Grateful

I had been stressing out slightly today knowing that in less then 24 hours I will be having my second interview. All of a sudden a calmness has come over me. I don't know where that has come from b/c if you know me at all you know that I worry about everything. I even worry about worrying too much... it is a sick cycle. Anyways I don't know where this new ray of hope has come from but I have decided to take this time and blog about what I'm grateful today.

I'm grateful that the bathroom at work is pretty close to me. I visit it often and like that the distance I travel isn't far.

I'm grateful that I have many friends to email everyday. W/out them I would go out of my mind.

I'm grateful that I get to go home for lunch. Today I watched 18 mins of a tivo'd Beverly Hills 90210. It was from the last season and Donna has just realized that she still loves David.

I'm grateful that I'm not working out tonight, even though I should. I have to finish up a homework assignment so I actually have a good excuse to not pump some iron.

I'm grateful that even though I look like crap today, I don't have school so that the hottie teacher won't see me looking bad.

Maybe it is just me but this seems like a stupid question

Today I got an email from someone from match. They wrote 'Are you still single?' Ummm yeah hello I am on match aren't I..... geez!

Bitter... no I'm not bitter.... I'm just dandy.

I found out today that my nephew is engaged. He is 24 (I think) and engaged. Even though I am of course really excited and happy for him that he found someone (she is really sweet) I am just thinking that it should be my turn to get married. Oh well.

You are not playing by the rules

A boy winked at me on match (yay me), I then winked back. Boy emails me the same day goes on and on about what he is looking for and then gives me his number and wants to talk on the phone. I don't like those rules. Can't we just email for a little bit first. Then that way I can find out if you are worth my time to even get me to talk to you on the phone. Man.... this boy is jumping the gun!

Hottie McChuck is his nickname...

Ok so Meredith has her McDreamy, I now have my McChuck. I started my photography class on Tuesday and saw a cutie as we were all waiting to get into our classroom. Turns out the cutie is my teacher.... YES! His name is Nathan (love that name) and he is cute and kinda dorky. Just how I like them. As class went on I started to think that he reminded me a little bit of Chuck from the best tv show 'Chuck'. I'm in heaven, if you have talked to me since that show started you would know that I'm sooo crushing on Chuck. He also slightly reminds me of George from Greys. Anyways.... he is around my age ( I don't have any specifics) but he graduated from Columbia and has been working as a photo teacher for a few years now. AND the best part is there is no ring on his finger! BINGO! Now I just have to be cute every Tuesday and Thursday and make sure he knows that I'm not some 18 year old taking this class.... My mission begins!

New Found Talent That I have...

So after being bored at my desk today I have come to realize that I can arch my left eye brow pretty high. I tried to do the same w/ my right brow but no such luck. I can do both at the same time but if I try to do only my right side... nothing. It is like that side of my face is paralyzed.

08/16/08 ~ What a Great Day!

Two of my really good friend got married on Saturday. It was one of the best weddings that I have ever been too. The whole weekend was great. The rehearsal was on Friday. Saturday morning we spent it getting ready for the wedding. The wedding, I just can't even put it into words on how beautiful the ceremony was. And the reception was a blast. I'm so happy for my friends that they have decided to spend the rest of there lives together. I just hope that I am that lucky one day! So here is to J and K!

I loved this pic!

I CANT SLEEP

The Olympics are sooooooo my favorite thing and it is a shame that they are only on every four years. Well not really since the winter and summer ones are two years apart. Anywho..... I have not been able to get much sleep lately. Not only am I staying up late to watched everything but I have the last two night been dreaming about them. Last night I was in a swimming competition w/ Michael Phelps! I'm so crushing on him by the way. I'm going to be dead by the time the two weeks are over!

It is a sad day!

I found out yesterday that the cutie that works w/ me is quitting. Now I won't have anything good to look at anymore... and damn he beat me to quitting. Oh well my time will come soon! It is just said that my eye candy is leaving.

I thought this email was sweet.

Someone email this to me on match....

Hi, Where do I begin, ok, how about you are so cute and have a great smile. I saw your profile and was immediately taken by your pic. Then I read your profile and wanted to know more about you. You seem intelligent and fun.my kind of girl. A little about me. I live in Arlington Heights (30 mins from the city), single and enjoying life. I keep active by exercising and playing sports. I tend to tell lots of jokes and love to make people laugh. I love my family and friends.. And yes, I look young for my age. It will all work out when all my friends are 60 and I still look like I'm in my 20s. That will be my revenge. Before I ramble on, let me ask you to take a chance on a guy who may not be big on stature, but big in heart.. I will always treat you with respect and make you laugh. So get on that keyboard and say hi back. Let's go out and have some fun. I know we can have tons of laughs together. I hope this letter finds you well. Have a great day.. and I look forward to hearing from you soon..Gary

How to talk someone into going to Taco Bell w/ you.

If there is ever a time when you have a craving for some Tbell and you have a friend that might need some talking into it all you need to do is:

Tell them about the cheese... let them know the crunch wrap is calling there name.... Dr. Pepper (need I say more about the Pepper).... and of course just being in my company is worth it...

And then see it works.... You have a Tbell buddy. Yay!

I'm pissed

Well not so much at this moment but I went to get my hair cut and highlighted last night. I have a wedding in about a week and a half to stand up in and I wanted to make sure that my dark roots were taken care of. I at first asked my hair lady to just put highlights around my hair line in the front and then do the crown of my head. She then suggested that she do a touch up. Here is where the mistake happened. I figured that since I had just said that I wanted highlights (blond hair comes to me mind since I have super blond highlights already in my hair) well she starts to put a color around my scalp. I figured that she was bleaching my roots..... well the color gets washed out and I have darker roots now. It wasn't as dark as my real color but it is darker then my blond highlights.... I WAS PISSED WHEN I GOT HOME. The color really isn't bad and if I wasn't standing up in a wedding I would be fine but I had it in my head that I was for the most part going to be a blond for the wedding..... Oh well................ sniff.

School Supplies

This fall will be the first time that I will be back in school since I graduated college in 2003. I'm taking a photography class at the community college by my house. I went to Target two times in the last two weeks and have started to purchase some school supplies for myself. Last week I bought a notebook and yesterday a got a folder. If you are wondering why I didn't buy the two at the same time well the answer if b/c they didn't have a folder to match my notebook. That might sound crazy to some but I always took pride in getting my school supplies before each school year. I was walking up and down the isle secretly wishing that I had to purchase glue and crayons. I even saw a really cute cat folder and I really wanted to get it but decided not too b/c I didn't want the other students to think I am strange. Now all I need are some pens and a backpack!!! Would it be too much if all were the same color???? HMMMMM.

1:33 AM

That is the time that my power came back on last night. When I called ComEd the recording said that b/c of the mass quantities of people who were w/ out power they were trying to be realistic and said that it could take several days before our power was restored. I almost peed my pants when I woke up to my tv blasting and the light by my bed beaming on me.

I'm a mess

Lately I feel that I have been a little down on some good karma lately. I really need to find out a way to charge what the karma gods are dealing me....

Job: Totally sucks. I have been so busy that I have been working during my lunches and going in early just to catch up on my crap. I was so stressed out on Friday that I came home and cried away my woos.... Now it is Sunday night and I feel like throwing up at the thought of going to work tomorrow.

Feet: I'm a cripple. Left toe is blue and purple right now. I dropped my cell phone on my toe last week. It isn't pretty. Right foot's bunion is flaring up and I keep on getting shooting pains. It is making walking interesting at times.

Love life: WELL I JUST DON'T HAVE ONE! ENOUGH SAID.

Entertainment: Has been a little bit low. I haven't been able to hang out w/ my friends too much lately. They all have been pretty busy lately. Although mom has become a great person to hang out w/!! LOVE YOU MOM :)

The Rag: OMG my period this month has just been awful. I got it yesterday and I had bad cramps, flow has been much more then normal, no energy, total increase in food intake, and my mood isn't the greatest for the past three days.

I'm going to the gynie on Thursday and Friday I have to get two cavities filled.... WTF.

I hope the rest of my August is going to improve...

Shoping Shoping Shoping

Yesterday I went shopping w/ my mom and I was a shopping machine. I got soooo much stuff on sale. I bought work out clothes that were 60% off and then at Carson's I got three dress all on sale too. I got all three dress for $150 when each dress at regular price was well over $100 each. I love sales!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got a dress for my friend J's wedding rehearsal and one for my friend D's wedding and the third one I got just b/c it was sooooo pretty and my mom said it looked wonderful on me.... How could I have passed that up.

Only in a Friends episode would this happen... no it did happen to me! DAMN

Last week I was scheduled for a job interview with a company my friend told me about. I got an email from a women in HR and she told me the names of the two guys I would be interviewing with. One of the names looked familiar to me. The next day I had lunch w/ D (her fiance is the one who told me about the job) and I told her that one of the names of the guys I would be interviewing w/ was the same name as a guy who I went to high school with and better yet was the guy who I had make out w/ a few years back. My two girl friends and I ran into him and his two friends at a club and then we all went back to one of there houses. I totally ended up making out w/ this guy. D now curious to see if it was the same guy called her fiance. He said that he thought it might be the same guy b/c this guy from his work grew up in the town of my high school and was my age. And later confirmed that it was in fact the same guy.... I was horrified. How could I go now to this job interview. I was hoping that he wouldn't remember me. As luck would have it the next morning the HR women called and canceled the interview saying that all there openings had been filled. I was so happy b/c I know for a fact that I would have blown that interview.... Seriously stuff like that shouldn't happen in the real world. It should only be on tv shows for entertainment value.
