so yeah. we're back to the whole *I-don't-know-what-to-do-about-my-job-I-really-like-my-job-but-could-get-a-lot-more-money-elsewhere-and-elsewhere-is-calling-right-now-and-it-really-wants-a-second-interview-but-is-it-what-I-want-or-what's-best-for-me-I-hate-making-these-decisions* times of my life. so please pray. pray that I don't go insane trying to MAKE a decision, and that I'll make the right one, and that both where I am and where I'm potentially going will be all the better for it.
in my ideal world, every other job wouldn't want to hire me (yes, I'm weird like that sometimes) and my current job would give me a big raise so I could pay for everything I need to and not have to worry about the electric or internet being cut off and we'd all live happily ever after.
but apparently my ideal world is galaxies away from this one.
suckiness.
could use some encouragement?

the sun'll come out for another day...
I am now going to create a post made entirely up of my part of emails to a certain someone I've taken to emailing while at work. It will be completely and totally random. be prepared. (as I hum the lion king song in my head.....)
[commence the copy/pasting]
okay, so how sucky is it that house and Gilmore girls are on at the same time now?!?!
I think I need to start drinking more caffeine in the morning. it may be bad for me, but it keeps me ready for my job. which is a good thing. [edit-removal of personalness] I think I’m going to go back for my master’s next fall, which will also take me FOREVER. so I hear ya. I’m going to have to buy some tapes and reprogram my VCR. now comes the decision of, should I tape House and watch Gilmore Girls, or tape Gilmore Girls and watch House?! it’s the big decisions in life that are the toughest.
I would really like to go to UK. I would most likely get my MBA (Master’s of Business Administration) hopefully with some sort of emphasis in accounting/finance. It would take me either 2 or 3 years, depending on how much I hate myself and I am willing to give up any semblance of a social life. They suggest taking only 2 classes a semester and therefore making it be a 3-year program. I would like to get it done and over with and take 3 a semester, but I don’t know if I’m up for that anymore or not. *sigh*
Coffee is my friend. As long as it’s good coffee, I could drink it all day long. Hot, iced, IV, whatever form you got it in. I am like Lorelai in this way. If I was a rich woman I would invest half my money in starbucks and build one attached to my house and drink it every morning. and every night (decaf, of course……)
School was okay while it lasted, but I was expecting to be done with it. I can see myself having some kind of a nervous breakdown for trying to do too much, too. which would result in more of the caffeine/sugar/chocolate habit. and a sharp increase in the purchase of ale8. we’ll see….
[when asked how I am doing today:]
well, seeing as how I was quite the industrialist this morning and actually made coffee for myself, and then drank a whole bunch of kool-aid at lunch, I now have to pee like a russian racehorse. now, I know you were waiting ALL DAY to hear that about me. and I’m just glad I could be the fulfillment of your dreams.
on another note, I think I have paper-cut myself about 80 times in the last 2 days. I’m usually pretty good at hurting myself like that, but these seem to be the days for the marathon accidental self-mutilation. I was disheartened today when a friend of mine told me they met someone who reminded them of me when that person kept dropping things and falling out of her chair. oh, the legacy I leave.
it seems that caffeine and sugar make me slightly more irrational than usual. oooo-that was profound. I should put it on my blog.
end.
I know that this post was probably confusing and something you didn't really wish to know about me, but since you've made it this far, you get the gold star for the day. mostly because I'm impressed that you would actually take the time to read something as disjointed as my mind's ramblings for the day. (actually, the last 2 days) I was originally only going to put my profound moment in this entry, but I figured, what the heck? why should only one person get to read my random wonderfulness? and now that you have vowed to yourself that you will never read another of my blogs again, I leave you. mostly cuz I know that I'm too addictive to ignore. (um... don't take that at more than face value) like I said, more irrational......
ps~~the weather is freakin awesome. why can't it be fall all year round?!

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
my coworkers insist on keeping it so chilly in our office that my fingers will hardly type because they're so numb. MUST find jacket in box craziness at home!!
A gloriously beautiful wedding took place this weekend. YAY for little bertha & RV!! it will be nice to have yet another couple of my back-home homeys living within 5 minutes of my place. Good times, lots of embarrassment with the presentation of the *honeymoon basket* at applebee's (almost as much as taking sonya to purchase components of said basket. I'm so evil) but seriously, she was absolutely gorgeous. perfect dress, perfect hair, perfect veil, perfect skin, perfect makeup... she was by far one of the most beautiful brides I've seen yet. (as ama would concur) if and when I get ahold of some pictures (my camera is still AWOL) I'll post some somewhere. good luck guessing which blog.
I think I've officially decided to go back to school next fall. yay for me (sarcastic drippingness) now if I can just figure out what to do about the job situation, I'll be doing okay.
poor doggy has eye issue. like it's swollen and he squints most of the time and it waters all the time. poor puppy. if I could just afford to take him to the vet my world would be better.

an astronaut? or perhaps an elephant herder?
YAY YAY YAY!!!!
my happy friend from pretty much all my life, the Midget :-), is coming in today. (actually, she came in last night... but I get to see her today.) YAY!! We're having lunch. at the mall. and then we're going to go buy naughty gifts for ex-nurse-roomie. oh wait... that sounds wrong. she's still a nurse. just no longer my roomie :-( I'm back to the singleness again. my bachelorette pad could use some serious work. but I regress.
YAY for Midget-ex-roomie! It's been so long... what, since february/march?! crazy... I remember the days when we never went more than a day not seeing each other. of course, those were also the days that my greatest hobbies were splashing in the creek and climbing the tree in front of her house. yes, at one point in my life I was a little tomboyish. but not so much as she. but that's a different story. speaking of, when I visited their house last winter or whenever that was, I found that the snake we skinned in 7th grade is still proudly hanging in their office/spare bedroom. or maybe it was in that bathroom. don't remember. but cool. oh, the memories.
it's nice to remember fun childhood memories. talking for hours about what we thought we would be when we grew up.... where we thought we would go and all the things we wanted to do. good times.
I'll stop now before the teary-eyedness gets overwhelming. Have a happy day, ya'll. and know that I'm having an awesome one! (erm... at least for lunch. who knows about the rest)

where did the weekend go?!
again, I feel like I need to say something on here, but I don't know what to say. this was a crazy, crazy weekend......
painted on the habitat house (result: happy lady and really sore muscles)
re-bought present for roomie, bought mom's birthday presents (aren't I wonderful?!)
CRAZINESS at church on Sunday. and I do mean craziness. poor drew... he'll never fill in for me again. which is bad, cuz I need fill-ins next month. *sigh*
lunch with fam... good times. mom's birthday. dad bought a cake from dairy queen (which was a much more surprising feat than it first seems)
procrastinated dog-washing and laundry-doing and general cleaning and unpacking.
no grey's anatomy. boo.
lots of naps. me like the sleepness!

oopsy daisy's bad bad day
most of you know that I tend at times to be a forgetful-type person. sometimes I just don't think about things, I don't think to remember them.
last night I learned something.
it is not a good idea to forget to roll up your car window all the way.
it is a bad, bad thing. especially overnight.
last night the above-mentioned forgetfulness happened. and someone decided to relieve me of the burden of all of my cds, my $50 gift for bethany from vs, and seriously only God knows what else. all of my stuff was dumped out of every crevice into the floor of the passenger side. they left my shoes and my lamp and my Bible, so I guess I should be thankful for that.
sometimes I really can't believe I'm as stupid as I am.
it's been a bad, bad morning.

I think I might maybe may
it's a new month! which, of course, means crazy-busy times at work. yay for me.
I haven't been feeling too well today. SO not cool. my guess would be some sort of food poisoning, but who knows. the only thing I can think of would be that our milk has gone bad and the 1/4 of a gallon I drank last night didn't sit well. since my allergies have created this whole I-can't-taste-anything monster, I really don't think I would have noticed the difference. drat.
maybe, just might maybe, I will take the roomie out this weekend for a night of excitement and fun in lexington. if she's not working or tired, and while I still have a little cash from today's paycheck. maybe a little beach volleyball at marikka's? urm... maybe not so much. but the jamaican band at atomic cafe is kinda fun... we'll see.

not for the faint of heart...
I think it's time to make myself shut up when my (male!) coworker asks if it's *that time of the month* for me because *all you've done is complain since you walked in the door this morning.* seriously, can I help it if everything I've touched has fallen apart or broken or jammed or worked INCREDIBLY slowly since I woke up this morning? seriously.
but I'll shut up now.
I could use some doritos. mmmmm....

workness and boxes.
so this whole posting in 3 different places is getting to be a little confusing. oh well.
got together with the fam and my dad's cousin's daughter and her husband (who have apparently been living in wilmore for 2 years, we just didn't know it)... slightly awkward (met her twice before..... many moons ago) but otherwise pretty cool. and may I just say, I really do love the *Circuit Rider* from solomon's porch. kinda sad... I've been there more times since I've graduated than I ever did while I was actually in wilmore. but anyway, good times, good peoples, and free food. what more could you ask for.
afterwards, stopped by the dorm (weirdness) to visit with heidi for a few.... gosh, sometimes I feel SO old. I remember the day she was born. (granted, I was only 5...)
hopefully tonight I'll have time to unpack some more. yay for me.
meeting in a half hour that I'm totally unprepared for. which totally wasn't my fault. but it's with corporate people. who intimidate me.
I so should have had the presence of mind (and cash?!) to get a caramel macchiato this morning. I could have used it. although I have finally broken into and started using the tea that corella left in my apartment FOREVER ago. today I'm having the lemon lover's thingeymabob. not too bad, once you get enough sugar in it :-)

watch out for the 3-leaved tyrant
poison ivy. it's not a fun thing. it has quite a presence in my new back yard. and now on me.
I've made it what, 3 years? without getting it? *sigh*.... I was hoping I had grown out of that allergy or something.
fat chance.
I need chocolate SO MUCH right now. a nap would be nice, too, but chocolate is the deal-breaker.
I would like to now thank the three of you who read this blog for stopping by. I know I'm not really that interesting via computer screen. but I love you for reading me anyway.

randomlings.
so yesterday while I was at work my dog managed to find the one piece of chocolate that hadn't been unpacked and was apparently sitting within his reach, to eat it, and to regurgitate it back up all over the carpet in my room and roomie's room. now that you're completely disgusted, on to happier things.
the fake mocha fusion caffe latte stuff I'm drinking this morning is disgusting. so I guess that isn't really a happier thing.
my neck is stiff today. hurts like a... really stiff neck. *sigh*
my stuffed lightening bug sitting on top of my monitor fell over and is now laying drunkily upside down. her name is edie and she has a light bulb on her butt. she's not as fun as my smurf. (thanks, friend)
break's over.

home-ings.
I really need to get my butt in gear and start unpacking more boxes. it's getting ridiculous. I'm sure I'm driving the roomie crazy. I seem to be good at that.
saturday is *former students' day* at the old high school alma-mater. the real mater is going with me.... yes, I know that makes me weird. but it will be good to be home again.... it's been awhile. and now that I have people there that will let me crash on their couch from time to time, hopefully it will happen a little more often. we'll see....
nurse-roomie told me a story about her and her fiancé going through the cave at natural bridge yesterday. reminds me of a time when I led a previous roomie through..... good times. (although I don't think former-roomie would say as much) nurse-roomie couldn't understand how you'd go through without a flashlight, either. (*what, did you think there would be windows?!*) all I have to say is, quoting the infamous blond lawyer-to-be,
*What, like it's hard?*

workings.
I'm finally starting to figure this whole blog thing out.... sometimes I can be so slow.
will I ever get everything unpacked? (in my moving this time, I found several boxes I hadn't bothered to unpack a year and a half ago when I moved before. SUCH a slacker.... )
So sleepy today. Can't wait for internet at home!
positive thing about sales meetings: your bosses disappear for a week. much more relaxed, much happier, much less motivation
bye now.

Sleep......
um, not getting any. (sleep that is... gosh, Coral. I miss you! oh wait.... that sounded wrong. but I'll close the parentheses now anyway)
been getting at most 4 hours of sleep pretty much every night this week (since the return from kc) but on a good note, the only things left to move are the food in the fridge and my grill. I'd like to see the hands of all those who think I can get it all CLEAN on my hour lunch break...
anyone? anyone?
yeah, me neither.
Chico has already christened the new place (that, or it was Daisy. or both of them. who knows.) either way, there's pee on my downstairs bathroom floor. which I should really clean before they move in the washer & dryer.
can't wait for sleep........
