3 More Days!

Today was a good day! I got a manicure and a pedicure today and went tanning. My toes are now hot pink. I spent most of the day trying to pack for the cruise but for some reason, I couldn't pack for shit. I got like 1/2 a suitcase packed and I'm still feeling all out of wack and anxious. Maybe I'm just excited! Only 3 more days (2 1/2 really) until we leave!

This weekend we went out with some of our friends to this new pizza buffet style restaurant. It was so freaking crowded that they had to shut down the buffet line for like 20 minutes because all the tables were full. While it was okay, I definitely didn't have the best time ever.

Tomorrow I'm getting my hair cut and highlighted and I need to do some more shopping. After that, I should be done shopping for the cruise.

The weather was really nice this weekend. I was glad. I'm in a good mood when it's nice out. Not that I'm not in a good mood any other time, but I'm just especially in a good mood when it's nice out.

Well, that's it. I would write more, but I'm still wacked out about this packing thing. I think I need a fucking tranquilizer or something. More tomorrow...

The week is over! Hoorah!

Well, I made it through the day alive! My boss let me go home early because he knew I felt like shit. He did make a deal with me though that I had to be "nice" to him next week. Well, I'm only working 2 days next week, so that was a no brainer!

Tonight we went to John D. McGurks Irish Pub for dinner. It was soo good. I had a lamb shank and it was absolutely delicious! We were supposed to go down to Soulard Ale House tonight to see MSG play, but I've had too many beers to go back out. I guess I'll be spending the rest of the night at home! That's okay with me though.

Tomorrow is going to be so nice out! I'm going to do some shopping and spend the rest of the day outside. Tomorrow night we're going out to dinner with some of our friends. At some point this weekend, I need to pack. Wheeee.

Well, that's all you get. 2 updates in one day is *way* *too* *much* for me. G'nite!

Luda/Chingy

So last night I went to the Ludacris/Chingy concert with Kim and Kara. I had such a blast. I really like seeing Ludacris live. He puts on a really good show. Chingy, I didn't like so well. David Banner and this other guy whose name I can't remember played too. They sucked. Anyway, we had *bitchin* seats. 3 white chicks at a rap concert. How sweet is that?

It wasn't so bad. I kept getting hit on by the brotha's but since I'm so tough and all, I just pushed them back. I didn't get home until around 1am and finally got to sleep around 2:30ish. I got up bright and early this morning for work and now I feel like shit. I puked after I ate lunch. Hopefully I'll feel a little better now. Hangovers suck. Remember that kids.

Well, I better finish working. Tonight I'm going to tan, and that's about it. Tomorrow is more promising.

BLAGH

Can this day possibly go any slower? I can't wait until 4:30. I'm having a bad day.

Tonight I'm going to the Ludacris concert in the Loop. I hope my car doesn't get stolen. I'm a little nervous.

Well, my day just got a little worse...so I've gotta go.

It's HUMP day. Wooo. Hump the one you love.

Yes, it's Wednesday. This week is almost over. Hoorah! 8 days until we leave for the cruise! YAY. Okay, enough happy Dana.

I didn't get to sleep last night until 2am (again.) It really sucks. I don't understand why I'm not sleeping. I think I'm going to buy some Tylenol PM or something.

The day is so far going okay. My email at work isn't working so well. But that's nothing new. We need a new webserver. Also, one of our scanner computers took a shit this morning. Sooo I've been trying to fix that. Hopefully the day will get better. I'm leaving early today to go to dinner and movie with Chris and RJ, soooo I guess it's not that bad.

My quest today is for something pink on my desktop. My background color is already pink, but I want to find a little picture that has some pink in it too. Hopefully I'll have time to do that at some point. Right now, I need to do some AR stuff. More later!

Do any of you know anything about the Coast Guard? I was kinda thinking it might be neat to sign up as a Coast Guard Reservist...you know...guarding the coast! Anyway, if anybody has any info, email me.

Today was a pretty good day. I was really busy and my boss was in a pretty good mood. Tonight I'm going to go do some last minute shopping for the cruise. That's always good. Shopping, that is! This weekend I think I'm going to pack!

You know, I don't understand something. And really, this was my only rant of the day. I was listening to NPR this morning, and they were talking about the Catholic church scandal. They said that the head bishops had a study done by 5 doctors and found that it's not doing the priests any good to kick them out of the church. Instead, they feel it does them better to keep them in the church and get them help. Well, that's all fine and good (the help part) however, why would the church want to, in a sort, promote molestation? I mean, why won't they just allow priests to marry/have relationships with women? I don't understand it. All I know is, I'm glad I'm Lutheran. Because if I was Catholic, I'd be having a really hard time with the faith I had in my church right now.

I had a pink Lifesaver today. It was from some Easter candy called "Pastel Lifesavers". It tasted like cotton candy. It was so good! I only ate it because it was pink, so...tasting like cotton candy was a bonus!

Another bonus....I got my check from the CD Overcharge Class Action Suit today. It's only $14 but, it's better than a kick in the balls. :P

Oh Happy Monday.

BLAH. I am tired. Last night I didn't go to sleep until around 2am. I woke up this morning around 7 and got out of bed around 8. I was so freaking tired. Then, I went to work. Wheeee. Work was pretty good. My boss put the smack down on the Accountant. It was pretty funny.

Anyway, after work, I rushed home to grab my gym bag and make it to my kickboxing class. I was like 4 minutes away from home when I pop over a hill and see traffic at a dead stop. It took me 25 minutes to get home from there, when usually it takes 4, tops. I was so pissed. I missed my kickboxing class :(

I made salmon, asparagus, dill potatoes, and salad for dinner. Then I went to tan. I was going to go workout after that but I am so tired that I just decided to come home and take a shower and relax. Hopefully tonight I will get to bed before 2am.

Today is my sister's birthday and in grand tradition, my grandma had to call her and make her feel like shit. This weekend, when we were at her house, we all (me, Chris, Indy, Matt and my mom) went to this place called Sophia's. When we got there, the host asked us if we wanted to sit in smoking or non-smoking. None of us smoke except my mother and my sister has asthma. Anyway, everyone says non except for me, and only because I wasn't paying attention. So, they tell me I'm the tie breaker because my mom piped up and said "SMOKING!". So, I say "NON." And my mom starts crying. CRYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS NICE RESTAURANT. So, we go sit down and of course she doesn't want anything to eat nor does she want anything to drink. So, she just keeps crying and bitching until finally, we say fuck it and decide to leave and order pizza. So, anyway, tonight my grandma gets on the phone with my sister and starts YELLING at her because we made my mom sit in non-smoking. My sister was like "grandma, I cannot breath around smoke." And my grandma totally tried to turn it around and make it sound like breathing was less important than smoking. I hate smoke so much. I think it's totally rude for people to just assume that it's their RIGHT to smoke around other people. It's bullshit. But, my whole life, my family has always stirred a huge pot of bullshit about anything and everything. Actually, I think I'm going to start seeing a therapist to talk about some family issues that have been bugging me.

So, on to something lighter! It's almost time for the cruise!!! Just a little over a week. Monday I'm getting my hair cut and highlighted and then I'm getting my manicure/pedicure. I still need to pick up a few things from the mall, and pack, but besides that, I'm ready to go! I really need this vacation. Then, in a few weeks, we'll be in Chicago! I'll be so happy to hang out and see my friends.

Well, tomorrow holds nothing but work and going to the gym! Hopefully the weather will be nice and the day will go by quick! I am going to look at this new catalog I got that has a bunch of pink stuff in it.

Owning A House Is Sometimes A Pain...

because once you own a house, you start thinking that house projects are fun. So, we've been talking about redecorating our bedroom, and our master bathroom and many other things, including our closet. So anyway, tonight, we get home from India's and I start putting some stuff away and start bitching about the closet and the doors, etc etc. Sooo, Chris suggests we take the doors off. I say, "well, lets not. because then we'll have to start on the bedroom." And, surprisingly, he suggests taking the doors off will only motivate us to start. Okay, so I guess that's a good idea. Anyway, we go online to the Closetmaid website to 'design' our closet. Can I just say that the website sucks? It's such a pain in the ass. Chris is still working on it. I just don't have the patience. So, anyway, we know what we want and now, we've just gotta make a list of stuff to get from Lowes.

Anyway, I think we're going to paint the room a red/brick color. We're going to add wooden blinds and replace the ceiling fan. Then, of course, the closet. Hopefully we'll get done soon and I can post pictures!

We went to Columbia this weekend for India's birthday. It was fun. My mom was there and my sister got some good stuff for her birthday. On the way home today, we stopped at the outlet mall in Warrenton to do some shopping. That "mall" really sucks. They have really crappy stores. We ended up getting some stuff at the Nike store, then we went to the Gap and didn't really see anything. However, I did find a coat from the Gap on Amazon that I wanted. It was $78 but I got it on sale for $56. Go me, Go me. Oh, and, it's pink! Imagine that :)

Well, lots going on this week. Tomorrow is my kickboxing class and I need to tan. And, I need to go by Goedecker's to pick out a new couch. Wednesday we're going to see The Passion of The Christ, and on Thursday I'm going to the Ludacris/Chingy concert with Kara and her friend Kim. Saturday we have to take Chris's parent's to the airport for their cruise. And, I suppose I should start packing/getting things ready for our cruise. We're leaving on the 3rd and I CANNOT WAIT.

Well, that's it for tonight. Goodnight!

I went to happy hour with Kara tonight. It was fun but there were a bunch of really annoying women sitting around us who were way too loud. So, I only had 2 beers and then left. Next week my activity with Kara will be the Ludacris/Chingy concert. WooWoo.

Tomorrow we're going to Columbia to spend the weekend with my mom and sister for my sister's 19th birthday. I'm excited to see my mom. Hopefully it won't snow or rain or anything bad this weekend.

Next week I have a ton of shit to do to get ready to leave for our cruise. I'm so excited! Have I mentioned that?

Some fuckers told me my blog was boring. All I have to say to them (and YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE FUCKERS.) is SCREW YOU. It's not boring. You are boring.

Well, that's it. I'm curious as to how this Haiti uprising thing is going to turn out. I guess we'll see in a few days. Anyway, more later!

I can't believe it's already Wednesday.

Yay, the week is half over. Today went by fast. Half of the day, I didn't even realize it was Wednesday. I guess that's a good thing.

I'm going to go workout tonight. Probably around 8pm. I don't want to have to wade through all the rugrats who are at the gym for swimming lessons. BLAH.

Dude. I don't get it. Every time I go into Victoria's Secret, I spend at *least* $100. As a matter of fact, I don't remember ever going in there and spending less than that. Bullshit I say. Bullshit.

Today it was really nice. I can't believe it's the middle of Feb. and this warm. Hopefully spring will get here fast! This weekend I'm going to visit my mom and sister for her birthday. She's going to be 19. I can't believe she's that old. She still seems like she's 5 to me. What's even more difficult to believe is the fact that in a few short years, she's going to be a doctor. Weird.

Well, I'm gone. More later!

HooHa!

I just got home from the mall. The "bad" mall. I hate this mall. Mid-Rivers another wonderful Westfield Shoppingtowne! BLAH. Anyway, I didn't find what I was looking for. The Gap didn't even have any good stuff in the store. Oh Well!

Today was a busy day. It went by pretty fast. That's really all I can say about today.

I saw today that United had a flight from Chicago to Paris roundtrip for $255. That's cheap. I want to go! I have vacation issues. I like to take vacation too much. HA!

Well, that's it. I need to think of a new way to post. This way isn't exciting me anymore.

Fake Accents....

I hate them. It's so painful obvious when someone is talking with a fake accent. Fuckers. Just talk normal.

Okay, now that that's over with....on to my day. It was an okay day until I talked to the Guardsman people (about my couch) and she was really bitchy. UGGGGHHH I was trying so hard to be very nice and very diplomatic and she was just such a bitch. Anyway, she said there was nothing they would do about replacing the whole set, so we would just have to deal with it. So, I called Goedecker's and talked to the lady who is helping me and she said she is going to look into a few things, and then talk to Steve (Goedecker) about the situation. I so hope that everything works out. I DO NOT want an unmatching set.

Well, as if that wasn't bad enough, on the way home, I noticed a tiny rock chip in my windshield (of the Volvo). WTF?!Q@#?@!# Can I not get a break? I couldn't believe it. I was so pissed. It sucks because I treat my car like a delicate piece of lace or something. I know I shouldn't, but I do. I suck.

Anyway, tonight we went to eat at Oriental Palace. The guy who works there, I think his family runs the place, he's such a cutie. However, while the food is good there, they always have the Christina Aguleria DVD playing on their 32 inch flat screen. I don't get it. EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. Strange.

Tomorrow I'm going to start working out again. I'm pretty excited because since I stopped working out, I've noticed I have less energy and just feel all around crappy. Sooo, hopefully in a week or so, I will be feeling like I used to!

I got Tulips and Roses for Valentines Day, I love them! They've made my house smell so good and they just look so pretty. I actually like fresh flowers of all kinds. I wish somebody would give me the gift of flowers every month or whatever. That would be cool.

I booked the train tickets to Chicago today. I'm excited. My last train trip to Chicago got cancelled when my mom had her accident....so hopefully this trip will work out. I can't wait to see all my friends...especially my best friend Melissa. I miss her. She's apparently having some guy drama right now, but hopefully everything will work out for her. I know we'll have a blast in March. So, the hotel is booked, and the train is reserved...so now all I need to do is go shopping for "Chicago" clothes. ha! Any excuse to shop!

Well, I know I had told some of you that Pink is the new Black. Well, it is...TRUST me on this. However, there has been a sudden turn of events. Pink is the new black, however, GREEN is apparently the new PINK. So, lets go over this one more time. PINK is the new BLACK and GREEN is the new PINK. Got it?

Good.

So, I'm watching this show called "The Littlest Groom". Uh, just one question...where do short people find clothes? I mean, like sexy clothes? I saw these women on here wearing really sexy cocktail/party dresses. Do they have them specially made? I'm interested.

Speaking of interested...I want to see the movies Hidalgo and The Passion of The Christ. I haven't been to the movies in a long time. This weekend we rented Down With Love and View From The Top. They were both really cute movies but I'm glad I didn't see them in the theatre because I don't think they were worth $8.

Well, that's enough. If I type anymore, I'll end up talking about shit that I'm sure nobody is interested in. So, more tomorrow!

Oh Bored Friday.

GUH. I am so freaking bored. My boss(s) are in Vegas and it is so quiet around here. I have nothing to do. I am all surfed out. I just wish I could screw early. (haha screw. my uncle in Boston taught me that word in context of leaving)

I think tonight we may go to the casino and then maybe go down to Felix's to see the MSG play. I think Rob is going to be down there, so we could hang with him. Tomorrow, we're going out with Beckie & RJ for dinner and desert. Wooo That should be fun. Sunday, I don't know what we're doing. Maybe hanging out with Jason and Nicole and baby Williams. We'll see.

So, I think we're going to redo our master closet and our bedroom. I can't decide on a paint color though. What bold color is warm, and goes with dark wood? All I can think of is brick red, but there has to be a different color I'm just not thinking of. OH well. Help me out people, help me out.

Did I mention I'm really bored today? I cannot even believe this. I feel like it's been 2:45 for like 4 hours. Can this day possibly get any slower?

Well, there are only like 19 days until our cruise. Woooo! Exciting. I need to do some shopping this weekend and also need to go see my hair stylist for a cut and a new do. Something fresh for spring/summer.

OH...I must share the wonderful news of our furniture. Apparently, Benchcraft or whatever the company name is has discontinued the fabric and style of our couch. So, we're kinda screwed because the furniture insurance Guardsman people don't want to pay to replace our chair and ottoman so that our set will match. WTF? I'm supposed to have an unmatching livingroom set? NO. I don't think so. Sooo, I dunno, we're waiting on a call back from a supervisor at Guardsman and we'll see what they can do. If they do what I want them to do, which is to replace the chair and ottoman too, I'm kicking around the idea of taking them to small claims court. It just really pisses me off that we paid all this money for this stupid furniture protection program but what the hell did it protect? NOTHING. That's why we have to get a new couch...and now, we're not even going to be able to find a couch that matches our chair and ottoman. I'm a little ticked off about this situation. So, in the spirit of it being Valentines time, I will think about this again on Sunday.

My neck hurts from slouching in my chair all day. I'm going to order a cot from Office Depot to put behind my desk. I could really take a nap right now.

In other news, I may have a little side job lined up as a Marketer for a porn site. I don't have a lot of details yet but, hopefully it will pan out. I should know more next week.

Well, I hope this update was snowflakes and kittens for everyone. I'll try to update again soon. I know I'm a horrible blogger for not updating everyday...but hey. Not everyone is as perfect as some people.....*ahem* Mr. Asinine.

I'm out.

...

Today was a good day! My aunt is getting married May 23rd in Miami! On a cruise boat! Then, going on a cruise. She invited us to go and I'd really like to except that we're leaving for our cruise in March and I don't know if I can convince Chris to go on another! We'll see! Either way, we're going to the wedding in Miami.

Tomorrow my bosses are leaving for the PMA Show in Vegas. Everyone is planning on partying for the rest of the week. Woo hoo I say.

For some reason, I had a lot of energy when I got home from work so I did some laundry, picked up a few things, made dinner, cleaned up and did some other stuff that I don't usually do during the week. Go me!

Wooooooooooooooo

So, I think I'm nice. I work with a guy who calls in sick all the time. He's such a loser. Anyway, his birthday is Friday so, I suggested we do something nice for him. Usually we buy lunch for everyone and have cake when it's someone's birthday. Anyway, I suggested that I bring chili (Chris makes the *best* chili ever.) and that we get a small cake or bring some doughnuts. (The guy really likes doughnuts.) So, I bring this up, and my co-worker's reaction was "you wanna bring chili for THAT guy??" hahahaha I sorta dismissed it and said "well, you know, it's for everyone!" So now, everyone likes me. Yay!

This past weekend I went to see my sister. It was fun and entertaining. Especially the ride to and from with Chris's mom. NOT. But, on the way home, we did stop to do some shopping and I got some really cute stuff from The Gap. Pink is the new black.

Anyway, back to work. I just wanted to do a quick update to let you know I'm still alive! More later...maybe!

BLAH

Well, I haven't updated in a few days. Sorry. I've just been busy with stuff. Anyway, tomorrow I'm heading out to Columbia to visit my sister. It should be fun. She just got her first apartment about a month ago, so I'm anxious to go hang out at her new pad.

I finally got my family reunion letters out. They turned out really well and a few people have already emailed me and called me to tell me how "great" they were. I can't wait until July. I'm excited to see at least a few of my extended family members. HA!

This week has been a pretty quick week I think. Today I stayed home from work...sick....yeah anyway, Thursday wasn't bad and Tuesday and Wednesday, my boss was gone. So, I guess it wasn't that bad of a week. Next week is payweek so those weeks always make me happy. Speaking of money, we already got back our state refund. That was quick for just having filed on Sunday night. Now we just wait for the federal.

I made our reservations for Chicago at the end of March. I think we're going to take Amtrak up..wait, have I already talked about this? I don't know.

Sometimes my sister asks me for the weirdest items. Like, for tomorrow, she wants me to bring a *1* lightbulb, a lunch box and an ice pack. Weird.

I've been doing laundry all day. I don't mind doing laundry, but I hate putting the laundry away. It sucks.

Well, speaking of laundry, I have to go fold some. Wooo the excitement of a Friday night!#@!# Hopefully I'll have an eventful time this weekend and have more to write about!

So I voted today. I was indecisive down to the last minute. Don't laugh, but how I voted was via "iny meenie minie mo." Yes, I admit it. It came down to Kerry & Dean, and Dean lost. And did he lose big. I'm at least glad I voted for a winner.

The weather people are saying we're supposed to get a "big storm" on Wednesday night/Thursday all day. I'm not going to believe it until it happens.

Work was okay today. My boss was gone again and this guy I really hate was gone too. It wasn't a bad day.

I'm tired. Usually when I'm tired and say I'm going to bed before 12am, I get in bed and can't sleep. I hate that. Hopefully tonight is different. Anyway, that's it. I have nothing more. Maybe tomorrow will be more exciting. I'm having lunch with Dionne and tanning. Wooo.

It's Gonna Cost You...

So, I went to the post office to mail some stuff today. I had like 3 big boxes of stuff from my work that I needed to mail. So, I pull up behind the post office to the dock area and there are 2 young guys out, unloading mail trucks. I start carrying the first box over and the 2 guys see me and start like..making faces at each other. The next thing I know, this guy comes over to me and starts chatting me up. He goes to my trunk and gets a box, and while he's in the truck he mumbles something. I asked him what he said, and he gives me this half smile and said "this is gonna cost you.." then he looks me up and down. I don't mind being flirted with, but to be so obviously preyed upon was just a little too creepy for me. Thankfully, that trip ended very quickly.

It's raining today. I miss the sun. Sun, if you are reading my blog, please come back to St. Louis. I miss you.

Well, that's all I can think of right now. I'm rather proud of myself for my recent frequent updates. Go me!

Rain Rain Go Away

What the hell. It's not supposed to rain in February. It's supposed to snow and sleet and ice. But not rain. Damn you global warming. Damn you all to hell.

Tonight we went to a superbowl party. The superbowl sucked. The commercials weren't even that good. Except for the Bud Light one...with the dog ..and then, the one with the donkey. I think AB always has great commercials. The Janet Jackson stunt was too stupid. I mean, what? You have no career so you show your tits? *shrug* whatever.

Some of Chris's mom's friends were at the party. This jewish guy was making all sorts of horrible jokes. HORRIBLE. Chris commented that he must have bought "Offensive Party Jokes"...right after he said that, the guy says "I got these jokes from an email called "Really Bad Jokes". It was just that...really bad. We left a little after we ate. I really don't enjoy the superbowl. BLAH.

So tomorrow is Monday. Wooo sense the excitement. This week shouldn't be too bad though. I have a few things going on this week after work so hopefully this week will go by fast. Maybe I'll go see my mom this coming weekend.

Well that's it. I'm tired.
