a person in 234 photos pauly That meant that it was time to take apart the excellent loft Pauly built and installed the week before Meredith and I moved into this apt in April 2010 ! Pauly was in town visiting with his (future wife) Pam and we met up for an old-time drink at Lucy's! ...and we went to Satsko for a sake-ridden catch-up. Pauly was in town visiting. Amanda came over to meet up with us... Make a wish! On Sunday evening Pauly came over... ...and we celebrated his birthday with an ice cream cake! ...but soon I was alone. ...but Pauly was soon asleep. Pauly came over on Friday evening and we braved the drizzling rain to check out... Later that night Pauly came by and we caught up on some of the new flavors unavailable in CANADIA. A little later that afternoon, Pauly came out to see the place! ...Pauly hustled our way through the POURING rain... Perfect swimming waves... Haha. I love this photo so much. On Monday we met up at Cynthia's to go to the beach. She even let me drive her fun car! On Thursday morning, I said farewell to this guy... Pauly came back to our place on Wednesday and we... Later that night, Pauly bid us farewell to head to Brooklyn for a few nights... I busted out the Wii and showed Pauly how to play... Closing time. Later that night, Pauly and I met up with Amanda and we went to... Grey shirt gang! Later that night Siege and Annie came over... Later that afternoon, we met up with Karen for Odessa brunch! Pauly was back in town visting and stopped by on Saturday. We got shit-hammered and ended up going back to Matt's place! On Thursday night I went to the Sly Flox to meet up with Pauly... ...and his then-girlfriend who was down visiting from Toronto! ...and had a couple of snacks while we waited... We stopped off in Matt's apartment so that people could change into shorts and swim wear. The men's are grey and blue! So excited to check it out after hearing about it for so many years! ...joined forces with Pauly & Cynthia and drove out to Queens for a day at... Beach & Dim Sum food coma recovery party / nap festival at our place! So much goodness. DESTINATION! ...but then their eyes would snap open and we'd all have to pretend that we weren't just taking sneaky sleepy photos! BUSTED! Hahaha. Pauly got his dipped in blue! Action shot. The only thing better than the beach is leaving the beach to discover the ice cream man. Gurj rolled over and realized her wet bathing suit made a happy face. Haha. So much blanket real estate. The beach was practically empty this time around! Searchers of the Sea, indeed. Still managed to meet up with Pauly on the way! Wooooo! And STOVE TOP Jiffy Pop. OLD SCHOOL. Later that night Pauly came over with ALL SORTS of Sunday night treats. Beer cone. Pauly and Matt showed up first and they had matching haircuts and beards FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A ROW! Haha. Still beardtastic, though. The first time back in October 2009 ! (Grant just saw this photo and commented "Whoa, look at those two hair-farmers!" Hahaha). We even managed to get them to hold a photo of them matching the first time! So good! Josh was in town and came and met us. Pauly, Kaitie, Mer, Ellen and two other party peoples. ...to pick up the all the painted pieces of the awesome loft that we hired Pauly to custom-build for our new apartment! Pauly came over! Pauly came over later. Next thing we knew we had a new best friend. (A best friend who, incidentally, liked to lift up his shirt and smack his belly loudly and repeatedly after each drink). Pauly can't believe it! On Friday night we went to the Sly Fox with Pauly's friend who was in town visiting from Toronto. Tray of tequila shots always ends up leading to... Pauly came over later on in the evening for Family Night and brought cinnamon rolls again! I love his expression in this photo. Such a naughty little treat-monkey! Later that night Pauly and Amanda came over. Buds and snacks. We even had family night when we got home! On Wednesday Pauly came over. LURKdorable! Holy shit, this was an epic day. Later that night Pauly came over for Family Night and he showed up with CINNAMON ROLLS. On Sunday a whole bunch of people came over for Family Night. Pauly, Amanda, Kaitie... We got drunk. ...because he and Matt were dressed exactly like with matching haircuts and everything. (They're giving Vin & Marco back in their hey-day a run for their money) Gretchen, Mer, Jaymes and Pauly! Happy birthday, Jaymes! Later that night I went to Cabin to meet with these three all-newly-single gentlemen. They unleashed so much handsomeness upon the bar... ...and Pauly came over for Family Night. Pauly's popping Jiffy pop over the STOVE! Old school! Haha. Cab ride flex down! Double fist hoist. Haha. Pauly came bearing Canadian treats! That guy on the right had no idea about our boners. ...and her friend came! Pauly and Scott. Subway ride home. Around 6pm we decided to pack it in for the day. ...Far Rockaway Beach 60th Street! ...met up with Pauly and took the A train out to.... ...and then Pauly came and joined us! ...to give to Lisa - this fancy bottle koozie with her name on it. Haha. Pauly came over for Family Night later on and Meredith gave him a gift... 2am. Leigh, Lisa, Pauly and Mer. It was a perfect summer night so we took full advantage of the roof. The tide started coming in around 4:30 and I dug a "preventative trench" to protect our towels from the encroaching seawater. Lisa and Pauly. They were coming from some other party and had these awesome creepy masks with them. So disturbing. Hahaha. Pauly's peepers through the eye holes make me laugh. (Nervously) Later that night Lisa and Pauly came over for family night. Lisa's withering stare forced Pauly to suit back up moments later, but Mike stayed free. Mike hit the dance floor sans shirt and Pauly, who is buff and therefore always only needs one other shirtless person in order to to take off his shirt, had his jim jam off and tied around his waist in like 5 seconds. Pauly's friends' band, Quest for Fire, was in town playing a show in town and I went to meet up with them late night for post-show drinks at Elsa. Pauly and a friend who was visiting from Toronto. Collapse. Shirtless?
