I've discovered that Wicked is at the Fox next June... So I know what I want to do for my 21st birthday already
And maybe go and get a drink afterwords... Maybe

Currently though, life isn't going to badly. Wedding is actually in 10 days.Somehow, it doesn't feel like it's that soon, and I'm not really sure if we're ready or not. Ready to be married to Chris, yes. Ready with planning? There's really too much to get done. But, whatever happens, we get married, and everything works out. Rather looking forward to it. :)

Honestly, my biggest complaint is money, but who's isn't?

Happiness with Chris though? Doing pretty good on that right now.

So I'm not so great at keeping updated am I?

Well, Chris has started working a construction job. If he can make it two days without severely injuring himself, I'm amazed. But he has been enjoying it and it is a steady income, which surprised me seeing how he got the job in January. I thought construction workers didn't work in the winter. Ah well.

I'm still pulling myself along through life. I can't really think of anything major going on...

I did hear that they scheduled ICC on Halloween and for those of you who read this that do the ICC thing... I will send wedding invites, just to let you all know I was thinking about you, but I definitely do not expect anyone to leave ICC for the wedding. I'll probably reiterate that closer to then, but just letting anyone who that concerns know. :)

Anywho... I am le tired... I think I'm going to crash early tonight

Edit:
A few Minutes late, I need to vent my frustration.

Damn mouse...

So I hear a mouse in the kitchen, and we know it's been in there, cause it got into Taboo's bag of food, but I think it's only one mouse. We bought a mousetrap, but it's in my car and I don't want to go out into the cold right now... So, I hear the mouse in there, and realized it was back in the cabinet that holds Taboo's food. I think "NO! You can't have it!" and call Taboo over, because she would hunt mice for fun at our last house. She lifts her head, looks at me and lifts her leg. "Pet my Tummy"

Fine. I will kill this mouse by myself. So I grab my Swiffer, and open the door to the cabinet, prepared for it to jump and attack me or something, because man, have you seen how big those things get? And they can be mean! So I open the door and then hear it skittering behind the bag. I pull the bag out, and try to lean it against the wall so I can go back for the little vermin... and as I look away from the bag, it slides down spilling dog food ALL over my kitchen. Not to mention, the mouse seems to have disappeared, so now, I have not caught the mouse, there is dog food covering the kitchen floor, and Taboo now decides it's worth her time to lazily get up and walk over to the kitchen. Mind you, this is only to curl up and go back to sleep in the middle of the mess.

Dammit... Let Chris deal with it in the morning

Asthma Jokes

2008-11-17T04:01:45Z

So, a friend is over and hanging out with Chris and me, watching Gundam Wing. He walks past me as I have my feet up on our recliner. He starts tickling my feet. I start laughing, and yelling at him, and then realize I can't breathe (I had been having problems all day that day) I'm trying to yell "Stop! Stop!" Except I can't really breathe, and I'm still trying not to laugh since I'm being tickled. He of course thinks I'm just reacting to being tickled, so he keeps it up.
At this point, Chris walks in and goes "NO! Stop! Asthma!"
The friend jumps "Oh shit!" and stops immediatly

At this point I'm full blown wheezing, but I'm still (attempting to, at least) laughing about the circumstance. Therefore, I can't stop wheezing, because I can't stop laughing, and because I can't stop, I laugh harder.

Chris finally talks to me telling me to take a deep breath and hold it in, and walking me through steps I need to start breathing again.

Our friend felt really bad, but I think I confused him at first....

I still think it was kind of funny... hehe

Well, Chris has an interview today... *crosses fingers* he really wants this job. It's a stock clerk job up at KCI airport. City job, city benefits, weekends off... That would be heavenly :)

Happy birthday to ldyalia . Wishing you a blessed day :)

Chris's is on Monday. No plans as of now, and without money, there probably won't be any...

And its off to work I go... woo... hoo

So, Chris hate his job... So he's getting a call at 7:30 pm tonight for a preliminary phone interview with Citi. He did say he wants to work collections instead of customer service, but he'll still be at the same building with me.. That could work, ecspecially if he gets a shift close to mine or Nick's mom so he can carpool :)

Well, Fest was intresting.
Dancing for 3 Pints Gone was a lot of fun...
Having an asthma attack while dancing not so much.
Having the car run out of gas on the drive home and being stranded... not so fun
Being only about 15 miles from home when it happened and having Chris come save the day... Very nice
Having another attack Monday morning.. not so fun
Going to the doctor and having him approve a short term disability so I can rest, much needed
Picking up my copy of the new Brisingr book... SWEET!

(Brisingr is the third book in Christopher Paolini's Inheritence Cycle, first one being Eragon)

Wedding

The perfect wedding dress... only... with a not so perfect price

Oh and the date has been set: 10/31/2009

2008-09-10T03:44:30Z

I'm very proud of myself :)

We are completly broke... completly, which we haven't been in a while...

And I'm not stressed about it at all...

Chris and I made a New Years Resolution, no matter how bad things get, we won't stress over money.

And we're not stressed :)

Well, this week has been hectic.
Con was great... busy, fast paced, but really a lot of fun.
Get back Monday. Offered to help Chris fold laundry. Sat down. Fell asleep withing 2 minutes.
Tuesday: Work
Wednesday: Chris' Great Grandmother's funeral. Much shorter and smaller than his grandfather's... but it was obvious she was much more loved. I was really grateful to my manager who sent me home so I could go though. I think it ment a lot to Rich (Chris' stepdad).
Thursday: Took half the day off cause of con crud sickness... still recovering
Weekend... Here I come

I am now also addicted to my new 3 Pints Gone cd...

*edit*
Oh... and Mattea is evidently pretty sick... and may not make it to all the fest weekends... *sigh*

ICC

2008-08-17T20:56:36Z

who knows the dates to ICC next year? I'm trying to google it and I can't seem to find it....

life as is

2008-08-06T16:29:02Z

So we are now officially moved in.

First few days were rough. The AC ony works on the first floor of our three story house, and my bedroom is on the second floor. Which, with the addition of a few fans and a window ac unit, it shouldn't be too hard, except for the heat crisis that just ended which left my bedroom at 80 degrees after the fans are taken into consderation.

Air is finnally cooler. Thank the heavens.

Then my car breaks down. The transmission is shot, which is covered by my warranty, but it's going to take two weeks to get my car back...

I work 30 minutes from my house... ARGH

On better news, Chris and I got a new laptop. 17" screen, full keyboard and lots of awsome hardware. $1,100 for the hardware itself. Dad downloaded all the needed Microsoft Office and Anti Virus and Spyware progams for me for free.

YAY! It's so damn pretty!

Anywho, I'm still ready for a vacation away from life... a few more weeks before Dragon Con

life update

2008-07-28T04:25:32Z

So... haven't posted for awhile. But then again, for the most part, there hasn't been much to update. Biggest news: Chris and I are moving next weekend, which doesn't feel huge, because it doesn't feel like your moving when you haven't packed a single box.

oops

Ah well. I still don't believe it's happening. Our lease has been signed over to someone else. We're moving into a house with absolutly no rent. Have to pay bills, but... thats $300 comparison to the $900-$1000 we're used to spending a month. That's a big difference.

Otherwise... nothing extrodinary. My current roomate is the one taking over the house and his girlfriend and her two kids have already started to move in. They're 12 and 13. I'm going to go insane...

Wish me luck

Well, entertaining weekend, and stressful week.

Saturday morning at fair, I woke up very stuffy from allergy problems, and ended up getting sick from such allergies *blegh*

Sunday night, well,

lapis_lazuli615 and malboshiadid a good job of explaining that, and seeing how pretty muh every one of my livejournal friends were there, or heard about it already, we'll skip that scene.

So, Monday, we drove home. Yay for 4 hour car drives.

Yesterday, I was sent home from work cause I was still pretty sick, but I have to make up the hours later in the week.

And finally this morning, Chris calls from work. His grandfather is in the hospital dying. I got up early and we went to see him and to see Chris' mom. She wants Chris to be a pole bearer, so if the funeral is this weekend, he won't make it out to faire. And the truth is, we won't know what's going on until he passes. For now he's stable and in the hospital, but he won't make it another week. Chris was never close to this grandfather, but he has been supportive for his mom.

Can I have a day off somewhere to rest? Please?

*edit*
And I just discovered Robert Asprin died last Thursday...
*sigh* no more mything adventures..
RIP You and your humor shall be missed greatly

Storm

2008-05-03T02:48:30Z

Well... storm was... interesting...
86 mph winds
Started up around here at about 5pm... slowed down and stopped downpouring between 8-2. 2am I went to bed
2:30 I woke up startled, listening to the downpour that sounded like hail, or maybe a giant trying to play my house like a cymbal. I called down to Chris who yelled for me to get Taboo and get to the basement. We waited about ten minutes till the beatings on the house stopped, and went back upstairs.
After the adrenalin died, I went back to bed.

Today I wake up and let Taboo outside, like normal. She chases a squirrel around the fence of the house, like normal. Then she disapears, which wasn't quite so normal. The front of our fence is completely ruined. The wood is still in tact, but there's no way to connect it to the rest of the fence. It's completely fallen over and off.
Taboo, thankfully, is safe in the house, although a little upset cause she can't run around outside. Oh well. She'll deal with it. At least she's safe.
So our new project will be... building a new fence! Woo hoo...
At least Jasmin promised to help, with both the funding and labor.
At least we only lost the fence. Some people down the street lost their entire roof, or even house. There wasn't even a tornado... it was just crazy rain and wind.

Well, the pup is crying for my attention, so I should probably go.

Happy New Year

What Do You Have To Say? - What Makes Me Brave

2007-12-02T01:57:45Z

On this day in 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white man. What have you done that is brave?

Brought to you by HP

You know: Rosa Parks was actually planning on what she did. She was part of an orginaztion fighting for fair rights. I think what's even more brave was that she KNEW ahead of time that she would refuse to give her seat, would be thrown in jail, and used as an image of bravery. The suspense before hand would be terrifying. But I feel that anyone who works to fight a system they don't believe in are brave. Becoming a part of a protest that you believe in... That's true freedom and bravery.

That's it. I quit. I give up...
Right as we start to finish wrapping up the car accident and finally have two cars again, someone throws a rock through Chris' windshield. Now we're back to one car.
Smeone broke the sink in my bathroom. So now I have to get that fixed.
We're sopposed to pay 550 dollars in car payments that I can't afford.
And Chris works 75 hours this week...
...What next?

Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back,
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.

I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the times.

I wear the black for those who never read,
Or listened to the words that Jesus said,
About the road to happiness through love and charity,
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.

Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,
Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.

I wear it for the sick and lonely old,
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.

And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,
Believen' that the Lord was on their side,
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,
Believen' that we all were on their side.

Well, there's things that never will be right I know,
And things need changin' everywhere you go,
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,
You'll never see me wear a suit of white.

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.

hehe!

Dissapointing My Ass!

2007-09-18T00:20:58Z

This is Fat?
She's skinner than I am!
And all these people are saying "Britney Spear's comeback was a total disaster!"
Her voice is still phenomenal! She's had how many kids, and she has a figure like that?
So she doesn't look anorexic. Boo Hoo.
What is wrong with people nowadays?
I don't care what anyone says. I think she looks better than ever. And anyone who thinks her performance was a failure due to her "weight" needs to think again about the idea of beauty. Because people think THIS is the image of overweight, young girls are starving themselves to DEATH.
Keep that on your conscious.

SPIRIT

2007-09-15T15:46:03Z

Spirit is open, and they have opened right across the street from my house!
WOOT!
Chris has applied for a part time job. Don't know anything yet but, that would be awsome.
Taking Shelly out to lunch and then we are our way to waste all of our money on HALLOWEEN!
I have a weekend off. It's pretty amazing!
