There's been so much to do and so little time to do it. I finally coordinated with Heather on the bridal shower a bit, and I believe I'll even have the venue reserved before I leave for Europe, which makes me feel a lot better. Then I'll just worry about ordering decorations and stuff online while I'm there. I almost have my sub papers all set ( Read more... )

The Germany countdown is really beginning. I leave February 4th, and I feel like I have a million things to do before I go. I want to get my papers completed for work; I've worked for three months now and haven't gotten all of my paper work in yet. Ideally I'll have my application to substitute teach in by February 3rd, since that's the date of ( Read more... )

Good news has come out of the holidays: my mother is fine. When she had her most recent mammogram they "saw a shadow," and considering her previous history they wanted to be aggressive. So she went back for another one on the 23rd, and a sonogram, both of which convinced them that she's fine and it's nothing to worry about. I am relieved, as is ( Read more... )

It's been a really long time since I've bothered to write in here. Where to start? I don't even know. How about the holidays? I had a fair Thanksgiving Day, not the greatest and not the worst. I really didn't eat as much as I should have, but in my defense I'd already had turkey dinners two days in a row by then at work. The holiday was ( Read more... )

It's apparently been a long time since I posted. Clearly Probst has returned to Germany, and that was a sad, sad day indeed. Happily I still see her around and about in the World (of Warcraft) so we're still in touch ( Read more... )

Probst has been back in town for a week, and I'm pretty sure we've hung out every single day. Mostly we just hang out at my house, watch TV, and talk. Sometimes we go get lunch or dinner, or maybe head to the mall. And that's why I love her--because we don't have to do something extravagant or go get completely smashed to have a good time. We' ( Read more... )

Heh, another weekend of drinking way too much. I got surprisingly wasted at drafts, then Friday night I...did something. What did I do? Oh, I went out with Jenna. I ran into Evan and Ryan there, then Heather showed up. It was pretty awesome, for the most part. Jenna and Heather got along really well, because they're the same person. I was ( Read more... )

So, kind of a lot has happened since the last time I wrote an entry ( Read more... )

Not much has been going on. The usual shit. Amy Peasley has gone to medical school, Jared works all the time, Becky's stopped coming home, Zbegner's in school and working. Doesn't leave me much of a chance to get out. But I do get to see Caitlin from time to time, so that's cool. We had a lovely discussion regarding American history, a subject ( Read more... )

Can we talk about how I went to Wal-Mart and bought Labyrinth on DVD and am watching it now? I love David Bowie. And, even in youth, Jennifer Connelly needed to pluck in-between her eyebrows. I also bought a Mr. Coffee because, Jesus, do I love coffee. It's kind of a sudden thing, but I really do need coffee to function ( Read more... )
