Sooooo it's been a long time. I think the only person who still uses this is Ashley. And that's because she's lame. =P

Summer is almost over. Classes start next week. I signed up for 3. 2 of them are in Woodbridge. Those will be fun days....

This summer has been super busy.
--Tim & Jen's wedding
--Christina's graduation
--Skydiving!!!!
--camping, canoeing, whitewater rafting
--King's Dominion
--Baseball games
--Virginia Safari Park
--Starbucks dates with my Ashley
--VA beach trip with some girlfriends
--Brownie & movie nights with Ashley
--Women's Training Program

And I don't even know what else. I didn't go to the beach with Ryan and that makes me sad. But other than that, it was a perfect Summer. Oh, except for work. =P

Speaking of work...hopefully I'll be able to quit at the end of the semester!!!!!! I'm soooooooo excited!!! Get me out of ATCC!!!! It's not really all that bad. I'm just not cut out for desk jobs. They're boring. I want to work with animals and be outside and do something productive and real. I have started volunteering at the Fairfax Humane Society. I've only been going for 2 weeks, but I really like it. I miss animals.

Anyway, I found a pet sitting/ dog walking business that I'm hoping will be hiring in December/January. The plan was to work part time and school full time, but I think I could work this job full time and still do classes full time. Then it wouldn't be as dramatic a paycut. I'm looking forward to a change. =)

Ryan and mine's 1st year anniversay is coming up in a month or so. And my birthday!!! Yay!!!! I don't know what we're doing. I kind of want to climb Old Rag for my birthday. I haven't done that for over 3 years.

I don't really have anything else to say. I'm bored at work. My stuff is done, the phones are slow, e-mail is down... Not a very exciting Thursday.

Apr. 30th, 2007 @ 02:47 pm Give Him your burdens and get your body on the dance floor

Soooo haven't been on here for a long time. I always forget about it because of myspace and facebook.

Not too much has been going on. I've rededicated myself to being healthy. It's hard. All I want is Starbucks and frozen pizza.

Ryan and I had Sean this past Friday-Saturday. ...That was interesting. Haha. He's the moodyest kid I've ever seen. One minute he's laughing having a good time and the next he's pouting or crying on the floor.

Ryan and I have started going to Alpha on Thursday nights at Mag. So far it's going really well. I'm excited. We also went to service on Saturday night. Pastor Scott is awesome. He's in the middle of a series on fear. Last weeks was fear of intimacy. It spoke to both of us.

I'm at work now. Things have blown up lately and it's been busy. But today I don't feel like doing anything. I haven't been able to get myself motivated. I'm kind of wishing I would have succumbed to my starbucks craving on my lunch break so I'd be more human and productive. But I'm also glad I didn't because it's not very healthy.

Of course tonight I'm doing a movie night in with Jennifer and Candice and we're getting pizza and wine coolers. Not so healhty, but I'm soooo excited. Just sitting around and doing nothing. Yay. =) And it's Philly Cheesesteak pizza. My favorite!!!!!

Today is a stay at home day. At least it should have been. It's sooooooo cold. And I'm exhausted and my arms hurt. I went to the gym yesterday. =)

I want to go home and curl up on the couch and watch Tailspin. 

Donna gave me a bag of bbq potato chips. Utz. I thought of you Elisha. =) They were deeeelicious.

Jan. 10th, 2007 @ 10:42 am drugs and rules
Current Location: GMU
Current Mood: pensivepensive
I try not to watch much TV but I am a sucker for Court TV. I love Cops.

I was watching something about undercover stings last night, and most of it had to do with drugs. Big drugs. $120 million worth. That's insane. It kind of makes me want to be a dealer. =P Aside from all the other stuff that goes on with it.

Sometims I wonder why drugs are illegal. Why is anything illegal? I'm the kind of person that thinks everyone should do what they want. To each his own. As long as you're not hurting someone else or their property. Or animals. But who cares if someone does drugs? People are going to do them anyway. Maybe there'd be less fuss if it was legal. Who cares about prostitution? People are going to do it anyway. As long as they're not bothering me I don't care what they're doing. Maybe I'd like to try some drugs someday. But I won't, because it's illegal. When I start thinking about a self-governing world, I always come back to Sodom and Gomorrah. That didn't turn out so well...

I guess I'm just wishing for utopia. Everyone gets along. Everyone respects each other. And we can all live happily ever after. Maybe it's because I was sheltered growing up. Or because I was taught to respect people, authority, and rules. 

The world isn't perfect. And people obviously need rules. But it makes me sad that not everyone has respect for people. I try to live by the golden rule. Why can't everyone? Why don't some people? Do they just not care?

The world baffles me.

Jan. 8th, 2007 @ 12:36 pm an update on my not so scandalous life.
Current Location: work work work
Current Mood: hungryhungry

It's been a while since I updated. I haven't felt anything was newsworthy lately. And I have a slight obsession with surveys on myspace so I figured everyone gets their fill of me on there. =P

I've been married for about 3.5 months. The time has flown by. 

I want a dog badly. It's hard not having any pets.

I didn't enroll in classes for spring semester because I submitted my financial aid too late and we don't have enough money.

Ryan gave me an IPOD for Christmas andn I've become addicted to ITunes which is not good for my bank account.

And my love of Starbucks is ever growing. =)

Over Christmas break I had a couple movie dates with Ashley. They were fabulous. I love her. =)

Sara comes home in 3.5 weeks!!!!!

I finally submitted my pictures for my prof wedding album. I'll receive it by the end of March. =)

One of my New Year's resolutions is to eat healthier. Why is bad food so easy and quick to make? Not to mention it's cheaper!

There's about 3 more months of coldness left. I keep telling myself I can make it that long. I'm ready for Summer and sunshine and canoeing and hiking.

I'm afriad Ryan is going to be switched to overnights on their next rotation which I think is this month. I don't want to sleep alone for 6+ months. =(((

I hate having a desk job. I want to do something more active. With animals. I want a job playing with animals. =) I applied for a vettech assistant position but they only started at $9.50; almost $4 less what I'm getting now. I couldn't take it. Right now we can't afford that. =(

Sean turns 2 in a few days. He's getting big. And Kim bought a bunny, Norbert. He's adorable.

That's all I can think of right now. =)

Nov. 7th, 2006 @ 02:09 pm baby you save me

Well, it's been a while since I posted on here. Maybe just a couple weeks... Haha. It seems like a long time.

Life is going good. We're pretty much settled into the apartment. I'm a typical broke newlywed. =( It makes me sad. Especially when I need (want) stuff. 

I'm feeling slightly more social this week. That's always a good thing. Ryan and I went out this weekend. We went to the Arlington draft house and saw Beerfest on Friday then went to Jake's with Jordan to watch Zaq play on Saturday. Sunday I sewed buttons!!!! I've never done it before. =) I'm slowly domesticating myself.

Not this past weekend but the one before, we went to a corn maze in the Plains. There's so many other things I want to do. So many places I want to see! Not only in Virginia or the US but just everywhere. I'm so afraid I'm not going to be able to. I guess I should probably work on the whole job thing. Blehhh. I've decided I want to try working with animals. And that I'm not going to leave ATCC until I find a job like that. Otherwise I'll just be going somewhere else I don't like. And ATCC works for now.

I'm going to apply at the zoo. And maybe a couple vet offices. I don't want to spend the rest of my life working at jobs that I don't enjoy. I feel that's important. If you're spending a lot of your time doing something, you should like it. 

Today is voting dayyyy!!!! I hope everyone votes! I don't care who you vote for, just vote! It's our right and our duty. So stop being apathetic and get out there!!

One more hour of work to go. I'm ready to leave now though...

The past few weeks have been buuuuusy. Ryan and I are still adjusting to new living arrangements and the change of seasons. It seems there's always something else to do. Buy this, return that, we need these, put this up, put that away, leave this here, put that there... I'm tired of doing stuff! I want it all to be done!

I've been in an anti-social mood the past few weeks too. But I've hung out with someone every day that Ryan closes. So I guess I'm not doing too bad.

This weeked me, Jennifer, and Jordan are going to Richmond to see Christina and go to ScreamForest. I'm excited!!! Sunday I might go see Good Charlotte in Baltimore with Jordan. I probably shouldn't though. My bank account isn't being too friendly. Or maybe it's me not being friendly to it since I keep taking money out of it. Ryan has money though. He doesn't know yet I don't. I realized that a couple hours ago... =(

We got our pictures from the photographer yesterday. He gave us 200 proofs, and 3 cds with those pictures and all the rest on them. In some odd months we get a pretty book with pictures in it. =) We definitely won't get it in time for Christmas. I'm hoping we can have it before Sara comes home in February. I'll have to pick out the pictures sometime...

I went to Barnes & Noble yesterday to see if The Historian was out in paperback yet. It was. There were sooooo many other books I wanted! I resisted. I wrote them down, I'll buy them slowly. I'm about 1/4 through a book right now that will probably take me at least another month to finish. After that I have 2-3 other books to read before I'm out. And by then maybe it will be around Christmas time! =))

I haven't changed my ID or social security card yet. I've been having issues with it. But now I have everything I need and know what I need to do first. I just have to get up early enough to do it. Blehh.

 I'm at work. And I'm borrrrrrred. I don't want to be here at all. I want to be at home. =(

We've been productive concerning the apartment. We have one box of stuff to give to good will, and a couple boxes to retur to Ryan's parents. We still need a kitchen table. But we're working on that.

I want to go shopping. For clothes. Badly. And just spend lots and lots of money. Haha.

I don't really have anything to say. My brain isn't quite functioning.

So, I leave you with a survey. =)

Oh, and I posted a bunch of pics on webshots.

Friday night I went to Waldorf with Jennifer to visit a friend. (I know...who actually lives in Waldorf...?) We got home 5am Saturday. That's the latest I've stayed out for a freakin' loooooonnng time.

He gave us drinks.

I think he poisoned them.

I'm sick. Wedding is in 4 days.

Excellent.

Aside from wanting to die, the weekend was okay. I feel like I haven't worked at all. Haha. I left Friday at 130. And I stayed home yesterday. I only have today and tm, then it's vacation time!!!

Friday I had my last dress fitting. Over the weekend I went shopping for random stuff for the the appt, unpacked all our kitchen stuff, went to a pre-wedding hair appt, and waited around for the furniture delivery.

Monday I went to my doctor's appt, returned a bunch of crap to various places, and went home. I cooked spaghetti for dinner, and baked cookies.

I've been to Walmart at least once every day for the past 5 days. Most days twice.

We've run around and around with Comcast to get our internet and cable set up since Thursday. I finally made progress last night. Apparently the woman who came over Thursday screwed up royally and nothing was ever processed, and the information she took down was wrong. I called her all weekend, and she never returned my calls, never gave concrete information. I don't understand how someone can suck so bad at her job. It's all she does. It's the same thing everywhere. Someone is coming out tomorrow evening to set us up. Finally.

Ryan is showing his stress over wedding details. I'm showing mine with cold feet. Haha.
