!

Miller, myself and AJ from Wilkes-Barre. Yes, go ahead and say it...we are sexy, dead sexy. haha. I think Heinekin is paying Miller to endorse their beer. Look at the way he's holding the logo so you can see it. Hmmmm....

I was sitting at home today, and i decided to tidy up the closet. So i walked over (in barefeet) and suddenly noticed that my feet were soaked! hmmm....this isn't normal. So i open up the closet....and what did i see? FLOODING! yes. flooding. great. so i pulled everything out of the closet and called maintainence. I was amazed that i could stay calm with them while i was standing in a puddle. haha.  

Here's another pic from last Thursday's party in Philly. For some reason, we look sober-er here. Is that even a word? Sober-er? OK, we look more sober here. Damn we're sexy people. hahaha

Funny thing. See these kids with all their KISS temporary tattoos? Yeah. I put one of these things on my arm the other day...THEY DON"T COME OFF! Well, they do...but it takes a little effort. These guys have about an hour of scrubbing ahead.. enjoy! 

It's monday, and i barely slept last night....so i'm dragging today. ugh. There's NOTHING on at 3am....NOTHING. TV at 3AM consists of infomercials and ads for GIRLS GONE WILD. that's it! now, at least the GGW videos aren't the worst thing at 3am, but still....

Here's a batch of photos from our recent trip to Philly to meet a new band, THE VERONICAS. As you can tell, we all had a blast. Look for Matt Steal, Miller, Big Mike, Keith, Tias, Kelly, Dave and more in these pics!

...And the best part? After we took these, our limo got pulled over and we had to bribe a cop! Funny stuff!

God, don't i feel like a jerk? I just had to announce that the SCREAM 4 TOUR with BOW WOW and OMARION is cancelled for Hershey. Girls are calling request line in tears. damn...i feel bad now.

Sitting at home after an absolutely HEARTBREAKING loss for the Clear Channel "Keggers" softball team. We hold our heads high, even after losing by 1 run in the bottom of the 9th inning. I've got a feeling my legs will HURT tomorrow. I feel like i ran more tonight than at any other game. Oh, that's right...i actually HIT the ball tonight, and you get to run when you do that. That makes a difference. haha.

Keggers pictures will be posted on the KISS-FM website soon. I'm trying to talk the web goddess into creating a Keggers page, but no luck so far. I'll keep working on her.

UPDATE: Here's a "Keggers-Kandid". Coach Wilbur and Mike "Jorge" Mendez plan strategy as we figure out how to rally from 6 runs down. You can tell it's an official meeting because Rob is carrying a clipboard.

The whole gang standing on the beach at Presque Isle. It was sunny and 75 out there, i didn't want to go inside!  

Two of our best friends were tying the knot this weekend in Erie! We hopped in the car and headed north on I-79 to attend the ceremony. They held the reception inside the Warner Theater. They even got their names on the marquee! How cool is that? 

Here's me at Presque Isle, the site of the wedding. Couldn't have found a more perfect place for the ceremony!  

Rob and Maggie (the bride and groom) along with Aaron. Carrie and Ellie. 

The after-party was up the street at the Plymouth. He I am, spending "quality time" with the bride. haha. Don't tell Rob!
