Wowsers. Today has been busy as a mofo. The phones rang literally non-stop for the entire 8 hours, and I only managed to slip away for a quick trip to the pharmacy. We need a 2nd person here on Saturdays. It would make things run more smoothly, for sure. Man, what a headache! And speaking of... finally got the monthly crampolas, too. Stress gave me an entire week full o' bad moods and worse eyesight.
But I had fun on my day off this past Thursday. John and I went to the batting cages and also drove around the track on go-karts. All this, and Tom Petty's Greatest Hits on the stereo driving from one location to the next. Heavenly.
Did I mention earlier that we downloaded the original Oregon Trail? I play to see Donnie (the new tech) get dysentery. ;)

I had a really bad night the other night. I wish I could just get over my phobia of vomiting because I'm sure it would save me from a lot of nausea and panic attacks. But I'm better now, thanks to my good friend Mary Jane.
The boy who makes me melt like a peanut butter cup in a sauna is moving in a week. I'm still in denial.
Does anyone out there own one of these? I'm thinking of buying one and I wanted a review or two.

I just read something funny and literally spit on my LCD screen. I've never done that before.
This morning was fun. I went to a race that John was in. That boy is a fast mofo! And I have no idea how he was able to run in shorts in 20-something degree weather...
Ohhhh! I just got a new cubicle at work! It's crazy... I have never worked in a cubicle before. I like saying that word. cu-bic-le. Apparently they waited to put them in until my day off on purpose because they knew my jaw would drop when I walked in and saw it. And to answer questions ahead of time, that couple in the frame is a random mullet picture that I found at a thrift store (which makes me laugh every time I look at it). And the smaller frame is a photo of the cast of the Facts of Life. I used to pride myself on only having photos up of people I didn't know... but now that I have walls, I added another. (oh... and the polaroid on the right wall is no other than Ceridwen and Spacebob!).
If you want to see some amazing paintings on ceramic tiles, look at my friend David's site. He is one of the most incredible artists I have ever known. And the one on the 3rd row down, all the way to the right is of me in 1998.
Paul's motorcycle is almost running, so I will soon get to ride beeeeee-otch!

So last weekend was a bunch of fun. I went to a bourbon party which most of my co-workers attended, as well. This girl Lauren and I kicked some buttocks in pool. Then we all sat around the TV and bet on horses for a while. In the morning, John and I went to another party over his friend's house which consisted of a yummy breakfast, drinking in the morning, and gambling.
That jerk who broke into my apartment stole 2 surge protectors, too. What an annoyance!
On a much brighter note, here is the cutest photograph on my hard drive. *swoon*
I don't get to chat with Miss Bekah much anymore, as she is back in school (as I hope to be soon) as well as working. Busy lady! But I hear that she's doing well and enjoying herself, so I'm proud.
Sobe cranberry grapefruit Elixir is some good stuff. Try it.

Today is going by slowly. Perhaps it's due to the fact that I don't do well in social situations, and I'll be finding myself in one of those on this very evening? I suppose I'm a tad edgy. Tomorrow will be yet another social situation, but at least John will be at that one.
Dale and I had a funny conversation today. I think we're hanging out sometime next month, which will be cool. It has been a while.
A certain female friend of mine is on her way to pick me up. I'm going to set her up on a date with someone this week. What fun! She doesn't know this yet, so shhhhh!
Oh, forgot to mention that my old (fire) apartment was broken into before I got all my papers and crap out... so I needed to cancel all my credit cards, bank accounts, etc. They stole my old digital camera which didn't have cables or software, a broken manual camera, and two cell phones from Philly. Uhhh...
School starts in June if I want in. I think I may.

I took this photo for you.

Things are pretty chill right now... everyone is at lunch and it isn't terribly busy. I like the temporary quiet.
John removed 6 stitches for me earlier today (and did a fine job), and at the same time I got a call from the doctor, revealing my lab results. Apparently the edges came back as abnormal cells, so the area needs to be cut wider and deeper. Ouch.
I think we're going bowling tonight, which I haven't done in a while. I hope that he isn't too sore after the race today. I do wish I could watch, but I'm at work till 9.
Funny how a couple who said they wanted nothing to do with me still visits my web site (from home and work) after many months of not speaking (and blocking me from viewing their sites). And they called me a hypocrite! I haven't even thought about them in months until I checked my web stats.
I'll tell you something that's even weirder, though. I have a very good friend who acquired this strange mental disorder where he vomits every time he's even casually touched. Not even something as personally invasive as a hug... even just getting touched on the arm. He said that he almost puked even brushing his teeth too close to the bathroom mirror. I'm going to carry a yardstick next time I see him, poor lad!
Laura and I are going to go shopping this weekend, which should be fun. I need a girls' morning out.

I have the worst luck in the universe. I'm sure of it. And I think it all started when I obtained that human skull. Did you send me the cursed one as a joke? Well, it is far from funny!@#!!
So, some asshole got ahold of my mail at some point when I was living in Philly and wrote a "balance transfer check" of almost $2000 two years later (last week) from my credit card. Well, I'll tell you what... that idiot wrote an expired check. So, they're on to you, Mr. Fraudmeister. If you think you're getting away with this, you're wrong. You are so screwed! My headache will be worth it when they catch your lame ass.
My living room now looks like a living room. I just need a new bed and a bicycle, and I'll be back on track. I want this madness to end. I wish I could just chill out and stop having to deal with crap. Is that too much to ask for?

It has been a while since I posted. Every time I start to write, I get busy, forget to finish, and then it's time to go home.
Yesterday was a perfect day. Absolutely beautiful Spring weather, did two loads of laundry, rearranged my furniture and hung photos on the walls, went to the movies to see Ocean's 11 with my adorable little man, and then completed an unfinished task. I like productive days! And oh, the weather... Spring gives me so much energy and an overall good feeling. I wish I had a bicycle.
Mike helped me to install Mandrake on my other box today. So far so good, but it didn't like this crappy spare monitor I'm using, so we'll be finishing the task at my house.
I'm mint tea's new biggest fan. A refreshing change from chai.
This is great. Friggin' hilarious!
I feel like I have more to say, but I forget what. I'm sure it'll come to mind later after I post and sign off!
