well at least someone liked the cookies i made yesterday.

today we went to the post office. i had to wait in line. while in line a couple was there weighing their wedding invitations but they didn't put the map in yet. silly people. i learned in 2 days wedding stamps are coming out but only in the 58 cent ones. then we went to paintertown fire hall to meet the caterer. i called my mom on the way and asked the best way. she told me to take school hill 1 and if i missed that i could take school hill road 2. that's pretty funny. i made the first one. we were like a minute late. the meeting was awesome. they provide way more than i thought they would.

then we went to bubba darius for dinner. dave loves their pizza. we got fries first then pizza. then the table next to us did the same thing. i guess we aren't weird.

then it was off to target to return the broken fan and try to buy a new one. well they all sucked. but i did buy a purse, some insoles for my shoes, and a new wallet (2 actually. i'm so bad. really i am. i can't afford this now).
then we went all the way down 30 to 66 and took that to delmont and went to that walmart. they had a fan that dave likes. yay. we tried to go to dairy queen on the way back for dave but they closed at 10:30. we got there at 10:28 and they locked the doors as we were pulling in.

i don't get nearly enough e-mails throughout my day.

today was not a good day. then it got better. this evening was good and th en it became awful.

i can't print out the maps. the picture of the map disappeared from the file my mom sent me. it only has the words directions. now i might have to visit them tomorrow evening to print them out.

oh and i thought i'd have time friday but we're going to see artie lange at heinze hall. so i guess i will have "free" time on saturday so i can talk to a baker.

so today when my dad was giving options about picking up timmy and mike in brooklyn and also moving timmy out of brooklyn right at the time of my ceremony, my mom started yelling saying she didn't have to go.

i'm sick of it. i know why people give the advice of just eloping.

after going to a million stores in the mall, i bought shoes for the wedding. i hope they don't end up hurting. they probably will.

i think i forgot to mention how yesterday my mom made me add eat to my to do list today since i forgot yesterday since i didn't write it down and i just went boom boom boom through my to do list.

oh boy

so today i went for a run, showered, ate a muffin, went to the jewelry store,michael's, bed, bath, and beyond, sam's club, joann fabrics, kmart, then back home to drop off the stuff, then to my mom's. we worked on the bussle for my dress. i got lightheaded and was blacking out so we had to stop. i ate a granola bar and drank a small glass of milk. then it was off to spy in erin's new house that she bought. then joann fabrics, linen's and things, famous footwear but it wasn't there, so i went to marshalls. then kohls, famous footwear, world of values, and payless. then it was 9pm and time for dinner or lunch or whatever. we went to pugliano's. oh yummy pizza. then it was back to my parents house. i did the 2nd half of the shopping with them. we then looked up white shoes since i failed at finding white shoes at stores. well it was not easy to find white shoes while online either. now i have to hit up the mall and see if some of the stores that we found white shoes at actually have them in the store. so now my tomorrow plans are changed. so i got home like 10 minutes ago.

tomorrow i have to go to the mall, go to pat catan's, then go to my parents to actually make the bussle with the ribbon, then it's graduation party time 3-7. after 7 i will put stamps on the invitations. i didn't get to do that today. i have 3 new addresses so i can actually print those ones. i'm still missing at least 2 addresses though but i think i'll mail the rest without them.

so i just returned home. left the house around 1pm. so last night was my early night returning home. i got home around 10:20. i forget what i did monday or tuesday. so they may have been early nights. i'll check into that now. ok tuesday i was out until like 10:30. i forget what was monday.

more plans

while i'm thinking about it, i'll post. Thursday Angie is coming over to scrapbook and make cards. we've had the plans for awhile. they were originally for last Thursday but I postponed them to this week. that means prior to Thursday i need to print some pictures and also make / find some card examples.

there were too many people out and about today so i stopped my run incredibly early. my face was red i could tell. i didn't want people eying me up.

so 10 minute slow jog for me today.

upcoming plans

saturday (tomorrow): jewelry store, sam's club to pick up pictures and buy kleenexes, Bed, bath, and beyond to buy the other tv tower, Joann fabrics to use my 50% off coupons for wedding stuff (expires tomorrow), get bussle put on my dress
Sunday: graduation party
Monday: work then dinner with Adam
Tuesday: work then meeting with the caterer at the reception hall
wednesday: work then dinner with my mom and Kris to discuss wedding decorations.


oh and i have to make a map and directions to the reception hall, print them, put them in the envelopes, print a few more envelopes. put stamps on the envelopes, and mail it all.
i really want to get in a run every other day at least. i haven't run since monday. i'm going to run at least 1 5k this summer but hopefully 2. i have to research where and when.

and thursday is too far in advance. i probably have something.

i'm such a girl. we looked at wedding bands today. we are going back tomorrow. dave's ring size is big so they aren't sure of the cost so he was checking online and he couldn't find prices either.

i just napped for about an hour. it wasn't nearly long enough.

busy bee

well i got home today at 11:13. so that's earlier than it has been. plus i was home for about 5 minutes after work and before i left. time to shower.

i think i'm going to die from being so busy and not being able to sit and rest and never being done.

we went ot dave and busters. it was fun. but it was too crowded so we didn't cash and buy anything w/ the tickets. so now i have to keep this dave and buster's card for next time. it actually wans't as fun as before. it was too crowded andd i didn't' get to use my favorite games.

i only ran 18 minutes today but th eworkout was way harder than the last time i ran at 15 minutes. i went on northern pike and then the 2 housing plans. i should have done the dead end first. that hill was rough. i also ran around the plan a little before northern pike.

3 loads of laundry done. well the last load was just a comforter. i didn't put it in the dryer. it's hanging over a shelving unit to dry. my hands are so dry from the laundry detergent.

last week i picked a place for the reception and picked a caterer for the reception.

this week i hope to talk to the florist and also talk to a few bakers (or maybe just one baker) about the wedding cake and cookies. i will also mail out invitations. if i am still missing a few addresses, i'll catch them the next day. i'm also still deciding if i should register and where. i thought i should but my mom thinks i shouldn't she said you do that for a sh ower. well i'm not getting one so i think i should do it anyway. i've already had someone ask what to get me.

things that bug me

so i gave dave's mom picture from April 2004. these pictures had Dave, Justin, their great Aunt Florence, and their mom. well what bugs me is that dave's mom only makes a big deal about loving hte pictures with justin and she wants me to get her 8x10 of them. she doesn't say anything at all about the pictures with dave. doesn't say she likes them. doesn't take a second look at them. granted justin died but shouldn't you like to have pictures of your living son too. grrr. should i be letting this bother me as much as it does?

how is it already 9pm. i have os much that i want to do. i also have ot do laundry. i have to clean up.

worst bed ever.

the bed we lseep in when visiting pb's family. it's the worst.

i just finished making pizzelles. the first few were too thick and fluffy. i learned to cook them longer. the rest were more like gram's. some are a little darker. i got about 3 dozen with 3 eggs worth of ingredients. my gram gave me the recipe today for 6 eggs worth. that's the only ingredient she measures. i mostly followed her recipe but i didn't put as much anise in it. i probably only put 1/8 of what she puts in.

the loop in our apt complex is so small i get so bored with it. i even switch directions and do different turns to do the circle and i do all ways and it's 15 minutes. that's what i did today. it was too dark or i was going to run on the main road to a different complex.

ack. i missed posting yesterday because i left at 7am for work and then didn't return until midnight.

i don't have enough time after i get home from work and before it gets dark. it's so annoying.

i just ironed 6 shirts. i hate these new shirts nowadays that you have to iron.

we went to the pool tonight. it was tiring.

i'm sick of my shoes. my shins hurt.

i went to target with Haley. i got what i forgot to get yesterday. tennis balls and bleach for colors.

today

i bought invitations today and a tiara. i also bought a bra for under my wedding dress. i looked at shoes.

i spent an hour trying to decide which invitations to get.

i bought new chocolate for work but forgot to buy bleach for colors. pb and i went to gateway high school track to walk.

now i'm doing laundry. i need to do some westinghouse work before the night is up.

i just took out the tiara to show dave and a little bead came off. i could glue on a new one but stupid thing fell off. i can't find where it bounced to.

15 min run today. i had to spit so i returned.

i'm a horrible wedding planner. somebody do it for me.

i may change my wedding reception place again.

i hate vonage. i always have. i dont understand why/how pb loves it. it always breaks. now i'm going to go way over on my cell this month because that one sucks.

i guess things are better now. there are more choices. i decided not to give away dates just yet because things seem to change every time i do.

mad

hate hate hate

hopefully tomorrow it will all work out but i'm not even going to get into it that's how mad i am.

but it does involve a paragraph in my previous post.

a few things

so why does david's bridal keep sending me post cards about their gown sales. i already bought a dress through them. yes through them. that's how they got my info. do they think i need 2 dresses or something?

today dave said "look there's a hottie" and when i turned to see who he was pointing out, he was pointing to me.

i booked our ceremony place and honeymoon today and moved up the wedding a few months. so the wedding is in about 10 weeks.

i made dinner tonight. 2 kinds of spaghetti because i'm a good gf. i made angel hair for me and regular for pb. then i made a separate sauce for him too with tomato chunks.

our cable keeps going out here so i didn't get to post this earlier.

i unpacked a box today.

and by unpacked i mean i took all the junk out of the box and put it down on the carpet beside the box. the junk also blocks the doorway to the den (not sure what we are calling the room, it's computers, scrapbooking, and my old bedroom furniture)

i went running tonight.

today

i made dinner for 5 people tonight. i sat on the back of the couch to join the table. not enough chairs. dave was originally going to sit on the couch but decided to join everyone else. brian complimented me on my potatoes. some guitar hero was played and then once everyone ate they left. i wanted them to stick around a little.

4 inch heels did not agree with me today.

this was such an awful weekend. everything went wrong so then i didn't have time to do other stuff.

at least dave discovered that if he moves the really really old cable wire away from the power strips then the internet works again. but i doubt that was the problem but what a coincidence that was.

the dryer now works. the washer does too. the washer liked to drain onto the floor. we learned that the floor is sloped in the exact opposite corner of the drain. sucks

i've spent about the last hour playing guitar hero. i can't even believe it.

oi

i sent my mom my link to yesterday so i wouldn't have to retell her. then she complained about how she wont read my journal and i said to read it. then she sends me an e-mail correcting all my typos. she copied the post into her e-mail and changed all the words to red that she changed. if she only knew every post was like that then she wouldn't get on my case. she told me not to get mad in the e-mail.

more

also it makes me so mad that jason and haley won't ever drive and always want dave to drive. they never ever pay for gas. they dont pay for parking. i had to pay for parking last night. they even comment that they don't really care about money but they never pay enough when we split a bill. friday night at dinner they only gave us enough money for an 11% tip. i call them on this and they say that's all they give. but if he was putting it on his credit card he'd give more.

this is continuation from last night because i had to pay for the parking. so it was like one thing that made me mad after the other.

pretty much the worst day

I didn’t get any unpacking done yesterday. We spent forever trying to get our vonage phone. well mainly dave did it all. i didn't do much except help him plug and unplug things upstairs. he even called their customer support and talked for what seemed like a half hour when i was upstairs. they finally fixed it but through that ordeal happen to break our wireless router so we had to go buy a new one. he broke the router by plugging the vonage power into it. it did something to the wireless but it would still work as a router if you could plug in. but vonage doesn't work now because he moved vonage to upstairs before realizing that he broke the router.

while we were out buying the router, we also bought a 3 prong cord for the dryer instead of our 4 prong one. now i can do laundry. not that i want to but i need to. *

we had plans to go to a baseball game. there would be 5 total. dave didn'' want to drive since he felt like he was getting a cold and had be taking cold medicine and he felt that he shouldn't have to since he always does. well nobody else would so if he didn't we weren't going. he was mad. he drove. we left at 3:40 to go to fuddruckers before the game. It took us an hour and a half to get down to Fuddruckers. i was in so much hate of all the traffic and waiting 20 minutes on the bridge to even turn right and then also people going fast in the left late (the wrong lane) and then cutting over at hte last minute, that i wasn't even hungry anymore. Then off to the game. the ride to the game wasn't as bad as to fuddruckers but i still think it was worse than theride down used to be a few years ago. at the game i bought food near the end of the game that i would get to finish by the end but stupid 9th inning, we had to get the other team out in 3 fly outs so it was over so quickly and then since we were ahead we skipped the last half inning. i still had half my nachos left. it made me mad. i got up to carry them out and eat while walking and got cheese all over my shirt. they were impossible to hold w/o using my thumb which had a splint thing on it. so i held them like a waitress holds a tray. my arm was frozen in that positing. then while getting into the car i notice a note under the windshield wiper. the note said that they watched someone back into our car and leave and gave the plate number but they didn't sign it. so all four of us have to get out of the car. dave made me call the cops but after he was already leaving the garage. we had to wait for the cops. It only took them 2 hours to find us. We weren’t exactly at the spot we said we were, we moved down to the end of the block to pull over and not be in everyone’s way. But it was at least an hours wait before the original guy tried to show up. I think more like an hour and a half.

also jason deletes pictures from my camera. gravester and pb probably still remember the time they did and how mad i was. and they deleted one of mine in may of 2003 and it was only 1 picture. jason is never touching my camera again.

* update: i tried to hook up the new 3 prong and it's the wrong kind of 3 prong. who knew there were even 2 kinds. now i have to go out again. this sucks.

i just made a car appt. i described my problem and then the guy just started busting out laughing. sigh

i also made an apt for an oil change since it's been a year. the oil reading thing still says 53% but since it's been a year i shoudl do it.

the problem w/ the car is that i thought the turnsigal light was out. but then it'll work again. then the next time i drive it won't. i assume this means it's electrical. how should i have explained that to get the guy to not laugh at me.

well if i even knew how to get ot the turn signal i could change it myself but i don't. i wont ask people becuase they'll think i'm stupid. also it may not be electrical. i just think that they'll find nothing wrong and then laugh at me again.

i was so exhausted last night so i was going to go to sleep early. somehow that didn't happen. i was up til midnight. there just isn't enough time in the day to unpack and catch up on all my files that i update and rest.

there is too much to unpack and not enough room for it.

how exciting

dave and i got cookies today. the note says "from your stalker"

it's too hot. the thermostat is st to 70 and it's not running0 so apparently it's 70 downstairs. but ti's 77.5 upstairs. they said we'd get a set back thermometer but we didn't.

so tomorrow we need to call the apt people about the set back thermeter, pugliano's about getting our deposit back, and dave needs to call erie to change his insurance address. then i need to change my address on my credit cards. we need to change our address at work.

so much to do that i even got distracted in the middle of this post.

we got our new a/c today. it's huge. i haven't gone down to see the new furnace though.

yay for internet. not yay for not being able to get cable in the 2nd bedroom. not yay for not having a/c yet. not yay for not having any silverware here so i couldn't eat my cereal. we even bought the milk yesterday.

busy weekend

our new place is smaller but a lot of things are better about it. last night i wanted to walk around the nieghborhood and peer in people's windows to see how they figured out how to arrange their furniture but i got distracted unpacking and didn't get to it.

it was too hot yesterday to work so i didn't get much done at all.

i have numerous bruises on my arms and legs. moving really does a number on me.

yesterday we bought a new micrwoave. we bought the same one my parents have. it's about as big as our kitchen. it actually is too wide to fit on any of our counter space so we have to put it on the desk. i can't figure out how to organize anything in the kitchen cabinets.

we'll have internet tomorrow at our new place. i'm not sure about what the window is for the cable guy. i guess i should look into that. i have to so some work for Westinghouse tomorrow. oh and i have to do my time sheet. perhaps i'll do that now since it's due by 9am.

it's too hot to unpack at the new place. the new a/c won't arrive until Tuesday. it sucks. we're goign to be sleeping at my parents house again tonight. earlier we had the a/c low at the old place so then ti was 80 degrees. well that also sucked for packing. today was too unproductive. it needs to be cooler. i can't handle it. i may go into work on Tuesday just to be cooler and then use some vacation at another time. now the old place is down to 75 but it is also cooler outside. now it's manageable to pack.

o boy

russ will like this one too

so not only was my alarm set but pb's was set too. his goes off at 7:15. mine at 7:02.they weren't on when we got home so they must turn off eventually.

so much is packed yet so much is left. too bad i didn't totally finish a room or anything. i've started to just line things up and i'll make the trips tomorrow. if i dont get the junk cleaned off the tops of furniture, my dad will be yelling at me tomorrow.

i'm full. i hate uhaul.

originally we booked at 17 ft truck. we did it forever in advance because this weekend is crazy with people moving. then somethign got messed up and we had to switch things around and then could only get a 14 ft truck. well then yesterday we called to confirm and see if we could get truck sooner and learned the other guy messed up changing our order/time the last time (14 ft truck time) so they didn't have any trucks anymore for when we needed. so they called around and got us a truck at a different uhaul. we have to go to different uhaul to pick it up. but this time it's a 10 ft truck. this sucks.

alarm clock

russ will love this one.

my alarm has been going off this week when i haven't been home. i'm awful. my neighbors probably hate me.

i'm back from pittsburgh. it's hot.

today was a little better. the japanese restaurant wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.

today wasn't as bad. i knew i'd be hungry. they feed us too early. dave and i got a pizza after returning to our hotel. i'm still hungry. i didn't get ot eat it before it got cold becasue timmy called and he needed directions.

today our fueling the business workshop consisted of listening to lectures about boring crap that i alreayd knew about then doing team building activities. team building and customer relations activities. our last activity was an egg drop. overall it sucked. now i have 15 minutes before i have to leave to go to a silly dinner.


off topic: i'm mad about my pants. they were kind of tight when i bought them which was nice. now they are loose and no fun at all.

ugh

i hate people my age. the bus ride home from dave and busters just made me want to kill myself.

it's almost time for dave and busters

i have ot pick out my clothes for Tues-Friday and i have to pick out worth clothes adn evening (casual clothes). i started packing my clotehs at 10:30. i'm still not done. i still need another work outfit and another night outfit. plus if it's cold or hot then i'm screwed so i should have a backup outfit for each. oh and i only got this far becuase 2 different people looked at my picture site and then gave me outfits to wear. one of the outfits i had picked out for myself first so i guess i made a good choice.

new camera

i like my new camera and all but way more pictures end up blurry than did with my old camera.

1 year ago was RPI graduation

yesterday

so we left at 5:32 to get to the game at 7:05. normally it takes a half hour to get there. well half hour. hour and a half. same difference. then we had to wait in line to exchange our tickets from the previous rain out. we didn't really think to leave earlier. we thought we'd get there plent early and we only made the decision to go at 5:15. or say the final decision to go. some people (Brian) are unsure if he wants to go or not. we were stuck in so much traffic that i got out and walked the rest of the way. Brian and jen had gotten in line and they were next by the time i got thre. actually they were next for awhile. they had been letting people get in front of them. i never walked so fast over the 6th street bridge. my exercise enduced asthma was kicking in. so then we're at the ticket booth and the guy is taking 8 years to exchange the tickets. he's trying to add and we can't figure out waht he's doing. he never says a word to us. he takes forever that peoople at the booths on both sides of us come and go and come and go in the time that we're there. so finally we got the tickets just as the game was starting. Dave still hadn't parked the car. JD still wasn't there. I gave Jen and Brian their tickets and let them go in while i'd wait. about 2 minutes later dave got there. eh said "ok lets' go" not realizing that I still had JD's ticket. so then he kind of offered to wait with me too but he kept talking about what he was missing. so he went in and i waited for JD. well JD and i were on opposite sides of the park once he got there. he walked to me even though i thought our seats were by him. oops i made him walk. i did tell him where our seats were. so then we finally go in and half to walk around half the park. we were a little late. then after the first inning dave and i got up to get food. it was a battle keeping the food from blowing away. it was too windy. so i didn't actually see a single play of the game until the 3rd or 4th inning. the guy in front of us got hit with some coleslaw from dave's sandwich, a few nochoes, and then with the fry box once it was empty. poor guy.

the pirates got 6 runs in one inning. we thought for sure they'd win. well then the other team got a grand slam later to tie it up (7-7) then the following inning they got 2 runs. uh o. then we got 1 run and in the 9th it looked like we were gonna get a homerun and we all stood up but the guy on the other team caught it right at the back wall. i'm not sure waht the other team was. it was some weird name i never heard of. ok i looked i up incase anyone is wondering. here's an actual article if you don't like my summary. oh here's a nice summary. i originally didn't know what kind of key word's to search for.

JD, Jen, Brian, Dave, and I went.

then afterwards we went to Brian's under the assumption that he lived right of Carson street and we were going to walk to a bar or something. well his right off carson street is like a mile up the hill off carson street. brian's place is such a dump; i can't believe he lives there. then we get down to the bar and wait in this line for like 15 minutes and as we're getting out our IDs dave realizes he doesn't have his wallet. so this is not good. so dave and i walk back up to get his wallet. i didn't think we'd go back down but dave was willing. i was shocked at this. then finally we got to the bar. JD was already drunk. some of Brian's roommates were there. i think the bar was called something like Carson City Saloon or other. so it was weird. the music was so loud. they played all these country songs that were new so i didn't know them. everyone else there knew them and shouted the lyrics. they sold beer out of tubs so you didn't have to go all the way over to the bar. that was hard work by the way. i got a rum and coke. it cost me 3.75. Brian complains about Jason and Haley being smoopy. well he was all over Jen at the bar. I still can't get over how short they are. a few of brian's roommates were there. i only remember the name of "mikey." that guy was pretty nice. aka he actually talked to me so i could hear him. i think it was his birthday week so they were celebrating. he told me they normally call brian "B R Y A N" but tonight if you did that you can to buy a round of drinks. they were calling him my different woman's names. i'm not sure how that came about. it was done in the walk back to dave's car to get his license.

my drink was too strong for me to drink quickly. i say this because after less than a half hour dave said he was getting a headache and was going to leave w/o me so i had to finish my drink. that wasn't happening. so then i gave it to JD. i don't know if he really drank it or not. but you can't waste alcohol. then we made the trek back up the hill. on our way on carson street we saw a cop pull someone over. i'm nto sure what the guy was doing. then there were 4 cop cars down past 18th on carson and i'm not sure what was going on there. they were blocking a lane of traffic so a cop was there directing. this was at 1:30. then walking up 18th we saw a car coming down teh road. it might have been a tad fast but i'm not sure. and a cop pulled him over. so when we drove out of south side we made sure to obey all laws since we didn't even notice the other guys doing anything wrong. going back down the hill, the cop was at the car of the guy he pulled over (it was like 10 minutes prior that he actually pulled him over). they are kind of blocking the lane of traffic so we had to go into the other lane to pass them. this was at a light. just as we are doing this the cop backs away from the car and more into the road. i think he was asking to be hit. but we didn't do it. all the walking made my shins hurt.

we got home a little after 2 and went right to sleep. dave said he wouldn't cuddle with me because my hair smelled like smoke. i had such an awful nights sleep. i woke up every 5 minutes or so since 8 so at 10 i decided to just get out of bed.

(i tried to make this detailed so when i scrapbook the pictures from this day, the story is already written. too bad i didn't take out typos or anything)

my knees hurt from carrying things down the steps. i barely packed anything at all.

pb got his car back from teh sohp today. they replaced the bumper. 973 bucks i believe. it took them 4 days even though they only said 2.

i told dave i'm going to go on a strict diet w/ lots of exercise, while i was eating donuts. he kept talkign to me about it. then after a few seconds i said "strict diet. but like how i'm eating donuts now" then he laughed.

packing isn't any fun.

i keep wanting ot pack. i never know what to pack. my evenings disappear and i dont do anything. yet all evening i seem to be busy except the hour that i watch tv. moving is going to be rediculous

i seem to be misearable

i just woke up from a 2 hour nap. pb was asleep. he kept trying to read his textbook and was falling asleep. finally an hour later i joined him.

oh and

i dont' think my parents appreciated our new tv. my dad made some comment under his breath about us not being able to save money if we keep spending too much.

mother's day dinner

so my parents and brother came over for dinner today. there was some mishap with the grill and the grease drips from the previous time caught on fire. so after an hour that was taken care of . but this put the meat behind schedule. everytime my parents come over it's hectic. we can cook the same foods w/o them here and it's fine.

the roasted potatoes were done about 10 minutes before they needed to but i thought things would be crazy if i had them be done at just the right time. so then they started getting cold by the time everything else was actually done. i made the sauce for the hot saucage aroudn 2pm today and just reheated it for 5. i also steamed the green beans around that time and just put them in the fridge. then i heated them up on the stove w/ butter and salt at dinner time. it's the first time i've ever made fresh green beans. my mom's never made them either. they were good. i barely bought any and thought they'd turn out bad. of course if i bought a lot i would have found a way to mess them up. i did open a can of green beans because there wasn't a lot. but nobody ate those. i need to come up with better vegetables to make at picnics. also i only ever make roasted potatoes for guests. i should come up with something else. roasted potatoes are easy but so time consuming. i need to come up with something better. while i was prepping the green beans i thought how it wasn't worth the trouble for fresh green beans but then the taste was so nice afterwards. i guess i'll have to do that again.

oh so i only got dressed just as my parents were arriving. i didn't put on any makeup or even rebrush my hair after getting dressed.

gram's

i went to gram's after having to go in through the basement and make my way to the stairs and make my way up them in the dark. then i let everyone else in through the front door (well through the middle floor front door). i still feel spider webs on me. that was so scary. those steps are narrow. oh and going into the backdoor i pulled hte doorknob off. oops. i don't know how anyone can walk on them. then we looked at some pictures. i took some from the walls. i don't think i will get to keep them so i have to scan them in and return them. i want more. then i went up the trap door. now that was also scary and narrow. people must have been skinny back in the day. i eyed up the pictures on teh wall and wanted some. i didn't take any. then i went to a closet. the door was open. it's never opened. well there was th is box of pictures. it was a jackpot. there are so many super old ones. some from the 40s. i dont know how a lot of them are but i fi recognize them i'm going to scan them in. my grandparents were in a million wedding parties. i'm nto sure who the pheople are. then my dad knew some and everyone has weird names like Putt, Giggy (sp... w/ pronuciations like a g), scutta, snookie, and much much more. that was some weird stuff. i want to go to gram's to go over who the people are. i took the box with me becuase my dad didn't want me wasting tons of time there. we had to leave before it was dark because it's hard enough. i said "who is going down through the basement? not it" well then i went down. then leaving i made sure to not touch the doorknob. well it fell off anyway.

i went to a co-ed baby shower today. everyone asked where dave was (or big dave). next work thing i'm invited to i'm making him go. so the party actually lasted liek 3.5 hours. then a bunch of us moved to the bar. i think when i left only the people i was talking to were left from the party. i heard lots of stories.

i had such trouble trying to match this morning.

i have a baby shower to go to tomorrow. i didn't buy the present yet.

update

timmy is fat. I thought I’d update you on how fat timmy is. I didn’t recognize him in the store twice. He just keeps looking fat. Then at walmart pb and timmy were helping me look for something and then they bumped guts. Their heads were feet apart. w/ the bump then timmy bumped into me and almost knocked me over. Then I started laughing so hard because they said they bumped guts. I didn’t even know they bumped and I wondered why timmy had bumped into me.

dinner was really fun. i laughed so hard.

also i forgot to take my daily picture again today. so 2 days in a row no work clothes picture. also i forgot ot weigh myself this morning.

timmy gave me my cds. i wanta 2nd copy now so i have some at work. i knew all but about 4. i didn't get the whole way through the third cd though. they laugh that i never recognize the song until the chorus.

i went to a stmapin' up party tonight. i always want to order so much. they make it so convenient telling me what colors match. but then they make it so you have to order their colors.

my throat hurts. my back hurts. i'm just getting old.

the car

here's the pic of the car i told you about. note that the light is red. you can also read the license plate. timmy said i should turn them in to get a ticket.

this is also a reduced file size.

funny car

so today at the light to turn left into sam's club from 22 a car was in the other left turn lane. he didn't go when the light was green. we were confused. then as we got closer we realized his car was smoking. then after it turned red for awhile he went and turned left. his car was smoking the whole way up the hill. he pulled into the gabriel's brothers parking lot. pb and i turned there instead of going up to sams so i could continue to take pictures. the lady wasn't happy when she saw us driving taking their picture. the pics are still on my camera but tomorrow i'll load them and link them. i think i took about 10 pics and i dont think you can tell it's smoke in most of them.

i thought my allergies were bad with the allergy medicine but they are awful without it.

i'm a little disappointed with soem features of my camera. some i might be able to fix if i learn all the settings but some things just don't exist.

i was up from 3 til 5am this morning with a stomach ache. it sucked.

pb's x-box and games sold for a lot higher than i thought. i guessed it'd sell for 100. apparently there was some bidding war going on there at the end. it sold for 242.50 and 25 bucks shipping. there were 15 games involved. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230123493950

it is so winddy i can't believe it.

we just got home from visiting clarion. i was impressed by the room they give the RDs. she had a full size bed and a separate room with a couch and tv stand provided by the school.

i curled my hair pretty and pb doenst like it.

today is cinco de mayo. i wonder if el campecino has free margaritas like they did last year.

i'm so hungry. but then i'im also so lazy. i'm going to be so hungry in the morning. if only i didn't have to walk down the stairs and all the way into the kitchen for some food.

ugh

so i weighed myself this morning and yesterday morning. i didn't write it down though. now i can't remember what it was.

i had olive garden leftovers. yay. now i can have a good lunch tomorrow.

oi

i really should read my camera book.

oh man that was a good veronica mars

it's too hot.
