Well then.

Vacation rocked except for the humidity.  Beautiful and lots of history.  Good times.

My move into the apartment is about done.  I need to get some things framed and we're badly in need of some window coverings, but my room is looking very cozy and lovely.  I'm lacking a bookcase because, as we've discussed before, the ones I already ( Read more... )

I'm about to buckle under stress.  Insane amounts of stress.  The kind of stress that caused the infamous incident in Jan '05.

The scoop:

I thought for a few days that money would be fine and would work itself out.  Since then, about 5 new $100 or more situations have presented themselves and I am broke.  BROKE.  What makes it worse is that what ( Read more... )

Well, everything seems to be clicking into place... I got the promotion and raise, effective this coming Sunday and another coming in a month or two- they're splitting it up so that I can get both the raises because I'd only get one if I took the higher promotion right away.  We're going to sign the lease for the apartment tomorrow.  Ours has a ( Read more... )

As usual, I got excited about things too soon and failed to plan them out properly.  After creating a budget, I'm not sure I'll be able to swing this apartment deal at all, which would really suck for Amber because she's already stuck there.  Further, I got no definitive answers about the promotion from my manager today.  Today was supposed to be ( Read more... )

Roger won his fourth consecutive title yesterday in Halle, Germany, which is the first time in the tournament's history that a man has acheived such success.  The Gerry Weber Open is basically a warm-up for Wimbledon; it, along with several other small tournaments (I believe all in the West) are the first tournaments of the year played on grass, ( Read more... )

11 hour day.  At Payless.  What the hell.  It's hard enough to close on a normal night and open the next day, but tonight we were there until 11.  This is absurd.

Some things that have happened lately that don't have anything to do with the most amazing man in the world:
1. My parents and sister went to visit the relatives in Iowa last week so there's been a lot of quality time spent with the puppy.  I don't really know why women want boyfriends; Quiglers loves me unconditionally and licks my hand every time ( Read more... )

Whallopped Rafa in the first.  Got whallopped in the second.  Lost the third.  Struggled in the fourth.  Ray of hope with Kristin SCREAMING at the TV and her dog not sure whether to sit by her and lick her hand or hide in the bathroom.

Kids, I'm a tired girl.  Being a Roger fan is tough.  Brilliant play today- AMAZING shots.  Got the win over Ancic in straight sets, 6-4 6-3 6-4.  Roger seemed more on top of things and apparently couldn't take a bad picture.  You know you need help when you are actually unable to breathe while viewing photos... Here are a few of the many great ( Read more... )

So here's my story of today:  I thought I was being all proactive last night before I went to bed checking when ESPN2's FO coverage started.  Not until 2 pm?  Sweet!  I'll sleep in!  Get up at noon and am apalled when I get downstairs and see TENNIS on NBC.  NBC doesn't usually have coverage until the semis and final!  No matter... I'm sure ESPN2's ( Read more... )
