Just a Can of Hairspray

…she looks so sweet…

…she looks a little sneaky…

…she looks like she’s been digging for moles…

…she looks so squishy…

…she looks so lovingly towards her sister…

The temperature dropped 30 degrees withing 30 minutes this evening. From the time I entered the gym, to the time I left, it was chilly. But as I drove with my windows down to get some fresh air, I couldn’t believe how freezing it felt. Then it started to rain. And it’s still raining. Word has it, it’s going to sleet. So I will probably be working from home tomorrow.

I am packing. I swear. You look around and think, wow, that’s a lot of boxes packed already. REALLY?! I don’t feel like anything is packed! :(  I want to twinkle my nose and have my new place all setup. I don’t mind the unpacking. It’s the packing I mind.

So I’m 3 for 3 so far this week at the gym. Yay!! I’m so proud of myself. I honestly had a hard time getting motivated to go today after work, but a co-worker sort of pumped me up for it. I’ve never had an energy drink before, so I thought I would try one. It wasn’t that bad. Actually, this kind was geared towards women…the color and it being 5 calories. It’s a non-Pepsi brand, so I won’t promote it on here. But I actually had tons of energy at the gym. Too bad the gym was packed and EVERYONE was wanting to the very few machines that I wanted to do. I had to opt for my free weights for the second half of my training.

Did I mention that it’s 30 some-odd degrees outside?! BUNDLE UP!

I’m getting ready to move…AGAIN. While I can’t wait to be in my new apartment, with my new LCD HDTV and Christmas decorations, packing is the pits. So far I’ve packed: books, DVDs, VHS tapes, frames, half of my decorative knick-knacks, towels, sheets and some pillows. Sound like a lot, well, it doesn’t look like it!

I’m having to start packing early because my last week here, I’ll be in San Antonio for work. So for most of this week, I’ll be packing and doing laundry.

Oh yay!

Anyone want to help?

Thanksgiving was great…3 dogs: Dora, Thelma and Gramp’s new puppy Mandy. It was quite interesting and quite entertaining.
Back to work tomorrow.

Puggles!

I want a yard so that I can have a dog, and I think puggles are sooooo cute! They are a cross between a beagle and a pug.

So I’m moving again. I couldn’t take it anymore, and I found a new place that is almost 200 feet bigger, but for the same price. And I don’t have to give up my all black appliances. :o)

I’m a snot when it comes to where I live. I need to feel safe, but there are some trendy things that I do like. I’m super excited about having more space! When McDuff is over, it makes the 650 sq ft apartment feel like a shoebox. Plus, it puts me the same distance from work, but closer to McDuff and closer to my family and friends. And the best part, I’m not paying more!

What the heck has happened to customer service lately? I thought it was based on the customer, not on the employee.

I went to church Saturday evening and ran into my boss and her husband. So I went to dinner with them to Blackeyed Pea along with some of their friends. A table of 6, with only 4 of us eating a real meal. Now I’ve waited tables before, for about 2 years, so I know how hard and how easy it can be.

So waiting on 6 people can be handful IF you have other tables. Okay, so this guy had another table of 3 people after we had been there a while. But he didn’t bring out my boss’s and husband’s salads, he had the nerve to ask one guy, “would you like more tea, sir” and then repeatedly forgot to keep our glasses filled, mind you, we weren’t fishes! Why would you ask someone, would you like more tea, when we had only been there maybe 10 minutes. GRRRRRRRR! Of course, dude, we want more tea, Coke…er Pepsi, Dr Pepper, Water, etc. Just fill us up! By lack of attention, due to his bad service, we got our meals for free.

Luckily for Blackeyed Pea and it’s customers, that server only has one week left.

Well, my best friend is married. The wedding was beautiful, and for the most part, it went very smoothly.

Congrats to Debra and Brady! I hope that your life together brings many years of happiness.

McDuff was a great sport the whole weekend. Poor guy, he got drug everywhere for the whole weekend.

So I ate something bad over the weekend. And in return,  I got sick. It sucked. Luckily, it only lasted about a day. My sweet boyfriend came over and took care of me; brought me lemon-lime carbonated drinks, crackers and chicken noodle soup for when I felt like I could handle substance. The lemon-lime never tasted so good! And I luckily held it down.
And while I’m still recuperating by laying here in bed, I hope to feel better to get back to my job tomorrow.
And to what I ate that made me barf, gave me stomach cramps and other great things, I hope to never see you again.

So for Debra’s last weekend of being a single mingle, we all went out and had a photo shoot. We got some good photos of the 5 of us. Afterwards, we ended up at Simply Fondue. The cheese and chocolate fondues were AWESOME! We cooked our own meat at the table, which I wouldn’t want to do again. It was too much work for the amount of money it normally costs. We had a lot of fun and a lot of memories were made.

It just seems that a lot is going on right now, and there is. I’m so exhausted today. Lately, it’s seemed as if the world is spinning and all I want to do is freeze time. While a lot of excitement is happening to some of my friends, I’d like to pause the world for a little bit. I guess I’m at the age where everyone is either getting married or having a baby. I swear. ALL of my friends are either getting married, just got married, just had a kid, or about to have a kid. And I still feel like I kid myself. I don’t feel old enough to get married nor to have a kid. Heck, I am 26, so I am old enough. But I don’t know. It seems like a lot of responsibility. More than I’ve ever known in my life.

My friend from work, Ankur, turned in his mancard last night. It’s actually up on eBay. He proposed to his girlfriend last night. I’m so excited for him. I think maybe more excited than he is. hehe. It’s been cool to hear him go through the whole process of ordering the ring, deciding how he wants to propose and then finally hearing the whole story of how he proposed today at work. He’s one of my favorite people that I look forward to seeing every day, and I’m so thrilled for him. He got himself a good one. And the best part is that he knows it.
The other day I felt my friend Heather’s  baby kick. It was awesome. Kinda weird. It’s hard to fathom an actual human being inside her stomach. I know it’s really in there, but it’s just unbelieveable. I can’t wait to meet this little girl. She’s going to be adorable.
Next weekend, my bestfriend is getting married.  I guess you could say that I have mixed feelings about it. I’m happy, but sad. She’s leaving the world I’m in, of being a single mingle, and joining forces with the other married people. And I’m happy for her because she seems happy. I guess in the end, what you want for your dearest friends, is for them to be happy. And that’s all that I want for her.
Life has been evolving and I feel like I am standing still.
