12hours until i head home! YAY I feel very holiday-ish. looking forward to it very much. :) makes me feel christmasy inside!

movies

oh my god you have to watch war inc. and park. two comedies i loved them. park is soo amazingly true/funny. ok gotta make lunch so i am not stuck with airport food again tomorrow. here's to a new day.

sick day

wicked headache. nausea. not fun. at home sick today. felt guilty for calling in, but i have plenty of sick time. andre made me breakfast and is getting ready to go into work. just going to take it easy today and pack for my trip home. that will be a much needed and anticipated break.

my day off!

Oh I love my days off! B'fst with Doe and Kimmie. The yogurt bowl was actually really filling and I didn't eat anything for lunch until almost 3pm! Kimmie and I shopped this morning before we got our nails done because the eye doctor doesn't take my insurance anymore! stupid people. oh well shopping was fun and yet i didn't buy anything! HA.

Chores:
sorted laundry - X
put laundry away - kinda
do laundry
do dishes
make dinner
vacuum living room!

Fun so far! I love hanging out with my friends. :) OK more to do...bye bye

i've missed you bloggie

I've missed you bloggie. Life's been very good! Minus the migraine that kept me home yesterday, but it was a nice day at home. I slept in, went to the dentist where I discovered that you really DO need to floss - they don't just tell you that for no reason, watched fargo, had some wine and watched veronica guerin. i had never seen fargo and felt as if i was missing out somehow. i love accents, no matter what they sound like! veronica guern was a movie about a journalist in ireland who uncovers drug related crimes and exposes them while having her life threatened. it was really good! you should watch it reader friend.

4 more days until i get to o home for Thanksgiving YAY!!! I can't wait! It will be so nice to be home.

Today was trying at work. the "seaman" told me i should see a doctor for my headaches and acted all concerned, but really i saw right through him and know he just doesn't want me missing a day of work! i'm not stupid. i don't like being told what to do, especially from a male and especially when it's my life and i can do what i want! i've always struggled with controlling my true feelings on ...well...everything.

looking forward to my date with Kim and Doe. going to the gym, then the PF nd then I must get my eyes tested and nails done! i just wish it wasn't starting at 8:30 in the morning! mags and trev are moving away. helping on saturday, sad and mad. happy they are happy but i've missed them for a long time now. our schedules all have been weird. here's to our next date!

an early bedtime tonight, not sure why. 'Dre's tired and wants to read in bed...apparently he forgot the part about me not liking that. oh well, at least there are festival chrstmasy orange lights all around the room. g'night.

just another Sunday...

Facebook stalking. Only do this to your friends and people you would like to be friends with. it should be off limits to your partner's ex's or past sexual encounters. that only leads to an overwhelming feeling of sadness.

about sadness: Boys Don't Cry - a must see, but wow I balled like a baby! So surprising and stole my heart. I haven't cried like that over a movie in a LONG time.

Good day of work. Productive. Looking forward to going home for Thanksgiving. Check out this NPR story and listen to the Tom Waits version of this song that relates to the economy even today:

Also listen to this set of songs to spice up the drab workday, my favorite is the one by Indiana: Ordinary Life, http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95558471&sc=emaf

I love Madonna. Miss my checkpoint crew. "Red" is ok and fun, becoming even. bedtime. nice and early in hopes to wake up earlier and have a little more time to get ready in the morning. good luck me. Bee vs. the alarm clock!

saturday

This photo takes me back! I miss you girls! Tonight was so fun :)

A fun filled day of pierogi making, cabbage rolls, stinky cheese and white wine! Very happy with the results too!

Back in P-town I met up with Billy and tickled his nose with vinegared fries cut by 'Dre hopefully! yum. then off to the mall. shut the place down by 9 and it's a good thing or we would have been going home with some bling we couldn't afford! The bar of chocolate capped the night off right with beth and em. have you ever done a shot of chocolate? you can't even imagine. emily learned that sometimes it's just unlining and not a link and i learned that my hair is red, even if i don't think so. it's very difficult to blog with muscle relaxants so i must sign off now. either way at least the excema won't itch. maybe my doctor is crazy, but who cares!

'Dre's home! yay!

Also - the 80s are back. i do not approve of stirrup pants btw. nope, not at all.

forever 21 can keep their racks and racks of them.

why am i always against current fashion (or lack there of)!

ok i think my tonigue and face are numb! night :P

Free Friday for me!

i've decided muscle relaxers are really cool...ok so it's prescribed, but to feel like you can't lift your eyelids - scary and amazing all at once.

gymed it with Kim and Doe, then ate the calories I burned off at Becky's diner!
showered, put my face on and feel like I am ready to face the world, or at least take on my Dr appt. Haircut and maybe some color later today too. YAY. it's gloomy out but I am being productive. Dinner with 'Dre's dad tonight, should be a nice time. he make's a mean chicken curry!

off!

RRRRRR!

SO FRUSTRATED!!!

hello saturday

I love Picassa photo uploader, thank you for finally working. Nails done, check. Work out, check. Threw up, check. Apparently, you must hydrate BEFORE you wrkout; don't chug AFTER. errr.

Enjoying the SNL Presidental skits. Gotta love election time.

Top 5 Reasons I am glad the Election is over:

• This election has gone on for over a year!
• Hillary didn't make the cut, but I love her anyway!
• The Democrats call our land line 6X a day, no joke, it's documented.
• President Bush misses Texas
• It'll be great when people stop talking about who they voted for and start talking about anything else and accept the results.

Gotta go, computer battery dying. Over and out friends.

vote

get out and vote.
Why?

1. if for no other reason then to be able to bitch about who DID get in!
2. because many people don't have that option!
3. women fought a long time to earn the right to vote!
4. b/c you don't have to own property anymore to be counted!
5. b/c you don't have to be a white male anymore to vote!
6. b/c it's kind of exciting in there!
7. b/c you are a part of history when you vote
8. b/c either way we've made history - either a black male president or a female vice president and that's pretty cool!
9. b/c you can't change your mind tomorrow and decide you want to vote
10. it's now or you have to wait 4 years! and 4 years is a long time!
11. YOU MATTER!

I voted today. I waited in the line. I even disregarded the drunk at Rosie's who told me the election was rigged and soceity and the concecpt of society along with ALL humanity was DOOMED! I told him I tried not to think about those things. I also told him that i I ever did have thoughts like that I pushed them out of my head - that's too deep-weirdo-ness for me! Another beer please!

pay day

oye vey.

paying bills. why do people get so excited for payday just to hand their paycheck over to someone else? this seems a little F'ed up! I felt rich for the morning, but once the payments post, my landlord, doctor and CC companies are going to be the happy ones. Oh well. I make it so I can spend it!

Andre came home with a beautiful bouquet of flowers the other night, it must have been Wednesday or Thursday. Pinks and yellows! flowers make me feel so good. I know they don't last but I still enjoy them.

Random days off again this week. It's been a kinda rough week. No reason in particular, just bumpy. Maybe it's the changing of the seasons, the increased darkness? I went for a long brisk walk last night. I bundled up and booked it all around town and boy did it feel good. Planning on going to the gym today, DSW and target and the new H & M, but I'm not sure if I can get Andre to go shopping for that many stores, especially when they are all in different plazas. Trying to sort through clothes that are never going to fit again for goodwill. Also to make room for the winter clothes and put away the week's laundry. I know, it sounds amazingly fun. Off to be productive...
