Soooooo Tired

Thu, 17 Aug 2006 12:48:52 GMT

First and foremost.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAHAM!!!! Ok, now....I am soooooo tired. Last night I only got about 5 hours of sleep if that due to noises I kept hearing outside my windows. I know that it was just animals but even Jeremy heard them. It was way freaky. I ended up moving upstairs and sleeping on an airmattress. I heard footsteps downstairs when I did that. I dunno....it was crazy and I couldn't fall asleep so Jeremy talked me into taking some NyQuil since it was pretty much the only way I was gonna be able to sleep. So I'm still tired and I'm way dopped up also. I totally don't want to be at work this week and I'm a bit on the cranky side also. NOT a good thing at all. Sigh....hopefully the day will go by quickly. I can only hope. Jeremy and I watch some tv together last night and that was a lot of fun. He's not home a ton so it's been nice to have him around. I really wish today was Friday. It'd make things SO much easier. I need to start eating healthier.I've been slacking off a lil bit too much lately. Less sweets and chips I think. My wisdom tooth has really been bugging me lately. It's driving me crazy. Hopefully it'll just go away after awhile like it usually does. Man, I would love nothing more to just crawl into bed and fall asleep right now. I know I would be able to and that's the kicker. Ok, gonna find something to do here at work.....

Sooooooo Booooooooored!

Don't get me wrong....it's nice not to have anything to do but I'm going nuts! My boss leaves early quite often and then I really have nothing to do and I just get completely bored out of my mind. I will be changing jobs here pretty soon which I am excited and yet nervous about. I have to hope that I can get a new job soon though so I'm somewhat worried about that. Please be in prayer that something pops up sometime very soon. This weekend seriously can't come soon enough. Mikey left this morning which is kinda sad :'-( I was irritated with him yesterday but then when I woke up this morning there was a message on the fridge for me saying he would miss me while he was gone and appologizing for last night. I love my boys so much. I'm gonna hate it when we move. I'm rather attached to the guys. So I am down to folding one load of laundry tonight....YES!!! Then I gotta wash all the sheets and blankets tomorrow while I'm at work. There isn't anything better than clean fresh sheets OK.....so I need to go tie things up here .....done with work!!!!! YES

AHHHHH!!!!!

So I have 30 minutes left of work and I am dying to get out of here. For those of you who work a full-time job I'm sure you know what I mean. I just wanna go home, throw on those comfy clothes and kick it back and watch my evening tv. Maybe some pool or video games. My Labor Day vacation cannot possibly come soon enough. It'll be great and I simply can't wait. I also am totally psyched to see Drew this weekend. Mikey leaves super early Thursday morning which is sad :'( He'll be gone for 2 weeks back in Jersey. Oh! Today I heard from an old (well, it's not been that long) friend of mine that I hadn't heard from in a couple of months. Totally made my day and put a smile on my face ....see?! It's nice when you hear from people that you haven't talked to in forever. I hate it when friends grow apart. It makes me sad So my mom's best friend from grade school in Germany is coming to the states for the first time with her daughter next weekend. They will be staying with my family for two weeks. Needless to say our house is currently being flipped-turned upside down. Due to our house being a constant work in progress it could always use a little bit of help. Mom is going crazy of course since she gets to see her best friend who she hasn't seen in 38 years :-O When you have an ocean dividing you it kinda happens. Both my mom and Heide are completely falling to pieces in the process and I can only imagine the scene they will create at the airport. Kinda glad I won't be there. So yeah, Labor Day will be super crazy with our house being packed beyond capacity (think I'm gonna be tenting it in the yard ) not to mention the possibility of meeting Drew's family which can always be a nerve wracking thing. I'm not too stressed about it cause it's small stuff Ok, 20 minutes left of work.....I can do this. So yeah, heard the roommates again last night....hopefully it'll be much quieter tonight and I'll be able to sleep better than last night which thank goodness was better than the night before. Drew had suggested switching the end of the bed that I sleep in. You're not gonna believe this but it actually worked! Crazy I know. I'm in the midst of doing 5 loads of laundry right now. You cannot imagine the fun in it. So far I have 1 load to wash, and 1 to fold right now. It'll get done by this weekend I figure. I hadn't done laundry in awhile so there's a lot to do. I gotta vacuum and clean the bathroom still this week. Oh yeah! I need to wash the sheets to sometime. It'll get done eventually I suppose just like everything else. Hopefully the boys washed the dishes that have been in the sink.....:-\ Some days I'm great about cleaning the kitchen when I get home and others I just wanna plop myself down on the couch. It happens. You know those pieces of clothing that are either falling apart or have stains on them and really should go but you just simply cannot bear to let them go? I'm wearing one of them right now :-\ My favorite blue and white zip-up hoodie. Chris gave it to me eons ago but I love this thing. Sigh, I've had to give up a few pieces of clothing as of late simply because somehow I am trimming down ....YEA Yes, it's true....clothes no longer fit. I've had to give up quite a few pairs of pants. Dunno how its happening but somehow it just is. May have to end up going shopping for jeans this fall even though my wardrobe never seems to lack. Eh....we'll see. Ok, it's time for me to slowly starting packing up and jazz....day's over....YES!

Sleep is essential

Mon, 07 Aug 2006 17:18:41 GMT

So I've discovered this weekend that my mood is very dependant upon how much sleep I get. I was up till 6 am on Saturday after getting up early for work on Friday. I ended up going to a party Friday night and so by the time I actually crawled into bed the sun was coming up. Of course mom called me at 10:30 am and of course I didn't go back to sleep till that night. Last night I went to bed late cause I was bonding with the roomies and then I talked to Drew a bit while he was driving during the night. The weekend was all worth it but today I feel poopy. Gotta make sure I get plenty of sleep tonight.
It was fun going to the party. It always takes me a couple times to warm up but I need to constantly crawl out of my hole and make friends and have fun. Drew wasn't there so that was kinda a bummer but I still had fun with Mike and Phil. One of these days I'm gonna have to put pictures of my roomates on here. I've been blessed with such awesome ones. I seriously couldn't have asked for better. I love them to death and am seriously gonna cry buckets when I have to leave them
I don't get to see Drew for two weeks which stinks but the plus side of it is that I think he'll be done with his current assignment so I hopefully will be able to see him more often then. Please keep the both of us in prayer because it looks like we will be moving up to Marquette this fall. We both need to figure out places to live, jobs, etc. I've moved so much and although I feel like quite a pro there is all the small stuff that I am sweating. I know things will fall into places wherever we are supposed to be but the whole lot has kinda got my panties in a twist. God provides and I survive and that's all I need to know.
Last night I watched the final 3 episodes of Gray's Anatomy and just realized once again how badly I want to go to school. I can't even honestly begin to explain just how bad I want it. I've never wanted anything so badly in my life before and It's like being in 100% humidity and not being able to breath. I don't know why God has put such a passion for medicine into my life but I would love more than anything in this entire world to get my LPN and then in a couple of years to get my RN. This has been a desire for about 5 years or so now. To think that I'll never be able to accomplish this is the worst feeling ever. I feel like a failure but I honestly wouldn't take back a single experience that I've had in my life. I'm 22 and you know what? I'm ok with that. Right now I'm doing what I should be and that is paying off debts of mine and saving up money. This way that I am not weighed down by anything. And if someone does want to marry me some day.....my schooling won't matter. It shouldn't diminish my intelligence or the person that I am. I duno....just some stuff that's been on my mind lately.
Well, I'm gonna do some stuff online....nothing to do at work today so I'm just looking forward to go home.

You ready for this? .....I'm gonna post!

Thu, 03 Aug 2006 17:46:32 GMT

So ya, it's been awhile ok? Give me a break....I lead a very busy and exciting life. Has anyone else noticed (not that anyone reads this) that I need some serious help with my Xanga layout? I have no problem decorating and color cordinating and yet when it comes to my Xanga site it looks like something a baby threw up on after eating a box of crayons. Any suggestions would be most welcomed.
So I am most bored at work. I kept pretty busy for awhile but now I'm just tired and would love to go home. My back has really been bothering me lately. Today I seriously almost cried on the way to work cause it's so bad. I refuse to take my seriously strong pain killers so I'm just gonna have to cope. I want to be able to exercise but I dunno if I'm gonna risk it tomorrow morning. We'll have to see. I'd like to keep the progress of shaving off in by inch.
I'm happy that it's almost the weekend but sad that I won't get to see Drew. I'll get to see him next weekend though so it's all good. I sorta miss my family just a little bit too. Won't be able to see them till Labor Day weekend. I can't wait to get my hair died and trimmed. I NEEEEEED it badly! Meg's gonna have her hands full that's for sure. I'm embarressed to go out in public at this point in time. My hair mostly stays up in a frizzy mess cause it just gets worse when I keep it down. This summer has seriously reeked havoc on my hair. It's dried, fried, and split hard core.
So it's time for me to do something crazy like I feel the need to every once in awhile. My options are to get an industrial piercing, more piercings in my ear, or get my nose pierced. What's the verdict? What should I do? I'll either get it done Labor Day weekend or a month later when I'm up for Meg's wedding. Speaking of which when I go up Labor Day I gotta pick out something to wear for Meg's wedding. Otherwise I'll end up going in a towel cause it'll take me forever to figure it out. All are welcome to join me for my little dress show since I'm gonna try pretty much everything I own since I will now fit in them again. YEA!
I'm tired. I was so driven to get stuff done earlier and now I'm just like ok ....ho.....hum. I still got about 2 hours and 15 minutes left. Should've brought a movie or something. Stupid period is making me crave sugar stuff. I would LOVE cookies from Subway but I haven't exercised in a while so I don't really deserve them. hmmmm Maybe if I determine myself to work out every day then I'll let myself have some. I already have pretty much decided to go tomorrow morning. My stomach will be poofy for a couple days still just cause of my period so there's not much I can do about that. No flat tummy on the beach this weekend.
Yawn I need a new back. I'm so mad about not exercising that I just want to get up right now and go do it. I know, that's pathetic but you've gotta stick to things like this or you won't go anywhere with it. In my case I didn't really have the option to be doing much of anything so it's ok.
Ok, so we all need to pray that I can find a good full time job that is 40 hours and pays better than this one so that I can survive better, pay off more bills, be able to eventually pay for school, and be able to help mom and the kids out. It's great to have this job but I need to get a new one as soon as I can.
Ok, I think I've actually run out of things to say. I know, it's a shocker. Hopefully there will be more to follow one of these days .....

Verse Of The Day

Sun, 15 Jan 2006 22:44:44 GMT

Ok, so this year's kinda late New Years resolution is to have a Bible verse for each day that I pick. Today's verse is Jeremiah 29:11. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. This verse is perfect for today. A friend of mine lives this verse daily and has been a great source of encouragement in my life. God's really great at bringing people into your life just when you need them ya know? Thank you to this friend and for always pointing me towards this verse You know what? I love my family...they are such a bunch of nuts and we are all just like each other but ya know what? I wouldn't have it any other way

Ok, serious question here.......do I look better with long hair or shorter hair? At times I think I look better with shorter hair. I've thought about just getting all the split ends cut off and getting it layered. I dunno...all opinions are welcome

Wow, this next week is going to be crazy! I work Monday, Tuesday - Tuesday night I have Bible Study - I also have to pick up my bridesmaid dress. I'm having this little Asian women do the alterations. It was so funny when I went there. She kept telling me "It will fit, it will fit" "Not fall off, not fall off" lol. Basically this dress was a bit big. Way baggy on the top and she's cutting a foot (no exaggeration) off of the bottom. I swear that the thing was made for someone on stilts . So anyways, Wednesday I work and then pretty much come home and pack and throw my stuff in the van and take care of anything that needs to be done for the weekend. Then I go to work on Thursday and leave early so that I can get to the wedding rehearsal just a tiny bit late. Then it's a bachelorette party (kind of) and then the next day is the wedding. I don't want to spend the money on a hotel room so I'm going to make the drive back after the wedding. It's going to suck cause I'll get home late but Heide's not going to be around so I can't stay at CUW for the weekend and Chad is going to be gone so I won't be able to stay with him either. Oh well. So yeah, gonna be one crazy week. Weddings are fun though and I love getting dressed up Hopefully I'll get some good pictures and I'll put them up on here. If you want to see the updated pictures of camping last weekend, you can go to here
Well, I should get to sleep. My throat has been wierd lately and I need to have a voice for singing tomorrow. Have a great night and a fabulous weekend!

So last weekend I went camping in Marquette. It was nice to go up there and I love camping even though it was cold. Work and classes are going well. JoAnna's wedding is next weekend. I can't believe that it's come up so fast! My dress was a bit on the big size so there are some big alterations going on. Hopefully it'll all turn out good next week. Gotta get some one of a strapless bra.....not looking forward to that too much :-\ Oh well. Luke called me and said that he can't go to the wedding with me which sucks. Now I gotta go alone. Once again....oh well. So if anyone wants to go with me ..... I got a ton of stuff to get done since I have the wedding next weekend. I have laundry to do, the apartment needs to be cleaned, etc. Hopefully I'll find somewhere to crash on Friday after the wedding since it'd kinda suck to drive back afterwards. But anyways, overall things are going good. I got to see Mindy last weekend which was great I miss her a ton and it was really good to see her. I gotta go to Marquette more often to see people. I need to replace the hard drive on my computer :-\ Not too excited about that one. I need to do it though so that this thing runs better. I can't afford to have it completely crash on me one of these days. I depend on it too much for different things. Ok, I probably would say more on here but I need to get to bed here. Gonna zonk out on the keyboard. Until later....

Well, tonight is kind of a late night for me. Had bible study and I didn't get back till 10 so by the time I had a sandwich it was 10:30. Oh well, if I can get to bed by 11 I'll be fine. I found out this morning due to my alarm clock not going off that I don't really need to get up until 6:30 lol. Ooops! I'm definitely going to make sure that it's set right for tomorrow. I think that it was just messed up cause I had to unplug it while I was cleaning yesterday and when I reset it I didn't do it right. I really should get another alarm clock thing like I have at work that has two alarms. Better to be safe than sorry even though work wouldn't care....could just cut my lunch in half or something. There's this big schmoozin shindig tomorrow morning apparently. All the employees get together and have this big breakfast in the conference room and stuff. I figure hey, I get a breakfast out of it lol No, it'll be kind of cool I'm sure. Tomorrow I will be getting some furniture...YEA!!!! Very excited about that one. Sure, I'll have to get some more stuff but it's a great starting point and it's free so I'm all for it! I finally got everything completely unpacked and cleaned this place this weekend which was cool. Everything is nice now Sigh, well....I outa be getting to bed. Until later....

Well, survived my first week at work. I really like it at the bank. I've gotten to learn a bunch of really cool stuff and I enjoy the people that I work with. They are mostly younger; in their 20's or early 30's which is nice. Found out that I get a bonus every January and a raise every March which is always a plus. I have a huge office/cubicle. It's bigger than all the analyst desk's and mine is kind of by itself it's not really attached to anyone else. I thought that was pretty cool. It seems so empty though. I brought some pictures and stuff and maybe it'll look fuller once I get a plant in there or something. I like to keep my desk pretty clean so it's not like the office is covered in paperwork or something.
My classes are going well. Taking a total of 7 this semester. Most of them are a breeze so I don't think it'll be hard to get good grades in them. Don't care for my Proofreading and Editing or my Business Writing and Research class but oh well. I'll survive them I'm sure.
Yesterday I went to church to practice piano which was awesome. I missed it sooooo much. I'm going to try to go about once to twice a week and play for an hour or two. This morning I sang in praise band which was really nice. It's great to be involved in music again. We had an outdoor service in the park which was neat except for the fact that it was kind of chilly. My goal this weekend is to get the place clean and stuff. I've been busy with stuff after work so I didn't really get a chance to pick up things at all and it's starting to bug me. Chad's going to be coming up some time so I need to clean it for that reason too. Someone is giving me some furniture this next week which will be nice. I'll still have to get a couch and stuff but I'll be getting an entertainment center and a table and chairs and a frame for my bed along with other stuff so that'll be nice. I'm sure that a couch and stuff won't be too far behind.
Going to go to bible study this week which will be nice. It's been awhile since I've done something like that and it's a good thing to get into. I didn't go up to CUW this weekend cause I was busy but I'm going to as soon as I have the chance. Man, I'm tired.....I oughta get going on cleaning stuff up before I take a nap or something. Until later....
