thursday

And so life goes on...........

angela is busy firing up the grill for our delicous dinner of burgers and corn-on-the-dob..yummy

we had a team meeting today. how silly since we aren't going to be there all that much longer.  i am glkad they didn't concentrate on"metrics" as they always have done in the past, and  i wasn't happy to hear about the ramp down plans as they are.  but what ever.  Nathan is leaving.  i will miss him.  he and i started on the same day and we have become friends.

as always looking forward to the weekend.  don't know what i'm gonna do, but you know i'll find something

July?????

Oh dear, what is the date??? I can barely remember my name these days

It has been soooo hot.  I had to go to a wedding Friday night after work,.  Amber and Mild Bill got hitched.  No more free tatoo's for me and I have to let go of my obsession with Bill.  He is sooooo cute.  Anyways, the temperature was 102 degrees and we had to sit on white plastic chairs in the blazing sun watching this ceremony.  lucky it was short.  Then onton to reception.  That was in an airconditioned reception hall, which was nice.  brooke was all weird, drinking about 3 "Rockstars" and jsut like acting so like Lori before she relapsed....cheap high, ()(Lori did quad shot espresso, Brooke is doing Rockstars, Obsessing on boys, etc etc)))  So i just got annoyed and asked to be driven home.  I had to wait untill the end. 

yesterday i went shopping with dawn and hannah.  I got hannah a key to our apartment and made her promise that if she skips school she will not party at our house.  We got home and my roomie had her new"girlfriend" there.  How weird

Right now i have Zuchini Bread in the oven and we are having some of the girls from the womens group come over for an impromptu BBQ at 3.  omorrow is work....One Month left

Today

So..Here I am at work

First question is, why has the internet been so slow the last few days?? Is there something going on that even The Queen does not know? Couldn't be!!

Camp recovery was interesting last weekend.  I had an ok time, no fabulous but not too bad.  I guess I am not going to enough meetings because I don't know a lot of the new people.  Brooke was busy trying to put the moves on Lamonte and I just hungout/visited with all the other people I did know

I am really hating my job.  I have absolutely no motivation and no desire to be there, but I trudge on and on.  I realy would like to get a job in the clients house, but no call yet.  some others have, but not me.  That is quite a blow to my already hurting ego and my low self esteem..What?? You ask.. You have low self esteem?? How So??? It is amazing how this stuff, the stress of getting laid off, et all, affects me. 

I like that my hair is growing long and that I can finally put it up and stuff.  however my gray roots are showing

 

 

July 13, 2004

Well....I now have phone and digital cable installed at home. It is amazing. Both guys came on time!! I am sooo glad I didn't have to wait all day.

Then I spent the rest of the day playing my new game.."Stronghold"..i will beat it, i promise you. I also got Harry Potter for Hannahbug. She, ((Hannahbug)) is going to stay at my house this weekend with Angela while her mom, dad, me and about 400 otehr people go to Camp recovery. I am not excited about this at all, but, I think it'll be ok. At least i get to stay in the camper. I hope it isn't toooooo crouded. last year was totally ridiculous.

I stil need to unpack a bunch of boxes and do some decorating on the new place

July the eighth

I haven't updated in a while!!! My phone in my new place will not be working for untill next monday and that is the same day the cable guy is coming. it sucks being with out both the interent and the phone!! i feel like i am in limbo waiting for something.
