CAUTION: wierd mood ahead

So normally watching the L word makes me happy. Ya know, what's not to be happy about when watching a bunch of lesbians do their thing... be wierd and quirky, have some good lesbian drama, not to mention the hott girl on girl action.. and just all that other good stuff.


But tonight it just made me sad. I don't really know why. Maybe because it wasn't the most uplifting episode. Maybe because I was missing my girlfriend. Maybe because there weren't any good sex scenes (ha ha not really... just figured I'd throw it in there). Who really knows. But at the end I was all sad.

And it's 11:30... and I'm not tired.

I don't feel like going to work tomorrow.

I wanted to clean my room tonight and I didn't get that done.

And my tummys growling but I don't know what I want to eat.



Cripes.... could I whine a LITTLE bit more??? Good lord! I can just see the comments starting "Would you like some cheese with that wine?" Well yes... actually I think cheese would be a great snack right now. Too bad I don't have any. But thanks anyway :)

And now I really don't think I'm making any sense at all. Ar just called and we were mid discussion and she lost service cause she's all T-in it up on her way home. And that's my story.

I'm gonna go brush my teeth, get in bed, and read my book.. which will hopefully put me to sleep.

Sometimes being a girl sucks... because you get all moody and UGH stupid hormones or whatever the hell makes us moody!

I'd say thats about right....

Take the quiz: "What sex dessert are you?"

strawberries
your classy...you like it nice...but simple...you know just what you want, where you want it...IN YOUR CHAMPAGNE

As Bizzle put it... "I had a BUSY day!!"

I'm really excited... cause Ar just put comments back on her blog! And I'm well aware that I shouldn't be this excited... but I am... so deal with it :)

But let's see... I had a very busy and productive day yesterday. I got up at 8:30 and headed to the drs. Which was good ... and bad. See I haev a cyst on my face. Its right near my left ear. And it's usually no big deal... just a little bump but doesnt hurt or anything. Except the few times that its gets infected or something... and it swells up... and hurts REALLY badly and looks like a second head growing out of my face. Sounds hott, right? Well yeah... so that happened last week. And so I made an appt to go to the drs yesterday to get an antibiotic to stop the swelling. But (and I knew it was coming) Dr. Bullock told me I have to get it removed. Which sucks. He gave me the number of a plastic surgeon... since it's on my face and he doesn't want me to have a huge nasty scar. So... I'm a little freaked about it. Cause knives near my face is so not cool. And... I've never had any sort of 'procedure' done before (except my wisdom teeth but that doesnt count cause i was all doped up and OUT). And I'm a whimp. And... I don't want to have to take time off... but I know I'll have to cause the drs is in H-town... and I work in Jersey... so ... we'll see. I'm hoping to have this all over and done with before the end of April. So ... I'll be keeping you all posted! I know... exciting isn't it?

But then I came home, chatted with Donna for a while and went to go get my brows waxed. Diane did a lovely job, no worries. Then headed to CVS, dropped off my prescriptions, stopped at Wawa to get $$ and went to pick up the one and only Laura K Collins (aka
the admiral) to go to lunch with her. We went to Guliftys (and yeah... I have NO idea how to spell that). It was super fun. I had another amazing waitress experience -- she was FANTASTIC! Too bad there was no comment card or else I would have given her glowing reviews as well. But Collins and I had a fantastic time, we were there for almost 3 hours! It was really nice catching up. That girl sure does make me laugh.

Then after lunch, I dropped Collins off and went straight to D's. We headed to Babys R Us to get Tara a shower gift and D also bought a jogging stroller for Bizzle (which was a whole 3 trip ordeal... but I'll let that be).


Speaking of... here's a picture of miss bizzle and the 'castle' she made for her my little pony...

too cute
Posted by Hello



Then we went to the Springfield Mall because we both had City Cash to NY & Co. I bought some shirts and a belt. All very lovely. Then I went back to D's, Bizzle begged me to stay and play 'just for 5 minutes.' So I did, we played leggos and it was fun. then I ran to CVS to pick up my prescription and went to dinner with the fam.

And when I say fam I mean FAM... it was me, mom, dad, Aunt Jan, Glo, Dooze, Cookie, Gram and Aunt Jo. Yeah... it was a lot. But we had a good time. I got this YUMMY chicken thing and then my dad and I split a dessert special called HOTT LOVE. Well it was called hot love with one t, but I prefer it with two. And it was DELISH!

Then I went home, tried on my clothes, picked out new sheets and a duvet cover for my room at home, talked to Ar (and she calmed me down cause I was all worked up about the cyst surgery stuff... God bless that girl. She knows how to handle me SO well its amazing). Then I went to sleep and didn't wake up until 12:30!!!

D called and begged me to go BACK to Babys R Us with her to exchange the stroller, then we went to Taco Bell for dinner (and I ordered the wrong thing... oops). And now I'm hangin out with mom and dad before I head back to Jersey.

Whew... what a weekend!!!

This was a long and uneventful post... but shhhh pretend you read it :) That will make me happy.



The Oscars are on tonight... I'm excited to watch them if I'm home. And also the L Word. YESSSSSSSS!!!! I love my little lesbian show.

And now you should all go to
arsbars.com and comment all over the place so Ar feels special and doesn't take them away again. Just make sure theyre NICE comments ... thats all I ask :)

Heat in Havertown....

So.... anyone who's been to my parents house in the winter knows that its ass cold. And when I say cold I mean... like sometimes its WARMER outside. Which isn't right, considering there's SNOW on the ground outside right now. But my parents have this thing with heat (it's more my dad... but ya know... they're a unit so I group them together). But my dad only has the addition heated... since thats where most of our time is spent. So when you walk IN the house is SUPER cold. And if we ever have dinner at the table in the dining room.... I practically need to wear gloves. And when you do get to the addition (which is where the kitchen and living area are), its still not WARM. But you THINK its warm because everywhere else is SO cold.

And the heat in the addition is timed... So its set for 60 (yeah... can we even consider that HEAT???) for 10p-5p. So for most of the day... the room is cold. then at 5p the heat timer jumps it up to like 65... and then at 10pm when my parents go up to bed... it goes back to 60 degrees.

So whatever... that's the wierd thing about heat in Havertown. And it's not just my parents. I know other people in Havertown who do the same thing... its like some wierd Havertown-y thing.

But anyway... so the heat in my room is actually COMPLETELY broken. So even though its set to like 60 degrees... if you touch the radiator in my room its COLD. Like not warm... but ICE COLD. So there's no heat in my room. But my dad, owning the hardware store that he does, brough home a mini electric radiator that you can plug in. So I usually crank that baby up and it gets BOILING in there. And I love it. So last night I forgot to turn it on before I went to Ds. So I got home and my room was frigid... as in I swear I could almost see my breath. But I figured I'd plug it in, turn it on and then brush my teeth and stuff and it would start to warm up (my room is the size of a very small box... it doesnt take too long to heat up). So.... I get in bed and its starting to at least get a little warm... and in the middle of the night I woke up FREEZING. Like my face was numb and I couldn't feel my hands...

So when I got up this morning... I realized that the heat was turned off. It like blew a fuse or something.

And that's my story :)

Off to have a productive day!!!

I wish everyday was FRIDAY

11 minutes and I'm out of here... what a super short and fantastic week!

Today wasn't bad at all. But next week is Tara's last week... so that's not so good. Because... I'll hate my job more than I already do for the next 12 weeks. But we'll see what happens.

Right now I'm gonna pack up and head to H-town! Then next week it's off to Beantown again :)

And that's my story kids! Keepin this one short and sweet.

Happy f'in FRIDAY!!!!!

Just Call me SUZIE HOMEMAKER

So I just made my lunch for tomorrow... want to know what I have??? Cause I'm way too excited about it..

Well for breakfast I have a clemintine, strawberries and a yogurt (Raspberry Dannon Light n Fit to be exact). So that's exciting. Then for lunch tomorrow I have a peanut butter sandwhich on whole wheat bread, a green apple, a clemitine, a mini side salad AND a fat free snack pack (vanilla and chocolate swirl pudding). And Good lord I couldn't be more excited about it. And its all weight watchers friendly. See.. if I really wanted to I could get back on that diet NO problems. Its just a matter of going to the food store for produce all the time. Because all that comes to .... 12 points. So I'd still have 10 left for dinner. And come on... thats plenty of food for anyone!

And I was all quite impressed with myself tonight because I made a well ballanced meal for dinner. I bought talapia at Wegmans. It was had this light breading on it - just bread crumbs and dijon mustard. So I baked that in the oven straight up, made a little salad and brocolli and there it was! A meal with veggies and everything.

And let me tell you I've just been suzie homemaker tonight. I was going to make muffins, but the bitches upstairs borrowed our muffin pans like 4 weeks ago and havent returned them yet. I went up to get them but they didn't answer the door. But I did make dinner, my lunch, did some laundry, did all the dishes, cleaned up my room, and went to the food store. So I mean, ok maybe not SUZIE homemaker... but I've been productive. And that makes me happy.

Now I'm gonna go watch Surviver and unpack from Boston and pack for Havertown (as that's where I'll be heading tomorrow after work). I have a Drs appt at 9:30am on Saturday. Good times Good times.

It was funny (but scary) because SHE HAD NO PANTS ON...

So... I've been MIA. Well not really MIA... because yall know that I was in Boston.. for 5 days. And good lord was it fun. Really. Like .. it was perfect. Other than the fact that it was a bit cold... it was perfect. And even the cold wasnt THAT bad. I mean at the time I'm sure I was bitching and complaining (ok i know I was ... just ask Ar...) but looking back I'm all it wasnt THAT bad. And it was totally worth it to get to spend some time with my sexy lady and NOT HAVE TO WORK FOR 5 DAYS!! Since I started at Millennium (which was Aug 15, 2003) I haven't had more thatn 4 days off in a row. So to have 5 days off was amazing. Simply wonderful.

Here's the quick rundown:

Friday:
Came home after work and packed my car, then headed up to Boston. I left by 6:15 and got there around 10:30ish. I didn't stop at all which was good and bad... but when I got there I downed a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and then went right to sleep. (Ar had already been sleepin from the NyQuil - and speaking of nice work everyone with naming Dennis Learys No Cure for Cancer in the last post).

Saturday:
Ar got up and went to work. And I slept... and slept... and slept. Then she called around 1 and woke me up. So I showered, and headed off to the good old Bikeway Source and brought her and her boss lunch. She was busy when I got there so I just hung out for a while watching all the little bike people do their things. It was pretty fun actually. Then Ar and I ate when she finished doing her bike stuff. (And can I mention that a girl with tools... who actually knows how to use them is DAMN hott? But I know that might be more info than some of you care for... so I'll leave it at that). I then went to Barnes and Noble and did my thing. Got some tea. Read my book. Journaled. Listened to my iPod. It's nice me time. I've come to really like that store. Then I headed back to the shop at 6 and went out to dinner with Ar, her boss (Eric) and his wife. We had a really nice time. And Eric's wife is a riot! So that was a treat.

There was also an episode at some point during the night when I got up to go to the bathroom and when I came out of the bathroom was greeted by Ar's roommates new girlfriend (who is in her 40s..... so like mom age). So Donna (thats her name... like my MOM because theyre around the same age) was standing there, a little bit trashed, waiting for the bathroom WITH NO PANTS ON! I was like oh my god... you just have a tshirt on... wow.... ok.. it was so disturbing. And she was all trying to have a conversation and stuff and I was like ok well great to meet you! and bolted back to Ar's room where we both laughed about it for a good half hour. Cause... hi! She had no pants on! It was TOO bizarre. Not to mention the fact that ar's roommate has like whips and S&M shit in her room... which scares me. A lot. But thats a WHOLE other story... she really is nice though. And what she does in bed is none of my business. Cept when what she does in bed meets me outside the bathroom PANTLESS!!!!! Ok... I'm digressing...

Sunday:
Got up when Ar went to work. Did stuff around her apartment. Did some jornaling, dishes, showered, blow dried my hair, talked to shell for a while... then ar got done work at 5 and came home. Then we ventured into the city to see the L Word at some club. But had the times mixed up and missed it (which ended up being SO fine). We met up with her friend Christina at a bar and then went to her (really nice) apt in the city to watch the premiere. We got food to go at the bar and I ate my burger while watching the L word. It was fantastic. And Christina was super nice. Then Ar and I headed home and went to bed.

Monday:
It snowed!!! So we slept in. Super late. Like... uhm til I think 3 or 4. At which point we got hungry. So we got up and walked to the Dockside - this cute little pub place a few blocks from her apt. (htown people it reminds me of the OKP). So we walked there - in the snow, but it was fun. Ate and then went to Blockbuster and rented movies and got a coloring book and crayons at Walgreens then walked back to her apt. And we curled up on the couch and watched the Hillary Duff movie we rented. I think it was called Stand Up or something like that. It was cute though. Sadder than we anticipated, but still cute. Then went to sleepy.

Tuesday:
We ventured into the city!!! It was ASS cold. And I think I whined more than I meant to... but we walked to the T, took that in and then walked all over the city. We went to a really good place for lunch - Grafton Street Pub or something. And our waitress was super sweet and nice. I loved her. At one point she was like 'can I get you another of whatever it was I brought you to drink?' and I was all 'oh its diet pepsi' and she just goes 'good! super! great news!' in this really innocent voice. It was funny. Ar and I filled out a survey and gave her glowing remarks - she then said she wanted to put it on the fridge - but figured shed give it to her boss instead. So right, then we walked down Mass Ave from Cambrige into Boston. And then walked down Newburry Street where there are a gazillion stores. Then I was cold so we went home. Walked back to her apt. Cleaned off her car and went to her shop to get my car. We hit up Friendlys for dinner (really just ice cream) and then went back to her apt. And we watched the Notebook. And WOAH was it sad. REALLY good. But super sad. But I enjoyed it. Then we headed to bed.

Wedensday:
Ar got up and went to work. And I slept in. Then I got up, packed and showered. Then I made a little scavenger hunt of notes around Ar's room. I wrote her a little about every month I've known her (yesterday was our 5 month anniversary). And on the back of each note was where to find the next. I just wanted her to have something fun to do when she got home from work last night so she wouldn't be too sad that I left. And yeah I totally bit the idea off when she did that for me when she went to Boston. So... that was really fun doing, and I think she liked her little treat when she got home. I met her at work around 5ish, hung out, then we went and got sushi for dinner. And then I hit the road at 8 and was home by midnight.

And today it was back to work. But we got out early because of the snow! So that was REALLY fun. Shari and I went to the foodstore, I came home, made dinner and now Im gonna throw in a load of laundry and do some other stuff... and that's my plan.



I'll probably write more later - cause I have no roommate tonight and am bored.
Tomorrow's already Friday!!!!

(and I'm listening to the Tarzan Soundtrack... FUCK I LOVE PHIL COLINS!!!)


Friday, February 18, 2005

Wow... I've been quite the slacker, huh? But I feel like it's ok because I've been sick... so I'll blame it on that and then it'll be ok.

I am alive though, no worries. Because I know you were all SOOO worried. hahaha.

Let's see... Tuesday morning I woke up with a wretched cough, no voice and all achy. I went to work though because Tara was out. Then Wed I woke up feeling worse. So I called Nancy, told her I'd be in late and went to the Drs. Though I had to pay 100 bucks out of pocket because Aetna sucks and they didnt' take my insurance... it was worth it to get the DRUGS!!! I got to work around 12:30 and left at like 5:15. I was a beast on Wed. Then yesterday I didn't come in until 12:30. I just slept til like 11ish which was amazing. And stayed til 6ish. And today... I got here at the regular time... and am actually feeling much better.

I still have a really hott hacking cough... but ya know, what are ya gonna do? hahaha. I'm hoping to get to Boston either tonight or tomorrow morning. And I'm off Monday, Tuesday AND Wednesday! FIVE DAYS!!!! So I'll be able to relax and recoup. I'm stoked.

Ar is sick now though. And I feel horribly. Because a) I know how shitty it feels to be sick and b) her insurance hasnt kicked in yet so she cant really go to the Drs yet :( But she did take Nyquil last night at 6... and I haven't really heard from her since. I talked to her for like 2 minutes... but she was definately in that NyQuil drugged up world ('NyQuil, NyQuil we love you, you giant fucking Q' ... if ANYONE can name what that quote is from I'll be SO beyond impressed...).

Anyway, I'm pretty swamped at work, so I'm gonna go. Just wanted to check in. I'll be in Bosont until Wed, so I'll keep you all posted on my big weekend up there. I have a feeling its going to consisit of a lot of TLC and soup making. But I'm fine with that. It will be great to just relax and hang out :)


Happy Presidents Weekend!!

Tuesday, February 15, 2005

i sound like a man... its HOTT

i got it... i finally got sick. for the past 3 months everyone at work has been getting all kinds of colds and the flu and shit.... and i kept being like wow! i havent gotten it yet!


but then i woke up this morning. i couldnt talk. i was hacking up a lung. and i was all sorts of achy and kept shivering. it was awesome really. but taras out... so i had to go into work. it wasnt TOO bad. i just sort of stared at my computer and got done what absolutely had to be done and then left at like 5ish. so that was nice.

and now im home with some gatorade, cough drops, other assorted cold/flu meds and digorno pizza for dinner. (its not delivery... its digorno! i love that slogan... cause im a dork).

sooooo thats about all i have to report as of now. im hoping to be back to at least 80% by thursday as ill be heading to boston for a super long weekend on friday. super long meaning im off monday, tues AND wed. crazy, eh? and miss arleigh has off mon and tues. i cant f'in wait to just hang out and chill with her.

and that's my story to report. im gonna eat my pizza, drink some more hydrating beverages and head to bed. hopefully sleep will help :)


oh! and a random sidenote - it was LIGHT out on my drive home from work today!!!! like i didnt need to turn my headlights on or anything! theres hope that winter WILL end someday :)

A Dozen Eggs... right on the kitchen floor

(i know this color clashes horribly - but cut me some slack its valentins day)

I'm not going to the gym tonight. It's cold and rainy... and I just can't get motivated. I figured I'll do laundy and hopefully that will make up for the lack of cardio that I'll be doing today.

I'm in a bit of a funk today. And I'm not sure why. I think I just hate Mondays... there's plenty of reasons:

* we have to listen to ADB (the lame AM station at work... that plays depressing old music all day)
* it's the furthest day til the weekend
* i'm usually a bit tired
* ar is usually not around

And those are really the only reasons I have. hahaha. And I mean there is 24 - and Jack Bauer brightens up my day more than a tv show probably should. But hey, ya gotta take the little things in life. And I did get a cute valentines day card from my mom and one from gram. Theyre too cute those ladies. And Ar's mom sent me a package this weekend with sports bras and tank tops and a scarf she made. SOOOOO fun I tell you!!!

So I guess today isn't all that bad. Oh! But what was bad, was how I dropped a bunch of eggs on the floor when I came home for lunch today. OOPS!!! But its all cleaned up and the like. So thats good.

(ok... the darks are in the dryer and the whites are on their way to being clean)

So I've decided that I'm going to have a Jeannie night. Not that I have much of a choice as my roommate won't be home until later and I've already nixed the gym... but I'm going to read more of my book (yes - it is a trashy romance novel.... but its not all that trashy because I'm on page like 150 and there hasnt even been any sex yet... I mean really!!). Then I might journal. But I'm not sure if I feel like doing that. But I also want to write some letters. Definately to Tines because she's sent me like 3 from Cali and I haven't written her back at all. Woops. And then of course Jack Bauer at 9er.

So... those are my exciting Valentines day plans. You know you're jealous! heehee.

Saturday, February 12, 2005

Five hours up, five hours back... but the in between is so worth it....

I've been slacking. I know, I know... but what are ya gonna do? I actually had to WORK at work this week (which is crap if you ask me), and I went to the gym at night. So at least I was being productive while neglecting my lil bloggy here.

But right now... I'm in BOSTON! Well not so much Boston exactly, as I'm at the good old Bikeway Source in Bedford, Mass. It's such a cute lil shop.

But yeah I left work last night at 5:45 and got here by 10:30... so thats less than 5 hours. Not too shabby. And I hit some traffic in Hartford or somewhere in stupid CT. I got over the GWB with no problems, and the Cross Bronx was a breeze... though everytime I go through that section of the drive I get all sad and miss college. But... it's fun to navigate the Cross Bronx again, I like a challenge on the road. And I get to pretend that I'm a Ram Van driver :)

But yeah, today we got up, I drove Ar to work and then went to the library. Yeah thats right the library. And read my book for like 2 hours. Then I got us sushi for lunch, ate it here and then headed off to the mall. But I wasn't even in a shopping mood... wierd, right???? I tried and tried and tried. Even went to J f'in Jill and didn't find anything. And then I went to Barnes and Noble and read some more and journaled a bit. And now I'm pickin up the lovely lady and we're gonna go play in the city tonight. Or something to that effect. I really don't care what we do, I'm just happy she's done work :)




So... good night!!
Happy weekend :)


Wednesday, February 9, 2005

I'm in a shockingly good mood today! I have no idea why. I just got up and was all happy and awake in the shower. So that was a treat :) Then I got to work and totally forgot that Tara was off today, so that was an added bonus. Though I'm sure it'll be crazy with her out - we'll see how the day goes.

I keep thinking its Thurs... and its definately not. It's actually ASH Wednesday... I don't think I'll be attending mass today, which I feel pretty badly about. Man, Easter is SO early this year! It's like 2 days before my birthday! Eeekads!

So this morning I've been trying to plan out some days off during Tara's maternity leave. Because I want to get them in and all situated before she leaves so there will be no question once she's gone. I'm going to take off March 28th (Easter Monday) and also April 29 (for an Ani concert in boston!!!) So those are the only two as of now.... but that should get me through a bit. Cause then in May we get Memorial day. So I'll have a day off every month while T's gone, which I think will be good for me. hahaha.

Ok... it's time for me to get to work now that its 9:33. I'm sure there will be more fun later today as I don't think I'll be TOO busy.

Happy HUMP Day!!!!

short and sweet

I just have one thing to say:



I miss her.....

Monday, February 7, 2005

Is there even a QUESTION....



So one of my best friends from high school recently started a blog (mainly because she wanted to comment and didn't know she could anonymously and so she signed up and everything which is just funny... but thats besides the point). So one of her posts for today (Important Poll) posed an 'importat poll'....

Who is more appealing to listen too and look at OVERALL:

BARRY MANILOW
----or----
PHIL COLLINS???

Now really people... is there even a question??? Barry Manilow may write some fine tunes (Ohhhh MANDY)... but that doesn't even put him CLOSE to phil.

First there were the Gensis years... with such fine tues as:
Throwin it all Away
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight.....(WOAH-OOOOH) (ok - not the best title... but good song)
Hold on My Heart
Invisible Touch


The list goes on and on... and then solo Phil just took it up another notch. Even before the Tarzan soundtrack I was hooked....

Against All Odds
Sussudio
One More Night
Two Hearts
(beating in just one time... or something like that)
You Can't Hurry Love


I mean the list goes on and on.... (and yes all of those songs are on his greatest hits album.. that I'm NOT afraid to say I own).

But then... to top it all off, good old Phil goes and does the Tarzan soundtrack. That You'll be In My Heart song makes me tear up everytime I hear it! There's just SUCH emotion.... god I love it!!!! And when he teams up with NSync and does Trashin the Camp... another winner! He does ballads, he does a capella, he even does a little pop...

How could Barry possibly be better?

Not to mention the fact that Phil is SO much hotter than Barry Manilow. Cause he looks like a child molestor version of Rod Stewart!



Now if any of you know Phil personally... here's what needs to happen. You need to call him up and tell him that it would be a HUGE seller if his label would release a double disk greatest hits... the first disc would be all GENSIS and the second would be solo Phils greatest (though are any of them NOT greatest hits??? je pense que non!!) <--- apparently when I get really fired up about something I slip into french mode... wierd I didn't even mean to type that. hahaha.

Is it wrong to shower before going to the gym?

It's already been quite a productive day... and it's not even 2:30 yet! I got up around 8:30ish when Ar called on her way to work. Chatted with her for a while and then couldn't get back to sleep... because I'm cool and went to bed last night at like 11ish. But I'm over it - you all know of my dorkdom, I feel no need to hide it :)

Then my mom came in my room at like 9:15 all decked in her Eagles gear telling me that it was almost time to go to the gym. (I asked if I could go with her to the gym this morning as a guest because I thought that would be a good idea). So I got up, showered (I know - who showers before they go to the gym? Well I do... apparently everyone seems to think theres soemthing VERY wrong with that. But if you know me at all you should know that I can't function unless I shower when I get up. Even in the summer at 6am when I'd get up to ride on the weekends I'd shower first... cause I like to be clean. the end. wow... that was a long ( )ed comment...). So yeah I showered then went to the gym with my mom. I did lots of cardio and then my mom showed me all kinds of fun things to to. Some easy lifting stuff and then some stuff with those big balls (heads out of the gutters please). It was pretty fun. Oh and I got a roll of film developed... it was from the polly weekend in Hoboken - but the roll started in Jan of 04... and thats funny.

So then I came home, had some soup for lunch and sewed a button back onto one of my favorite pairs of pants that have been out of the rotation lately because well... the button was missing. Then I showered again (like I said... I'm a freak), blow dried my hair and am now ready to go!!

My plan is to do as follows... in no particular order:

* go visit Diane and get the brows waxed
* head to Commerce to deposit all of my change from the year
* go to my dads store to get a copies of keys made
* maybe take a nap - wouldnt THAT be fun

Then tonight we're having meatloaf for dinner. Brother is home too, so we'll have a nice family dinner and then I'm off to D's to hang tonight.

Tomorrow is 9:30 am mass with the girls and then we're all going out to breakfast. And then of course... the SUPERBOWL!!!!




I think thats about it for now! I do so love the weekend....

Wow... so today has been CRAZY!!! First of all I had two meetings this morning... now I never have meetings. Let alone TWO and on a FRIDAY! So I barely even took my coat off and it was already 11:45!

And we had to get ALL of our orders in so they showed up on the reports this afternoon and I had a shitload of orders. Plus continuing was a nightmared today because everything was missing....

So I've been crazy all day... but I'm finally back on track! Aren't you excited? I even had lunch with Shari and Tara in the conference room... we ordered Fins (babe - thats the place we went for taccos that one night - it has like a surfer theme to it) and it was SOO yummers!

But in a half an hour I'm heading home to H-town for the weekend which should be good. Just what I need. A weekend home to relax and sleep in!!!! I'm super excited about it :)

I'm still not sure what I'm doing for the game on Sunday... I'll probably just hang around H-town and see what's goin on there. Then I am gonna take my lunch break on Monday in the morning and come in at 9:30. Good times, eh? I thought so too...



This is a pretty lame post... but you'll deal cause its Friday. And that should make up for the lameness.

Have a great weekend!!!!

E-A-G-L-E-S
EAGLES!

should we make fun of me NOW or LATER

So the two posts that didnt go through today.. in fact did...

And that's why I look like a jackass....

And I know that I could go back and delete one of them so I don't look foolish.... but what fun would that be?

See.... right now what I'm doing is opening a window of opportunity for all of you.... TO MAKE FUN OF ME!!!


so go for it... I'm ready :)

sucking a cows udder

Whew.. ok the post went through... good to know!

Now I dont really have anything to say, but I just wanted to make sure that should I have the dying urge to post.. it would let me. Whew! I feel much better.

What I dont feel good about is the fact that yesterday when I went to buy milk they were out of skim.... so I was all, ok, I'll get 1%... and they were out of that too!!!! So now I'm having Total for dinner (with a nanner cut up in it... DELISH) and freakin its like the cereal is in ice cream this 2% milk is so thik!!! Can you tell I'm not big on milk? Does a body good whatever! Everytime I drink milk all I can think of is sucking a cows udder. And I know thats f'ed up of me and all and I probably have issues... but really... thats all I can think!!!!! I hope you have that thought now too the next time you take a sip of milk. Oh... unless it's chocolate milk - then I can gulp that shit down. hahaha

Kelly is at Kevins tonight again... so me and pyscho kitty are chillin. Though I did get my ass to the gym which was good. Now I'm gonna go pack my breakfast and lunch for tomorrow and fold my laundry.

Sounds like fun, eh?

And at 9er I'll talk to miss arleigh :)



OH.... and happy groundhogs day

testing....

ok... i tried to post TWICE at work today and it wouldnt go through.... so before i write anything.... this is simply a test :)

An hour and 9 minutes to go....

I just wrote a whole long post... and it didnt go through :(

Oh well... all it really said was that I'm having a rough day and I walked into a picture on the wall and almost knocked it down. hahah. Nice work jeannie!

And that I was excited because aunt jo sent me muffins and I got them today!!!! That was fun.

And that I was having a tough time deciding between a kit kat and an almond joy for my treat from Elises office today.... which would you have gone with? I chose the almond joy. it was joyous!

And I just printed tomorrows log and one of the orders didnt have commercials assigned to it... so now I'm reprinting it..... what a day?!





Tonight:
gym
dinner
watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

An hour and 9 minutes to go....

There are a thousand and two things I could be doing right now... but I needed to take a breather for the moment.

I'm so out of it right now that I just walked RIGHT into a picture on the wall. Like the fram juts out... oh say an inch... and I walked RIGHT into it... it almost fell and everything. I'm glad Elise was there to witness it because it was pretty funny... but I think that just goes to show how fantastic a day I'm having. And I didnt even know what kind of candy I wanted... kit kat or almond joy???? (I went with the almond joy because it was on top).


But I did get muffins from aunt jo today... there are cappucino ones and some other sort of vanialla muffins with chocolate things on top... they look DELISH!!!! I cant wait to have one for breakfast tomorrow :)

Ok.... I just needed to take a breather from work. I think I got it out of my system, now I can get back to sorting through my bills.

I think I'm going to try to come into work early tomorrow to get stuff done as I'm super overwhelmed.

We'll see.... I doubt it'll happen, but thats what I'm thinking as of now.




Tonight:
gym
dinner
then watching Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind

WARNING: venting ahead

I'm SO super frustrated right now... so feel free to ignore this and not read it at all... as its just going to be me bitching about my job for a few minutes.

For starters it bothers me that Tara is going out on maternity leave in the begining of March and still no one has told me whats going to happen when shes out. So is she just going to leave for 12 weeks and I'm supposed to do her job, plus my original job plus old merediths job???? Cause I'm sorry... I'm good at what I do, but shit I'm not that good! I can't be three people. I will go insane. I cant do 2 logs, put in orders for 2 stations, bill 2 stations, all the while continuing 3. Shit just doesn't work that way.

But I'm sure that's how its going to be... and damn it I better get more $$ for it, otherwise they're really going to be f'ed.

Also, so we billed today. Now billing was never my job. But we got the new traffic system, and all of a sudden I have to bill WCHR too. Which whatever, is fine... but no one even met with me to get my thoughts on it, it was just time to bill last month and the trainers sat down to show me how to do it. And Tara was like 'yeah I just want you to learn so that when I'm out you'll know how to bill' but... I'll be billing from now on I'm sure. I just wish things like that would be approached in a different mannor.

So yeah... I've never billed before. I need to know what invoices need to be pulled out so they dont get mailed, I need to know what to do with co-op, I need to know the procedure for all of this. So I ask Tara and shes like oh uhm just pull out x, y and z....

So I start, I get about halfway through my stack of bills (about 500 pages) and shes like oh yeah you need to pull out all of the unapplied credits as well. So whatever, I start over, go through it all again and start pulling them out. I'm back at about halfway and she's all 'and you should really staple them as well' Soo.... now I'm back at the begining and just couldn't go through the stack AGAIN.

So here's me venting.

I think thats all....

People are just pissing me off today....




Sorry bout all the madness... I think I'm going to go home for lunch now. Throw in some laundry. Get a bag together for the gym. And have some food.

And hopefully I'll be more setteled down when I get back..... heehee

Ok... deep breathes jeannie... its really not that bad.

im HOME

thats right... im posting from the comforts of my bedroom!!! how fun is that?

and dont worry... i am getting all of those fun things done that were on my to do list for the night. including laundry, jack bauer, dinner, PJs, and talkin to ar (an not necessarily in that order).

but i just wanted to share my joy of internet with all of you!! so super fun!



and i just got note #2 from ar (of the 3 that she has placed in my room).... this one was taped behind a picture hanging up on my wall.

for any of you reading this who know her - she got there safely this afternoon and is settling into her apartment. she said the turtles are freaking her out a bit because theyre so big. but she went to the 'market' and got food, then did a test drive to work to see how long it will take tomorrow and also hung out at barnes and noble for a while.

and thats the update for now!




im SOOOOOO excited about my internet at home!!!!

YAY!



thanks for getting me all set up before you left baby :)

ps....

I'm just ignoring the anonymous commentor... because it'll drive me BONKERS if I try to figure out who you are.... SHEESH!

Bring on FEBRUARY

I'm just a posting machine today!!! Can you tell that

a) the day is dragging
b) I'm unmotivated
and
c) I'm bored?

But... I did realize that it's FEBRUARY today. Which is fun for a few reasons. One is that its a short month, so it'll be March soon and March is the best month of all (ahem ahem whip out your calendars my birthday is on the 29th). Also in Feb we celebrate all those wonderful presidents (luckily not our current one - or else I'd come to work just to show how anti-bush I am)... and I get a 3 day weekend. And since I'm so cool, I turned it into a 5 day weekend and took off tues and wed as well. Whats not fun about February is that I can never spell it correctly and it's still winter. But other than that, I welcome February with open arms!

Now that we got that all out of the way - want to know my plans for tonight??? You know you do! I'm going to stop at the store, get some fabric softener and milk (how grownup and boring does THAT sound), then head home to have something for dinner. Not quite sure what. I'll probably get in my PJs even before I eat dinner... I'll do some laundry (it got so bad that I wore a skirt to work yesterday... hahaha everyone was worried). Then I'm gonna get in bed, and watch 24 for last week and from last night. I'm excited!!! Rommate Kelly is gonna be up North at Kevins taking care of him as he has walking pnemonia (another word I dont do well with spelling). So it'll be me and psycho I'm-all-high-from-the-cat-nip kitty.

Then I'll talk to Ar and eventually go to sleep.

Then I'll get up and come to work again tomorrow... ohhh the joys of the 8:30-5:30 world!




a simple request....

dear commenters....

ok... so apparently there are people who read this... which is wierd. but i guess thats why its there, right???

but heres my request... if you comment (and i SO love when people do because im a dork like that... but thats no secret) can you let me know who you are???

that would make me life MUCHOS more fun :)

the end :)
looooove
jeannie

she's off to boston....

Sorry I've been gone for a while... I know you all were just missing me and my oh-so-interesting posts :) But never fear, I'm back! And I sort of have internet at home. The computer is slightly possessed and sometimes the mouse takes over and just opens shit up... but regardless ar hooked up my internet last night, so that should be fun! As long as spazzy computer doesn't freak out TOO much.

Lets see - the weekend was good. Fri was the work party which went well. It wasn't nearly as crappy as I thought it was going to be. I got to wear a pretty dress and the hot suede shoes aunt jan got my for christmas. Ar wore her plaid pants that i love cause they make her ass look good hahahaha. And she made me drink a lot (they had malibu.. what can I say?) We left around 10:30 and headed back to OG.

Saturday I got up at 10 (and was f'in hung over... the hell???), and cleaned and got ready for fish and kell to arrive. They came at like 1ish and we went to Nagles (chose your own pronnunciation for that as they sure did... it was hysterical) for lunch. We all ate nasty, greasy food and it was fantastic! Then we played scrabble and laughed a LOT. Then headed out to the Gap and then fish and kell headed back to philly and ar and i went to get some SUSHI! it was great... edamame is my new favorite food. That shit is so great (thanks to ali for introducing it to me in annapolis!!!!).

Sunday Ar and I slept in, then I made french toast in true weekend fashion and we laid around and watched TLC for a while. Then we went to see In Good Company which I totally loved... and then we went to Basil T's for dinner because I had a gift certificate there. We ate a LOT and got even more stuff wrapped up which was fun and then came home and watched Supersize Me. It was really good... but I don't think I'll be eating McD's anytime soon... which I'm SO fine with after seeing what it did to that guy! Sheesh!!! Totally nasty!

And yesterday I headed back to work. Then I got home last night and ar and I packed up her car, she hooked up my internet, and I was sad.... She got up at 5 and left by 6ish. I didn't get much sleep last night... I think I fell asleep around 1ish, was up and 5 and never really fell back to sleep. But... the move is good for her. The job is going to be amazing, and she's gonna kick ass at the good old Bikeway Source. And I'll get up there enough to see her, I'm sure of it. It'll just be different for a while.

I miss her so much already and she's not even THERE yet. Eek...



In other news... can you please say a prayer for fish's pop pop? He had to go to the hospital yesterday... I haven't heard anything from her yet... but just say a prayer for pop pop Fisher. I hope everythings ok.

Ok... time to start working. I'm sure I'll write more later...
