i have been working ridiculous hours lately... *sigh*
having two jobs can be tricky at times.
the way i see it though, i'll be out of debt soon and then i can do nothing for a while and not care about money... well, except for rent, doggy food and such.
joe and i are going to cali in 16 days and i'm completely ecstatic about it! i can't wait!!!!
this is what our itinerary looks like:
Day 1 - San Diego
Day 2 - L.A.
Day 3 - L.A.
Day 4 - San Jose
Day 5 - Napa
Day 6 - Napa
Day 7 - San Francisco & Oakland
it's pretty much gonna rule!
i'm now minus 20 lbs. and i've been thinking lately that it might not be because i'm eating better but because of work related stress. bleh. i feel okay though, i just wish i was able to have a day off to just hang out and do nothing. i also wish i had the desire and time to clean up my house. it's rather messy right now... even though joe has been cleaning up here and there on his very rare free time. he's so damn good!
so yeah... i've got two more hours to go at work and then i'm going home and probably going right to sleep. lame! i've gotta sign up for an online bio class soon... uh, yeah, i find myself deliriously rambling... my bad. =] |

well, i had written an in-depth update about the 12-week program i have started, but as luck would have it, i somehow managed to delete it all... =/ bleh.
so... yeah...to summarize it all, i'm super excited about the personal changes i am making and looking forward to my west coast vacation in march. =]
i've gotta get ready to gay it up for work now. wooooo! working 6 days/nights a week is awesome, at least it keeps me somewhat awake. ;)
i hope everyone had an awesome turkey day! xox |

i suck at updating these days... according to lj it's been 6 weeks since i posted.. who knew?
work is finally beginning to slow down some and i'm trying to tie all the loose ends.
school is going okay, i missed last week because i was feeling like total crap, but i'm back this week and i have decided to try my best to do well this semester. my bio lab is so not as fun as i thought it was gonna be though. =/ total bummer, but oh well.
tomorrow is joe's and my 6 year anniversary. =] we had a wonderful weekend this past weekend. we went out on a date on friday night, had sushi, drinks and then a movie. saturday, we cleaned our house and amazingly enough we have managed to keep it clean. it's awesome! on sunday we just lounged around, watched tv and did some reading for school.
i am taking half the day off work on friday to go to a cabin in the mountains. it's the same cabin we went to last year and i'm excited to be able to be gay and have picnics and let the dogs roam and read and drink mimosas while soaking in the hot tub, etc. i'm really looking forward to it!
we are going to our last wedding of this year next weekend (on ivy's b-day). thank goodness that's the last one for now!!! i will be glad to be in my now clean home for more than two weekends in a row!
it's amazing how much of a difference a clean home makes. i know i sound ridiculous, but it's true. i've felt altogether better since i cleaned out my house. i love it.
i went to a wine festival with my friend jamie a few weekends ago and it was awesome! i'm thinking that i'd like to go to a few more during the fall. the idea of drinking wine outdoors while enjoying the wonderful fall breeze sounds very appealing to me. |

Northern Cali here we come!
I am so fuck*ng excited to be going to California for Omar's wedding!
Ileana is already there and Laurie gets there 30 minutes after Joe and I.
Ileana and I get to be the best "wo"men. YEAY!
I'm so super tired. Joe and I have not slept the past couple of days... and I doubt that we'll get much sleep while we're there, but it's cool.
Next Thursday we'll be on our way to the Outer Banks for Luke's wedding. I still have no clue what I'm gonna wear, but I'm sure I'll figure something out. =]
Man, weddings, weddings weddings! This is getting expensive. HA! HA! HA!
I'm so happy for everyone that's getting married though. They are all truly amazing people that deserve to be as happy as they are.
I got to work at 7 a.m. this morning... WEIRD! My boss was pulling into the parking garage as I was getting out of my car, he rolled his window down and asked me if I was sick. *LOL* I've gotta leave by 11; go home and pack. Yeah, I didn't do that last night. I had to do laundry. Argh! So much to do!
I might need some caffeine to remain awake until we catch our flight. =/
"I'M SO EXCITED AND I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT!!!!"
ha! ha! ha! wow, i'm gay. |

-vacation was amazing
-work is still crazy
-joe and i have been talking about moving to austin. it won't be for a while, not until we're both done with school and have saved up enough money to buy our own place out there. plus, we still need to go visit and do some in person research. who knows where life will take us, but we're looking at our options.
-i got my plane tickets for omar's wedding the second weekend in august. i am flying into oakland. it's almost shameful how unfamiliar i am with northern california seeing how i lived in southern california for so long.
-joe's b-day is coming up and i don't know what to do for him. =/
-joe and i hung out with justin the sunday after we got back from vacation and we had a blast! it was awkward (good awkward) at times, but it was still pretty awesome! i'm glad he and i have gotten over the "weirdness" and have laid our ugly past to rest and moved on as the great friends that we always knew we could be.
-my mom gets a week "off"; my sister and my dad are going to nicaragua for a week as of friday and my brother is going to germany for 3 weeks as of thursday. how about that? i hung out with my whole family on sunday and had a wonderful time. so special! =]
-i got an A in my 6-week math class this summer because i'm a geek. ha! :P
-i have been walking to and from work lately and around the neighborhood and it has helped me a lot with my stress level. joe bought me an mp3 player and i LOVE it.
-transformers was awesome!
over and out. |

i'm in a foul mood today, i think it's the pressure of it all finally catching up with me.
this week has sucked. it's been so stressful and busy! i can't believe it's not friday yet! i feel like i live for the weekends and then when it gets here it's a total let down because it goes by so quickly. i'm looking forward to a weekend that i don't have to worry about working or doing homework of any kind... it's not gonna happen for 8 weeks at least though. =/ finals are in two weeks and i've got to buckle down and know my sh*t. after that it's 6 weeks of math... what a way to start my summer, but i gotta do it. i hope that after that i'll be at the beach, just enjoying the nice weather and hanging out, without a worry in mind! i need a fuck*ng vacation!
why can't today be friday already?!
i'm taking my mom to the neurologist in a couple of weeks... her migraines have gotten worse and now it's gotten to the point where the left side of her body goes numb and she can't walk straight... it comes and goes... yeah, clear signs of a stroke, pretty sh*tty. her blood pressure is so high, but all of this doesn't surprise me because i've been telling her to stick to a treatment for years and to try to just slow down and relax every once in a while, but it's all fallen on deaf ears. i do hope that she will do that now though because Derrick and Ileen need her. they're both so little still. :( my poor mom.
i wanna go home and nap.
on a good note, i'm hanging out with anne tomorrow night. i have so much to tell her and i'm sure she has a lot to tell me as well. i've missed her. she's so freaking great, not to mention best bartender EVER! =] i miss our random tuesday nights at the french restaurant drinking bottles of wine and having awesome desserts. |

it's tragic that someone regardless of who they are would go out and take someone else's life... it seems that people these days need no real motives to do horrible things.
how can parents do it? how can they not be scared senseless to let their children out into such a scary world.
i am still trying to look for the beauty and kindness of this world and mankind. don't let me down.
the good things MUST matter and outweight the bad...they should. |

:( so the weather has regressed. easter felt more like thanksgiving and now spring feels more like dreadful, rainy and cold winter. i don't know what's going on, but i wish it was nice, sunny and warm out! i wish the flowers were finally able to completely bloom! ugh!
so 33 killed at virginia tech. so fucking sad! *shakes her head*
i'd like to have ONE entry in which i'm not complaining about anything.... just ONE this year... at least one this year.
once fall gets here i will have no time to complain or think about anything. i finished up my school schedule today and i will pretty much be in school every free moment that i get. it's time for me to buckle down and finish what i started. i checked my status and so far i've got a 4.0 current GPA and 3.8 cumulative GPA. this has encouraged me to try harder and to not get discouraged by time and money.
i had a wonderful weekend. on saturday joe and i went out with my old bosses and had a blast! i love hanging out with them even if they are not quite in my "age-range" they are so unassumming, carefree, drama-free, fun and just so real, it's so fucking great to be around people like that AND let's not forget the fact that they still truly know how to have fun!
on sunday, joe and i just hung out around the house, he cleaned up some as i simply laid around like a lazy fucker. oh, but i did manage to get a bit of a workout in.
it is my goal to lose weight for omar's wedding. i wanna be able to look at pictures and be okay with them. i love looking at jenn's wedding pictures, not only because she looks beautiful, but because i actually don't have on my horrible non-photogenic face in them. *LOL* ileana and i will be his best "wo-men" and i'm super excited! the 3 of us have known each other since middle school, so this is one of those big steps in our lives that we are glad to share with one another. it's amazing. *smiles*
joe is a wonderful person and i'm glad that we've been through everything that we have been through because everytime there's a hurdle to get over the bond gets stronger once we're on the other side. it's weird. i hope my genes don't EVER take over and i fuck this up. i know i will try my best not to. |

i stayed home from work today... i'm really fucking sick... it looks like a mix of conjunctivitis and the flu. i feel like total shit. i had to write to my professor and let her know that i won't be able to take the mid-term tonight. i've gotta leave in about an hour to go to the doctor's.
i took ileen to hershey park on saturday and i guess that only got me sicker because it was so fucking cold and i had a headache the whole time we were there. it even started snowing. i didn't even go to easter lunch with joe's parents yesterday. i slept the whole day... very much like today, except i tried to study some today and my head is just not accepting any information.
at least i got ileen to check out zoo america. that part of our trip was pretty fun and we got awesome fireworks for our beach trip at the end of june. =]
molly has been sooo good this whole time. she has been sleeping with me and not bothered me at all about going outside. she's such a good doggie.
my body hurts. :( |

another amazing weekend has gone by. =]
i somehow ended up hanging out with kristy, leslie and bridget on friday night... they have a way of getting me out of my pj's... damn them! i guess when the bar is down the street from my house, i really have no excuse hah? *LOL* i had an awesome dinner with jamie on saturday night, had interesting conversations, drank a lot of booze, worked out and neglected to do any homework, BUT i did it at work today and now i'm ready to go discuss bullsh*t macroeconomics that i could care less about. my professor is a major beyotch too.
it's ileen's spring break this week and i'm finally taking her, derrick, and joe to hershey park. i'm probably gonna take her bowling before we leave on friday night. i got friday off! wooo hooo! yeap, i get "good friday" off as a company holiday, how about that?
i so need a 3-day weekend! i'm taking a week off in july to go to the beach with joe and my fam. i can't freaking wait!!! i might be taking another week off in august to go to cali and nevada... good times! we'll see if my finances can handle it. my mom called me last friday wanting to go to L.A. this weekend, but i didn't wanna go... i don't really know why, i don't really have a good reason... maybe it's because it was just too sudden... whatever.
I LOVE THIS WEATHER! ABOUT FUCK*NG TIME IT FELT LIKE SPRINGTIME! Too bad i'm gonna miss the fireworks by the waterfront this saturday. :( Joe said that we'll go biking by the waterfront tomorrow and take super gay pictures of the cherry blossoms though... yeay!
*sigh* time to go to class. |

another year and my b-day went by without a glitch...
i somehow ended up having the day off work, joe's morning class was cancelled and his meeting with a bar owner was postponed for today, so we ended up spending the whoooole day together. it was awesome! it was great to have an unexpected day off in the middle of the week! =] all my rock*ng friends called me, e-mailed me and/or texted me happy birthday wishes. ivy, joe's parents and joe's sister even called and sang me happy birthday! how about that?!!! so fuck*ng sweet hah?
even my dad called me... which actually made me cry. (i wish we had a good relationship)
it was really sweet though.
saturday night we had dinner with my family and my mom gave me a beautiful aquamarine necklace to match the ring that joe gave me for x-mas along with two arrangements of flowers. joe got me flowers and balloons yesterday and my house now smells of fresh flowers. i love it!
ileana sent me a bunch of gifts and erin (joe's sister) got me an awesome top... which actually matches the pair of shoes that ileana got me. SO awesome!
i want to thank everyone for making me feel so loved and so fuck*ng giddy... even though i'm getting fuck*ng old and in a couple of years... *shutters* aaaanyway... *LOL*
so yesterday joe and i were gonna take a 2 hour nap at around 4, next thing we know it was 11 p.m.!!!! *LOL* he was gonna make me dinner and even went to the store to get all the stuff to make me chicken stuffed with spinach and mushrooms and he got champagne to make mimosas and all the ingredients to bake me a cake, but we totally overslept and ended up having wendy's! AHAHAAHHAHAHAAHAHHAAHA! Classic! |
