I'm going to

I'm going to try and post this while trying to leave out important details about the place I work, since I've learned that even though I use my name and picture all over this blasted journal, some amount of anonymity is important. Anyhoo. So today was my...


I have a

I have a really good picture from when Peter was born. It's all of us sitting around my sister's hospital bed with her holding Peter and Jack at her feet. The only problem is that Jaimee was in said picture. So I removed her with a little help from...


So I finally

So I finally turned my heat on. I held out as long as I could, and made it until November 9th. Not too bad. Last night was speed dating at Kelleher's. I came in at the 25-35 age range by about a month, so was a bit timid about who I'd meet had I actually...


I have a

I have a small yard, but managed to collect 9, yes NINE huge bags of leaves. Yes, my free time this weekend was mostly spent raking. It was beautiful outside though, so it's hard to complain. On Friday I had dinner with the regular crew, followed by The...


So I was

So I was getting my haircut yesterday. We did the whole drill, but after the cut she insisted on shampooing, despite how I told her I was in a hurry to get home. It would only take a minute, she said. I agreed. As she was shampooing, I noticed she stopped...


I managed to

I managed to dig up a few portraits I've done from years past, although my best and highest resolution were lost in the great hard drive reformat of 2004. I've made up some flyers to hand out. I gave one to my human resources department to post on our...


Yesterday was Alan's

Yesterday was Alan's birthday, so after work Angie and I went shopping for birthday presents. After that we picked up fried chicken and headed out to the airport for a delivery. I was ecstatic to see my boyfriend Dayv there, although depressed at his lack...


I think once

I think once again I'm addicted to selling stuff on eBay. It's good, because it gets a lot of junk out of my life and a lot of money in my pocket, but then I get obsessed with looking at all my auctions constantly. I think I'm going to put up all my old...


My weekend wasn't

My weekend wasn't as sit-aroundy as I would have liked, but it was good. Friday was Kouri's night, but at Gorman's this week. We had delicious hot wings and delicious beer. After all the couples went their separate ways, I went home and watched some TV...


So rad_jose tribegirl

So, rad_jose, tribegirl, and devilpuppet(sorta) have all joined in the "one fact/one memory" theme of November. It's obvious to me that it's what the cool kids do, and I, of course, set the standard for cool kids. It's been quite a week so far, and I'm...


So I've decided

So I've decided that I need to copy Polk and have a LJ theme for a month. I've chosen the month of November for my first theme. For the month of November, each one of my entries will contain 1. A fact about myself that most people reading this won't know,...


I had my

I had my first home cooked meal in a long time last night, thanks to Angie who made some weird cheese thing. And potatoes. So the rumor is that Alan is going to buy the house next door. There's a lot of "ifs" that make the deal not a sure thing at all,...


Sunday was crazy

Sunday was crazy productive for this kid. Not only did Optimus get a little bit of attention, but my latest project did as well. I also spent a good long time cleaning. Yes, cleaning. And not just straightening, mind you, but I scrubbed the bathroom and...


It's been an

It's been an excellent weekend so far. Friday I played the fifth wheel, which is always a fun time, at Bogie's where Polk stole a glass. I was shocked and ecstatic when Fabish called during dinner, since I see him about once a month for a couple of hours...


Okay kids so

Okay kids, so this whole Jaimee thing is really messing with my brain in really bizarre ways, like what I had to deal with in high school. I had trouble sleeping last night because I was having dreams about them. I'm terrible at breaking up. I guess the...


So Jaimee has

So Jaimee has a new beau. I'm not happy about it, but I guess I appreciate that she told me before posting about it or letting me hear about it through a third party. I'm slightly more upset about it than I probably should be, but I'll get over it. Until...


So last night

So last night was fantastic. After work I got lost in Bartonville while trying to meet some coworkers, and that was a helluva lot of fun. Then I drove to Pekin and got lost there, which rocked. Eventually I made it to my destination, which was a barbeque...


I guess I

I guess I haven't updated in a while. So on Friday was my night with my boyz at Donnelly's or however you spell it. We missed Kristi, but managed to have good conversation and lots of laughs, as per usual. Afterwards I went to Angie's with the intention...


I know it's

I know it's a couple of days early, but whatever. This is my huge, long, ridiculous post regarding my 4 year anniversary on LiveJournal. Here goes. This year in particular has been a big one for yours truly. I lost my grandpa, which means that this LJ has...


For a bit

For a bit of explanation on my adventures yesterday... I knew that 2 of my new tires had a bit of a slow leak and would need some inflation before driving to work. So I woke up early and, since it was still raining, pulled the Jeep into the garage to...
